Chapter 498

Author: Angelica1
Henry paused, leveling his dark gaze at Tina's tearful gaze.

His lips twitched inches away from hers, and he eventually rasped, "If I stop, will you give me a second chance?"

That was what he wanted the most—what he dreamed of.

Even if she could not forgive him immediately, she just had to give him a chance to start over, and he would do all he could to love her and make amends.

"Never!" Tina yelled right then. "Not on your life!"

She yelled before she knew it, spurred by her swelling hatred.

Her rationality told her she could afford to lie—to keep him in line, so that he would let her go.

However, her rationality had no control as soon as she heard him.

And words spoken without hesitation hurt the most, as they reflected one's most earnest thoughts.

How could Henry accept the realization that Tina really hated him so much that she refused to even give him another chance?

She used to obsess over him so much, but now she refused to let him into her heart at all?

    However, it did not matter how hard Tina fought—Henry was pushing through, bit by bit.Tina really panicked as he scooped her up in his arms, forcing her to wrap her arms around him."Henry Barnes! Stop!!!" She eventually caved and burst into tears of fear.She really could not bring herself to beg, but her tears gushed even as fear overcame her.Henry's eyes were bloodshot, but sanity returned as he saw Tina's tears, and he paused.A war ensued with him, lasting a few seconds but feeling like centuries.A voice in his head told him to take Tina, so that she was his again and they would have another child that bound them.And then he could have a chance to start over with Tina.However, another voice also repeatedly asked him how he could bear to hurt Tina, when she was already this miserable?It reminded him that she was Orange, the girl he had sworn to protect since he was ten.Sweat started raining as Henry fought himself for self-control, his gaze still fixed on Tina.On

    All color drained from Tina's face as their eyes met, and she saw the lust still flaring in Henry's eyes.Henry had almost taken her in the bedroom, and she was not getting away this time if he got her again.And that must not happen again!Like a startled bird, she was instinctively afraid of just being in the same room with him now."Stay away!" she cried even as her eyes widened in fear, and she bolted outside."Tina!" Henry called out.He had calmed down slightly after the cold bath and was going to the fridge to get some ice to keep his temperature down when he saw Tina panicking.She did not even wait to get her shoes to run away, so he did not hesitate to give chase.But he was in no state to leave and watched as Tina ran out on her bare feet, shutting the door in his face.He was left standing there, his hands against the doorframe.His wounds had swollen from his cold bath as he remembered Tina's terrified reaction.He had really left her terrified, and he regretted

    As Henry started drinking, Andy called, "Mr. Barnes? Mr. Levine has taken Ms. Smith home."Just hearing that left Henry clenching his fingers around his glass.Under such circumstances, Tina would ask for John's help instead of Jimmy?! Had that man grown in her heart so much now?!"Be careful. You're going to bleed again," Yancy quickly warned him, watching as the bandages were turning red.However, Henry did not seem to feel it—physical pain was barely a fraction of the pain in his heart.After Yancy rebandaged Henry's hand again, he told Henry, "Get some rest. I'm going now."Once he was gone, Henry remained on the couch in Tina's apartment, his nerves keeping him from getting any rest.He would be thinking about what he had done to Tina and how traumatized she was one moment, while he would be thinking about Andy telling him that Tina had asked for John's help the next…Putting on a suit, he ran out and took a cab to John's apartment.-After Tina ran out of her apartment

    Nevertheless, John's gaze was so warm that Tina stopped struggling. Her feet were stiff from the cold, but warmth slowly returned to her toes.She was not as stiff as her body warmed up, and it was only then that John released her feet and draped his coat over her legs to keep her warm.When everything was done, John started the car while saying, "Stay at my house tonight. I'll sleep on the couch."She was clearly in bad shape, and he would be worried if she stayed at a hotel.Tina had intended for John to take her to Jimmy's home, but she decided against worrying Jimmy now that she had calmed down.If Jimmy were to find out that Henry had barged into her house and almost forced himself on her, Jimmy would go after Henry—especially now that he had no qualms after losing his chance to compete.She was the reason Jimmy got hurt, and she did not want to pile on that.Glancing at John's cheek, she said softly, "Okay."She knew at the bottom of her heart that John would not hurt h

