Chapter 233

Penulis: Angelica1
But even as Linda cried foul, she was leering at Tina gleefully and provokingly from behind Henry's back.

"You bitch!"

Even Madam Barnes could not help swearing—how could this woman be so deceitful?!

As she raised her hand to hit Linda, Linda hid behind Henry, terrified like a damsel in distress.

"Grandma!"

Even as Henry moved between them, he had to move to avoid Madam Barnes, and Linda along with him.

However, his attention was fixed on Madam Barnes, and he never noticed that he was bringing Linda right in front of Tina.

Already seething, Tina did not hesitate to kick Linda as hard as she could down the stairs right behind her, knocking her off balance and missing her step.

"Argh!!!"

Linda screamed as she fell, rolling down the stairs.

The bodyguards around them could have caught her, but they stood by and watched.

They would not move unless Madam Barnes told them to.

"Linda!"

And it was too late by the time Henry realized what had happened—Linda was already falling.

    Henry knew that he must not panic now—it would take the firefighters at least fifteen minutes to arrive, and Tina and Mrs. Smith would not survive in that violent blaze.He knocked on a first floor unit and warned them about the fire, then told them to contact the building management and evacuate the building. Then, he bathed himself in their cold shower while still in his clothes and rushed upstairs to Tina's unit without hesitation.The blaze was so violent he could feel the heat as soon as he arrived on Tina's floor.His guts seemed to clench at the thought of Tina and Mrs. Smith being in there.Still, he quickly grabbed the fire extinguisher in the hallway and emptied it to put out the fires which had spread outside.Then, he struck the door with the fire extinguisher, which was already burned to some extent, and took little effort to break it open.Throwing away the fire extinguisher, he took off his coat and held it over his head before charging in."Tina! Mama Orange!"

    As night arrived, Linda drove to Maple Park in Bob's car under the cover of darkness, stopping at the parking lot opposite Tina's block.She sat in the car, her glare venomous as she watched Tina and Mrs. Smith go upstairs, and she kept watching their window until the lights were off.After that, she waited for another hour to make sure they were asleep before getting out of the car and taking out a gas tank that was half her weight.Amid the silence, she carried the can upstairs despite the difficulty. Then, she pried open the front door quietly, sneaking in and quietly opening it.Once she poured the tank's contents all over the living room on the wooden floor, the strong scent of gasoline filled the room.With a third of the tank left, she poured what remained outside the main bedroom and the secondary bedroom, and then outside the front door.She then shut the door, cutting off any path to escape for Tina and Mrs. Smith!With her work done, she whipped out her lighter and ig

    Henry was reading the medical report, while a disheveled Linda stayed crouched nearby, mumbling to herself.The report claimed that the abuse in prison had led to her mental breakdown, and specialists diagnosed her with severe psychosis, suggesting a transfer to a mental asylum.Henry then looked up, watching as Linda laughed one moment and cried the next, and she suddenly flailed his hands in the air while staring into thin air in panic.Through it all, she kept screaming incoherently."Don't come! Don't hurt me!""I didn't kill you! It wasn't me! Don't come after me!"Then, she was suddenly on her knees, her hands gently stroking something in the air as she murmured, "It's me! It's Mommy, Rory!"Suddenly, she broke into her run, and started hitting her head against the wall repeatedly, all while crying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"She was hitting her head really hard and kept going anyway, as if the pain would not stop her.The prison guards had to hurry over to stop

    In the live photo, Tina was busy eating while John watched her with a tender gaze.A lock of her hair slipped, and he reached out, gently tucking it behind her ear.As Tina looked up and their eyes met, she did not flinch from his touch, and their gazes locked.The live photo ended at that moment, and the watermark noted that it was half past eight.Tina never showed up at the restaurant, instead going on a date with John.Just the fact that Tina made her stance clear broke Henry's heart.-Over at Maple Park, Mrs. Smith was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.As she turned, Tina turned on the bedside lamp and asked, "What's wrong, Mom?"Holding her gaze, Mrs. Smith admitted, "I didn't want Henry to show up and ruin your date with John, so I texted him with your phone to keep him away."Jimmy was passing by the restaurant where you were supposed to meet Henry, and he told me that Henry was still there waiting."She then sighed.Her plan was not all about letting Jo

