Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 383
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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 384
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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 385
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

Seeing Zach, Tina could not help starting toward him and was the first to ask, "Where's the proof?"She had been waiting for this moment for too long.Zach pulled out a recorder out of his pocket and passed it to Tina, who clenched her fingers around it, her eyes red with tears.She turned, leveling a vengeful glare at Linda before turning toward Henry and snapping very coldly, "Don't forget what you've just said in front of Sophie's grave.""I'm a man of my word," Henry replied. "I won't protect Linda if Zach's accusations are proven true."His words were meant for Tina, but his eyes were on Linda.Linda was looking at him in turn and met his gaze unflinching despite her frailness and pale cheeks after having just slit her wrist.There was none of the panic she should have felt if she was about to be exposed, only the grief of being slandered.Henry's gaze darkened, but he watched as Tina played the recorder without hesitation."Zach Foster, you should know very well what wou
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 388
Zach sighed. "There's nothing I can do if you're going to keep being stubborn about that. But I called you here today just to tell you that I won't slander Linda in front of Mr. Barnes anymore."And with that, he bowed deeply at Linda as she lay in bed. "I'm sorry, Linda… Mr. Barnes."Suddenly he dropped to his knees and sobbed, "I'm sorry, Linda… you were drunk seven years ago, and I fell for you at first sight. That's why I couldn't control myself and hurt you…"Now, I can't have you back, and Tina beguiled me into slandering you and almost killed you."I'm scum! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Linda!""Don't say my name, you have no right!" Linda's tears had already covered her face, and she threw herself into Henry's arms, sobbing miserably while turning to Tina. "When are you going to stop?! Are you only going to stop after you kill me?!"Tina watched as things unfolded and snapped coldly, "Don't get so full of yourself. It's simply not the time yet, but your comeuppance is ine

Zach was left coughing up blood, as he was being put through agony that no human being could survive.His visage contorted even as he squeezed the words through his teeth. "Please, Mr. Barnes… I really don't have proof… I'm just upset and love Linda too much. That's why I was working with Tina, so that you would come to hate Linda and leave her, so that I can be with her…"Zach refused to break even as he screamed at the top of his lungs. He knew that Henry wanted to squeeze the truth out of him, but he really could not tell the truth.But Henry's gaze remained dark as he left Zach spasming in agony.Eventually, he stopped—Zach was just an average Joe, and no one without special training could survive that pain.He would have broken if he were lying, and that meant Tina was lying.He called someone in and took Zach away to be treated, and soon, it was just him and Linda in the room.Intent on setting Henry on Tina, Linda started sobbing. "Henry, you saw it for yourself! Tina i
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 390
However, despite Linda waiting, all she heard from Henry was, "That's not going to happen."In other words, he would not do anything to Tina.As for Linda almost dying? That was totally pointless.Linda certainly could not stand how protective Henry was and was snapping before she knew it, "Henry! Are you really protecting Tina out of guilt, or is it because you've fallen in love with her?!"As she asked that, her eyes were fixed on Henry, not missing even the slightest twitches.She had asked that question two years ago, but Henry did not hesitate to answer that he had not.Now, however, the same question left him silent.And that silence was a sharp blade that stabbed Linda deep into her heart, leaving her in so much pain that her tears covered her face.This was no act—she was really hurting so much that she was crying.No!She was Orange, the one Henry loved the most!There was no way he would fall for someone else!Linda refused to believe that she could not retain Hen

Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 526
John did not hide his selfish nature when he was around Tina.In the end, he was really not that confident in himself—not after Tina had been in love with Henry for so many years, and John himself knew all too well how difficult it was to get over a person after loving them for so long.Still, Tina knew what John was getting at. "I'll never forgive Henry Barnes for the rest of my life, nor return to his side."There is no question that Linda was the one who murdered Sophie. But without Henry's involvement, she would never have had the chance."What she did was horrible, but he's just as unforgivable."That was why she loathed Linda as much as Henry.And the way she saw it, Sophie's death would always stand between her and Henry—there was no chance for her to turn back to him in this life.Seeing the determined expression on her face, John understood that the chief reason that Tina hated Henry so much was because of Sophie's death, and she refused to forgive him.But what if Sop
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 525
As Henry turned toward Tina, he could imagine how much despair she would have suffered that night, having to wipe blood off Sophie's gravestone.And she had loved Sophie so much that she bought that specific plot of land for Sophie's final resting place, just so that Sophie could be reborn into a better family in her next life!"Tina, can you check on the stew?" John came up with an excuse for Tina to leave, as there were more things that he did not want Tina to remember.Tina nodded quietly and entered the apartment without another look at Henry, while John shut the door as he watched.Then, turning toward Henry again, John asked, "Now, let's talk about Linda's legs. Did you know why Tina pushed her?"Henry could not even answer at that point.Just the two things mentioned earlier was more than what he could take—his heart was almost in pieces and bleeding for Sophie, and for Tina even more so.And yet, John continued, "It was all Linda. She found that Tina was severely depress