    John then told Tina, "You should take a bath."Just as the tub was filled, he picked up a bottle of essential oil that she really liked from the cupboard.It was still boxed, but he quickly opened it and used a few drops.As for Tina, she took off the clothes that John bought on the way here to be washed and dried.When she reached the bathroom door, she found that John had prepared everything meticulously.He then pointed. "The towels and bathrobes are all clean."They were powder blue—clearly meant for her too.John watched as she headed inside for her bath before going off to brew some floral tea for Tina to soothe her nerves.While he did, he got a call from security that someone was waiting downstairs.He went over to the window and looked downstairs, his gaze darkening when he saw Henry and remembered the state he found Tina in."I'm going downstairs to get something," he told her from outside the bathroom."Okay!"Hearing her answer, John headed downstairs.Seeing h

    "It doesn't hurt. Really," John teased, seeing the grim look on Tina's face.Annoyed, Tina shot him a glare and pressed on the cotton bud.John gasped, "Oof…"Tina promptly withdrew her hand but still scoffed. "I thought you said it didn't hurt!""My bad!" John promptly apologized—he simply could not be harsh on her.Still, Tina became even gentler then as she worked meticulously.At the same time, Tina's phone kept jingling with text messages, all of which were from Henry, who kept apologizing.However, she only picked up her phone after disinfecting John's face and did not read a single text as she blocked Henry.John then led her to the main bedroom, where the sheets were already changed.He really was attentive as ever.Nonetheless, Tina was really spent. "Goodnight.""Goodnight," John replied and lit some scented candles to help her sleep, while Tina lay under her warm sheets.Outside, the rain was getting heavier.She thought she would stay wide awake after the night

    "I need some rest, Rory," he said, his tone a little cool. "I'll drop by later to visit. Just go home and get some rest."It was meant as a warning to Linda as well, to discourage her from using Rory to bridge the distance between them ever again."Daddy…"However, it was the first time Henry was being that cold toward Rory. Before he could reach her, Andy stopped her, "Please, Rory—Mr. Barnes is really feeling ill and needs rest. If you really care, you should listen instead of bothering him further."Rory pursed her lips as she stood at the doorway, her tears welling up in her eyes as she leveled a doleful look at Henry.However, as Henry closed his eyes and she could not get anything from him, she left, looking back every other step.She was very much panicking—was Henry really angry at her this time?And if Henry did not love her, then Linda would not either.What could she do at that point?Nonetheless, she got downstairs and got into a car parked outside.And seeing h

    Rory was crouching at a corner of the office building, her clothes soaked through and her tiny form curled up.She was trembling in the cold as she looked at Henry."Rory!" Henry's eyes widened and he hurried over, catching some of the rain as his bodyguard could not keep up with him.Still, Henry could not care less as he rushed to Rory's side, taking off his suit jacket and wrapping it around Rory, and then scooped her stiff little body up in his arms.As he did, he felt her hands too—they were as cold as ice, leaving his heart tightening.Her large eyes were filled with tears, and she was not behaving like before.After all, whenever Henry picked her up, she would always hug his neck, calling him 'Daddy' sweetly as she leaned her cheeks on his chest.In the winter rain, the chilling winds cut to the bone.Even though Henry had realized that something was wrong with Rory, he did not ask her immediately, but instead strode into the building with her in his arms and took the el

    Rory asked, "Daddy? Is that my birthday present?"At the same time, she knew very well that if Henry saw what that straw doll really was, he would be absolutely furious.That was why he must not let him see at any cost.However, Henry was still glowering as he threw the gift aside, taking a step forward and glaring at her menacingly. "Show it to me!""Daddy…"More tears gushed from Rory's eyes, as if Henry terrified her.And yet, she gingerly reached out, tugging on the hem of Henry's shirt, chirping sweetly, "Daddy, you're scaring me. Don't look at me like that."At that moment, she was once again the Rory that Henry was so familiar with.Mature and obedient.Kind and innocent.Guileless and harmless.But Henry could not forget about the Rory he saw just now.And seeing that she kept trying to manipulate him, he lost all patience and pushed her aside, while reaching for the blanket with his other hand."Daddy! Don't look!"Rory cried as she lunged over in a panic to stop

