However…"I'm no longer interested," Tina said, pressing her hand on his chest to push him away."Heh."Henry chuckled raspily. "Did you think I'm that easy? That you could put the moves on me and push me away whenever you like, hmm?"His large hand held her waist as he nibbled her earlobe, leaving her with a numbing tingle as it was Tina's most sensitive spot.She cringed into herself and felt that he was going to force herself on her.However, with Linda not around, all Tina wanted was for Henry to stay well away from her."Grandma's waiting for me!""She said she's tired after her twenty-hour flight." Henry snorted, cutting her off again. "She should be sleeping by now, so don't bother her."In fact, as Madam Barnes' memories had regressed to five years ago, she would be once again hoping that he would hook up with Linda, completely unaware that they had done it countless times in the memories she lost.Comment by _ Lunaelle: Linda or Tina?"You're not getting away from m

Henry's gaze darkened, his breathing turning labored.Still, he pressed a hand over her lips to silence her while growling over the phone impatiently, "What is it?"As he was not leaving immediately like when Linda had called him before, Tina looked into his eyes dolefully with her own, just as she did countless times before.When she was so tame and tempting, it was a look that Henry could not resist.He frowned, his breathing turning heavy, and suddenly hung up, having no patience to wait another few seconds for Linda to speak.Throwing his phone carelessly aside, he leaned down to kiss Tina viciously again.But as soon as he did, his phone rang again.This time, he ignored it.It stopped ringing eventually but quickly rang again after.By the third time that happened, Tina reached out with her free hand.However, Henry grabbed her hand before she could turn it off, still panting as he took his phone from her and answered it.This time, he had yet to say a word when Linda

Amanda, Nora Spencer's assistant, was on hand to receive the trio when they arrived.She glanced at their work badges and finally turned to Tina, studying her for a moment before saying, "So, you're Tina Smith. Ms. Spencer thinks very highly of you.""Thank you." Tina nodded humbly. "I'll do my best not to let her down."Amanda's scowl remained, and she even snorted. "That can wait until you pass the internship."That was when Linda suddenly said, "You're a coffee person, right? Here, Henry told me to give everyone some. I can get you more if you like it."As she spoke, she took out an exquisitely decorated coffee tin.Amanda had actually missed the part where Linda mentioned Henry, but her eyes lit up when she saw the label.As a coffee lover, she certainly recognized the Barnes Special Brew that even money could not buy, which she had been yearning to have a taste for a while.She had naturally heard that one of the interns was in a relationship with Henry but dismissed it as

Linda followed Tina inside, her smile fading instantly as she glared at Tina viciously.Last night, she had clearly heard Henry's labored breathing—he wanted it and was almost getting it.But in the end, she managed to stop him from getting it on with Tina!Since he would be full off pent-up libido, the simplest teasing should turn them into wolves.That was why she put on her most alluring sleeping gown.Once Henry came with the doctor, who left after making sure that Rory was fine, she pretended to be busy with Rory and accidentally loosened her sash, baring most of her skin before Henry.She was proud of her body—no man could resist it, and Henry should have been pent-up on top of that.However, Henry did not even look as he kept his eyes on Rory, quietly telling her, "Don't catch a cold."Linda had no idea why Henry would not touch her even though he loved her so much.And then there was Tina, who always sent Linda's jealousy flaring.As such, once they were alone, Linda

With those words, Tina put away the magazine, ignoring Linda as she opened the door and left.Linda was left gritting her teeth.Trying to steal Henry from her?! Dream on!Still, she quickly composed herself and headed out with a smile.Glancing at Tina as she used the printer, Linda suddenly asked out loud, "Everyone! Why don't we have dinner together tonight?"Someone asked jokingly, "Are you buying?"Linda smiled and nodded. "Yes, Henry just called, saying that he's inviting everyone to Orange Tower tonight to celebrate my new job. Is everyone here able to make it?""Yes, yes, of course!""We're talking about Orange Tower! I'll go even if hell rains down upon me! The food is extraordinary, and we can have a taste thanks to Linda!"It was both a joke and a statement of fact—Orange Tower was the most famous restaurant in Jadelight and a subsidiary of Barnes Group.Only the rich and powerful got to go there."It's really nothing. Just make sure to order anything you like." L

