"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

At Barnes Ranch the next day, Madam Barnes was telling Sam, "Send word to the kitchen—tell them to cook some of Tina's favorite food for dinner.""Yes, ma'am." Sam bowed his head and left.Madam Barnes then took out her phone, texting Tina instead of calling since Tina would be at work.[I had the kitchen make your favorites for dinner. Do drop by after work.]She did not wait for a reply since Tina might be busy and went upstairs from a nap.However, Tina never replied even when Madam Barnes woke up, and it was past 4 pm. Madam Barnes then finally called."Sorry, the device you are calling has been turned off."Madam Barnes frowned—there was no way Tina would turn off her phone while at work.Scowling, she called Henry, but no one answered either.As such, she called Andy instead. "Where's Henry?""He's in a meeting, ma'am," Andy answered calmly.He knew that Madam Barnes despised Linda and would throw a fit if she found out that Henry had been staying with Linda and Rory s

Tina's cheeks were as white as a sheet as she lay on a hospital bed, while Madam Barnes asked a doctor worriedly, "How is she?""She fainted from arrhythmia but made it in time. If she were brought in even a second later, she would've died from shock."The diagnosis left Madam Barnes shaking with rage.Her chest heaving as she thumped her cane on the floor, she snarled through her teeth, "That vile spawn!"Henry knew Tina was terrified of basements, but he had locked her up in there for so long!Was he trying to kill her?!Sam hurried to Madam Barnes worriedly. "Please, Ma'am. Your health…"However, his advice fell on deaf ears until a cool hand reached Madam Barnes' wrinkled hand, calling out hoarsely, "Grandma…"Madam Barnes flinched as she promptly grasped Tina's hand in return, rubbing it in her palms to warm it while asking in concern, "Yes, Tina—I'm right here. Are you feeling alright?"Tears welled up in Tina's eyes right then. "I'm alright. I'm just hungry."Madam Bar

Then, the burly man kicked Linda, sending her tumbling into the car.Her head struck the car seat hard, and she was still in a daze when she felt her hair being grabbed."Argh!"She screamed shrilly as she was pulled inside and forced to look up to a pair of cool eyes.It was Tina—she had come to make Linda pay!Still, Linda's panic faded as soon as she saw that it was Tina, and she sat up fearlessly, even raising her brow at the woman who was left haggard and pale after a night of torture.Talk about dumb luck, coming out unscathed!And it went without saying that Madam Barnes must have freed Tina!Despite her frustration, Linda still noticed Tina's bandaged fingers and felt endless glee as she begged endlessly last night.However, she did not let her feelings show, fearlessly asking as if a damsel in distress, "Why are you doing, Tina? Let me go!"You know how much Henry loves me. If he finds out that you didn't learn your lesson and hurt me again, he would get upset… and w

Yancy was himself on the way to the hospital when he called Henry, and his expression was somber as he hung up.Even as he sped toward the hospital, he was left wondering how Mrs. Smith suddenly went into shock, when her condition was clearly stabilizing?She was already weak after a major surgery, and the shock came with terrible timing.If they could not save her in time, she would die.And even if they did, she might remain comatose, staying in a vegetative state.Even as the thought crossed Yancy's mind, he floored the gas pedal again.Every second counted for such medical crises, and just being early by one minute might make all the difference.And Yancy prayed that Mrs. Smith would be fine.-Tina was pale as she stood outside the doors of the emergency room.She and Jimmy were going to take turns taking care of Mrs. Smith, as there was no reason for two people to stay with her at the same time.As such, Tina told Jimmy to go home to rest and come tomorrow so they coul

On the other hand, Linda felt gleeful about it too.Sophie was six feet under but had never once experienced such fatherly love from Henry.It all went to Rory instead.Smart as ever, Rory called out to Linda just then, "Mommy." Linda hurried over as Rory held out a hand while she remained in Henry's arms.Linda quickly grasped Rory's hand and used that as an excuse to move beside Henry, even pressing herself against him.Her spirits soared as she inhaled that mature masculine scent of his.How could she ever let go of his man?No matter what happened, she would never let Henry find out that Tina was Orange.Henry was hers and hers alone!As Linda subtly pressed herself closer to Henry, they looked just like a blissful family of three in the distance.Still, she had to get up when the specialist Henry recruited hurried over, and Henry told Rory to lie down.After the specialists took turns to examine Rory, Henry went with them to the office to speak about her condition in
Unfulfilled Last Wish Chapter 413
Hearing that there was evidence, Tina's spirit soared.After countless attempts on her own life and pulling herself together, she told herself repeatedly that she must be patient—that she must not break before she avenged Sophie.That she must never rush things and always be calm, and never let Henry or Linda get to her.However, how could she not get impatient?Linda had murdered her baby, and her hatred for Linda cut deep into her bones.Even in her dreams, she wanted justice for Sophie.But now, knowing that Linda was a fraud all along, Tina could not wait to get her hands on the evidence and rip off Linda's mask of lies as Henry watched!"Where's the evidence, Mom?" Tina pressed urgently.Beside Mrs. Smith's bed, Mrs. Fuller leaned closer when Mrs. Smith said there was evidence.Mrs. Smith's voice was too soft for her to catch, and Jimmy and Tina were both too focused on Mrs. Smith to notice what she was doing anyway.However, just before Mrs. Smith could tell Tina where

Crash!However, just as Mrs. Smith finished, Mrs. Fuller suddenly staggered and knocked over a bedside lamp.It shattered loudly on the floor, drowning out Mrs. Smith's already enfeebled voice."I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Mrs. Fuller apologized repeatedly as she dropped down to pick up the pieces, and no one paid attention to that minor distraction after.Still, Henry missed what Mrs. Smith said and was about to ask what it was when Linda grabbed his arm and caught his attention. "Please, Henry—Tina's mother's surgery was a success. She can wait, but Rory can't."She's really in terrible danger—anything else can wait. Can't you go to Rory now?"Linda's tears poured as she pleaded miserably, as all she wanted was to get Henry away from this place.Once she did, she would use Rory to buy even more time while she came up with a plan.Henry had to agree that Linda was right—there was a priority to things.Mrs. Smith's surgery was a success, and she had already passed her risk period—t

Looking Henry straight in the eye, Linda seemed not to notice his hostility at all.Her fingers clenching on her wheelchair, she threw herself toward Henry without an ounce of self-regard. "Please, Henry. You have to save Rory…"Henry did not expect that and could not catch her in time, leaving her collapsing in front of Mrs. Smith's bed."Linda!"As Henry came to his senses and went up to Linda, she seized the moment to wrap her arms around him, looking at him with a face covered in tears of misery and despair. "Please, Henry. You have to save Rory!"Henry's face dropped as he finally heard what Linda was saying.Scooping Linda off the ground and putting her into her wheelchair, he asked nervously, "What happened to Rory?"Linda kept clinging to him as she choked with tears. "Rory is suffering from kidney transplant rejection… the doctor said it's very serious…"She's very scared… she's crying, saying she wants to see you… but you won't answer my calls!"I know Tina doesn't w

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
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
