Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 427
Tina clenched her knuckles as she fought against her rage and retorted against the officer, "Mrs. Fuller said it herself. It was Linda—""We've interrogated Mrs. Fuller too," the officer replied patiently. "It turns out to be mere speculation on her part, and she's never met Ms. Cook personally."When your mother fell down the stairs, she saw you accuse Ms. Cook, so she presumed that it was Ms. Cook who had contacted her."That was why she blamed Ms. Cook after she was caught red-handed, but her contact was Zach Foster all along."While Tina knew that the police investigation only went that far, Linda getting with it again left her absolutely discontent."Please, officer," Tina pleaded. "This can't be the whole truth—don't close the case so soon! Keep pressing Zach and try to find more evidence."He's not the culprit. He has no quarrel with my mother, it has to be Linda—""Tina Smith! Don't you blame Linda for everything!!!" Zach suddenly bellowed in agitation despite having sta

Henry walked up to Tina, speaking under his breath, "This ends here, so quit causing a mess. To be fair to your mother, I'll make Zach pay for hurting her, okay?"He tried to offer Tina some assurance so that she would stop being stubborn.After Sophie's death, Tina was so prejudiced that she would immediately blame Linda for anything that happened.However, Tina was already doing her best to fight back her flaring impulses, but Henry's words made her wheel on him with a furious glare. "Shut up!"Beside her, John grimaced and put a hand around her shoulder, even as she shook with rage.Henry's gaze darkened even as he stared at the hand.That was when Linda arrived.A female officer had helped her clean the excrement off her body, but she was still haggard after being tormented that night, even looking like she had lost a few pounds."Henry…" she called out miserably when she saw him.As she steered her wheelchair up to Henry, she fell toward him, and he caught her.She leane

After Zach was taken away, the case was closed.Weary in body and spirit, Tina refused to look at Henry or Linda twice. "John, let's go back to the hospital.""Okay," John replied, putting a hand over her shoulder and leading her outside.Tina did not push him away, leaning against him intimately.Henry's gaze darkened.Just seeing that really stung his eyes, and he was ready to stride forward to pull Tina away from John and into his arms.Still, he just took one step and paused, as he remembered that Linda was still there.Linda saw it anyway.However, she fought back her jealousy, as if she never noticed that Tina had Henry's attention.Tugging on Henry's hand, she asked meekly, "Can you help me with the paperwork, Henry?""Yeah," Henry replied quietly and turned away from Tina as he went with an officer to help Linda with the paperwork for her release.Linda watched and waited until he was out of sight, then turned back toward Tina, not hiding the flaring jealousy in her

Even as she remembered everything that she had gone through last night, Linda could tear Tina into pieces where she stood.How dare she have her arrested and locked up!As such, seeing that Tina actually stopped, she refused to fail and kept taunting Tina, deriving great glee as she did."You should be thanking me, Tina! I'm being kind to you!" Linda laughed. "Your bastard was five when she died, and she must be lonely burning in hell alone!"You're supposed to be her mother, but you're so afraid of dying that you refuse to die and join her. Guess I have to do it as her stepmother and send her grandmother to join her instead!"Oh, but who knew that her grandmother would get lucky? She refused to die from the fall, and then, even after having her oxygen tube pulled out!"So why are you still alive? Why don't you just die and take your useless mom with you?! Go together to join your bastard in hell!"Seeing Tina shaking with rage but unable to do anything about it certainly satisf