However, Henry did not distance himself and was clearly waiting for Linda to explain herself.Tina was left smirking—so that was the difference between the loved and unloved.Linda had already admitted to winning by unsavory means, something which Henry despised, but he was still willing to let her defend himself.What about Tina? Linda just needed to say the word, and Henry would find her guilty even without proof.Scenes of the past flashed in Tina's mind just then.If she did not explain herself, she was confessing.If she did, it was sophistry.If she snapped, she was just being crazy.As grief and bitterness welled up within her, Tina's nose turned runny, but it all only came to a cool chuckle. "Heh."Henry heard it and looked up at her, narrowing his eyes dangerously.Tina's smile turned cool, as the answer was obvious—she had lost.She did not linger and returned to Tidal Court.She never hoped for Henry to see Linda's true face with this much anyway, let alone get
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 58
Releasing Henry's arm just then, Linda walked up to her seat, picking up her glass and pouring it full. "Sorry I have to leave early, but let's have a toast!"Tina did not move, so Linda stared pointedly at her.As everyone else followed suit, Tina had no choice but to take a half-hearted sip.She was already tipsy after drinking a little earlier.On the other hand, as Linda chugged her drink, she wobbled as she put her glass down, falling unsteadily into Henry's arms.Rubbing her temples as if sick, her gaze was unfocused as she purred, "I'm feeling faint… Let's go home, Henry."That last part was clearly to tell everyone how intimated they were."Yeah." Henry nodded, putting a hand around her waist and leading her out of Tidal Court.But as he turned, his gaze darkened as he glanced at Tina again, who kept her head down and never looked at him.-Everyone was clearly relieved about Henry's departure nonetheless—even if they were keen to meet a big-shot like him, the formles

However, Henry stayed outside and growled, "Take her home."With that, he shut the door.Linda had her eyes closed, ready for Henry to do anything he liked to her when he heard the door shut.Her eyes were suddenly wide open, her drunkenness all gone.She sat up, staring in disbelief at the empty backseat for a moment before opening the door and grabbing Henry's wrist. Looking at him with dewy eyes, she asked meekly, "Where are you going, Henry? Aren't you taking me home?"Henry stared at her coolly with a look that seemed to stop her breath, leaving her unable to purr any further.She knew him too well and naturally knew that he was furious.She thought that Henry's willingness to show up with her at Tidal Court meant that he loved her so much he would abandon his principles for her.This was the first time she had done something like that anyway, and it was insignificant compared to his life.But she was wrong, and it left her panicking—Henry's love was the only thing she

Henry had not fallen asleep for long when Jimmy rudely shook him awake.He was a light sleeper, and as he jolted awake right away and opened his eyes, he leveled a clearly hostile glare at Jimmy.Jimmy met his glare unflinching, even snapping coolly, "My godmother wants to see you."Henry's hostility faded right away at those words.Jimmy's godmother was obviously Tina's mother, and for some reason, she was asking to see him.Henry promptly got up, but he moved too quickly and his head started spinning.He leaned against his bed on one hand, pushing himself up slowly.He headed to the washroom first, cleaning up at top speed before putting on a suit and heading to the opposite room."Mrs. Smith."As he entered, he greeted Tina's mother humbly, without poising himself with superiority.Mrs. Smith knew she should not feel agitated when her surgery was so recent.In fact, she took her time composing herself before Henry came over and was much calmer when she saw him this time.

Yancy had been sleeping in his office too and never left the hospital, leaving express instructions for the nurses to call him as soon as Mrs. Smith woke up.As he hurried over, he quickly examined Mrs. Smith, while Tina stood by her bed looking utterly worried.When Yancy was finally done, Tina quickly asked, "How's my mother?""She's cleared the risk period—she's stable now." Yancy nodded at her, utterly relieved as well.As they spoke, Mrs. Fuller—who was standing behind them—quietly hung up the call on her phone.Linda was listening on the other end.She too had gone the entire night without sleeping after leaving the hospital yesterday, albeit waiting for Mrs. Smith to die from the surgery.She really wondered how much Tina would suffer from it, and if she would lose her mind altogether.What she did not expect was for Mrs. Smith to be so lucky to survive, and she panicked as soon as she heard the surgery was a success.Nothing about everything that had happened yesterday
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 408
Hearing that the surgery was a success, Tina burst into tears of joy. "Thank you so much!"An exhausted Yancy told Tina that Mrs. Smith would be out in another ten minutes, and she had nothing to worry about.Then, he returned inside as well to get changed.As the doors of the operating room closed, she turned and threw herself into Jimmy's arms. "Oh, Jimmy! Mom's alright now!"She was completely unaware that it was Henry, who had somehow arrived outside the operating room and was standing right beside her.Henry knew that she got the wrong person, but he could not resist wrapping his arms around her.However, the embrace was all too brief as Tina realized almost instantly that she was hugging Henry.Having loved him for so many years, she was all too familiar with his scent and did not hesitate to push him away just as he was just about to hold her in turn.However, he had just donated a lot of blood and had barely made it there to wait with Tina.Utterly frail, he staggered

