Smack!Tina slapped Henry across the face furiously, cutting him short while her chest heaved with rage.He was really blind—Mrs. Fuller had already made herself so clear, and he would still defend Linda!He already mindlessly protected Linda even after she murdered Sophie two years ago, and now, he was still doing the same after Linda almost killed her mother, leaving her a vegetable!To him, Sophie and Mrs. Smith's lives were trivial—only Linda mattered!The more Tina was reminded of Sophie's senseless death and her mother being comatose, the more furious she was!A slap was certainly not enough.Her eyes red, she started punching Henry's body, leaving him frowning and grabbing her wrists to stop her. "Just calm down for now, Tina."Now was not the time to be rash.He had many questions that needed answering."Calm down?!" Tina bellowed. "Linda has already murdered Sophie, and now, she has left my mom a vegetable! And you're telling me to calm down?! My mom must have been b

Linda's eyes lit up at Henry's quiet response—he trusted her.But before she could get all smug about it, Henry continued, "If it really wasn't you, the cops will maintain your innocence once their investigation is complete."When he told Tina that they could not believe Mrs. Fuller entirely to pin the crime on Linda, he did not say it to protect Linda—Mrs. Fuller did not produce solid evidence that proved it was Linda.But he would not stop the cops getting involved, and he would not protect Linda if her guilt was proven.Linda's eyes widened in disbelief. "Henry… You don't believe me?"Henry shook his head. "I believe you. But if it really wasn't you, why would you be worried?"The cops will uncover the truth and prove it wasn't you. And when Tina understands that it wasn't you, she won't get to keep accusing you!"Linda's heart skipped a beat, holding Henry's gaze with a look of grief as she sobbed, "Why would I be worried? I didn't do it! It's not like I'm upset that the cop

As Linda vomited, she also coughed out the dirty rag from her mouth, and it landed on herself along with her own vomit."Argh!"But as Linda screamed hysterically, the dirty rag was shoved into her open mouth again, stopping her from yelling or calling for help.Various colors alternated over Linda's face—she could not stand such disgust and retched again.She shook her head repeatedly as well, trying to get the rag out.This time, the woman shoved the rag deep, blocking her vomit completely.Linda was left spasming in misery, almost passing out from sheer disgust, and could die right then!At that point, the pride she carried at the start was completely gone.She leveled a tearful, pleading look at the moment, her tone muffled but clearly apologetic.But it was too late—and on top of that, the damsel in distress trick worked with men but only invoked disgust in other women.And to no surprise, the woman glared at Linda hatefully as she kicked her to the floor, snorting in di

Tina clenched her knuckles as she fought against her rage and retorted against the officer, "Mrs. Fuller said it herself. It was Linda—""We've interrogated Mrs. Fuller too," the officer replied patiently. "It turns out to be mere speculation on her part, and she's never met Ms. Cook personally."When your mother fell down the stairs, she saw you accuse Ms. Cook, so she presumed that it was Ms. Cook who had contacted her."That was why she blamed Ms. Cook after she was caught red-handed, but her contact was Zach Foster all along."While Tina knew that the police investigation only went that far, Linda getting with it again left her absolutely discontent."Please, officer," Tina pleaded. "This can't be the whole truth—don't close the case so soon! Keep pressing Zach and try to find more evidence."He's not the culprit. He has no quarrel with my mother, it has to be Linda—""Tina Smith! Don't you blame Linda for everything!!!" Zach suddenly bellowed in agitation despite having sta

After Zach was taken away, the case was closed.Weary in body and spirit, Tina refused to look at Henry or Linda twice. "John, let's go back to the hospital.""Okay," John replied, putting a hand over her shoulder and leading her outside.Tina did not push him away, leaning against him intimately.Henry's gaze darkened.Just seeing that really stung his eyes, and he was ready to stride forward to pull Tina away from John and into his arms.Still, he just took one step and paused, as he remembered that Linda was still there.Linda saw it anyway.However, she fought back her jealousy, as if she never noticed that Tina had Henry's attention.Tugging on Henry's hand, she asked meekly, "Can you help me with the paperwork, Henry?""Yeah," Henry replied quietly and turned away from Tina as he went with an officer to help Linda with the paperwork for her release.Linda watched and waited until he was out of sight, then turned back toward Tina, not hiding the flaring jealousy in her
