Winner Takes All novel Chapter 282

Inside the VIP ward in the LJ Hospital was quiet.

The monitoring instruments emitted sounds in an orderly manner.

Amber covered her mouth with her hands and looked at Mr. Ward on the hospital bed with disbelief. Her eyes instantly reddened a little.

Daisy, who was accompanying Amber, was also terrified.

At that moment, Mr. Ward was lying on his stomach, still unconscious.

His back was streaked with bruises and even some open flesh. It was incomparable hideous.

"Mr. Lansing, what's going on here?"

Amber took a deep breath and looked at Director Lansing.

While calming them down, Director Lansing said, "Mr. Ward is no longer seriously injured, these injuries on his body are all caused by whipping, and the man outside who brought him to the hospital doesn't know who injured him this badly."

Whipping?!

Amber's face was pale.

Who on earth could hurt an old man this badly?

"But the person who did it was also powerful. Every inch of force was grasped with great precision. It was not aiming at Mr. Ward's life." Director Lansing couldn't help but sigh.

"Daisy, take care of Mr. Ward. I'll go ask Lone Wolf."

Amber turned around and walked out of the ward.

Mr. Ward was brought to LJ Hospital by Lone Wolf. The reason why Director Lansing was the one who called was also because he was the only one who had time just now. Lone Wolf was busy pushing Mr. Ward to the emergency room.

Now that Jack was not there, Amber told herself that she had to take responsibility for it.

Lone Wolf crouched by the corridor at the entrance in despair, his hands clutching his hair, incomparably guilty and blaming himself.

When he saw Amber, Lone Wolf hurriedly got up and said, "Miss Knight, it's my fault, I didn't protect Mr. Ward properly."

"Now is not the time to blame anyone."

Amber shook her head, "How exactly did something like that happen to Mr. Ward?"

Lone Wolf shook his head, "At noon, he told me that someone was looking for him and asked me not to follow, then he left alone."

"After waiting for almost half an hour, Mr. Ward suddenly called me to go to the hotel to take him to the hospital, and then it became like this now."

"Hotel?"

Amber frowned. Could it be that Mr. Ward "played" too far?

It was excusable that she thought of that because since Yael lived next door, there were times when she heard Jack mention Yael and Mr. Ward's "hookups".

The old body underneath was hiding an unrestrained and free feeling soul.

But... was this playing too far?

After taking a deep breath, Amber put away those thoughts, " immediately check on the security camera of the hotel."

Lone wolf said helplessly, " I checked on the surveillance as soon as I reached the hotel. A woman came out of Mr. Ward's room."

Amber was speechless.

She didn't know how to deal with it and hesitated for a while.

She took out her phone and looked at the time. Jack should be landed by that time.

It was also not suitable for a girl to deal with this kind of thing.

Amber dialed the phone and told Jack what happened so that he could come directly to the hospital.

...

When Jack arrived at the hospital with Brent, Yael, and Amelia Quinn.

Amber and Lone Wolf hurriedly welcomed them.

"Where is Mr. Ward?"

Jack's face was sullen and somewhat furious.

In the beginning, when he was in a desperate situation, it was Mr. Ward's appearance that dragged him and his mother out of the darkness.

Mr. Ward was even more of a teacher and a friend to him.

Now that something like this had happened, Jack had a fire inside his heart.

"Still in a coma, but things are a bit complicated. I think he played too far." Amber frowned.
