Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 379
"Zach Foster!"Linda's eyes were wide with rage, not expecting Zach to go that far.He swore that he would never hurt her!"Linda Cook!!!"Henry suddenly bellowed.And it was the first time he had ever called her by her full name!Linda's lips trembled as she turned toward Henry, and she was shocked to see the doubt in his eyes."Henry…" she murmured, her tears raining to try and curry Henry's sympathy.Even so, he was just glaring icily at her, and she felt a chill creeping up from her toes, extending throughout her body.She knew very well that Henry was absolutely regretful after learning that he had the wrong idea about Tina since two years ago, and that his presumptions had led to him neglecting Sophie.He felt that he owed Sophie so much and could never make amends for her death, and it was a boulder that kept weighing down on him.Over the past two years, he had spent countless nights at that bastard's grave.And whenever he saw anything that reminded him of children

Zach did not bring his evidence, even though he had taken precautions against Linda when he had gone to see her the other night.He kept his evidence safe in case anything unexpected happened. He had lied to Tina about bringing it along and presenting it to Henry, because he just wanted to reveal to Henry that he and Linda were sleeping together all along.He presumed that Henry would snap because he loved Linda so much—a man of his position would never stay with a woman who cheated on him.And once Henry dumped Linda, Linda would have no refuge.And since she did not love Rory, she would hand Rory over to him.However, Henry's reaction was something that Zach did not expect, and Zach himself had trouble deciding if he loved Linda or not.Nevertheless, Linda felt a lifeline when she heard Zach.This was a chance!Looking up at Tina, who was clearly shocked, Linda screamed in grief, "Tina! So you were really working with Zach to set me up! Calling me heinous without proof, mur
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 381
Linda's tears were falling like a string of broken pearls. "Believe me… I didn't do it… You know me. How could I be so heinous?"There was endless grief in each word, as she was betting everything on this killing stroke to win Henry's trust.As long as he believed her, he would not even bother to seek evidence or believe Zach's evidence when it was shown to him.But things were different this time.In the past, whenever Linda used to ask Henry to believe her, he would never hesitate to say that he did.Now, however, his visage was cold and he did not answer, only quietly and quickly bandaging her wrist.Linda's heart sank as she watched.However, she soon pulled herself together—she could not just take this lying down!Zach had yet to show his evidence, and she must not give up until the very last moment!As if losing her sanity, she suddenly withdrew her hand to stop Henry from bandaging it, even tearing it wide open with her remaining good hand.At the same time, she levele

Zach hurried after Henry and Linda, staggering as he did.His mind had gone blank when Linda cut herself with such determination.He certainly knew why Linda had said those words to Henry and why she had slit her wrist.But when he saw those cuts that reached bone on her wrist, the scales of his rationality and sentiment ultimately tipped toward sentiment.He really loved Linda and could not stop himself from worrying.At that moment, he had only one thought—that he did not want Linda to die.After everyone was gone, the door shut on its own, while the ambulance's siren soon faded into the distance.Tina slowly dropped to a crouch, not bothered to clean Linda's blood from the floor.All she could think about was Henry telling Linda that she believed him and could not help clenching her fingers around Sophie's bone. "Mommy's not giving up, and I won't fall again. I'll avenge you, Sophie… Definitely."Even if it killed her.-Linda was barely alive when she was rushed to the

The care worker smiled. "Ms. Smith, Mr. Barnes has asked me to stay and take good care of you. Should I order delivery?"Mendy's provided delivery anyway."I told you to leave and get it yourself," Linda rasped, her voice weak but her glare cold.The care worker was just paid to do a job and did not argue since Linda was insistent, and left to buy breakfast from Mendy's.And once Linda was sure that the care worker had left, her expression turned cold right then.Rory noticed that.She cringed from muscle memory since Linda constantly abused her, but she did not dare to run away.Looking at Linda, she called out gingerly, "Mommy…?""You are a failure!"Linda's eyes narrowed icily and did not hesitate to raise her remaining good hand.She did not slap Rory because Henry might come and see that, but she was really furious and could not get over it if she did not punish Rory.Instead, she knocked Rory off her chair.Right now, Rory was the one she was really sick of, aside fro

In her ward, Linda's thoughts returned to her troubles at hand after she was done venting her grievances.She had stalled Henry and Zach for the time being by threatening suicide but was well aware that it was temporary.Whoever Zach would give the evidence he had to, it was all over for her—she would not just lose Henry, but she would also face prison.And having led a life of privilege for years, it was a fate worse than death.She could not go to prison, and right now, only Rory could hope to convince Zach. Linda's tone was suddenly soft as she called out, "Rory."Rory's eyes lit up. "Mommy!""Rory, Zach has evidence that would make you lose me. So call him now and tell him that if he dares to give it to your daddy, you'll die, and he'll lose you forever."The prospect of dying left Rory clearly taking a step back, resistant.She did not want to die—she had plenty to live for!Linda rolled her eyes in disappointment and pulled Rory toward her. "I'm not actually telling yo

