Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 361
As Tina led Zach out of Rose Garden, John hurried to her when he saw her, having been waiting outside the gates.While he was right outside and had heard everything and knew that Tina was fine, he still could not help studying her from head to toe.As Henry stepped out, he just happened to see Tina leaving in John's car, and his gaze darkened.-Soon, Zach was taken back to John's villa where he was held before.He immediately curled up on the couch, clutching his own head in silence—it had really been a terrible day for him.Nonetheless, Tina sat opposite him. "Zach Foster."Zach ignored her and did not look up at all.Tina did not take offense and continued calmly, "You should know very well what would've happened to you if I hadn't bailed you out today."I'm no saint, and I'm not going to help someone who tried to murder me before."Pausing as she saw Zach's fingers clearly stiffen, she continued, "You probably know what I want. You have one day to think about the leverage
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 362
When John stepped out and saw the food, he recognized where it was from.He glanced at Tina but said nothing, as his order had arrived at the same time.It was late after they had dinner with Mrs. Smith, and John left early since he had work.Tina stayed since she wanted to stay longer with Mrs. Smith, and while they were talking, Tina's phone rang.She took it out of her bag and saw that it was from an unsaved number, but she knew Henry's number by heart at this point.She declined the call with no more than a look.It had been two years—she thought she could be calm around Henry and stay immune to him after cheating death.However, she did not expect that just seeing him defend Linda unconditionally while doting on Rory like treasure would still leave her furious and remind her of the injustice Sophie had suffered.Right now, she did not want anything to do with Henry."Why didn't you take that?" Mrs. Smith asked in concern."It's just some telemarketer," Tina replied calml
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 363
As Mrs. Smith charged at Henry and Tina in a frenzy, and as she got close, she could clearly see the look of disgust on Tina's face.But Tina was not pushing Henry away, instead clenching her knuckles, her own nails digging into her own palm as she did her best to restrain herself.Anyone could tell that she was reluctant—how could she not be?!That man had indirectly murdered Sophie, and then protected the murderer.In fact, Mrs. Smith despised Henry more than Linda.Linda was vile and not to be forgiven, but that was even more so for Henry, who was supposed to be Sophie's biological father!If Mrs. Smith already hated Henry this much, it went without saying how much more Tina would hate him as Sophie's mother.And yet, she did not push Henry away. Why?But what other reason could there be? Right now, Tina's only weakness was Mrs. Smith herself, which put her at Henry's mercy.Oh, her dear Tina!Even as Mrs. Smith's heart broke, her tears blurred her vision as she felt pai
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 364
Tina clearly did not believe Henry—why would she, when he had threatened her with her mother's life, treating it like it was just a tool?As Henry had no choice but to withdraw his hand, Tina helped Mrs. Smith, tearful as she tried to comfort Mrs. Smith. "Mom, just calm down—people like him aren't worth it. Let's just get you back to the hospital for now, okay?"Mrs. Smith was in no state to be away from the hospital, and Tina was really worried."No, I'm not going back." Mrs. Smith shook her head.The rim of her eyes reddened as she gave Tina a pained look—she had already made up her mind when she saw what Henry was doing to her daughter.Squeezing Tina's hand while leveling a cold, spiteful glare at Henry, she snapped, "You know Tina cares about me. That's why you used me to threaten her, didn't you?!"So listen here, and listen well—I won't undergo that surgery!"As long as she refused that, Henry had nothing to threaten Tina with.Tina had already suffered enough!"Mom!" T

