Chapter 67

Author: Angelica1
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.

    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

    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

    "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

    "Hah!"Henry snorted, ignoring her resistance, and pried her hands off again.Tina held on to the door in turn, her nails digging in.But it was pointless even as she used all her strength as Henry pried off each finger and shut the door mercilessly in her face.Darkness engulfed her in an instant, and Tina pried the handle to find that it was locked from the outside.The terror she buried in the depths of her heart swelled, while all color drained from her cheeks.Smacking the door in agitation, she cried, "Open the door! Let me out! You have no right to lock me up without evidence!"There was only silence."Henry Barnes! Can't you hear me?! Let me out! You have no right to lock me up!"Still, silence.Tina trembled all over, but she fought to stay calm as she fumbled through the darkness to look around for a switch.She felt around in the darkness and finally found it, feeling hope once more as she flipped it.Click.The darkness remained—the wiring had been cut.Tina's

    And now, Henry pushed Tina into the same hell with his own hands, just to punish her for Linda and Rory, torturing Tina with her worst fears.Her throat felt like it was seized by a formless hand that clenched harder by the second, so much so that she could not breathe.She was on her knees as she tried her best to loosen her collar, her lips opened feebly as she gasped for air.But she was still suffocating, as her nerves were at their limit.Struck by terror, even her voice was a lot softer now as she gave in, allowing herself to be vulnerable in Henry's presence. "Let me out… Henry… Open the door…"She called his name repeatedly as she hit the door, her voice trembling and almost unintelligible.He knew she was terrified but did not care.The darkness magnified her senses, and she could hear the faintest sounds outside as she pressed herself against the door.She could hear the footsteps and knew Henry was right outside.She could even imagine his haughty glare, poising him

    Tina broke.Her tears welling out of her eyes, she crawled back to the door, hitting it limply with her bleeding fingers.Even as she left palm prints of blood, she no longer felt pain as she cried and pleaded to the man outside, "Please let me out, I'm begging you…"'Don't be so cruel!'Her words were filled with endless bitterness.However, it was Linda who stood outside, folding her arms before her chest.She kept silent, allowing Tina to presume that she was Henry, grinning as she listened to Tina beg in her despair.Even if she could not see inside, Tina's voice was enough to tell her how terrible a state Tina was in, and it was so much more pleasant than having Tina arrested.With Madam Barnes back and how protective she was of Tina, Tina would have been bailed out even before Linda's accomplices could do a thing.Locking Tina here was the worst torture possible instead!That was for trying to steal Henry from her! Tina could take her time and enjoy her stay!Still, Li

    The room heating system was turned on, and the warmth was just right, but Rory cringed when her clothes were taken off.Still sleeping, she snuggled up to Linda in her arms. Even if Linda was not the best of mothers, she was her only mother, and Rory was dependent on her down to her core.But Linda was not relenting from the intimacy as she turned off the room heating system.Then, she carried Rory into the bathroom and turned on the cold water, causing the temperature to drop right away.Linda watched as the tub filled and touched the surface, immediately feeling a painful chill.Feeling the cold, Rory's teeth chattered as she pressed herself deeper into Linda's arms. "Hug me, Mommy… I'm so cold…"Linda's heart almost caved, but remembering that Tina was in the basement, she did not hesitate to shove Rory into the tub.The icy water quickly flooded over Rory's scrawny body, and Rory shuddered even as she slept but could not wake up because of her medication.Her teeth kept cha

    As soon as Henry heard that Tina was hurt and hospitalized, he got into his car and rushed to the hospital, only to see John touching her upon arrival.However, John had already been furious with Henry when he found Tina in her tragic state.If he had not dumped her at that isolated place, she would not have suffered so much.Hence, John stood up.Henry presumed that he was backing down and released his grip, only for John to suddenly get up and punch him in the face viciously.It came so quickly it caught Henry off guard, and it struck him true.While John was a gentleman, and this was the first time that he had ever punched anyone, he did it so viciously.Henry stumbled backward once before catching his balance and felt blood in his mouth.Still, his face contorted savagely, but as he was about to return the punch, Tina suddenly got out of bed.She knew him too well and scrambled out of bed to stand in front of John.Henry's eyes widened and promptly stopped, his fist just

    "Tina!" John cried, grimacing in heartache as he dropped to one knee, wrapping his coat around her before carefully picking her up.However, she was hurting everywhere after the robber kicked her repeatedly.She gasped in pain without knowing as John touched her and could not see where she was hurt under her clothes.She was not loud, but the pain in his eyes showed even more.He gathered her in his arms even more carefully this time, while Ian drove over in his black Maybach.Ian opened the door, and John put Tina in the backseat, barking, "Get us to the hospital!"At his order, Ian floored the gas pedal and sped off.-Much later, John was sitting by a hospital bed, his eyes fixed on Tina, who lay frailly on it.The doctor told him that Tina was bruised all over, clearly having been kicked repeatedly.John's heart clenched at the thought, his pain welling out.That was when Tina woke up and found herself staring at John's dark gaze right away.She was awake but also felt

