As soon as Henry parked his black Ghost downstairs of the hospital where Mrs. Smith was admitted, he hurried out, carrying the favorite fruits he remembered she used to like.He wanted to see Mrs. Smith, and Tina even more so.However, just as he stepped out of the elevator, he ran into Tina, who was just leaving Mrs. Smith's room to pick up some groceries downstairs."Tina!" Henry exclaimed, at once excited as he rushed toward her.His dark gaze was fixed on Tina, and he could not help reaching toward her, intent on taking her into his arms and having her melt into him.The instant he learned that Tina was the real Orange, he felt rage from Linda's deception that lasted a decade.However, he also felt irrepressible delight—strictly speaking, he had never cheated on Orange.Nevertheless, Tina was frowning—a stark contrast from Henry's thrill.The instant he got near, she stepped backward, avoiding him like the plague.Henry stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed the pause

While Tina used to wonder what would happen if she met Ice again, all she wanted was for him to stay as far away from her as possible upon learning that Ice was Henry."Tina…"Henry wanted to tell her that he would find evidence, and that Linda would wish she were dead if there was solid proof that she was guilty.However, Tina did not want to listen to his nonsense.In fact, she really could not even be bothered to be disappointed in him after learning that he only had Linda locked up at the precinct."Get out! Don't make me slap you again!" she snapped, her tone even colder now.That was when Mrs. Smith called out, "Is that Henry? Let him in!"Mrs. Smith had been sleeping after she was rushed to the hospital, but the commotion outside woke her up, and she called out when she heard Henry.And as soon as Henry heard her, he let his eyes linger on Tina for a moment but soon strode past Tina into the room.The rim of his eyes reddened as soon as he saw Mrs. Smith staring at him

Some of the fruits hit Henry on the head, while some dropped on the floor.Even so, Henry never moved, staying on his knees and allowing Mrs. Smith to vent as much as she wanted.He had to do that much after what he did to Sophie and Tina. However, Jimmy snapped right then, "Don't try to make yourself look so pitiful—you heard Mrs. Smith! She told you to leave!"If you actually think you owe her, Tina, and Sophie, then find evidence and avenge Sophie. As long as you don't avenge them, you have no right showing up around them!"Otherwise, Henry did not even get to atone, let alone ask for a second chance!"Please get some proper rest, Mama Orange," Henry said then.He was reluctant to upset Mrs. Smith, and after allowing her to vent briefly, he got up and left.However, he could not help pausing just as he passed Tina, glancing at her with endless affection and regret.How could he not regret it?How much better would it have been if he had not gotten the wrong person?Even

Seeing that the cabbie gave up without a fight, Linda shot him a look of disdain and spat, "Loser!"Peasants would always be peasants—he did not even have the balls to retort!However, the cabbie simply watched her despite her glare of disdain without reacting and kept driving steadily.Linda snorted audibly in turn, rearing her chin while looking outside the window.She finally got slight relief from the frustration of being locked up for forty-eight hours, after all.Nonetheless, the commercial district where she was at was bustling with activity since it was the weekend.The cabbie also made sure to stop where there were most people. Once Linda alighted after paying and steered her wheelchair out of the car, the cabbie suddenly yelled at the crowd, "Look, everyone! It's Linda Cook!"His call was like a clap of thunder, and the crowd was at once restless.She was already slightly famous online because of her relationship with Henry over the last two years.Her fame only sk

However, the security guards were not really going all out to stop the mob either, and Linda was still hit by the flying projectiles as she was escorted away.As she was trending, when photos of her miserable state were uploaded online, she immediately reached top ten, as if it was only natural.And Mrs. Smith had been monitoring the online trends over the past couple days.Even if Linda was not brought to justice, she still more or less felt some satisfaction out of seeing countless netizens condemning Linda.As such, she also quickly saw that video of Linda being subject to everyone's contempt as soon as she was released as there was no evidence against her.Even if she did not feel completely relieved, just seeing Linda in that sorry state eased the frustration straining her heart.She watched it repeatedly too, muttering under breath as she did, "Guess you finally behaved like a human being."As long as Henry stopped taking Linda's side, her dear Tina would not suffer more g