Linda was confused.She had never told Zach about stealing the kidney meant for Sophie.How could he have known, and how much did he know?Even as Linda pondered, another text came from Zach.[I know you've had a change of heart, and I won't ask for you to come back to me. All I want is Rory.][Give me money, and once I leave Jadelight with Rory, I promise that you and Henry won't ever see me again.][And I'll take your secret to the grave without ever telling anyone else.]Zach's words were earnest.He really loved Linda, and it was not like he felt no resentment that Linda had turned away from him.But no matter how much resentment he felt, she was the only woman he had ever loved.They had been together when she was eighteen and had Rory together.Just those two things stopped him from taking Tina's side and hurting Linda.Hence, after much thought, he decided to negotiate with Linda.However, Zach's text only left Linda smiling in contempt.Give him Rory? No chance!
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 366
However, despite being plenty cooperative ever since she was admitted to this hospital, Mrs. Smith ignored Yancy for the first time and started flailing viciously when the nurse got near."Don't touch me!" Mrs. Smith bellowed.Worried that her agitation would hurt her health, Yancy promptly gestured for the nurse to open the door and quickly wheeled her out.Once he saw Tina, he said, "Sorry, Ms. Smith, but your mother is suddenly demanding that she gets discharged. Please reason with her—this is an important period where she must stay and condition herself for the surgery next month.""I said I'm not undergoing that surgery!" Mrs. Smith snapped.She refused to stay in this hospital! Henry wanted to threaten Tina with her life?! Dream on!"Please, Mom! Nothing's more important than your health."Seeing that Mrs. Smith was still agitated, Tina's voice choked with tears even as she took Mrs. Smith's hand. "I've lost Sophie. I can't lose you too."Her mother was her only family
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 367
Mrs. Smith had been staring at Henry for a while, and her eyes widened when he saw the pendant exposed on his hip.It looked like Tina's, but Mrs. Smith had just regained consciousness, and her vision was blurry.Worried that she had mistaken it, she suddenly told Henry, "Come here."Yancy was relieved as she was not agitated like before and thought telling the truth worked.He could see that Henry cared about Mrs. Smith's condition, and it would not be the case if he did not care about Tina.And seeing that there was still hope, he stepped aside, clearing the way from Henry.Henry's gaze was dark.He had no idea what Mrs. Smith wanted but walked up to her as she had asked.And once he was close and Mrs. Smith got a good look, and saw that the pendant really was Tina's.Years ago, when Ice was leaving, they had exchanged tokens—Ice had given Tina the pendant he always carried, and she had done the same with her pendant.So why would Henry have Tina's pendant?The answer was
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 368
Having made up her mind, Mrs. Smith calmed down and turned toward Tina. "Let's go back to my room."If Henry stopped holding her hostage to coerce Tina, she was naturally happy to get the surgery."Okay," Tina's heart was at ease with those words.That was when Henry suddenly pressed a hand on the handles of Mrs. Smith's stretcher, his dark gaze on her as he asked, "Excuse me, is there a problem with this pendant?"He could not help asking to see the weird looks she was giving it."Problem? Well, the problem is that the one who holds it doesn't deserve it!" Mrs. Smith scoffed pointedly, as she really wished that she had never saved Henry.Yancy was actually shocked that Mrs. Smith was still so cold toward Henry and felt indignant for his sake. "Mrs. Smith, Henry did everything he could to help you, from getting the medicine to arranging the best meals. He was meticulous—""And what, should I be grateful?" Mrs. Smith replied sharply.Yancy frowned. "Even if you aren't, you shoul

Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 410
Henry had not fallen asleep for long when Jimmy rudely shook him awake.He was a light sleeper, and as he jolted awake right away and opened his eyes, he leveled a clearly hostile glare at Jimmy.Jimmy met his glare unflinching, even snapping coolly, "My godmother wants to see you."Henry's hostility faded right away at those words.Jimmy's godmother was obviously Tina's mother, and for some reason, she was asking to see him.Henry promptly got up, but he moved too quickly and his head started spinning.He leaned against his bed on one hand, pushing himself up slowly.He headed to the washroom first, cleaning up at top speed before putting on a suit and heading to the opposite room."Mrs. Smith."As he entered, he greeted Tina's mother humbly, without poising himself with superiority.Mrs. Smith knew she should not feel agitated when her surgery was so recent.In fact, she took her time composing herself before Henry came over and was much calmer when she saw him this time.

Yancy had been sleeping in his office too and never left the hospital, leaving express instructions for the nurses to call him as soon as Mrs. Smith woke up.As he hurried over, he quickly examined Mrs. Smith, while Tina stood by her bed looking utterly worried.When Yancy was finally done, Tina quickly asked, "How's my mother?""She's cleared the risk period—she's stable now." Yancy nodded at her, utterly relieved as well.As they spoke, Mrs. Fuller—who was standing behind them—quietly hung up the call on her phone.Linda was listening on the other end.She too had gone the entire night without sleeping after leaving the hospital yesterday, albeit waiting for Mrs. Smith to die from the surgery.She really wondered how much Tina would suffer from it, and if she would lose her mind altogether.What she did not expect was for Mrs. Smith to be so lucky to survive, and she panicked as soon as she heard the surgery was a success.Nothing about everything that had happened yesterday
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 408
Hearing that the surgery was a success, Tina burst into tears of joy. "Thank you so much!"An exhausted Yancy told Tina that Mrs. Smith would be out in another ten minutes, and she had nothing to worry about.Then, he returned inside as well to get changed.As the doors of the operating room closed, she turned and threw herself into Jimmy's arms. "Oh, Jimmy! Mom's alright now!"She was completely unaware that it was Henry, who had somehow arrived outside the operating room and was standing right beside her.Henry knew that she got the wrong person, but he could not resist wrapping his arms around her.However, the embrace was all too brief as Tina realized almost instantly that she was hugging Henry.Having loved him for so many years, she was all too familiar with his scent and did not hesitate to push him away just as he was just about to hold her in turn.However, he had just donated a lot of blood and had barely made it there to wait with Tina.Utterly frail, he staggered

