Chapter 25

Author: Angelica1
There was no doubt that Linda knew Sophie was dead, but she kept mentioning her around Tina.

If anything, Tina was dead sure that Linda planned this call, deliberately choosing the day of Sophie's funeral for some bullshit party.

It was also to brag to Tina that Henry loved Rory, and not her darling Sophie!

Even when Sophie was alive, Linda had used Henry's absolute affection for herself and Rory to hurt Sophie as much as she could. And they weren't letting up even after she was gone!

Such humiliation and insults… Linda was truly savage!

"Hello? Are you listening, Tina?"

Meanwhile, Linda's voice remained sickly sweet, leaving Tina absolutely disgusted.

Even so, she sneered as she answered, "Sure."

And with that, she hung up, kissing the photo of Sophie on the tombstone before she got up.

"It's alright, Sophie. I won't let you suffer anymore."

Meanwhile, at Saint Holden Hotel, Linda's smile stiffened when Tina told her "Sure".

She was actually surprised that Tina would co

    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

    However, Tina did not care for the rest of Henry's explanation—all she cared was that Zach had handed over evidence against Linda, and that it was given to the police.With the solid proof against her, Linda was not getting away this time—she would be punished by law.And with this, Sophie and Madam Barnes' souls could rest in peace.Unable to stifle her swelling emotions, Tina hung her head, cupping her hand over her mouth as her tears rained, landing audibly on the floor.Still, she was crying silently.Ever since she learned that Linda had manufactured the events leading to Sophie's death, she constantly ran into roadblocks on her path to avenge her daughter.Even as scenes of the past remained in her mind, her daughter finally found justice after being buried for almost three years.That was over a thousand sleepless nights, as Tina could not sleep and did not feel an appetite whenever she remembered that Linda had murdered Sophie and Madam Barnes but got off scot-free.Eve

    Before the nurse could finish, Linda suddenly snatched the scalpel out of her hand and pressed it against her jugular, growling viciously, "Be quiet. I've already killed three people—I don't mind adding another to my body count."The nurse turned pale, horrified as Linda was glaring at her murderously and might come good on her threat."Just calm down…" the nurse breathed softly, her lips trembling.She really did not want to die, as her boyfriend had just proposed to her after a relationship full of trials and tribulations.With that, Linda beckoned for her to help her to the wheelchair, and the nurse wheeled her out of another exit, since the cops were watching the front.All Linda wanted was to flee—even if she would be a wanted criminal, she had options, like stowing away on a boat to leave the country.She simply refused to sit and wait.And when they were close enough to the hospital entrance, Linda knocked out the nurse.She steered her wheelchair forward, keeping her he

    After leaving the family graveyard, Henry was about to look for Tina to tell her Linda had been arrested when Yancy called."The cops were transporting Linda when she went into shock from blood loss," he quickly told Henry. "They rushed Linda to the ER in my hospital. It doesn't look good."Henry's expression darkened in response. "Save her at all costs.""Got it. I'll call in the specialist group ."Yancy was calling to probe Henry's intention, to see if he should call for the specialists' help.After hanging up, he turned to find Tina standing no more than a few feet away, and she must have overheard their conversation.Yancy became flustered right then. "Ms. Smith…?"He knew that Henry had mistaken his one true love whom he had obsessed over since he was ten, who was actually Tina.But although Henry had been doing his best to make things right, this conversation would only lead Tina to believe that Henry was still into Linda, sending in a group of specialists just to save L

    Linda did not close her eyes even as he stabbed the knife toward herself, holding Henry's gaze with a look of utter glee.After all, she was going to ruin the life of the man she loved so much even before she died!However, there was heartrending pain behind those eyes too, as the love of her life really hated her now and wanted her dead.But amid the myriad of emotions, the pain never came.The knife was aimed true at her heart but stopped short.Linda's eyes lit up, and she blurted before she knew it, "You can't bring yourself to kill me? Deep down, you still love me, don't you?""Heh," Henry chuckled coolly, his eyes frosty as he turned the knife and pressed it against her gruesome wounds. "I simply refuse to dirty my hands."Who did she think she was, trying to bring him down to her level?Sure, he wanted her to rest in pieces, but it still was not worth dirtying his hands with her blood.Moreover, death would be letting her off easy."Provocations won't work with me, Lin

    Henry really did not care what happened to her.If he did, would he have forced her to stay conscious while Zach kept torturing her?"Argh!!!" Linda screamed at the top of her lungs in anguish, even as physical pain left her shuddering endlessly.Realizing that Zach and Henry had no intention of letting her leave alive, she would rather rot in some jail than die in agony!As long as it was not a life sentence, she would be able to survive, even leave on parole.However, she was going to die instead…Linda's eyes were welling up with tears as he watched Henry leave, and she realized that if she died, Sophie would have been avenged, and Henry would have nothing to stop him from wooing Tina again. Considering how in love that bitch had been with Henry for so many years, if Henry went all out, there was no way she would refuse to take him back!Just the thought of Tina getting back together with Henry after she died would leave her rolling in her grave.No. If she could not have

    When Rory was alive, Linda had used her like a tool to achieve her own ends.Even after Rory was dead, she was still doing the same."Argh!" Linda screamed in agony as Zach's knife slowly dug into her flesh.This time, he did not pause for a single moment, as he was bent on making Linda hurt a millionfold for everytime she hurt Rory.Each cut was deep, and when he was done, he started to peel off the skin on her back, piece by piece… Soon, her back was a gruesome mess.Her clothes were already soaked in blood trickling down, and Linda wished she were dead.As she was left hanging in the air, she could feel her life draining out of her.She kept begging Zach for mercy until her voice was hoarse, but Zach completely ignored her.But amid her despair, she saw a towering figure appearing out of nowhere.Even if the pain was clouding her vision, she immediately recognized Henry anyway, and she called out before she knew it, "Henry… Save me… Zach is going to kill me…"She could f