    Time passed, and it was soon the appointed hour, but Tina was nowhere to be seen.Henry picked up his phone, keen to call her and ask where she was.Still, he soon put it down, worried he would upset her because of her impatience and kept waiting.He never had much patience for anyone, save for a five-year-old Orange when he was just ten, and never again.Now, twenty two years later, he was once again patient with her.Whenever his tea got cold, Andy would replace it with a hot one for him.But as Tina never showed up, Andy eventually told Henry, "Mr. Barnes, it's eleven."In fact, he wanted to tell him what time it was just an hour after the appointed hour.It was obvious Tina was not coming—she was always punctual and would have shown up on the hour if she ever intended to come.Even if she was delayed, she would have called or texted Henry.But it had been hours, and there was nothing, let alone any sign of her showing up.It was very clear that Tina was ghosting Henry on

    Tina watched as Henry suffered so much he could die, but she did not remind him about how he had abused and neglected Sophie in life as they were in front of Sophie's candle.While those memories could hurt Henry, it would also tear open the wounds in Sophie's heart, hurting her in the afterlife whenever it was mentioned.Turning away, Tina bowed her head at the head priest and left with John, leaving Henry alone and kneeling in front of the unlit candle.Still, her words earlier were ringing repeatedly in Henry's mind. "Why, you asked? Isn't that obvious, Henry Barnes?! Sophie hates you and refuses to accept your candle! She's never going to forgive you!"His tears rained, leaving two puddles before him.After a long while, he looked up, his eyes puffy as he gently touched the candle in front of him, whispering softly, "It's alright, Sophie. You don't have to forgive Daddy now—I'll do my best to earn your forgiveness."Sophie was gone, and he could not make things right even if

    When Henry tried to get up, he was sweating in pain after kneeling for so long, and his hulking figure wobbled unsteadily.However, he managed to catch the door frame and steady himself so that he did not fall over, and he took some time to steady himself before limping inside.As he was led to the head priest, he said earnestly, "Father, I'd like to light a candle for my daughter, Sophie Barnes."The head priest eyed him and asked, "You're Sophie's father too?"Too?Henry did a double take, taking exception to the head priest's question, and growled, "What's that supposed to mean."That was when John stepped out with Tina, who had come to light a candle for Sophie too."Father, he's Sophie's biological father," John explained, able to tell that there had been a misunderstanding because he came with Tina.The head priest nodded and turned to Henry. "Apologies," Henry nodded in turn, but he was still upset—Sophie only ever had one father, and that was him.He watched darkly a

    Henry's lips parted, but Mrs. Smith did not let him speak—she had already said all she had to say.If he really thought he owed them, then he should just keep his distance."John," she called out, turning away.She did not want John to keep her company for a mere routine checkup and only asked for him when she was getting discharged to discern where he stood.Over the past year, she had clearly seen how serious John was about Tina, who never considered dating before Sophie was avenged.But now that Sophie was avenged, it was time that Tina settled down with John.As John came over, Mrs. Smith passed Tina's hand to John's grasp as Henry watched.John did not hesitate to hold on firmly, and Tina did not withdraw her hand either.Mrs. Smith promptly turned toward Henry, seeing his face drop as he watched John and Tina hold hands, his lips pursed and his gaze ablaze with passion and possessiveness toward Tina like never before.His whole body was stiff, and he was clearly restrain

    Once Mrs. Smith was sure that the evidence against Linda was solid, she could not stop her tears.However, she still snapped at Henry, "Swear you won't ever defend Linda! If you try to help her because of Rory or some other reason, you'll die a most painful death!"Henry was still untrustworthy in Mrs. Smith's eyes—she would not forget how he had exposed Linda initially, and then spared her because of Rory.She could guess as much even if Tina had hidden that from her, so there was no way to tell if Henry would pull the same crap again.That was when Henry said very quietly. "Rory is dead… And I'd never spare Linda because of her, even if Rory was still alive."The frown on Mrs. Smith's face eased.Even if she was kind, she felt no sympathy hearing about Rory's death.You reap what you sow, as they say.Still, Henry finally behaved like a human being as he personally had Linda jailed.Hence, mother and daughter kept sobbing in each other's arms, at once happy and endlessly mou