However, Henry did not hesitate to hang up on Linda while grasping and gently squeezing Tina's cold, trembling hand."I won't leave until your mother's surgery is over. I'll do all I can to make sure she's safe."There was no changing Sophie's death, and there was nothing he could do about that.But he would do what he could for Mrs. Smith.And before Tina could speak, Henry released her hand and hurried away with the nurse.His phone rang three times before he was gone from his sight.They were all calls from Linda, but Henry did not hesitate to hang up on her.It was the first time Henry had chosen Tina instead of Linda when Tina needed him.Nonetheless, Jimmy put a hand around Tina's shoulder then. "I just got off the phone with two of my friends. They're coming as we speak."Don't take it to heart, Tina. Henry Barnes owes you that much."He did not want Tina to feel burdened by Henry's help, when she hated that man to the bone.Even if what he did would not change Tina's
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 406
"The patient needs multiple emergency transfusions, and our blood bank supply won't last for long."Yancy was really anxious—the surgery was difficult in the first place, and he certainly did not anticipate a nasty surprise like this halfway.And if they did not get enough blood in time, Mrs. Smith was really going to die.Even if Yancy did not say that out loud, Tina could read that much from the look on his face.Her blood grew cold as if she fell into an icy abyss, and she could not stop herself from trembling.It was as if she had returned to the day when Sophie died.Dr. Ferguson had stepped out halfway during the surgery just to tell her that the kidney transplant could not be performed as the kidney had been taken away.There was nothing he could do, and he told her to be prepared for the worst.But there was no way Tina could give up on Sophie—grabbing Dr. Ferguson's arm, Tina begged him not to give up and said that she would come up with something.As she stood outsid
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 405
As Tina trusted Jimmy, she did not keep her feelings bottled up and leaned on his shoulder as she sobbed softly, "Jimmy, I'm really scared… It's just like what happened to Sophie…""No." Jimmy promptly stopped her. "Your mother's definitely going to be fine."As Henry heard the mention of Sophie while standing nearby, his heart clenched, pain showing in his eyes.Nonetheless, it was soon over ten hours since the surgery started, and it was still going on.Even as night arrived, the trio remained outside the operating room.They did not have an appetite in the afternoon, but Henry ordered some food as evening arrived.Tina really still did not feel like eating.Henry knew that reasoning would not work on her. And while he could just force her to eat, he could not bear to do it either.He turned to give Jimmy a look.Although Jimmy was on Tina's side and hated Henry, he had to cooperate for Tina's sake.He walked up, took a lunchbox, and sat beside Tina as he opened it. All

The day Sophie died two years ago was a barb stuck deep in Tina's heart, and it hurt at the slightest touch.-Soon, Mrs. Fuller returned in a hurry after getting a call and was told that Mrs. Smith was in trouble.Her face was covered in sweat as she ran headlong into Linda, and she glanced at Linda out of the corner of her eye while Linda watched her.Still, she soon hurried to Tina, immediately tugging on Tina's arm as she cried and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Smith. It's all my fault—I shouldn't have run off when I was supposed to be on duty."I'm so sorry… I didn't think that this would happen to your mother in such a short span of time."However, Tina really could not even be bothered to respond and frowned at her sobs.Henry promptly strode up and snapped coolly, "Shut up."He was so intimidating that Mrs. Fuller promptly turned silent.Not daring to keep crying, she said softly, "I'll be here, Ms. Smith. Just call me if anything comes up."Still looking guilty, she
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 403
Tina did not even look at Henry as she shoved him off and hurried to Andy, demanding, "Where's the footage?"She really doubted that her mother's suddenly worsened condition had nothing to do with Linda.Nonetheless, Andy showed her the security footage with just a look from Henry.And Henry stood beside Tina, while gesturing for Andy to help Linda back on her wheelchair.However, the footage only showed Mrs. Fuller taking Mrs. Smith outside, where there were cameras.The cameras only caught several people running toward the stairs, and soon, nurses rushed in the same direction with a stretcher, with Mrs. Smith and Linda brought upstairs after.No one knew how Mrs. Smith fell and what happened before that. "I called them over too, Mr. Barnes," Andy said, beckoning for the people who were at the stairs at the time.Henry nodded, and the people were each enthusiastic as they were told there would be a reward, telling everyone everything they saw at the time."We were just passi

Tina's kick landed squarely on Linda's face!"Argh!" Linda cried out in pain and turned to level a tearful gaze at Henry. "Help me…"She waited for Henry to do what he usually did—throw Tina aside and run over to dote on her.And yet Henry kept holding on to Tina, pulling her backward. "Calm down, Tina!"However, Tina's eyes were red as she glared viciously at Linda on the floor. "Calm down?! Linda murdered Sophie and Grandma, and now, my mother has to undergo her surgery ahead of time because of her!"And you're telling me to calm down?! Let go of me!"Nonetheless, Henry dragged Tina firmly backward, and she could not free herself despite struggling violently.As such, she stopped struggling and kept kicking Linda instead.Unable to dodge, Linda was kicked repeatedly until Henry finally pulled Tina away and pinned her between himself and the wall.Tina's chest heaved—even if she could not free herself from Henry, she glared spitefully past Henry's shoulder.Henry could not s
