Chapter 405

Author: Angelica1
As Tina trusted Jimmy, she did not keep her feelings bottled up and leaned on his shoulder as she sobbed softly, "Jimmy, I'm really scared… It's just like what happened to Sophie…"

"No." Jimmy promptly stopped her. "Your mother's definitely going to be fine."

As Henry heard the mention of Sophie while standing nearby, his heart clenched, pain showing in his eyes.

Nonetheless, it was soon over ten hours since the surgery started, and it was still going on.

Even as night arrived, the trio remained outside the operating room.

They did not have an appetite in the afternoon, but Henry ordered some food as evening arrived.

Tina really still did not feel like eating.

Henry knew that reasoning would not work on her.

And while he could just force her to eat, he could not bear to do it either.

He turned to give Jimmy a look.

Although Jimmy was on Tina's side and hated Henry, he had to cooperate for Tina's sake.

He walked up, took a lunchbox, and sat beside Tina as he opened it.

    As John's face inched closer to Tina's, their breaths tangled.However, he stopped before his lips touched hers, restraining himself even as he stared at the lips barely inches away.His breath turned unsteady as he could not help gulping, but he eventually contented himself with just a kiss on Tina's forehead.It was a gentle peck, and he pulled away soon after.It was not as if he did not desire Tina—if anything, he wanted her very badly.However, he wanted Tina to be conscious for their first kiss.Rain started pouring on the way back, but it did not wake Tina up even as they returned to Maple Park.Seeing that Tina was still sound asleep, John sent the chauffeur away and did not wake her up. Since her feet may get uncomfortable from hampered circulation, he helped her into a comfortable position and picked up his tablet to get some work done.He looked up at her from time to time, his gaze tender as he waited for her to wake up.-Meanwhile, Norman Gates was visiting He

    After Henry's fever broke, Henry's consciousness cleared.As he opened his muddled eyes, he picked up a familiar scent aside from the usual smell of medicine in the hospital.It was Tina.He was not dreaming—she had really come.His head jerking up, he looked around and found her standing with her back to him, talking to the doctor.As the rim of his eyes reddened, and tears welled up in his eyes, he stared at her greedily.Then, when she turned, he promptly closed his eyes so that she did not notice he was awake.After all, he did not want her to leave right away…While Andy committed the doctors' instructions to memory, Tina turned to him and said, "I'll be going now. I still have work to do."She had no intention to stay anyway, and as she spoke, she walked to the bedside drawer to get her handbag.However, a hand reached down and caught her wrist before she could get it. She stared at her hand and shoved but could not free herself.She eventually looked up at Henry, wh

    Tina's face dropped, and she quickly turned away before their lips touched, avoiding Henry's kiss.His scalding lips hence pressed against her cheek instead."Tina…" He then rasped beside his ear, every syllable filled with tenderness.However, Tina did not fall for the emotions he laid bare while he was delirious.In fact, her first reaction was to struggle against his touch.Nonetheless, she remembered the extent of his injuries when she helped him get changed, and she fought back her anger to snap coolly into his ear, "Let go of me, Henry Barnes."Even so, Henry remained delirious from his fever—he was now a creature of instinct.And even though she could vaguely hear Tina, he could not distinguish dreams from reality.In reality, he had to let go.But in his heart, he was reluctant—how could he, when he had already decided that she was the one back when he had only been ten?On top of that, he could not think—his will was at its weakest because of his fever, and so, he fo

    That was when Andy asked tentatively, "Ms. Smith, Mr. Barnes clothes are soaked through… May I ask you to help him change?"Henry's fever might get worse if he stayed in those drenched clothes, but he refused to let anyone touch him despite being delirious.Tina knew Henry since she was eight and was naturally well aware that this was one of his eccentricities.Only Madam Barnes got to touch Henry, and Tina was later afforded the same privilege.That privilege was why she considered herself special, and she gave her heart to him before she knew it.And she could not help falling ever deeper in love with him, until Linda showed up…Nonetheless, she said quietly just then, "Sure."Andy sighed in relief and quickly brought a set of fresh patient garb. "Thank you, Ms. Smith. I'll be right outside—just call me if anything happens.""Okay."Seeing Tina nod, Andy headed out and closed the door behind him.Tina sighed as she stared at Henry.They had been together for five years and

    It was not as if Tina did not know that Henry had hurt Tina so much that there was no fixing things between them.However, he could not just stand by and watch Henry suffer without lifting a finger.Keeping his tone soft, he kept pleading to Tina, "Please, can you come visit? He did get hurt saving you and your mother, and he's been calling your name ever since he became delirious. He really wants you to be by his side…"Tina's fingers clenched around her phone, but she remained silent.That was when Mrs. Smith called out from the doorway, "Tina…"Tina looked up, unable to hide the emotion behind her gaze.Seeing everything, Mrs. Smith went over and pulled her phone out of her grasp and told the hysterical Andy on the other end, "Tina will be there soon."And with that, she hung up."Mom?!"Tina was surprised that Mrs. Smith agreed to it.She knew very well what her mother thought of Henry—Mrs. Smith wanted Tina to be with John while Henry stayed well away and not have anythi

    It was already one in the morning.However, although Tina had gotten in bed and turned off the lights at eleven, she was tossing and turning, not feeling sleepy at all.She opened her eyes and sat up—it had been a while since she lost sleep, so she took out the melatonin pills that she had yet to finish from the drawer.Still, before she took one, her phone glowed on top of the bedside drawer.It was a call from an unidentified number, but she seemed to have a feeling who it was as she picked up. "Who's this?""Ms. Smith? It's me, Andy Cox."Andy was standing outside Henry's ward, watching as the man writhed in his burning fever.His voice cracking with emotion, he told Tina, "Mr. Barnes is in really bad shape, and he fainted on the way to the hospital. His fever just isn't breaking even after the doctors tried everything… So would you mind coming to visit?""I'm not a doctor. I can't help him," Tina replied indifferently, although her fingers clenched around her phone."Pleas
