Semua Bab Unfulfilled Last Wish: Bab 591 - Bab 600

Henry stopped in his tracks, his hand twitching as he leaned against the car door.His spirits soared, as it had been so long since Tina even showed him a whiff of concern.In the end, she still cared…However, that happiness lasted for a moment as bitterness soon swelled.After all, Henry knew very well that Tina was not being as cold and even showing concern because she was at ease, now that he had personally announced that she was a daughter of the Barnes family.In other words, he decided to stop hounding her.And not wanting Tina to notice anything strange, he fought back his bitterness and stayed composed as he turned to her. "It's nothing. I just had a nasty bump on my leg a couple days ago."Tina did not press the issue—she had asked that question before she knew it anyway, and his health did not concern her.Henry smiled mildly at her in turn and got into the car.He had barely been able to hold on earlier, and he was trembling as soon as the door shut, his breathing

Tina's eyes widened, her pupils dilating.Henry was the one who had saved her and Mrs. Smith?She still clearly remembered how violent that fire had been, and to run inside without protective clothing or a fire extinguisher to save them showed how strong their savior's desire to get them to safety was.If he did not care, would he lay down his life for their sake?Considering that and convinced that it had been John, Tina really felt touched—what reason did she have to reject a man who had been so good to her and was willing to give his life for her?But now, John was telling her that it was Henry, and not him, who had saved them and was willing to die for them.And John did not hide the other details either, as he told Tina everything his assistant had found out about Henry. "It was no bump—Henry Barnes got hurt trying to save you that night."A cupboard was going to crash down on you and him—that's why he pushed you to me while the cupboard pinned him down."As it turns out,

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

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

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
