Chapter 261

Meanwhile, in Rose Garden, Linda was panicking as her calls to Andy went unanswered.This had never happened before.She had pretended to be devastated following Madam Barnes' death, even offering to help arrange funeral matters with Henry, but he refused.That was to be expected since they were not officially married, and she had no place, so she did not mind that—she really could not be bothered to help anyway, because that hag did not deserve such an honor.What Linda did not expect, however, was for Henry to not allow her to bring Rory, just because the hag despised her.That was not all—Linda had also not seen Henry since Madam Barnes' death.The funeral was over, but he never answered her calls or any of her countless texts conveying her condolences and telling him not to drown himself in his sorrows.He was not there when she went to his office looking for him, and Andy was now refusing her calls too.How could she not panic?!In the days when Henry was absent, it becam

Chapter 262

Linda just had to pretend to be sad or vulnerable, and Henry would immediately back down."Henry…"But now, even as she played the same trump card and started to sob, Henry suddenly said, "I just met Eric Sandler."The name left Linda taken aback.Eric was one of Henry's close friends, and it was only natural they met often.But the timing and the look on Henry's face as he said it inevitably reminded Linda of Sophie.Still, she pressed her luck despite connecting the dots—Henry would not go so far as to investigate her when he trusted her unconditionally.Hence, working hard to stay calm and composed, she asked, "Oh! Then why didn't you invite him over? It's been a while since I've seen him too, and I could cook—""Aren't you curious about what he told me?" Henry demanded icily, cutting her short.After learning the truth from Eric, Henry suddenly could not recognize the calm Linda—as if she was a stranger.Orange used to be so kind that she would start stammering when she t

Linda simply cried even louder as she met Henry's glare of despair and kept shaking her head. "No! That's not it!"Sophie is your daughter—how could I think that her life doesn't matter?"But I read Sophie's file, and her condition wasn't so serious. That meant Sophie could wait, but not my Rory!"Without that kidney, Rory would definitely die—"Smack!Smack!Seeing that Henry was not softening, Linda suddenly slapped herself repeatedly while cursing herself, "I was so selfish! I deserve to die!"She was not holding back and was hitting herself forcefully, looking utterly remorseful.Soon, her cheeks were swelling visibly.Henry pursed his lips in turn.He was really furious to hear Linda say that she had really done it, but seeing her being so remorseful, he could not stop himself from catching her wrists and growling, "That's enough."His words left Linda bursting into tears. "I'm so sorry, Henry. Taking Sophie's kidney had been constantly weighing on my heart."I was con

Though Linda's tears never stopped, and her tone was at once earnest, Henry said sternly, "I'll handle us. You're not allowed to go looking for Tina."He said 'not allowed' instead of 'you don't have to', because after learning the entire story, he finally understood why Tina kept saying that Linda murdered Sophie.And since Tina hated Linda to the bone, Linda would just upset Tina by showing up.Linda nodded then and continued, "I've been having trouble sleeping ever since I learned that Sophie died. I really feel so guilty… I really want to make it up to Tina…"Those words left Henry scowling. "I'll do that.""How, Henry? Is there anything I can do?" Linda asked enthusiastically, like she really wanted to make amends."I'll marry her, giving her her rightful place," Henry replied quietly.Linda was so shocked that she forgot her tears and could not bring herself to ask, "What about me?"As she kept staring at Henry with tear-filled eyes, she suddenly did not know if Henry was

Smack!Even before Henry could finish, Tina had already slapped him furiously across the face.Shaking with rage, she glared at Henry with bloodshot eyes as she bellowed, "Is that how a normal person speaks?! What is Sophie to you?!"Getting further upset as she thought about it, she slapped Henry again! How could he even say that?!To him, Sophie's death could be fixed by just having another child?! What did he take Sophie for?!"I don't mean it that way!"Henry did not stop Tina as he realized she had misunderstood and allowed her to keep slapping him as he explained, "I don't mean to replace Sophie. I just think that if we had another child, Sophie could reincarnate and be our daughter!"Henry did not believe in reincarnation, but for the first time, he hoped that it was real for Sophie's sake!If he begged at Sophie's gravestone for her to reincarnate as his daughter again, so that he had the chance to make amends, then Sophie would definitely reincarnate into Tina's bell