Rory leveled a clingy smile at Henry and was sweet toward him because her mother might get upset if he left."Okay." Henry nodded. Rory's cheeks were very pale as she just had her surgery, and he had trouble saying no to her when she was in that condition.He was disappointed in Linda, but he earnestly liked Rory and did not want to involve children in a feud between adults.As such, even if he meant to destroy Linda, he told the care worker and every medical staff on the floor to keep Rory in the dark.With that in mind, he sat down beside Rory and picked up her storybook, going along even though she had asked him to read the longest story in it.It was a picture of bliss as he read the story in his dulcet tone, while Rory continued to stare at him worshipfully.Still, it all came to a stop when Linda showed up.She had used up most of her money and could not hire help to clear her name. Hence, worried that there would be another lynch mob incident like at the mall, she kept

Linda thought that Henry would distance himself from Rory as well after she was exposed and was surprised that Rory placed much higher in Henry's heart than she imagined.Even if he despised her now, he could not bear to see Rory hurt at all.She still had a chance!With that in mind, she sent away Rory's care worker—since Henry hired that woman, she might rat her out.And once the care worker was gone, Linda turned to level a tender gaze at Rory, who cringed as if by instinct.She yearned for her mother's tenderness but was also afraid of it.After all, different degrees of hurt would come whenever her mother gave her that look.Nonetheless, Linda gave Rory a peck on the cheek as she whispered into her ear, instructing her with the most gentle tone.When she finished, she asked, "Do you remember everything I said?""Yes, Mommy," Rory replied, nodding tamely.Like she always did, she repeated everything Linda said, word for word.Linda gave Rory another peck on the cheek as

The floor was a complete mess, with a janitor and the care worker cleaning it up together.As soon as Rory saw Henry, she promptly spread her arms, calling out miserably and raspily, "Daddy…"Henry strode up, the pain in his eyes clear as he saw the bruises on her face and hands—even the braids he tied for her this morning were now a lopsided mess."What happened?" Henry sat by Rory's bed and held her, his large hand gently patting her back to comfort her while turning sharply toward Rory's care worker.Before Rory's care worker could speak, Linda heard him and hastily picked up a jacket as she came out, sniffling, "I'm sorry, Henry—I brought this upon Rory. It's all my fault for not protecting Rory… I didn't think that they'd follow me to Rory's room."She really was in worse shape than Rory too, what with her hair disheveled, egg yolk and scraps of food still clinging disgustingly on her hair, and the scratch marks visible all over her face, neck, and hands.Her clothes were to

And the instant Henry nodded, Linda, who sat in a corner and kept her head down, looked utterly gleeful.Rory was really useful!Did Tina think she had won?Tina's daughter was dead, and it was Linda's daughter who had taken her place!Even if Tina was now more important to Henry, it was not over between her and Henry as long as her daughter pulled her weight."Thanks, Daddy! I love you!" And hearing that Henry was giving in, she finally stopped crying and gave him a peck on the cheek.Her cheeks were still covered in tears, but Henry did not avoid her despite his clean freak tendencies."Oh, Rory!" Linda pretended to stop her, quickly pulling out a tissue and seizing the moment to initiate physical contact with Henry.However, she had not even reached Henry when he turned away, pulling out some wet wipes nearby to clear Rory's tears from his face.As he did, he shot Linda a cool look.He never said outright that he was rejecting her, but his body language and the look in h

Mrs. Smith was naturally indignant—Linda had only suffered a couple of days of online backlash for what she had done to Jimmy, barely a sliver of what she had put Jimmy and Tina through!However, Tina pulled her phone from her grasp.

Don't worry about it—just rest."Since she could not enjoy more of Linda's suffering, Mrs. Smith quickly fell asleep, since she was not interested in celebrity gossip.And once she did, Tina's eyes turned cool.She knew she could not count on Henry and felt indignation for Jimmy and her mother, seeing how quickly he had spared Linda.The sight of him kneeling before Mrs. Smith was all the more laughable now.Still, she did not bother herself with Henry and thought of Zach Foster instead.After Zach scapegoated himself for Linda, there was no way he could have brought the evidence with him into jail.And John had already bought the house Zach retained after he was freed the first time, having sent his p
