Winner Takes All novel Chapter 573

“Silly guy, why do I feel that you’re acting strange?” Amber stared at Jack with her red and watery eyes.

‘Who was the person who was acting strange?’ Jack thought. Jack threw the blister pack which the pills came in into the bin and smile, “Am I? Let’s sleep. You’re pregnant. You must not leave without saying a word. You should at least let me know if you want to go out.”

“Okay, I will.” Amber nodded and wanted to help Jack back onto the bed but Jack rejected. He held onto the side of the bed and laid down on the bed by himself.

When Amber cuddled into his embrace, Jack could clearly feel that Amber kept trying to avoid looking directly at him like a child who had done something wrong.

“Good night,” Amber said softly in his embrace.

“Good night,” Jack said calmly as he continued to look towards the trash bin. He could still see the blister pack and Jack’s spirits were severely weighed down. ‘My fate… how could my fate be handled by a mysterious person?’ He thought…

…

The next day.

Jack woke up in a daze to the familiar smell of the pungent disinfectant. Jack looked in a daze at the ceiling board.

“Young Master, you had a deep sleep last night.” Mr. Ward said beside him. Jack looked to the side and saw Mr. Ward sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Mr. Ward raised his head and said, “It’s almost noon.”

“I slept for so long?” Jack’s expression changed and then slowly sat up on the bed.

The long sleep caused him to be re-energized. He then looked towards the trash bin and it was already emptied by the cleaning lady in the morning.

He looked around the room and then asked, “Where’s Amber?”

“The weather’s great and Daisy took Missus out for a stroll. Tranquility and some appropriate level of exercise are good for Missus’ health.”

Jack rubbed his nose and looked out at the beautiful weather but his mind was filled with last night’s scene. Jack felt depressed as he asked, “Mr. Ward, when I was in the capital, was there anything strange about Amber’s behavior?”

“Strange behavior?” Mr. Ward was stunned. He could hear from Jack’s tone that something was amiss and quickly asked, “Master, in which area specifically?”

“In all aspects,” Jack replied.

Mr. Ward nodded and then pondered for a moment, raised his head, and gently shook his head, “Missus was in the hospital. Brent and I were taking care of Lyndall and Lone Wolf. Daisy was taking care of Missus. There wasn’t anything abnormal.”

‘None?’ Jack doubted in his heart. He rubbed his nose and continued to be deep in thoughts. Could it be that what happened last night meant nothing at all?

Mr. Ward looked troubled as he stared at Jack. Based on his experiences, he could tell that something was wrong. He hesitated for a while before saying, “Master, there wasn’t anything strange about Missus’ behavior but why do I feel that there is something strange going on with you?”

“Nothing.” Jack came back to his senses, shook his head, and suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He stretched his back and then said, “Help me up. Let’s go and see Lyndall and Lone Wolf.”

Mr. Ward didn’t pursue the matter. He helped Jack into the wheelchair and pushed Jack to visit Lyndall and Lone Wolf.

Lone Wolf’s injuries had stabilized and well into his recovery but Lyndall’s injuries remained serious. He was entrapped in the forest for too long and then was shot. The fact that Lyndall was still alive was all due to his determination to live.
