Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 454
Grinning smugly, Linda continued, "I murdered your daughter, and not only could you not do anything about that, but even your best friend has to give up his kidney for my daughter! Hurts to think about it, no? But what can you do about it? The more it hurts you, the more it pleases me!"Tina's chest was heaving, but she did not waste her breath—she kicked Linda to the floor and walked over Linda as she lay sprawled on the floor.But just as she went over, the lights turned off—the surgery was over.As the doctor stepped out, Tina grabbed his arm and demanded worriedly, "Where's the donor? Is he alright?""Don't worry—the surgery was a success. Both the donor and patient are fine."Tina sighed in relief, hearing that Jimmy was fine.That was when Henry stepped out, having heard her.Seeing that it really was her, Henry said, "Don't worry, Jimmy is—""Shut up!"However, Tina's hatred flared even though she heard that Jimmy was fine, and she did not even give Henry a chance to fi

Tina looked up, unable to hide her shock.Henry looked downward at her in turn, his tone earnest, "It's true. I won't lie to you—as soon as I was told there's another viable donor, I promptly changed donors."I don't know what you and Jimmy take exception to, but I wouldn't have asked him if I had a choice. It was never my intention to coerce him."His gaze was penetrating, as if to peer through Tina's eyes and into her mind, attempting to understand her behavior.He never wanted Jimmy's kidney from the start—if he did, he would not have told them and afforded them a choice.He continued to search for another viable donor after that and had to coerce Jimmy because circumstances compelled him to."What I said in Jimmy's room wasn't all true." He sighed as he continued, "I'd never hurt you knowingly, let alone Jimmy, who's your good friend."He had said what he said because he knew Jimmy cared about Tina, and that was his only choice if he wanted to make Jimmy sign the organ donat

All of Linda's plans had just gone to ruin!A cool voice spoke behind her just then. "Disappointed that it wasn't me?"Hearing that it was Jimmy, Linda almost blurted, "Yes! Very much so!"Fortunately, she bit her lip and stopped herself just in time, subtly taking a deep breath to stop herself from speaking her mind.As she composed herself and adjusted her expression, she noticed that Henry was watching her.And she could not arouse his suspicion, or he might realize that she was behind Jimmy's accident.Instead, she forced a smile as she turned toward Jimmy, exclaiming in a sickly sweet voice, "No way!"I'm really just relieved, and this is naturally the best outcome. Rory's going to be fine, while you and Tina won't feel bad about this…"She then leveled a pointed look at Tina and continued, "After all, I've done Tina wrong regarding Sophie. I can understand why she hates me and doesn't want Rory to grow up healthy…"Jimmy snapped, "Shut up already, two-faced bitch!"He t

"No," the officer replied. "It was an inmate named Zach Foster. The culprit was Foster's acquaintance, and Foster talked him into it."Foster confessed to it when we interrogated him, and he said he wanted revenge because he hated Mr. Jones for not donating his kidney to his daughter. He wanted to hurt Mr. Jones so that he couldn't take part in the tournament and suffer."The motive made sense, and there was a confession, so the case was closed right then.However, just hearing Zach's name mentioned gave Tina an answer—Linda had planned everything.Remembering the things Linda had spat at her back at the hospital, it was clear that Linda wanted Jimmy's kidney no matter what it took because it would make her suffer.As Tina looked at Jimmy's wounded hand after the call ended, she felt her heart tighten, her nails digging into her palm as her knuckles clenched. After calming herself for a while, she said, "Get some rest. I'll visit Mom.""Travel safe," Jimmy told her.Tina nodde

As Tina kept ranting, she kept slapping Linda like she had lost her mind.And Linda had seen Tina behave like that two years ago, when she had used Sophie's ashes to drive Tina to suicide!Did this mean that Tina's crippling depression had relapsed?Perhaps the slap had left Linda stunned and less sharp-minded, as she could not help feeling thrilled at the thought.She had heard that depression was incurable, and strong trauma would cause a relapse.And once it did, it would be worse than before.Tina had been suicidal two years ago, and even if she did not kill herself with this relapse, she might just go crazy.And if Tina was crazy, Henry would never be with her even if he fell for her.Linda forgot her pain right then and leveled a smug, venomous look at Tina as she gloated sinisterly. "So what if it was me?! What can you do?! Do you have proof?!"You're really angry, aren't you?! Because Jimmy Jones is crippled and in a lot of pain?!"He's always wanted gold, but lost a

