Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 476
Rory leveled a clingy smile at Henry and was sweet toward him because her mother might get upset if he left."Okay." Henry nodded. Rory's cheeks were very pale as she just had her surgery, and he had trouble saying no to her when she was in that condition.He was disappointed in Linda, but he earnestly liked Rory and did not want to involve children in a feud between adults.As such, even if he meant to destroy Linda, he told the care worker and every medical staff on the floor to keep Rory in the dark.With that in mind, he sat down beside Rory and picked up her storybook, going along even though she had asked him to read the longest story in it.It was a picture of bliss as he read the story in his dulcet tone, while Rory continued to stare at him worshipfully.Still, it all came to a stop when Linda showed up.She had used up most of her money and could not hire help to clear her name. Hence, worried that there would be another lynch mob incident like at the mall, she kept

Linda thought that Henry would distance himself from Rory as well after she was exposed and was surprised that Rory placed much higher in Henry's heart than she imagined.Even if he despised her now, he could not bear to see Rory hurt at all.She still had a chance!With that in mind, she sent away Rory's care worker—since Henry hired that woman, she might rat her out.And once the care worker was gone, Linda turned to level a tender gaze at Rory, who cringed as if by instinct.She yearned for her mother's tenderness but was also afraid of it.After all, different degrees of hurt would come whenever her mother gave her that look.Nonetheless, Linda gave Rory a peck on the cheek as she whispered into her ear, instructing her with the most gentle tone.When she finished, she asked, "Do you remember everything I said?""Yes, Mommy," Rory replied, nodding tamely.Like she always did, she repeated everything Linda said, word for word.Linda gave Rory another peck on the cheek as

The floor was a complete mess, with a janitor and the care worker cleaning it up together.As soon as Rory saw Henry, she promptly spread her arms, calling out miserably and raspily, "Daddy…"Henry strode up, the pain in his eyes clear as he saw the bruises on her face and hands—even the braids he tied for her this morning were now a lopsided mess."What happened?" Henry sat by Rory's bed and held her, his large hand gently patting her back to comfort her while turning sharply toward Rory's care worker.Before Rory's care worker could speak, Linda heard him and hastily picked up a jacket as she came out, sniffling, "I'm sorry, Henry—I brought this upon Rory. It's all my fault for not protecting Rory… I didn't think that they'd follow me to Rory's room."She really was in worse shape than Rory too, what with her hair disheveled, egg yolk and scraps of food still clinging disgustingly on her hair, and the scratch marks visible all over her face, neck, and hands.Her clothes were to

And the instant Henry nodded, Linda, who sat in a corner and kept her head down, looked utterly gleeful.Rory was really useful!Did Tina think she had won?Tina's daughter was dead, and it was Linda's daughter who had taken her place!Even if Tina was now more important to Henry, it was not over between her and Henry as long as her daughter pulled her weight."Thanks, Daddy! I love you!" And hearing that Henry was giving in, she finally stopped crying and gave him a peck on the cheek.Her cheeks were still covered in tears, but Henry did not avoid her despite his clean freak tendencies."Oh, Rory!" Linda pretended to stop her, quickly pulling out a tissue and seizing the moment to initiate physical contact with Henry.However, she had not even reached Henry when he turned away, pulling out some wet wipes nearby to clear Rory's tears from his face.As he did, he shot Linda a cool look.He never said outright that he was rejecting her, but his body language and the look in h

Mrs. Smith was naturally indignant—Linda had only suffered a couple of days of online backlash for what she had done to Jimmy, barely a sliver of what she had put Jimmy and Tina through!However, Tina pulled her phone from her grasp. "Mom, your concern right now is to get better. Don't worry about it—just rest."Since she could not enjoy more of Linda's suffering, Mrs. Smith quickly fell asleep, since she was not interested in celebrity gossip.And once she did, Tina's eyes turned cool.She knew she could not count on Henry and felt indignation for Jimmy and her mother, seeing how quickly he had spared Linda.The sight of him kneeling before Mrs. Smith was all the more laughable now.Still, she did not bother herself with Henry and thought of Zach Foster instead.After Zach scapegoated himself for Linda, there was no way he could have brought the evidence with him into jail.And John had already bought the house Zach retained after he was freed the first time, having sent his p
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 481
Tina was not about to let Linda win, as she knew that Linda just wanted to piss her off.She remained impassive as she watched Linda and waited until Linda smiled smugly to slap her repeatedly until her lips bled."Mess with me again, and there'll be another beating waiting."With that, she flung Linda on the ground and drove off.Even as she drove, she had to tell herself she must not get upset because of Henry.But she could not help thinking about the video she had watched—how gentle Henry was with Rory, and there was no faking that loving gaze.And that intimacy with Rory was what Sophie had wanted the most in life.Even if Henry now knew that Linda was not Orange, he still treasured Rory.Tina did not care how Henry felt about Linda, but she could not ignore how Henry felt about Rory.Everything Rory had was rightfully Sophie's.Driving back to the hospital, Tina took a moment to compose herself, fighting back her grief, and only alighted when she looked normal.Just as

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

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

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
