Henry then told Andy, "Tell Orange Tower to send it here.""Yes, Mr. Barnes," Andy replied and hurried downstairs to personally escort Tina to Henry's office.Before Tina spoke, Henry kept working as he said, "Twenty minutes."Tina scowled but sat on the couch.Twenty minutes later, Andy knocked on the door, then entered with the takeout from Orange Tower and put it on the dining table before leaving.Henry put down his pen, stood up, and told Tina, "Let's talk over some food.""Don't waste my time, Henry Barnes," Tina snapped.Henry said nothing and sat by the dining table, clearly not going to talk unless she ate.Tina went over and sat opposite Henry."Try this," Henry said, passing her a fish cutlet.Tina actually noticed as soon as she reached the table that everything was her favorite—Henry actually made an effort.In those five years, having him eat with her and Sophie was but a pipe dream.But now, she smirked as she met Henry gaze, finding his behavior utterly laug

Tears welled up in Tina's eyes, her hands shaking repeatedly as she took the notice of critical condition from a nurse.It was deja vu—she was once again caught in that moment two years ago, when Sophie was rushed to the ER and the doctor issued a notice of critical condition, and her heart broke in despair.She signed it… and Sophie was gone.Now, Tina was afraid to take the pen held out to her at all.Henry took it and glanced at Yancy. "Keep going."Yancy nodded and returned inside the ER to operate on Mrs. Smith."She's going to be alright, Tina," Henry said quietly to comfort her again.She used to trust that voice of his the most.Even if she had buried that trust deep within her heart, now that her mental state was at its most vulnerable, she had to admit that Henry's voice did offer her some emotional support.Tina bit her lip and took the pen, signing her name on the notice of critical condition with much difficulty.As the nurse left with the notice, Tina felt like

Mrs. Smith refused to let Tina stay and watch her for the night, because Tina would not be able to get any proper rest at the hospital.Tina's health had failed terribly, especially in the year she was recovering from her depression.That was when Jimmy Jones trained her in self-defense: mixed martial arts, boxing, Taekwondo, and the like.Her physique improved, but her health did not recover that easily, and the doctors had advised her to focus on a full recovery, which could take up to five years.That was why Mrs. Smith would keep both eyes on Tina's sleep cycles—that was a basic necessity to good health."Okay." Tina nodded, knowing that staying would just worry her mother and affect her rest.Before she left, she left some instructions with Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Smith's care worker, thanking her for staying outside the ER before she arrived earlier.She also quietly slid Mrs. Fuller a small envelope.Seeing that there was money to be had, Mrs. Fuller was immediately assuring t

[Be a good girl and don't piss me off.]Tina's eyes went red with rage. "You mean Henry Barnes? You're refusing to operate on my mother just because he told you otherwise?! We're talking about a person's life here! Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"Yancy pursed his lips in silence, but he could well admit that he would not operate on Mrs. Smith unless Henry said otherwise.Seeing that she could not reason with him and more words were pointless, Tina turned and left, heading downstairs and calling John."Yeah?" John answered instantly.Tina could not stop her tears as soon as she heard his voice. "Yancy Sandler's refusing to operate on my mother because Henry told him not to!""Calm down. I'm coming over right now," John assured her.He knew that Yancy was Eric Sandler's younger brother, and that Eric was basically a brother to Henry too.That should not have been a problem—that was if John never gave Henry too much credit. The man was using Mrs. Smith's life to coerce Tina into

Tina started hacking worriedly, and Henry's face dropped and patted her back.Tina pushed him away, however, and rushed into the washroom, coughing and throwing up.There was not much in her stomach, so there was not much vomit, but it hurt nonetheless.It took a while for it to stop, and she straightened herself to find Henry standing at the doorway, holding a warm towel in one hand and a glass of warm water in the other."Rinse your mouth," he said—there would definitely be a bad taste in her mouth from vomiting.Tina remained impassive as she took the glass, chugged it, and rinsed her mouth.Henry stepped up, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, and asked quietly, "Do you have to behave like this? Can't you just get along with me?"All he wanted was for things to go back to the way they were, and he would give her what she used to want, bit by bit.Tina looked up at him and spat the water in her mouth all over his face.He was suggesting that time could heal everyt
