Winner Takes All novel Chapter 706

Beep… Beep…

The steady sound of the heart rate monitor was heard.

The green waves rose and fell steadily on the screen.

This was the only sound in the ward.

The air was filled with the heavy smell of sterilized medicine.

At the moment, there were people in front of the bed of the ward.

Jack Hughes sat in the wheelchair and held Amber Knight’s left hand and placed it beside his lips while leaning on the side of the bed.

His eyes were red and teary.

He looked gentle but his teary eyes looked determined.

This scene made Mr. Ward and Daisy Hill slightly feel at ease.

This was the biggest change on Jack’s face since yesterday night.

His face turned from an extremely cold look to a gentle look.

This change was normal for ordinary people.

However, it was a huge change for Jack who could go bewitched.

This was because a person’s mind who could go bewitched could be changed by a person.

Amber was the only person who had the power to let Jack change.

Lyndall Long and the others were waiting at the side.

Vinna Vaughn’s white teeth bit her red lips while she held her hands tightly together. Tears could be seen in her eyes as if she was cheering for Amber.

The mysterious man still casually sat in front of the windowsill while holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.

Creak…

The door of the ward opened.

Director Lansing who hadn’t slept all night and was tired walked in with a pair of panda eyes.

Seeing so many people standing in the ward, he slightly frowned but didn’t say much. He walked behind Jack.

His right hand gently patted on Jack’s shoulder, “Relax. It is already fine. Luckily, you made the decision fast enough at the time. Everyone felt sorry about your child’s matter. Please forgive Mr. Lansing for my attitude at that time. As a medical staff, even though I am Amber’s uncle, I couldn’t make a decision for her.”

“Only you as her husband could make this decision.”

Jack turned his head and smiled, “I know that Mr. Lansing had worked hard on it.”

Although Jack was smiling, Mr. Ward and Daisy could notice the big difference between his smile now and in the past.

However, they noticed it because they had known that Jack could go bewitched.

In fact, Jack’s smile had not changed much for the others.

Director Lansing sighed and felt heartbroken while looking at Amber on the bed.

Only he knew about how much danger Amber had encountered last night.

As her uncle, he felt heartbroken.

However, he clearly knew that since Amber had made her choice to stay with Jack, then she, as Jack’s wife, would have to bear the risks that Jack faced together.

It was an inevitable fact!

“Mr. Lansing, when would Amber wake up?” Jack asked.

“She should be able to wake up today. We had done the operation quickly so she wouldn’t be in more danger.”

Director Lansing stopped for a while. He then said, “I have already informed Steve and his wife about Amber’s matter without asking for your permission. They are Amber’s biological parents. They should be told about this serious matter. Now, they are ready to rush towards here.”

Upon hearing that.

Mr. Ward and the others’ expressions changed a lot.

Yet, Jack nodded, “Thank you, Mr. Lansing. Even if Mr. Lansing didn’t tell Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight, I would still inform them when Amber is awake.”

This was not only a matter between the two of them.

It was a matter between the three families.

Amber was Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight’s treasured and cherished daughter. She had been loved and cherished by them since young. After she was pregnant, not only he and his father, Patrick Hughes, were looking forward to their baby to born, Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight were looking forward to it too.

Now there was such a serious matter. It was definitely shocking bad news for the three families.

It would be the greatest disrespect if he didn’t inform them.

After waiting for a while, Jack said, “Mr. Lansing, you had worked hard all night. Go back and have a rest first. I will stay here with her.”

Director Lansing nodded and didn’t talk anymore. He felt heartbroken as he looked at Amber. Then, he turned and left.

After that.

Jack looked at Mr. Ward and the others.

After the whole night of fighting, luckily Mr. Ward and Daisy were not seriously injured and they were fine after bandaging. However, they had been suffering and staying up the whole night, their body should be greatly drained.

He was about to ask everyone to go home and rest.

The mysterious man who had been casually sitting on the windowsill simply walked towards the door of the ward.

“The things have been settled down. I should leave now.”

Jack looked at the mysterious man coldly.

Mr. Ward and the others also looked at him.

“Where are you going?” Jack asked.

“Obviously I am going to hide in the darkness. It is not good for me to stay under the sunlight.”

The mysterious man didn’t stop his step and his voice was hoarse.

Jack asked coldly, “Aren’t you going to reveal your real face to me?”

“The reason I hide in the darkness and purposely disguise my whole body is the same. I couldn’t stay under the sunlight for too long.”

The mysterious man said the words and directly opened the door of the ward and left.

Jack frowned and his face looked extremely cold.

He coldly looked at the door of the ward for a few seconds. Then, he finally came back to his senses and looked at Mr. Ward and the others.

“Everyone had worked hard all night. Go home and take a rest. I will stay here alone.”

“Young master, it is not difficult for me. I will accompany young master.”

Mr. Ward rejected first. As a family servant, he was sent to assist Jack by Patrick. However, such a serious matter had happened, he couldn’t absolve himself from the blame.

It was a serious crime as they had lost their child!

“Jack, I am not tired too. I want to wait for Amber to wake up.”

“Mr. Hughes, I am also not tired. This night was nothing for me. When I was still a killer, there were more suffering scenarios. Please let me stay here.”

“Mr. Hughes…”

“Jack…”

Everyone didn’t want to leave.

However, Jack said coldly, “Are you all not listening to my words?”

The question immediately made the temperature of the ward drop dramatically.

Everyone’s expression changed a lot, especially Mr. Ward and Daisy. Their hearts beat vigorously.

“I am guarding my own wife. You all go back to sleep. You still have a lot of things to do. Yael and Brent are still in the ICU. Do you forget about it?”

Jack’s voice was cold and it didn’t give the others any chance to rebut.

Mr. Ward hurriedly nodded and agreed with him, “Young master is right. We will go back to rest. Young master, please stay at ease to take care of Mrs. Hughes. We will take care of the rest of the matter.”

As Mr. Ward turned and left.

Daisy, Lyndall, Lone Wolf also turned their bodies.

Vinna Vaughn’s eyes were teary as she looked at Amber who was still in a coma on the bed of the ward. She hesitated for a while but she still turned and left.

There were only Jack and Amber in the ward in the blink of an eye.

Jack’s face that looked cold slowly became gentle.

It was like an iceberg that was melting. The way he looked at Amber was so gentle.

He leaned on the side of the bed. His hands held Amber’s left hand again and placed it beside his lips. He murmured with a low voice, “Dummy, I am sorry.”

When he said that, he gently raised his right hand and carefully moved the few hairs on Amber’s forehead back to her ears.

Looking at Amber’s pale face and frowned eyebrows.

Jack felt extremely heartbroken.

Tears quietly flowed down from the corners of his eyes.

He forcefully let the others leave because he didn’t want them to see the look when he was crying.

As a husband and a father.

It was a difficult night for him.

Even though he was strong and firm, his heart was already full of injuries and blood.

Did he feel no pain?

That was a lie!

He was in more pain than anyone else. He wanted to cry more than anyone else.

Suddenly.

Jack was stunned.

His hands that held Amber’s left hand tightly could clearly feel that Amber’s left fingers gently moved.