    As Henry opened the door, he was left staring in shock as Rory knelt before her own bed, her young, dainty face contorted with sinister malice that did not suit her age.Just seeing that left Henry wondering if this was still the sweet, disciplined Rory whom he knew? He just could not connect that other Rory with the one he was looking at now.As she held a tiny straw doll in one hand and a long needle in the other, cursing Sophie's name while stabbing the needle repeatedly into the straw doll, it was clear that the straw doll was meant to represent Sophie.A fire flared inside Henry's mind—Sophie's death had always been an agony to him, and he owed her plenty and wanted nothing less than to give her a better afterlife.More than that, he yearned for the day that Tina forgave him, and then they could have another child.With that, Sophie could reincarnate and become their daughter once more, so he would have a chance to make amends.When he yearned for those things so much, how

    After Henry found out that Tina was the real Orange, watching the footage of Sophie only made him regret even more.He really wanted to go back to seven years ago and beat his past self up violently.Even as he looked tearfully at Sophie—the child of her and Orange's love, so cute and pretty on the screen—he thought she should have grown up pampered as the happiest princess.And yet, he had scorned her even before she was born and treated her with utter insignificance after she was born.Just thinking about how she looked at him, yearning for her fatherly affection, left his heart feeling like it was being stabbed a thousand times over."I'm so sorry, Sophie! Can you come back to me?" he asked, gently brushing his finger against her photo on the gravestone.However, there was no answer to his question, and he felt like he was stabbed again as he kept watching the video alone in the cold winter night.When the video was finished, his tears covered his face.The more Sophie loved

    Rory was endlessly confident that she mattered most in her daddy's heart.However, Henry usually arrived very early on her birthdays. When he did not show up by eight, Rory called his number, but no one answered.Still, she was afraid to keep calling and instead texted him.[Daddy, when are you coming?]Once again, there was no answer—he did not pick up as she tried to call later too, and nor did he show up as noon arrived.Even as she felt disheartened, she peered at Linda with the corner of her eye.Linda had gone the extra mile to look pretty, as she had promised to persuade Henry so that they could celebrate her birthday together.She quickly tried to call Henry as there was no sign of him, and they continued to wait all the way to the evening.Meanwhile, Linda had already received the message that Henry had gone to Sophie's grave first thing in the morning and never left since.Furious, she steered her wheelchair and rammed into Rory, knocking her to the floor, all whil

    Linda told Rory that Sophie was Henry's real daughter.Because they were connected by blood, if they spent more time with each other and bonded, Rory would become unimportant because she was not really Henry's daughter.There was no way Rory would let Sophie take her daddy away, so she agreed to let Linda make her sick.Then, Linda waited until Henry was on the way to the amusement park before calling him, to make sure Henry would walk out on Sophie.After that, Linda told her that Sophie had stupidly waited for half a day at the amusement park and died.Sophie was really stupid—she knew that Henry did not love her, but she still thought she could steal Henry away from Rory on her birthday!However, because Sophie died, Henry never took her to the amusement park last year for her, even though he had promised to do it every year.Still, seeing that Henry was silent, she promptly played the mature daughter and said, "It's alright, Daddy—I was just asking. It's okay if you just spe

    Henry nodded. "Good."After Andy left and Yancy arrived, Rory already changed into fresh clothes, hugging Henry's arm as she sat beside him on the couch, leaning on him with an utterly clingy look.Yancy went over and examined her before concluding, "She's lucky you found her in time and didn't catch a cold. But you have to be more careful—she's still recovering and wouldn't survive an infection."And with those instructions, Yancy left.The rim of her eyes reddened, Rory knew she was in the wrong and apologized, "I'm sorry, Daddy. I should have behaved instead of making you worry. It won't happen again.""As long as you understand. Don't do something like that ever again," Henry rebuked her, but his tone was gentle.Rory nodded repeatedly and threw herself into his arms As Henry still had work to do, he was going to ask Andy to take her home, but she refused. "It's been two weeks, Daddy. I'll stay with you a little longer. I promise to stay in a corner and read my books withou
