Chapter 429

Author: Angelica1
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

    Tina Smith was the only person present for her daughter's cremation, and her loose black dress barely hid the weight she had lost.Her wistful eyes were red and puffy from tears too, and she took out a pair of hair pins, arching her back as she gently slid them into her daughter's hair.It was a birthday present for her daughter, which she had designed herself."Happy birthday, baby. Mommy will always love you."As Tina leaned down to gently kiss her daughter's forehead, the icy touch to her lips left tears welling up in her eyes again.It was soon time nonetheless."My condolences."A crematory assistant approached Tina, reminding her politely, "When is the father coming?"There was a father noted on the papers, after all.Still, there was a brief flicker of coldness in Tina's eyes. "He isn't coming!""But are you really not going to wait?"The crematory assistant was a father himself, so he understood that he would be burdened with a lifetime of regret if he did not see hi

    Henry's glower faded, replaced by a tender smile as he answered without hesitation, "Okay!"With that, he turned and hurried out of the villa, choosing the daughter he had with Linda—abandoning Tina and Sophie once again.Tina stood where she was, her heart breaking as her arms tightened around the urn containing Sophie's ashes.She then gently patted it, like a quiet gesture to comfort her daughter.Ever since Linda returned from abroad with her daughter, Henry had given them his absolute undivided attention.It did not matter what time it was or what he was doing—he would be there with just a phone call.And while Tina had no issue with abandonment, her heart ached for Sophie.She was so sweet and kind, only for her father to hurt her time and time again!Fortunately, this would be the last.It would never happen again!-In the VIP ward of Jadelight Hospital, Linda was coaxing her daughter Rory.Then, watching as Henry entered, she exclaimed in surprise, "What are you do

    When Henry came to his senses, he growled at Tina with an icy tone that cut to the bone, "Have you lost your mind?!"Reaching out, Henry caught Tina's wrist before she could continue, glaring viciously at her.The sight of the man—who was always so haughty—changing completely for his beloved woman left Tina's eyes red.Bitterness welled up in her heart.And she had loved him for ten years!"Yes, I have. And I should've lost it a long time ago," she snapped and suddenly slapped Henry across the face!"It's over between us, Henry."She had wanted to say that since the moment her daughter died.And now, they would simply go their separate ways!She withdrew her hand, finding her palm numb as she had put her back into it.Henry's left cheek reddened visibly in return—it was the first time in his life that he had been slapped by a woman.Glaring at Tina with viciousness that was beyond description, he chuckled coolly. "Heh."Tina did not bother arguing and turned to leave—she kn

    As Henry hung up and left without hesitation, he snorted coolly at Tina. "Go on, do your best to stop Sophie from ever calling me again."However, he had just stepped out of the doorway when he heard an audible thud behind him.He turned in reflex and saw that Tina had collapsed to the floor."I warned you," he growled. "Don't you dare behave like a drama queen around me."Tina lay on the cold hard floor, not fully unconscious.Henry's words only sent chills down her gut, stinging her very bones.He obviously thought she was faking it just to get him to stay, as he only saw her as a vile woman who did not care who she hurt to get what she wanted.He still believed that Tina had deliberately drugged him on their anniversary to separate him from Linda. With that, she ousted Linda so that Linda went adrift abroad, giving birth prematurely to Rory and suffering all the pains of the world.And now, five years later, when Linda returned to the country with Rory, she told Sophie to fe

    As the air in the room heated up, Henry felt a fire converging in his groin as he moved up, pinning Tina beneath him.That was when she groaned, waking up from her nightmare.After she opened her eyes, she stared blankly at the ceiling of her bedroom for a while—the pain in her nightmare was so overwhelming that she failed to recognize reality for a second.Nonetheless, all her senses returned to her when she felt the breeziness over her chest. It was only then that she realized that she was laying on her bed, and Henry was undressing her!Glowering as her blood boiled, she did not hesitate to push him off, snapping, "Let go of me!"However, Henry was just getting started.If anything, he craved more instead of stopping.He might not love Tina, but even he had to admit that he desired her body. Once he touched her, he would never be able to stop.The look on Tina's face darkened further.For five years and whenever he felt like tormenting her, Henry would pin her down in bed

    Linda's words were as suggestive as the man's clothes in the shopping bag, especially since the boxers were placed deliberately on top of the rest.She was clearly bragging to Tina that Henry had spent the night at her place.Moreover, as Tina turned away from the boxers, she saw Linda brushing her hair behind her neck, seemingly not realizing that she revealed the hickeys on it.So, she had done the deed with Henry last night. Unable to vent his libido with Tina, he ran straight to the other woman.They were quite vigorous, from the looks of it as well.While Tina felt slightly pricked that Linda was trying to hurt her, her gaze turned cool as she remembered her daughter.She slowly stood up, looking down loftily at Linda as she scoffed. "It's Henry's clothes, so return it to him yourself. I'm not a garbage truck."Linda was stumped—she did not expect this.Before she could react, she felt a chill emanating from behind.She turned to see that Henry was already standing there,