Henry's eyes widened—that was the day… Sophie was buried?!What the hell was he doing?!He felt a chill creeping up from his toes and wobbled backward until his back hit the wall.He never thought about that, because he did not know Linda had every intention to murder Sophie.And now that John laid bare the truth before him, he remembered what he did.Rory had won third place in some jogging event at her kindergarten, and she harmonized perfectly with Linda at Rose Garden.While Rory was coaxing Henry sweetly to celebrate it for her with a grand party, Linda appeared disapproving that he was spoiling Rory, but then offhandedly mentioned they should do it on the weekend.And on the day of the party, Linda had deliberately called Tina to invite her to the party, even asking Tina to bring Sophie along since Henry had not seen Sophie for a while.At the time, Henry was completely skeptical of Sophie's death and missed Sophie since it had really been a while since he saw her.He wa
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 523
As Henry dropped to his knees, his blood freezing up, he realized had really been harboring Sophie's murderer all along.Remorse and regret struck him everywhere all at once.He looked up at Tina, wanting very much to tell her that he did not know.If he had known that Linda had taken the kidney meant for Sophie maliciously, he would not have protected Linda even if he was still under the impression that Linda was Orange.But he also realized that it was not as if he did not have the chance to find out.It was all because of his suspicion toward Tina that he denied her any chance to speak up.Or perhaps she had already given up on him at that point.Tears were welling up in Tina's eyes as she realized what Henry meant to say.Time seemed to turn back to the day when Sophie died, and she was once again mourning Sophie.It had been over two years, but she could never get a good night's sleep at the notion that Sophie was not avenged and therefore could not rest in peace."I've

Henry did try to force Zach to give up the alleged evidence he had against Linda and even put him through pain that only professionals could endure, let alone a normal person.But since Zach did not give up, he simply presumed that Tina bore a grudge and framed Linda, all because Linda had stolen the kidney meant for Sophie, allowing Rory to survive while Sophie died.If the truth was what Tina had claimed, however—that Rory was not even a match for the kidney transplant meant for Sophie—then that could only mean that Linda had meant to murder Sophie in the first place.Everything she said—that she loved Rory too much and did not want to lose her, and that she felt guilty from picking her own child out of selfishness… Those were all lies!On the other hand, tears were welling up in Tina's eyes as she felt as she was brought back to that day."Linda never meant to let Sophie live from the start. And she didn't just steal the kidney meant for Sophie—when Sophie's condition turned te
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 521
Tina glared icily at Henry as she snapped, "What's the point of kneeling here?! You don't even get to apologize as long as you have yet to avenge Sophie!"Henry's burly figure clearly cringed from Tina's words.His lips parted but he had no idea what to say, because he had a hand in Sophie's death too.If he had not told Eric Sandler to prioritize Rory if there was a donor match, Linda would not have been able to steal the kidney meant for Sophie, and Sophie would be alive.Even if he did not know, he was still the reason Linda succeeded, and that made him the chief culprit of Sophie's death."Tina…" He tried to speak despite the difficulty, only to stop.However, Tina knew what he was going to say, seeing the look on his face, and was absolutely seething as she stared daggers at him. "Are you going to tell me that Linda has already suffered for it?! That she's lost her legs and now a hand—""No…."Tina's outburst certainly reminded him of the dastardly things he said to defend

The instant Tina tapped on the notification, she found Henry kneeling outside her door, motionless.She swiped through her phone and saw that most notifications were from Henry, with the first of many being sent at three in the morning.That meant Henry had driven straight to her place after leaving Rose Garden and knelt outside her door for almost four hours.But Tina remained unaffected.Remembering the video John had sent earlier, she had a hunch that Henry was outside after he became aware of Rory's true nature.She soon tapped out of the notifications and kept chatting with John since she found herself in a good mood first thing in the morning.When John said he had yet to have breakfast, Tina could read between the lines and did not play dumb, telling him that she would cook extra portions for him when he came over.John replied: [Already on my way.]Tina could not resist a smile. [Drive safe. See you soon.]After putting down her phone, she went about her daily routine—
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 519
It was an especially long night, and every passing second was especially gruelling as Henry stayed on his knees outside Tina's door, like his heart was being stabbed.-When Tina woke up, she noticed that John had just texted her a minute ago.[Are you up?]Tina smiled ever so faintly as she replied: [Mornin'.][There's a video you should watch.][Okay.]While waiting for the video to be sent to her phone, she noticed many notifications from her alarm system.It was the first time this had happened since she moved in, and she was about to tap on it when John's file was downloaded.Tina tapped on the video first and immediately recognized that it was taken outside Rsoe Garden when she tapped on it.A familiar car was outside Linda's villa—it was Henry's.Tina's gaze cooled as she looked on.Yesterday was Sophie's death anniversary and also Rory's birthday.And given how much Henry doted on Rory, it was not hard to see that he went to the Rose Garden after visiting Sophie's
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 518
As Henry's car soon disappeared in the night, Rory was left behind and too exhausted to give chase.She lay sprawled on the ground, watching as Henry left her, and her body's warmth slowly faded.Her gaze was endlessly horrified and helpless.Was he really going to leave her?-After leaving Rose Garden, Henry drove straight to Tina's apartment, having paid a hefty sum to buy the adjacent units to hers after finding out that she had moved there.He drove into the car park but stayed downstairs.The apartment complex was very quiet as it was three in the morning, but his heart could not quiet down at all.After all, he had been horrified since the moment he exposed Rory's two-faced nature.It was so obvious, but he just did not see it!He really was too overjoyed from the reunion when Linda showed up, passing herself off as Orange.The delight of the lost and found was just too much, and he cared even more for Linda when she told him that Mama Orange was dead, and how much su
