Winner Takes All novel Chapter 482

Even though the tones and words were mild.

They were spoken with indescribable determination and conviction.

When he was confronted with despair, and on the verge of death, his most intimate desire was to be back with Amber Knight and the baby.

Now that he had calmed down and had accepted his reality, his topmost concern was their welfare and safety.

“Death does not matter to me, as long as she is well.” Jack shook his head.

Meanwhile, Rena was secretly crying to herself, tears were falling down her face.

‘Then what about me?’

‘Does that mean that I … deserved it?’

She bit down on her red lips, to curb herself from crying aloud.

She bit herself so hard, that her teeth had cut her lips, such that her lips started bleeding.

‘With that kiss, you pushed her away, but you got me deeply entangled in a predicament.’

Instinctively she lowered her head, looking at Jack through her teary eyes.

She found Jack was holding the trousers tightly, the veins on the back of his hand were clearly seen, he was trembling.

Out of the blue, her expression brightened up.

Her misery suddenly dissipated.

She encouraged, “You’ll be able to stand again, you’ll definitely return to her in glory. By that time, I can help you to explain it to her. Yes, I’m sure of it.”

Jack smiled faintly, while quietly loosening his trousers with both his hands.

They arrived at the courtyard next to Isaac residence.

Rena carefully prepared the bedspread, then helped Jack get into bed before preparing to leave.

Just when she was at the door.

She heard Jack’s voice from behind.

“Thank you for what you did earlier, you have sacrificed.”

“Oh no, not at all! I’m glad to help.”

Rena turned around and replied to Jack with a bright smile.

Whereupon she proceeded to leave.

Sitting in bed, Jack pondered with a frozen expression.

Rena’s smile felt sharp like a needle to him, it pricked his heart!

Slap!

Jack gave himself a tight slap.

How could she be glad to help?

“I owed you so much …”

Rena was just a short distance away from Jack’s room, she could no longer contain her emotions.

Her tears flowed freely, as she burst out weeping passionately.

She pushed open the door to her room, shut it behind her, and leaned on the closed door. In time, she slid lower and lower, from the standing position and finally crashed down on the floor.

“You only have her in your mind, why don’t you ever spare a thought for me?”

Her sobs echoed in her room. Rena grabbed her hair in desperation, she was in a most miserable plight.

In this instant, there was not a trace of her previous elegant demeanour and style.

After crying for what seemed like a long time, she sat dejectedly in front of her dressing table.

Looking at her scattered hair, and her face was full of tears.

She smiled dolefully at her reflection, “Rena Yales, when did you become so piteous and miserable over a man?”

Thump, thump.

Knocking sounds against the door rapped through the air.

Rena panicked. She quickly wiped off her tears and put on a pretence that nothing had happened.

“Coming!”

She opened the door.

The sight of Carlos Juan Yales caused her a little fright, “Grandpa, what made you come here?”

“My granddaughter has become so miserable, how could I possibly not come?”

The sullen-looking Carlos gave the impression of a male lion suppressing its rage, he stepped into the room slowly.

Rena closed the door. She smiled gently, “I’m fine.”