All Linda could think about was what Henry was doing there when she saw him there with Jimmy.When did he get there, and how much of her conversation with Tina did he hear?Linda was simply unsure, so she did not speak recklessly, instead quickly adjusted her emotions.As she looked up, she made sure Henry had a clear line of sight of her cheeks—flushed and swollen from Tina's violent slaps.At the same time, tears were quickly welling up in her eyes to evoke Henry's sympathy, while she called out miserably, "Henry…"Her tears rolled out at the same time, a perfect picture of a victim that evoked sympathy.She was used to doing this and knew that it would never fail to dupe Henry.He believed he owed her and could not bear to see her sad.And to no surprise, as soon as Henry saw her shedding tears, he strode up to her.Despite being delighted, Linda made herself look even more aggrieved, as she knew that Tina still could not budge her place in Henry's heart.She just had to c

Linda kept rambling on. "I was just too hurt and said those things in the heat of the moment!"It isn't what I really think—I feel guilty hurting Jimmy, but I had no choice! You know that Rory is my life!"Rory is only seven—her life has just begun! But she was in the terminal stage and had no kidney donor and could die anytime."You know how much my heart hurts seeing her suffering from her illness."I had tried other other options, but I know Tina hates me, which was why they had deliberately denied Rory!"I begged them, only for Tina to humiliate me, making me bow to her in public! I even did it, but they still refused!"What can I do?! I can't just watch Rory die…."Henry did not take her side over her words and snapped coolly, "Even so, you don't get to hurt Jimmy! You know that he has a tournament!""Yes, I do!" Linda nodded. "But if I didn't do it, would you have approached him?! You can be considerate about his dreams, but not me!"I know I'm selfish, ignoring national

Henry's tone made it clear he was not discussing the matter—he had already made his decision.But he had no right deciding for Tina!"Dream on!" Tina glowered sinisterly and did not hesitate to shake off his hand as if he was filth.However, Henry was holding her with a vice-like grip, and she could not free herself even with all her strength."Let go of Tina!" Jimmy bellowed, rushing out of the car and grabbing Henry's wrist with his good hand to pull him away. "Are you crazy?! Who do you think you are, demanding that she give it to you just because you say so?!"However, Jimmy never stood a chance against Henry in the first place, and he was exhausted after the accident—he did not even have the strength to make Henry budge.At that moment, he utterly regretted calling Henry over.There was no saving that man!Seeing that Henry was not letting go, he stopped holding back and raised a knuckle to punch his face.However, Henry pulled Tina along as he sidestepped Jimmy before pi

Henry stubbornly pressed, "Answer me. Did you say yes?"Tina was tired from punching and kicking and was left panting with her back against the door.There was the faint scent of blood in the air, as she ruptured the scalpel wounds she had left on him before.But Henry did not care and kept asking, "Answer me, Tina.""Yes!" Tina snapped icily. "Listen close and listen well—we're never getting back together, because I'll go out with anyone but you! Now get out of my house!"She really did not want to entertain his nutcase tendencies, but he was clearly not going to give up.And she was already exhausted from hitting him.But even if she was unsure that she would end up with John, she was dead sure that she would not get back together with Henry, not when he had indirectly murdered Sophie!And her cold glare left Henry's heart breaking, as it did everytime she looked at him that way after he found out he was Orange.How could his Orange look at him like that?"No, you can't get

Tina was clearly in a bad mood because Henry showed up at the graveyard.Understanding as ever, John never asked her again when he took her home.However, she did not get out of his car right away and stared at John as if she had plenty to say.She knew that he was good to her, but she did not have the courage to love again after how tragically things ended with Henry.It really was once bitten twice shy, what with all the sacrifices she made."Don't worry about it. I was just too impatient—I'll wait as long as you need," John told her.He had already waited for so long anyway."John…" Tina sighed—the nicer he was to her, the more it hurt her.John shook his head and undid her seatbelt. "Just get some rest. Don't worry about it."Tina gave in and got out, and he went upstairs with her, watching her shut the door before leaving.Inside, Tina's mind was a mess as she leaned against the door.She never thought of starting a relationship over the last two years, and she was unsu

Sophie did not need such fatherly love given out of charity!However, Henry did not take offense with Tina's cool attitude and put the gifts he brought in front of Sophie's grave. "I bought these for Sophie.""She doesn't need them," Tina snapped as she threw everything Henry brought away. "Give it off to your dear Rory—don't disgust Sophie."Henry pursed his lips as everything he picked was strewn all over the place.He knew that Tina despised Rory and did his best to avoid being seen with Rory but ran into Tina tonight anyway.And John was firmly on Tina's side. "You don't have to worry about Sophie, Mr. Barnes—I'll buy anything she likes.""Don't bother. Sophie's my daughter." Henry scowled, as John was ready to be Sophie's stepfather."So you're aware of that fact?" John scoffed, barely hiding his sarcasm. "Anyone who didn't know better would think that Rory is really your daughter!"He certainly found out how much Sophie had suffered because of Rory after what happened at

