Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 64
Henry felt like something was stuck in his throat, choking him.Eventually, he rasped, "Sorry."He did not think that something so insignificant like visiting an amusement park was so important to Sophie.Tina closed her eyes when she heard the apology.As she opened them again, she slowly turned, leveling her puffy red eyes straight as his with hatred as she growled every word. "Sorry?! Your apology is worth nothing!"Henry saw that she was losing her mind and remembered how she had begged him on her knees.He had been busy then—Rory was complaining about being afraid of her surgery, and he had promised to stay with her.He immediately refused Tina as soon as he asked, but surprised that Tina would go that far to beg him, he eventually relented, only to break that promise."I made a mistake. I'll make it up to Sophie," Henry said, humble around Tina for once.However, Tina clenched her knuckle and strode up menacingly instead of relenting. "Make it up to her?! How?! Do you kn
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 65
Henry's brow eased as Tina finally relented."Alright." He promptly stood up, taking her hand and hurrying outside impatiently.Once they got in, he helped her with her seatbelt while asking, "Where to?""I'll point the way," Tina replied, as she was worried that Henry would call her crazy like before if she said it was the graveyard."Okay." Henry shrugged, too happy about seeing Sophie again to be petty.As he drove out of the garage, neither of them spoke as they were both caught up with their emotions.Tina kept her eyes on the road, giving directions seriously until Henry's phone rang halfway.It was a call from Linda.Hearing that familiar ringtone, Tina's body stiffened, and she promptly turned to Henry.He turned to her as well, and seeing her cool glare, he was able to tell that she did not want him to answer his phone.Henry gave in and declined the call, only for his phone to ring again.When he was about to answer, Tina warned icily, "This is your last chance. Mi

Linda's eyes were red and swollen from crying as she begged, "Please, just let go of my daughter—we can talk about this. My daughter is innocent—don't hurt her, please!"As Henry watched, she even bowed repeatedly and forcefully but was seemingly unaware of the pain or that she was bleeding as she continued.Henry's face dropped, and he shook off Tina as he rushed inside, knocking her off balance and dropping to the floor.She had her back against the wall, taking moments to fight back the dizziness and look up.From her angle, she just happened to see the side of Linda's face, who looked at the man while she looked up between bows.There was no fear or plea in her eyes. If anything, it looked like a signal…Still, Tina was in a daze and wondered if she was seeing things.Even she could not believe that Linda was crazy enough to hurt her own daughter!Nonetheless, Linda once again had her head down when Tina's eyes cleared, while the man suddenly bellowed, "Innocent?! Your da
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 67
Just as Henry finished, they heard a purr of an engine, and Andy soon rushed inside with Carl Sandler.Carl spotted Tina on the floor first and was ready to examine her since she looked terrible."Get over here. Rory's hurt," Henry growled icily right then.Tina looked up to see the hostile glare on his eyes, as if saying that she was trivial and who cared if she died because Rory mattered most!Carl stared at Tina for another beat but soon turned, taking his medical briefcase from Andy and hurried over, crouching by the couch to examine Rory."Don't worry, sir—her vitals are fine. I'll stitch her up now."As Rory was a child, he applied a local anesthetic before tending to her injuries.However, she was still in shock and trembling in Henry's arms.Henry watched her with a tender smile, patiently comforting her.Tina looked on, remembering the moment when Sophie was first sent to the hospital.Every other child had fathers hovering around them, comforting them—but not her.
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 68
Even as Linda sobbed, she screamed hysterically at Tina, "I know you're upset I cheated! But if you have a problem, take it up with me! Why do you have to send someone so terrible and goad him to hurt me and Rory?!"If Henry did not answer my call and make it in time, he would've killed us! Do you really hate us so much, Tina?!"Tina shook Linda's hand off and retorted icily, "Where's your proof?""Proof?! Do I need proof?! You're the only one who deliberately mentioned it in front of Henry! And it's just the three of us! Who else could it be?!"Even as Linda bawled and accused Tina, she was convinced that Henry would definitely believe her, since he loved her so much. However, Tina smirked. "There's you too, no?"Linda's eyes widened, and she turned toward Henry tearfully, waiting for him to intervene.But he did not.Her chest heaving, Linda's tears gushed right then as if humiliated. "You liar! I'm not like you! You used Sophie like a tool just to get Henry's attention!"S
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 69
Linda certainly had the look of a mother who would do anything as long as their child was fine. "I thought I could pretend nothing ever happened as long as you understood you made a mistake—""How are you this good? Hollywood really owes you an Oscar."Tina smirked in disdain, cutting her short impatiently. "Also, are you done? Like I said—where's your proof?"Since she did not do it, she doubted that Linda could show any proof at all.If anything, Linda had the guts to frame her solely because Henry trusted her unconditionally.Linda's eyes went red as if in desperation, and she shrieked, "Fine! Proof, you say?!"She lifted the man by the collar, shaking him in agitation, "Talk! Who gave you my address?! Who sent you after us?!"The man merely leveled a ferocious glare at Linda but said nothing.Seeing that Tina remained calm as if it was none of her business, Henry glanced at Andy, who promptly leaped up and took the man off Linda's hands.Then, throwing him to the ground, h

Linda glanced at Henry from the corner of her eye.Worried that Tina's calmness would make him doubt her, she kept snapping at Tina, "You're such a horrible woman! How could you do such a thing without your conscience hurting? Is it because of Madam Barnes?! Do you think you can do anything you like, now that she's back?!"She did not just make sure to use words that would touch Henry's nerves either—she started to bawl and wobble as if she was falling apart.As if she had proof but could not do anything about Tina.Once she was done, she glanced at Henry to see a scary glower on his face.It was all over for Tina now—she was not going to leave in one piece once she was locked up!As Linda lowered her face, her eyes flashed viciously.Still, before she called the cops, Henry suddenly growled, "Andy, go to the precinct.""Yes, Mr. Barnes." Andy strode up and dragged the man out.On the other hand, Tina could not quite keep up.However, she had done nothing and was therefore no
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 71
"Shut up!"The mere mention of the police left Henry's expression darkening as he glared at Tina. "You really are fearless."At that point, Tina understood.Henry believed Linda, thinking that Tina insisted on going to the cops not because she was innocent, but because she had Madam Barnes' backing.It was fine as Madam Barnes loved Tina and despised Linda, and she would use the family influence to bail Tina out unscathed—just like how Henry brainlessly protected Linda.If that happened, he could not get payback for his beloved woman and daughter.Tina thought that her heart was impervious, but at that moment, her heart still stung terribly.She bit her lip and whipped out her phone—even if he did not want to call the cops, she could do it herself!However, she had just pressed the numbers when a hand snatched it out of her grasp before she could dial."Give it back!" Tina snapped, reaching out to grab it.However, Henry turned it off and threw it on the couch.Missing her m

Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 410
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.
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 409
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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 407
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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 406
"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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 405
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. All
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 404
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
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 403
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
