Winner Takes All

He ignored Yael.

Jack entered the house.

Sophie didn't know because the whole family helped Jack to cover the truth.

When she saw Jack, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You dumb boy, you keep staying in the company for so many days, you've even lost a lot of weight! Work is indeed important, but your health is more important."

"Mom, I'm fine, it's not a big deal."

Jack smiled, he looked calm and there was nothing unusual about him.

"Go have some rest, Daisy and I will call you when the dinner is ready."

Sophie just thought that Jack had been working overtime at the company for those few days, and didn't go home because he was too busy with work.

It wasn't easy for Jack to go home, so Sophie didn't want to make him tired at all.

Jack smiled as he saw his mother walked into the kitchen, he then turned around and went upstairs.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

But when Jack just walked to the head of the stairs, he heard his mother speaking from behind.

"Amber, don't tire yourself either, go and accompany Jack upstairs."

Jack staggered, he almost fell on the stairs.

Wasn't Sophie's words too direct?

"Huh? Sophie..."

Amber was surprised too.

"Just accompany him, don't over think it!" Sophie smiled like a warm and caring mother.

But Amber had already blushed.

She walked to Jack's side.

Jack smiled awkwardly, "A bit too direct, huh?"

Amber trembled, her pretty face blushed even more.

She coyly said, "Oh my, let's not talk about it and just go upstairs."

Jack was speechless.

Mr. Ward smiled helplessly as she watched Jack and Amber walked up the stairs, "Mothers are all the same in this world."

"Mr. Ward, what are you mumbling about? Come and help us!" Sophie looked serious when she said that.

Mr. Ward walked over with a smile.

Sophie rolled her eyes," Mr. Ward, don't say it if you know. Jack is already at such age, as a mother, I want to get a grandson too."

"But, Madam..." Mr. Ward felt that it was quite inappropriate.

"Oh come on, Patrick wasn't like what you said back then."

Sophie's words, made Mr. Ward speechless.

But when he gave it a thought, Jack already proposed to Amber and they're almost married.

It was not... Inappropriate, right?

In the room.

Jack slowly laid down on the bed with Amber's support.

Because that action stretched his wound, Jack couldn't help groaning in pain.

Amber felt rry when she saw that, so she complained, "Who told you to act strong and get discharged from the hospital? Now what will you do when you sleep and wake up everyday?" "Well, you're here with me."

Jack smiled.

"But I won't be here everyday." said Amber.

After saying that.

Jack suddenly pulled Amber's hand softly.

Amber screamed, lost her balance, and fell onto the bed.

In an instant, Jack's body temperature engulfed her body.

Amber instinctively wanted to get up.

But Jack wrapped her around her shoulder and hugged her tightly, "I want you to be here everyday."

Amber's eyes glistened and she looked troubled

Jack's words made her heart pound even faster, she felt restless.

"Jack..." Amber suddenly said that with a low voice.

"Dummy, I know... I won't mess around, just sleep, like this."

Jack gently said that as he softly patted Amber's back.

Previously, Amber had let Jack know that she wanted to leave the most beautiful time for her wedding day to make it the perfect day.

Thus, he respected Amber and he didn't mess around with her.

Respecting each other was the best way to maintain a relationship.

Feeling the caress on her back, Amber quickly felt sleepy.

Like a little kitten, she snuggled in Jack's embrace and slowly fell asleep.

When they woke up, it was already dark.

Amber looked up at Jack and found that Jack was looking at her.

"You already woke up some time ago?" Amber reacted after being in short daze.

"Yeah." Jack gently replied.

Amber frowned, "Then why didn't you wake me up? I keep using your arm as a pillow, it'll be very uncomfortable for you."

"What are you talking about? I'm happy that my wife can sleep on my arm."

Jack pretended to blame her, then after a pause, he said, "For so many days, you took care of me at the hospital, you had never slept fully... Since that I'm already discharged from the hospital, of course I have to make you get enough sleep."

During the time when Jack was hospitalized.

Daisy had to stay home and take care of Sophie, and she also helped them cover the truth.

Only Amber and Mr. Ward took turns to take care of him in the hospital.

As for Yael, he'd been wanting to share about his sex skills, he only visited Jack at the hospital for a while.

Amber felt sorry because Mr. Ward was old, so most of the time she was the one in the hospital.

Jack was so touched because Amber, a daughter from a wealthy family who had been living in luxury since she was young, willingly took care of him in the hospital.

"You just wanted to let me rest?"

Amber's eyes seemed deep as she closed her lips tightly.

But right after that, she suddenly said, "That's wrong, why do I think that your question is strange?"

When saying that, Amber's face quickly blushed.

Jack smiled strangely as he asked her back, "Then have you had enough sleep?"

Amber looked troubled as she closed her lips tightly, she didn't know how to reply him.

She did have enough sleep.

But Jack's gaze clearly meant that there's another meaning to "enough sleep".

In the end, Amber grumbled coyly as she struggled to break free from Jack's embrace, then she got up and said, "Let's go and have some dinner downstairs." Jack laughed, he got up and went downstairs with Amber's support.

There were television sounds coming from the living room

Sophie, Mr. Ward, and Daisy were watching the television.

"Mom, is the dinner ready?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, it's been ready for quite some time now. We're just worried that we'll disturb your rest, so we didn't call you guys." Sophie smiled as she said that. Their family sat around the dining table as they ate the dinner.

Sophie suddenly asked, "By the way, where's Brent? Why didn't he come home when you didn't, Jack?"

Jack was stunned.

Brent and Lone Wolf's condition weren't much worse than him.

So when he got discharged, he ordered them to stay in the hospital and recover well before getting discharged.

"Madam, Brent went back to the Hughes' because he had something to do." Mr. Ward quickly intercepted.

Sophie nodded and didn't ask more about it.

Jack glanced at Mr. Ward in appreciation, the atmosphere warmed up again.

While they were eating.

Suddenly, Jack's phone rang.

It was from Yael.

Jack was dumbfounded, shouldn't he be busy at that hour?

He accepted the call in suspicion.

Once the call was connected.

He suddenly heard Yael's roar from the call.

"Help, Jack, save me..."

"What happened?" Jack's expression changed drastically as he raised his voice.

Sophie and the others became silent at the same time.

There was a "bang" sound from the phone.

Yael's voice also became weak.

"Help, th-they're here, t-to kill me! I'm at..."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