Once she saw how much the assistant was bringing, Rory's eyes lit up as she rushed over, exclaiming in delight, "Are these all for me, Daddy? I love them! Thank you! You're the best!"She was really happy.Just as she thought, she held first place in Henry's heart—she had not even picked anything, and he had already picked so many expensive, pretty gifts.She could already imagine the envious looks on her classmates' faces when she showed them.That was when Henry said, "These are for Sophie. Pick anything else—anything you like."He had already told Rory before they entered the toy shop—she could pick whatever she liked, and he would buy it for her, but whatever he picked was for Sophie.He really had no idea what else he could do for Sophie aside from this.Over the last two years, he bought a ton of stuff—some were kept in the villa, while the others were taken to Sophie's grave.He owed Sophie so much in life that he had even less idea what he could do to make things right

However, Rory had no idea what she should say to stop Henry from checking the cameras and could not respond in any other way aside from panic."Yes, Mr. Barnes…" The store owner recognized Henry since it was not his first time there and called for an assistant to get the security footage.However, the assistant appeared exasperated when she was told which area it was.Glancing at the owner and noticing Henry's menacing glare, she braced herself as she said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes… Those cameras were broken two days ago."While Henry frowned at those words, John did not expect such an outcome either. But without the security footage, more words were pointless, so he merely shot Rory a cool glare before taking Tina's hand and strode out.Henry glared at their linked hands, the air turning cold around him as the assistant and the owner stood nearby in quiet fearful silence.On the other hand, Rory was clearly relieved when told that there was no footage—she almost had a heart at

Staying patient, Henry said, "I had that princess gown tailor made for Sophie back then, but Rory mistakenly thought it was meant for her and wore it. The one I brought to Maple Park was a different one—I had the tailor make another, and it wasn't the one Rory had worn."He explained all that, hoping to set the record straight, though his tone soon changed. "Rory's just a child, Tina. No matter how upset you are, you shouldn't lay a finger on her."John's visage turned cold. "Before you accuse Tina, why don't you ask Rory what she said that Tina had to go that far?"Henry turned toward Tina right then—was it not because of the doll?Tina had already despised Rory because of Sophie's gown, and he understood that Tina would not like Rory because of Linda.But John was saying that there was a different story?Henry looked downward at Rory and asked, "What did you say?"As Rory knew Henry had always believed that she was an honest child, Rory leveled him a look of grief. "I didn't s

Rory glowered.Tina dared to hit her?! She would show Tina!Just like whenever Sophie had upset her when she was still alive, Rory always had a way to make Henry hate Sophie even more!With that in mind, she burst into tears. "Argh!!! Daddy…"She was so loud that Henry heard her all the way at the cashier, and his face dropped as he turned toward her call.Still, his eyes lit up when she saw Tina.However, he soon saw John standing so close beside Tina that their shoulders were touching, and his eyes narrowed coldly, his stomach squirming uneasily.That was not the proper social distance between men and women, but Tina was clearly not uncomfortable.That could only mean that she could accept John being so close.And Henry strode toward them before he knew it, ready to split them up."Daddy…"Once he was near enough, Rory turned and threw herself into his arms, as she was the first to notice his arrival.As she wrapped her arms around his waist, she looked up to show him her

Tina's expression darkened upon seeing Rory, whom she despised so much. "Give it back!" she snapped coolly, holding out her hand.Rory promptly hid the doll behind herself, her eyes gleeful as she giggled, "Why should I? You didn't pay for it. I'll get Daddy to pay for it right now! You know that my daddy will always give me anything I want. Who do you think you are, trying to take my stuff?"She even imitated Linda's mannerisms just to upset Tina, putting emphasis on 'my daddy' just to rub it into her face.It was something she had always prided herself with.So what if Sophie had Henry's blood? She would always be more important to Henry than Sophie.Sophie would never win against her!That was when John just bought the drinks and saw Rory snatching the doll from Tina outside the toy shop, even spouting those nonsensical words.He strode up, growling darkly, "Didn't your mother teach you about 'first come, first served'? Give it back!"He really would not have argued with a

And seeing how sad Tina was, John felt doubt—should he really tell Tina that he had seen a girl that really resembled Sophie abroad?Even if he was just driving past the young girl, he was very sure that the girl's face was identical with Sophie's from photos two years ago, albeit with a larger face and without that silly sweet smile she used to have.She was in another car, but her gaze was colder than what one would expect of a child around seven.After that encounter, John sent everyone he had to look but failed to find the girl again.But he found nothing, so John thought it inappropriate to tell Tina recklessly.With hope came disappointment, and with disappointment came more pain.He could just keep looking on his own and then tell Tina later.And caught in her own misery, Tina never noticed the twitch in John's eyes.Even after the movie was over and she calmed down, her eyes were still red.John held her hand and led her outside, and he noticed that her hands were cold