Chapter 266

John had fantasized about tonight countless items—cooking together, dining together, and washing the dishes together, just like ordinary couples did.It was a simple daily routine, but he had yearned for it for years.It was merely human nature to be greedy, and while one could have been more restrained because they never had a taste, John missed Tina soon after he left because of that moment of intimacy.He was almost thirty but felt like an impulsive brat just then.He tried to stop himself too, but his hands moved faster than he could think, making a U-turn at the green light.However, when he returned to Maple Park, he saw a familiar car.It was Henry's.At that very moment, he felt very lucky that he had turned back.He promptly ran out of the car and up the stairs, not waiting for the elevator.As soon as he reached Tina's floor, he found Henry grabbing Tina, and he rushed toward the doorway, grabbing Henry's collar from behind and pulling while punching him in the face

Chapter 267

John waited anxiously outside the counselling room, experiencing for a second time how minutes could feel like years.The first time he had felt that way was just days ago, when he had waited outside the ER after Tina tried to take her own life.Nonetheless, after Tina had gone inside for 45 minutes and 28 seconds, the door opened, and Tina's psychiatrist was standing at the doorway.John looked past her worriedly into the room, asking, "How's Tina? Is she alright?"The psychiatrist closed the door behind her and looked up at John.It had been months since Tina started visiting, and this was the first time she had brought anyone with her.She asked Tina who John was, and after hesitating a while, Tina said she was one of the two people she could trust.And seeing that she willingly allowed him to bring her here, that already showed that Tina accepted and trusted this man.Moreover, the psychiatrist really believed that Tina's condition should not be kept secret. "She's in reall

Tina looked like she had completely recovered, even smiling at John. "Sorry, I must have given you a fright."However, that smile only left John's chest tightening.Still, he did not say much and patted her head before taking her hand, which felt cold to the touch.Caught by surprise, Tina stared at their hands for seconds but did not pull away.Her heart felt so cold that she yearned a little for such warmth."Thank you, Dr. Urban," she said. "I'm going now."Nancy Urban nodded. "Call me anytime.""Okay." Tina nodded and left with John.Nancy watched them leave before returning to her office.When she was gone, Linda stepped out from behind the hallway, with Nancy's words ringing in her mind.Now, Linda was sure that Tina was chronically depressed, to the point that further shock could drive her to suicide.Linda sneered sinsitertly—her focus was on the word 'suicide', just as she would love to see how Henry was going to make amends to a dead person.Henry could only be he

John stood beside her, watching with a tenderness that seemed to melt.But more than that, he felt pained for her.He did not tell Tina that when he had sent his people to investigate the kidney meant for Sophie, someone had deliberately erased every piece of related information.And the one person who could do that was Henry, and no one else.That meant Henry wanted to protect Linda, no matter what it took.Meanwhile, Tina kept firing arrows until she was almost exhausted.Still, it somewhat cheered her up.Seeing that it was almost eleven, she said, "It's late. We should go.""Yeah." John took her hand again, and they left the indoor amusement park.As they returned to the car and he helped her with her seatbelt, he felt worried as he saw that the gloom did not fade from her eyes completely.Worried about leaving her by herself, he asked softly, "Why don't we go to my place?""What?"Tina turned sharply toward him, clearly shocked.John realized right away how ambiguous

Chapter 270

Tina hung up without hesitation, but her phone jingled as the number sent a message: [Answer the call, or you'll regret it.]It was captioned with a picture of the graveyard where Sophie was buried, and Tina's mind seemed to go blank at that.The negative emotions that she had gone through great difficulty to restrain once again went into a frenzy.Her hands trembled so much that she could not hold on to her phone.Still, Tina took deep breaths, doing her best to compose herself.But before she could recover, another call came.Tina answered before she knew it, and Linda's face appeared right then.She was standing right in front of Sophie's grave, her eyes vicious as she snarled, "Come here alone, and don't tell anyone—or there won't be anything left of your bastard."She then flipped the camera around, and Tina immediately saw the familiar pink urn by her feet.It was the urn holding Sophie's ashes—Sophie loved pink, and Tina had personally picked it for Sophie, so there wou