Tina had been at the graveyard before Zach called.She had called Zach repeatedly after learning that Linda was saved, but he never answered.Just by threatening suicide, Linda easily won Henry over and made Zach back down, and everything Tina had done once again went to waste.She was left experiencing the same crippling helplessness she had felt two years ago.As long as she could not unmask Linda's true nature, Linda would never be punished, and Sophie would never rest in peace.Tina could not even begin to express the guilt she felt and could only repeatedly kiss Sophie's cheek, sobbing repeatedly, "I'm sorry, baby…"Her tears had long since dried in the morning breeze."The winds are strong here. You'll catch a cold." Henry suddenly appeared, carefully putting down his offerings in front of Sophie's grave before draping his coat over Tina's shoulders.She immediately tried to push him away but failed as he pressed it on her with both hands. "Even if you hate me, don't hate

Tina had to reevaluate her presumptions about Henry.In the past, she thought Henry lacked principles and trusted Linda unconditionally.But he actually did have principles and would not protect Linda if she had really broken the law.However, she was still uncertain after last night—the closer she was to the truth, the more Tina was afraid of surprises.Henry had let her down countless times since the day Linda murdered Sophie and she tried to get revenge.That man was not worth her trust, but she had no choice—the only thing she could bet on was that hint of sentiment he showed Sophie.As such, before going to the hospital, she was looking Henry straight in the eye as she said slowly and clearly, "If you've really loved Sophie at all as a father and really want to make amends, then you'll stay out of this! When Zach Foster presents proof that Linda paid to have someone murdered, you'll let her be punished by the law as she deserves!""Fine."Henry believed that Tina had the w

Mrs. Smith was almost dying when Linda got the pendant back.As Linda carefully tucked the pendant away, she turned toward Mrs. Smith, intending on waiting until Mrs. Smith was dead before calling for help.However, she suddenly heard footsteps coming toward them, so she had to give up on that plan.Putting on a distressed look, she cried, "Help! Is there anyone out there?! Someone help this woman!"The people above heard and came running, and Linda burst into hysterical tears when she saw them. "Please, I'm begging you! Get help!"Soon, Mrs. Smith was brought upstairs, while Linda was helped up her wheelchair too.She had sustained some cuts and bruises from the fall and was being wheeled into the hospital when she saw Henry, who was sneaking in to check on Mrs. Smith."Henry!" Linda quickly called out. "You should call Yancy to help this patient. She suddenly fainted and fell down the stairs—I tried to catch her but couldn't."Henry turned and saw Mrs. Smith.His face droppi

Because Mrs. Smith was so beautiful, Linda recognized her.The old woman really was Orange's mother, and that meant the pendant was really Tina's.And Tina was Orange!Linda could not help panicking as the truth settled in her mind, as she had always known that all the privilege she got from Henry that allowed her to live so fearlessly was one thing and one thing only.If Henry were to ever find out that Tina was Orange and not Linda, Henry would start to believe everything Tina said.And Linda would not just lose Henry—she would rest in pieces for everything she did.That was why she must never leave anything to chance, let alone have Henry find out.Being Orange was her protection. Without that halo, she was nothing!As Linda glared at Mrs. Smith murderously right then, Mrs. Smith sharply noticed Linda's hostility.Mrs. Smith backed away, trying to leave, but Linda had no intention to let her get away while still alive.Even as Mrs. Smith retreated, Linda steered her wheelc

Fighting against her injury, Mrs. Smith arched her back to pick the pendant up, holding it and studying it.Soon, she was a hundred percent positive that it was the pendant which Henry had given Tina when he left.When Mrs. Smith was reunited with Tina and mentioned Ice, she had asked Tina where it was, but Tina shook her head and said she had lost her memories and did not know where it was.But why did the pendant show up here and now?Did someone pick it up and drop it here?Who was it?Even as the thought crossed Mrs. Smith's mind, someone snatched it off her hands."Don't dirty my pendant with your filthy hands," Linda snapped, her voice shrill as she glared viciously at Mrs. Smith, despising her as much as she despised Tina.However, Mrs. Smith had quick reflexes and snatched the pendant back just as Linda grabbed it, this time holding firmly on it while glaring at Linda in turn."What are you doing?! Give it back to me!"Furious, Linda reached out to grab it.Mrs. Smit
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 397
Mrs. Smith cried, "My daughter was a victim too! She never wanted to sabotage their relationship!"After all, Tina really did not want that to happen, let alone come between Henry and Linda.On top of that, she had paid for that night in pain—and as she was a victim, Mrs. Smith refused to let anyone slander her daughter."Give up already!"However, the gossiper was not letting it rest and kept insisting that Tina was a third-wheeler. "Your daughter definitely saw that the man was rich, so she schemed to get herself into his bed and tried to use the usual baby-trapping scheme!"You should be keeping your head down after what your daughter did! How dare you run your mouth in my face!"Mrs. Smith lost all rationality and wrestled against the gossiper. "I said my daughter isn't a third-wheeler!"However, her health was poor, and the gossiper's three friends were helping her.Soon, Mrs. Smith lost and was shoved painfully to the floor.Her face turned pale as she clutched her chest