However, Henry did not hesitate to hang up on Linda while grasping and gently squeezing Tina's cold, trembling hand."I won't leave until your mother's surgery is over. I'll do all I can to make sure she's safe."There was no changing Sophie's death, and there was nothing he could do about that.But he would do what he could for Mrs. Smith.And before Tina could speak, Henry released her hand and hurried away with the nurse.His phone rang three times before he was gone from his sight.They were all calls from Linda, but Henry did not hesitate to hang up on her.It was the first time Henry had chosen Tina instead of Linda when Tina needed him.Nonetheless, Jimmy put a hand around Tina's shoulder then. "I just got off the phone with two of my friends. They're coming as we speak."Don't take it to heart, Tina. Henry Barnes owes you that much."He did not want Tina to feel burdened by Henry's help, when she hated that man to the bone.Even if what he did would not change Tina's

"The patient needs multiple emergency transfusions, and our blood bank supply won't last for long."Yancy was really anxious—the surgery was difficult in the first place, and he certainly did not anticipate a nasty surprise like this halfway.And if they did not get enough blood in time, Mrs. Smith was really going to die.Even if Yancy did not say that out loud, Tina could read that much from the look on his face.Her blood grew cold as if she fell into an icy abyss, and she could not stop herself from trembling.It was as if she had returned to the day when Sophie died.Dr. Ferguson had stepped out halfway during the surgery just to tell her that the kidney transplant could not be performed as the kidney had been taken away.There was nothing he could do, and he told her to be prepared for the worst.But there was no way Tina could give up on Sophie—grabbing Dr. Ferguson's arm, Tina begged him not to give up and said that she would come up with something.As she stood outsid

As Tina trusted Jimmy, she did not keep her feelings bottled up and leaned on his shoulder as she sobbed softly, "Jimmy, I'm really scared… It's just like what happened to Sophie…""No." Jimmy promptly stopped her. "Your mother's definitely going to be fine."As Henry heard the mention of Sophie while standing nearby, his heart clenched, pain showing in his eyes.Nonetheless, it was soon over ten hours since the surgery started, and it was still going on.Even as night arrived, the trio remained outside the operating room.They did not have an appetite in the afternoon, but Henry ordered some food as evening arrived.Tina really still did not feel like eating.Henry knew that reasoning would not work on her. And while he could just force her to eat, he could not bear to do it either.He turned to give Jimmy a look.Although Jimmy was on Tina's side and hated Henry, he had to cooperate for Tina's sake.He walked up, took a lunchbox, and sat beside Tina as he opened it.

The day Sophie died two years ago was a barb stuck deep in Tina's heart, and it hurt at the slightest touch.-Soon, Mrs. Fuller returned in a hurry after getting a call and was told that Mrs. Smith was in trouble.Her face was covered in sweat as she ran headlong into Linda, and she glanced at Linda out of the corner of her eye while Linda watched her.Still, she soon hurried to Tina, immediately tugging on Tina's arm as she cried and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Smith. It's all my fault—I shouldn't have run off when I was supposed to be on duty."I'm so sorry… I didn't think that this would happen to your mother in such a short span of time."However, Tina really could not even be bothered to respond and frowned at her sobs.Henry promptly strode up and snapped coolly, "Shut up."He was so intimidating that Mrs. Fuller promptly turned silent.Not daring to keep crying, she said softly, "I'll be here, Ms. Smith. Just call me if anything comes up."Still looking guilty, she

Tina did not even look at Henry as she shoved him off and hurried to Andy, demanding, "Where's the footage?"She really doubted that her mother's suddenly worsened condition had nothing to do with Linda.Nonetheless, Andy showed her the security footage with just a look from Henry.And Henry stood beside Tina, while gesturing for Andy to help Linda back on her wheelchair.However, the footage only showed Mrs. Fuller taking Mrs. Smith outside, where there were cameras.The cameras only caught several people running toward the stairs, and soon, nurses rushed in the same direction with a stretcher, with Mrs. Smith and Linda brought upstairs after.No one knew how Mrs. Smith fell and what happened before that. "I called them over too, Mr. Barnes," Andy said, beckoning for the people who were at the stairs at the time.Henry nodded, and the people were each enthusiastic as they were told there would be a reward, telling everyone everything they saw at the time."We were just passi

Tina's kick landed squarely on Linda's face!"Argh!" Linda cried out in pain and turned to level a tearful gaze at Henry. "Help me…"She waited for Henry to do what he usually did—throw Tina aside and run over to dote on her.And yet Henry kept holding on to Tina, pulling her backward. "Calm down, Tina!"However, Tina's eyes were red as she glared viciously at Linda on the floor. "Calm down?! Linda murdered Sophie and Grandma, and now, my mother has to undergo her surgery ahead of time because of her!"And you're telling me to calm down?! Let go of me!"Nonetheless, Henry dragged Tina firmly backward, and she could not free herself despite struggling violently.As such, she stopped struggling and kept kicking Linda instead.Unable to dodge, Linda was kicked repeatedly until Henry finally pulled Tina away and pinned her between himself and the wall.Tina's chest heaved—even if she could not free herself from Henry, she glared spitefully past Henry's shoulder.Henry could not s
