Winner Takes All novel Chapter 40

At this moment, the air seemed to be frozen. It was really embarrassing.

Amber face changed in an instant. She didn’t expect that they would meet Katherine in the hospital.

Jack squinted coldly at the thermos she held as if he recalled something bad.

Over the past three years, Katherine had never worried about Sophie since she was seriously ill. But now she changed her attitude by taking good care of Sophie.

After all, Sophie was Katherine’s mother-in-law before.

However, Jack understood that the Parry family had never regarded him and Sophie as their relatives. Katherine took the money that he intended to use to cure his mother just for Tommy’s down payment of a new house. So it seemed nothing special that she had never worried about Sophie.

Katherine looked at Amber blankly.

If they hadn’t met with each other in the hospital, she wouldn’t have known Amber had come back.

But she just couldn’t accept that Amber was staying with Jack here.

Katherine stepped to Amber and Jack, and asked Amber, "When did you come back? Why don’t you tell me?"

"Katherine, I just came back yesterday," Amber said.

Katherine’s eyes quickly turned red. She raised her finger at Jack’s nose and said to Amber, "So why are you with him?"

"Katherine…" Amber said with a dark face, "You are my friend. So is Jack. After returning home, of course, I must visit Sophie first. It’s normal, right?"

"It’s not normal."

Katherine felt aggrieved with red eyes, but still gritted her teeth and stubbornly kept her head up, "I am your friend. Because of me, you can make friends with Jack."

She felt like she was betrayed by Amber.

Amber returned home, staying with Jack here.

What the hell was that?

"You finished? If you finish, we’re going." Jack said with a cold face. He didn’t even want to argue with Katherine for it was a waste of time.

He took Amber’s hand and wanted to leave.

But when they passed by Katherine, she exploded.

What the hell?

‘Why would the man I divorced be with my former best friend?’

"Let go of your hand!" Katherine shouted as she separated their hands and slapped Jack on his face.

Pa!

"Katherine, are you crazy?"

Shocked, Amber gently fondled Jack’s cheek, "Let’s go. Don’t argue with her."

But Katherine seemed to be crazy. She violently grabbed Amber’s hand.

"Don’t you come to see Sophie? I’m your friend, too. My mom also leaves in here. Why don’t you see my mom?"

Then she dragged Amber to Elissa’s ward violently.

Bang!

Katherine pushed the door open.

Kieran, Elissa and Tommy were all shocked as they saw Katherine crying.

But when seeing Jack holding Amber’s hand, Tommy burst into anger and shouted, "Jack, how dare you bully Katherine? Fuck, I’ll beat you to death."

"Tommy, he bullied Katherine. Beat him hard and kick him outta here." Elissa roared with her face distorted with anger.

Amber was so scared when he saw Tommy coming to her.

Just then Jack came up and dragged Amber behind him. He said angrily to Tommy,

"You’re such a loser. You want to hit me?"

Tommy stopped subconsciously. He was shorter than Jack. And he had been spoiled since he was a child. He didn’t have the gut to fight against Jack.

He pulled Katherine over and asked, "Katherine, does this coward bully you?"

Katherine had been crying for a while. Her face was covered with tears and she couldn’t say something.
