Nonetheless, as Henry saw her open her eyes, he growled, "Is it that difficult to ask for my help?"

All she had to do was ask, and the cops wouldn't have arrested her in the first place!

Tina's expression turned cool right then.

Her cheeks didn't hurt that much with the ointment and a bath, but every moment she experienced in the lockup could well be burned into her mind's eye.

And now, he was saying that just because she didn't beg him for help, she deserved everything that happened there?

Shoving his hand off firmly, Tina's expression was apathetic as she snorted, "I am willing to ask anyone for help except you. Quit shoving your fake sympathy at me—I don't need it."

Henry's expression fell. "Can't you see things clearly for once?!"

"Oh, am I not?"

Tina chuckled coolly, her smile not reaching her eyes as she retorted, "So just because you offered me both carrot and stick, I should be awash with gratitude?"

"What happened at the lockup wasn't my intention," Henry suddenly sai

  • Unfulfilled Last Wish   Chapter 575

    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

    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