    The robber started fantasizing—once he got rich, he would kick his wife and the three money sinks to the curb and get himself a young pretty face to carry his genes.With that thought, he cheerfully returned to his bike and sped off, not caring about what happened to Tina.She lay on the ground, watching as the last thing she kept of Sophie disappeared from her sight, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Sophie…"In time, her body slowly turned stiff from the cold as she lay on the icy ground.Her tears would dry up quickly, but more would flow soon after.There was no telling how long had passed before she completely passed out.-After getting Henry's call, Andy promptly drove to where Tina was, but she was not there when he arrived.He alighted and yelled, "Ms. Smith!"There was no response, so he returned to his car and called Henry, but the call was cut off right away.After all, Henry had called him to pick Tina up while he sent his people to save Linda. At this time, he m

    Furious, the robber lunged at Tina viciously. "You bitch! You asked for this!"Tina was flat on her back and did not have the strength to fight back as the robber charged at her again.She could only curl up to hold onto the necklace containing Sophie's bone."Give it up!" However, the robber was a blue collar worker and very strong.His hands were like pliers that grabbed firmly on her arm as he attempted to unfold her.He did not expect Tina to hold on so tightly that his temple veins were bulging, and he could not even pull her arm off."Fuck! Don't think I can't make you budge!" he swore as he sprang to his feet again. Unable to pull her off, he kicked her repeatedly.He did not hold back, just like how he never held back on beating his wife whenever he got too drunk.In fact, he was furious this time and kicked Tina even harder.However, Tina only curled into herself even tighter amid the pain.Even as she started blacking out, she held onto the necklace containing

    Tina was the one who had taken care of Sophie from birth.Since jewelry was cumbersome when taking care of children, she was used to not wearing it even after Sophie's death.At most, she wore a watch to work—hers was not all that valuable, but she took it off even though it was hidden under her sleeve.Having given the robber everything, and seeing that he was still measuring her from head to toe, she said earnestly, "I really have nothing else."She had been very compliant, and the robber believed her and started stuffing everything into the handbag.However, just as he was about to get on his bike, he spotted the necklace around Tina's neck.His face dropping, he hung the handbag on the bike while snarling as he returned to Tina, grabbing her shoulder, "You bitch! You lied to me!"He was a big man and could crush her collarbone right then.Even as Tina shuddered in pain, she did not know what had gotten the robber upset, fighting back her panic as she said, "I've really give

    It was a voice that would invoke any man's chivalry."I won't leave!" Henry promised Linda again.Relieved, Linda calmly closed her eyes, her breathing turning rhythmic.Thinking that she was asleep, Henry pulled his hand away…"Henry!"Linda promptly jolted awake, her eyes wide open.However, seeing that Henry was just moving to sit by the bed, she calmly closed her eyes again, this time holding firmly on his shirt to keep him.Nothing would change, even if Henry found out that Tina was not the one who had drugged him five years ago!In his mind, Linda would always be his savior, the woman he loved the most!He would love her like nothing ever happened no matter what she had gone through, and Tina had no right to compete with her!-Meanwhile, Tina continued walking along the eerily silent road after Henry had left her there.She would be lying if she said she was not scared, but she fought her fear and hurried along.It would take several hours to reach the city, but tha

    It was a line that reminded Henry of that moment five years ago, and he nodded. "Yeah. I told you I'd never let you get hurt again, Linda."The single line offered Linda assurance, and she threw herself into Henry's arms."Henry…" She sobbed endlessly, at once hysterical and miserable. "You came for me!"Pained, Henry pursed his lips and scooped her up in his arms. "It's alright. I'm taking you home right now.""Yeah," Linda murmured, hugging his neck and pressing her cheek against his chest, shuddering endlessly.She seemed horrified, refusing to leave his embrace.And that was how Henry carried her to his car, quietly telling the chauffeur to head to Rose Garden.It was almost ten when they arrived.As Henry carried Linda inside as well, the maid heard them and came out.Bowing respectfully at the two when she saw them, she said, "Mr. Barnes, Ms. Cook. Rory's asleep.""Good," Henry replied quietly and leaned down to tell Linda tenderly, "We're home, Linda."Linda did not s

    Seeing that Henry was stopping to listen, the man's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly said, "It's the truth, Mr. Barnes—I'm not lying! She really came on to us!"That woman's acting was just too good.If they had not personally been there, even they would have doubted that the same person who came on to them was also the same person who had accused them!"It's the truth, Mr. Barnes!" the other man promptly echoed, his tone earnest as he tried to convince Henry.Regret was twisting their insides to a bunch too, as they did not have evidence—if they did, they would have shown it!They had been feeling gleeful earlier that they were doing it in a place without cameras.And now, they could not even defend themselves!Henry looked at them then.He could see that they were just stopping short of swearing it was the truth, and there was no hint of guilt in their eyes as they looked at him in turn."No!!! Get away from me!!! Please don't touch me!!! Henry!!! Henry!!!"But even as

    Henry's eyes were on Tina even as he held his cigarette and answered the phone.Tina ignored him as he had clearly mentioned Linda's name to screw with her, but just as she got up, Henry's face dropped.He dropped his cigarette on her too, and she flinched in pain, losing her balance and falling again.However, Henry was busy assuring Linda endlessly as she screamed in terror on the other end. "Calm down! I'm coming right now—I'll save you! It's alright!"He did not hang up as he continued offering words of comfort, completely ignoring Tina as if she was never there.As soon as he returned to his car, he floored the gas pedal, disappearing into the night."Henry Barnes!" Tina yelled just as she got up, but her voice was drowned out by the roaring engine, and she was left standing as she watched Henry's car disappear from sight.A cold breeze blew just then, and the rustle of leaves echoed on both sides of the road.As Tina shuddered, she picked up her bag from the ground and to
