Chapter 459

Author: Angelica1
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

    "Dream on!"Tina kept struggling, punching, and kicking to free herself from Henry's grasp.Henry gazed darkened. Worried that Tina would hurt herself if she fought him too hard, he pressed her against the car.Tina glowered, her body stiffening before struggling even more as he reached for her pants. "Don't touch me!"However, Henry pressed his own body against hers to hold her against the car—the more she struggled, the closer they were pressing against each other.Sensing that, Tina stiffened and stopped struggling, using only her hands to try pushing him away."Let her go!!!" Jimmy's eyes were wide with rage as he tried to free himself from the two security guards, but they were well-trained, while he was weakened after his accident, and he could do nothing but watch as Henry did whatever he wanted.Still, Henry's hands slowed, his heart hurting as he realized how repulsed Tina was to his touch.But that only lasted a brief moment as he quickly searched her clothes.She wa

    Tina was facing Linda, so she immediately noticed the panic and fear showing on Linda's face.She promptly turned and followed Linda's gaze, and her eyes widened as she found a very familiar figure.She stared at her without blinking, unable to believe her eyes or move up to the person, as she was worried it was her delusion.That was until the person gently called out, "Tina."The gentle call seemed to hit Tina like a truck, and it was only then that she was sure she was not hallucinating.It really was her mother, and her mother was awake!"Mom!" Tears welled up in Tina's eyes as she rushed toward Mrs. Smith, dropping to one knee in front of Mrs. Smith's wheelchair.Still, she was worried as she studied Mrs. Smith, asking, "Mom! When did you get up? Don't you feel sick in any way? Let's get you to the hospital first!"At that moment, she really could not care about anything aside from her mother's health.The rim of Mrs. Smith's eyes reddened too, but she said, "I'm alrigh

    Henry had spoken of his past with Tina, and how he had hurt Tina and Sophie.That he felt remorse and regret, that he would like to change the past and start over with Tina.But Sophie's death was a gap that would always keep them apart.The things that he had done to hurt Tina and Sophie over the years would never be undone, and there was no way it could be forgotten as if it never happened just because he regretted it.There was no chance of Henry getting back together with Tina.Still, Mrs. Smith fought back the emotions churning inside so that she stayed calm and told Tina and Jimmy, "Help me up."Tina shook her head, worried that Henry would upset Mrs. Smith and affect her health again. "No, Mom—your health is most important, and Henry Barnes just isn't worth it. Let's get you back to the hospital for now, alright?""I know what I'm doing," Mrs. Smith said.From her perspective, nothing mattered more than Henry knowing the truth.Even if there was no chance of Henry getti

    In other words, Henry had got it wrong.His eyes widened, his pupils dilating.The moment he confirmed Mrs. Smith was Orange's mother, there was no hiding the emotions blazing in his eyes, and his vision blurred."Mama Orange…" He breathed through tears, his lips twitching with the excitement of finding something once lost, a million different emotions tangling in his heart.He had always believed that Mama Orange was dead, and that he could never repay her for saving his life.And now that he saw her, alive and right in front of her, he could not calm down for a long time."Don't call me that, Henry Barnes! You have no right!" Mrs. Smith was tearful too, but her words chilled the bone and carried no sentiment.As a mother, she could pulverize Henry where he stood just remembering how much he had hurt Tina.And her words shot Henry right in the heart, his face turning pale.Mrs. Smith's voice was cold and a stark contrast from the mild, affectionate voice he remembered.His h

    In reality, Henry had fallen in love with Tina all along—even Yancy could see it and told him that he had changed.Even so, Henry kept trying to avoid facing facts, refusing to admit that he was cheating on Orange, and buried his feelings for Tina deep beneath his heart while sealing it behind wall after wall so that he did not have to deal with it.And now that he knew he had fallen in love with the real Orange all along, all his feelings for Tina broke through the walls, gushing out.At that moment, his eyes burned with passion as he looked at Tina, only to find himself looking into her icy glare.It was not the first time Tina had stared at him like that either, as it was the way she looked at him after she grew to thoroughly despise him ever since Sophie died because of him and Linda.But none of those times hurt as much as this.Even after learning that she was his Orange, but she was still glaring at him like she wanted him to drop dead, it felt like someone was flaying his

    The coldness in every syllable Henry breathed cut to the bone, leaving Linda pale in fear.She trembled in fear the instant Henry turned toward her, as his gaze made clear he could tear her apart where he was standing.He looked just like a demon who had just climbed out of hell, and it was the first time she wanted to flee from him!She reached with his trembling fingers to steer her wheelchair but paused before she moved.Instead, she clenched her fingers so hard that they went pale as she encouraged herself inwardly.She must not flee—it was not like she could anyway.She must save herself instead.And at that moment, a fantasy appeared amid her despair.It had been ten years since she showed up with Henry's pendant and took the name of Orange.And Henry doted on her for ten years, a superior being who always caved to her, doing everything she asked and trusting her unconditionally—loving her by a hundred percent.It left her lost in it, and even now, bits of their past pl

    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