    Tina had loved Henry for ten years and knew his taste all too well.As she immediately recognized his kiss, her panic faded, giving way to coldness.She turned away, clearly resistant and avoiding his forceful kisses.That in turn left him furious, and he grabbed her jaw with his large hand, firmly turning her back to kiss her.It only repulsed Tina further—was he just trying to vent his rage for giving Linda grief?However, he was holding her down very firmly, and she could not escape. All she could do was clench her jaw, keeping his advances at bay and stop him from going any further.She flailed around more as well, even shoving at him, but the difference in strength between the sexes remained.She could not make him budge even as she pushed with all her strength, and he caught both her hands with just one of his, all while they moved even closer.So close, she could sense Henry's burning desire.Tina's body stiffened. She arched her back, trying to avoid him again, but the

    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

    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

    Tina was already suffering since the first day of her period and lay down as John suggested.As John tucked her under her blanket, Jimmy shot her a look.He talked himself hoarse, but she still refused to rest, insisting on staying up to keep watch over Mrs. Smith.And yet, with just a few words from John, she went to sleep without putting up a fight.Shaking his head, Jimmy left to get some rest too, letting John take the couch and turning off the lights before he left.John moved the couch between Tina and Mrs. Smith, sat down, and held Tina's hand as he gently coaxed, "It's alright. You can sleep."And with that, there were only shallow breaths aside from the equipment beeping in the hospital room.Tina, feeling relieved, quickly fell asleep.John closed his eyes as well once he made sure she was sleeping.He fell asleep quickly too, as it had been dozens of hours since he last slept.-Early next morning, Tina woke up as she was keen to find out how the investigation on

    As Linda vomited, she also coughed out the dirty rag from her mouth, and it landed on herself along with her own vomit."Argh!"But as Linda screamed hysterically, the dirty rag was shoved into her open mouth again, stopping her from yelling or calling for help.Various colors alternated over Linda's face—she could not stand such disgust and retched again.She shook her head repeatedly as well, trying to get the rag out.This time, the woman shoved the rag deep, blocking her vomit completely.Linda was left spasming in misery, almost passing out from sheer disgust, and could die right then!At that point, the pride she carried at the start was completely gone.She leveled a tearful, pleading look at the moment, her tone muffled but clearly apologetic.But it was too late—and on top of that, the damsel in distress trick worked with men but only invoked disgust in other women.And to no surprise, the woman glared at Linda hatefully as she kicked her to the floor, snorting in di

    That was when Henry, his eyes ablaze, asked Tina, "Why did you say that at the hospital earlier?"Tina closed her eyes and did not answer.The fact that Henry asked it meant he had already convinced himself that Linda was Orange, and Tina was not.Seeing that Tina was ignoring him, Henry's lips twitched, but he stayed silent.Once they reached the hospital, Tina alighted immediately.Henry did not, instead telling Andy to take him to hospital where Rory was to keep her company.-At the precinct, Linda was led to a cell.Having led a life of privilege, Linda definitely could not stand the environment in there and was frowning as soon as she was in.The air inside was stagnant, and there were many different scents in the mix, and it left her sickened as soon as it hit her nostrils.On top of that, the woman closest to her had a foul body odor, and she immediately snapped in disgust, "Get away from me. Don't you know that you stink?"Over the last two years, Linda had been faw

    Linda's eyes lit up at Henry's quiet response—he trusted her.But before she could get all smug about it, Henry continued, "If it really wasn't you, the cops will maintain your innocence once their investigation is complete."When he told Tina that they could not believe Mrs. Fuller entirely to pin the crime on Linda, he did not say it to protect Linda—Mrs. Fuller did not produce solid evidence that proved it was Linda.But he would not stop the cops getting involved, and he would not protect Linda if her guilt was proven.Linda's eyes widened in disbelief. "Henry… You don't believe me?"Henry shook his head. "I believe you. But if it really wasn't you, why would you be worried?"The cops will uncover the truth and prove it wasn't you. And when Tina understands that it wasn't you, she won't get to keep accusing you!"Linda's heart skipped a beat, holding Henry's gaze with a look of grief as she sobbed, "Why would I be worried? I didn't do it! It's not like I'm upset that the cop

    Linda wiped her tears and looked at Tina fearlessly. "Yeah! Go on, Tina! You said I'm not Orange, so where's your proof?!"As she was behind Henry, she leveled a contemptuous leer at Tina that basically goaded her to show proof if she could!She really loved it when Tina knew the truth but still could not do a thing about it!So what if Tina was Orange? Henry would never believe her from her words alone, and the only one who had proof could no longer talk.What did Linda have to fear?Still, Henry's question restored Tina's rationality.She could not remember the childhood memories she had of Henry, and now, Linda left her mother a vegetable.That meant she had no way to prove she was Orange.It was only in her frustration that she said Linda was not Orange, because Henry was stubbornly defending Linda.And since there was no proof and Henry obviously would not believe her, there was no reason to keep pressing the issue, or she would just humiliate herself.She had already