"She did this to me…"Linda was given such a vicious beating that even breathing hurt.Her expression changed right away when she saw that Henry was concerned for her, sobbing as she dropped accusations. "Tina has really gone too far this time!"I've done nothing! If I had stayed inside, I would be thinking about what happened last night, so I came out to wait for you."I saw Tina and kept my distance. But when she saw me, she came straight to me and started hitting me."There's no way I could have fought back! How could she do this?! This is too much for me!"Linda sobbed miserably as she threw herself into Henry's arms.Her goal was clear—to make Henry sympathize and disfigure Tina in retaliation for her satisfaction.Linda could not stand, so Henry had to hold her waist to keep her stead.As such, Linda seized the moment to lean on Henry's body, wrapping her arms around the man's slender waist while leveling a tearful glare at Tina.It was a wordless declaration that Henry
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 432
But these days, Henry was clearly set on taking Tina's side on everything.If Linda pressed the issue, it would only upset Henry.And she was not stupid enough to do that.As such, despite her discontent, Linda kept it from showing while speaking gingerly as if she was compromising. "You're right, Henry… Tina must have snapped because she was in a bad mood."I won't get the cops involved, but she did hurt me. It's not too much to ask for an apology, is it?"Even if she looked like she was backing off, her intention was utterly malicious.Sure, she could not have Tina arrested, but making Tina apologize when she had already murdered Tina's daughter and left Tina's mother a vegetable?The sheer indignation would kill Tina!As Henry looked at Linda's swollen, battered face, even he had to agree that Tina went too far.As such, it was really not too much for Linda to demand just an apology from Tina after that.Nodding in agreement, he turned toward Tina, who was getting in John'

Never did it cross Linda's mind that the donor would be Jimmy Jones, Tina's best friend!Like Tina, Jimmy loathed Linda over Sophie's death.Meanwhile, Rory's doctor was continuing, "Rory's really lucky. Mr. Jones had a friend who died of kidney failure, so he had registered himself as a donor. And it just so happens that he's a match for Rory."The doctor liked Rory since she was always so sweet and was happy for her that she got a donor match so quickly.Linda was happy too, and not because Rory was saved, but because Jimmy was the donor.Tina knew that Linda murdered her daughter but could not do anything about it.And now, her best friend was going to donate his kidney for charity, but to the daughter of her sworn enemy.As such, Linda planned to tell Tina the truth after the surgery, and she wondered how devastated Tina would be then.Just the thought eased the frustration she suffered at Tina's hands.While Rory's doctor left after informing Linda, Linda headed back to R
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 434
Sighing, Jimmy continued, "I'm at that age to retire, and it's the right time to do it after this tournament. So donating a kidney won't affect my life that much, but it will help an entire family. That's really worthwhile, don't you think?"Losing Sophie still hurt him, but he and Tina had been through it together, so he knew how long a wait it was for a kidney donor, or how many patients never got one in time.Like Tina, he hoped that there would be one less family that was left broken because of illness.As Tina found herself unable to respond, Jimmy simply patted her head.-Henry was helping Rory braid her hair in her hospital room.She liked being pretty and loved being spoiled, often bugging Henry to tie her hair into various types of pretty braids ever since she returned to the country.Henry learned despite not knowing how at first, as he could not say no to Rory, and she would cry a fit if he did not.As long as he was around, he would tie her hair.At this point, he

However, Linda was not all that confident even as she spoke, as she knew that Henry absolutely hated her now.Even so, she had to harass Tina—just seeing Tina upset made her happy.After Henry stormed out of Rose Garden last night, a security guard had to carry a wounded Rory home.And when Linda tried to call Henry, she realized that her number had been blocked and understood that Henry was really upset after last night.But he loved Rory, so he definitely would just be upset for a moment.Once he calmed down, Rory just had to play the victim card again and sweet talk him to earn his forgiveness.Linda had no doubt about that.Ever since Henry found out that Tina was the real Orange but still pampered Rory, it was clear he really loved Rory.And Sophie was dead—how was she ever going to win against Rory?As such, Rory was now Linda's pride.With Rory, she could continue to lead a life of privilege and swipe credit cards without a spending limit, as well as stay in their pres

But what if Sophie was alive?John really wanted to ask the question but calmed down before he breathed those words, stopping himself just in time.He was still looking.He must never give Tina false hopes before he found anything definitive, because she loved Sophie very much and it would leave her devastated again.On the other hand, seeing that John suddenly trailed off, Tina asked, "What…?""Nothing. Why don't you rest on the couch and let me handle breakfast?"John smiled, ultimately saying nothing about Sophie while putting a hand on her shoulder, gently nudging her to get some rest."No, I'll help." Tina shook her head and worked with him to cook breakfast.Soon, they were done and finished breakfast together.While John headed to work, Tina went to the mall.Mrs. Smith was recovering better than expected, thanks to Yancy helping her with a special recovery plan.As such, Tina had time to buy her new clothes and a birthday present for Helen Moore, as the latter's birt

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

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

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—