It was a sunny day out at the hospital, and Mrs. Smith was feeling great when she woke up.The doctor performed a routine examination, and after having breakfast and taking her medicine, Mrs. Fuller smiled at her. "Why don't we go for a stroll?""Okay." Mrs. Smith did not refuse.As Mrs. Fuller went downstairs with her and they arrived someplace quiet, Mrs. Fuller's phone rang.It was a text message, and Mrs. Fuller soon appeared embarrassed after reading it. "My daughter arrived early. She's at the entrance…""I'm fine. You should hurry—don't make her wait." Mrs. Smith nodded in reply.She was a mother and could understand."Thanks! I'll be right back." Mrs. Fuller smiled gratefully in turn and ran toward the hospital.Mrs. Smith went to sit at a bench with her back to the sun, and took out the book she brought.It was very quiet there, and she could sunbathe while reading as she waited for Mrs. Fuller to return.However, she had barely read a few lines when she heard people

Tina was doing her best to calm down, but her body trembled uncontrollably as she had yet to recover.Jimmy put his hands around hers, helping her take a few sips.As she slowly calmed down, she said, "Can you stay, Jimmy? Let's see Sophie together.""Okay," Jimmy replied mildly and went over to the projector.Soon, Sophie's face appeared on the screen. It was a montage of Sophie's life, starting from the moment she was an infant, fair and pretty, her dark grape-like eyes wide open as she looked around at the world around her in curiosity.She then learned her first steps, always wobbly and falling repeatedly into Tina's arms.And then there was the first time she called Tina 'Mommy'...Tina had not watched those footage of Sophie's life in the days immediately following Sophie's death, because she was afraid she would be overwhelmed.But now, it was her pillar of spiritual support, and she watched it virtually every day.And tonight, she watched it on loop late into the nig

Tina bellowed, "Don't even talk about Sophie! You have no right, Henry Barnes!"At the same time, she pressed a hand over her chest where Sophie's bone was.How devastated would Sophie be, hearing her beloved father repeatedly defend her murderer?Henry sighed. "Tina…""Get out!" Tina bellowed with overflowing spite, cutting him short.Henry could see how obsessed she was and how prickly she got at the very mention of Linda and Sophie.But he could not just ignore this—she would keep doing everything she could to hurt Linda, and in the end destroy herself."You should know very well, Tina, that you won't hurt Linda as long as I'm around."Henry just wanted to make her back off—to stop being obsessed and hurting everyone and herself.But in Tina's mind, he was telling her that no matter what Linda did, no matter how grievous a crime she committed, Henry would always be there to protect Linda.And Linda would always get away with it.Tina had been doing her best to fight back
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 393
Tina chuckled coolly. "Heh."Henry was saying that he wanted to start over? That was certainly the worst joke ever."How did you find the audacity to say such a thing?" She scoffed. "Start over? With who, you? Is every other man in the world dead, that I should be with you—an animal who is protecting Sophie's murder?"Every word was filled with bone-cutting hatred.Even if hatred could pass in time, her hatred toward Henry and Linda only grew by the day.As long as she had yet to avenge Sophie, she would never be able to put that hatred to rest.Henry's grip eased as he met Tina's spiteful glare.And she had just worked with Zach, almost forcing Linda into suicide…However, he did not get upset, instead keeping his tone calm as he reasoned sincerely, "I know you can't get over Sophie's death, and you still think that Linda murdered her, and you want Linda dead for it."But can't we just be reasonable? Linda has made a mistake, but she doesn't deserve to die."She has already

John had to be there for this one.Still, Tina asked, "I thought you said it'd at least be two weeks. Don't ruin your work because you're forcing yourself to rush back—I'm fine, don't worry.""No. Things have just gone smoothly, so I'm returning ahead of schedule," John replied, lying so she did not have to worry.How could he not be worried? Upon learning that Zach had suddenly turned against Tina, he wanted nothing less than to fly back right away to be there for her.And Tina argued at those words. "It must be late over there. You should get some sleep."There was a seven-hour time difference, and it should be past midnight over there now."Alright," John replied. "Just remember to call me if anything happens, and keep your phone switched on at all times.""Okay."John kept nagging nonetheless and only hung up after saying 'bon appetit' when the food arrived.Though she did not have an appetite, Tina was famished, and John had ordered from her favorite restaurants, so she
