Winner Takes All novel Chapter 621

Late at night.

In the TM Villa District, the lights were on.

Amber Knight, Daisy Hill and Vinna Vaughn were sitting in the living room.

Every now and then, all three were looking upstairs.

Mr. Ward and Yael Quinn were both in Jack’s study.

For three days, always like this.

Mobilizing all the strengths at their disposal, they were frantically searching for Jack’s whereabouts.

They had to sit in front of a computer all the time, skimming over all the intelligence information that was being sent from everywhere.

For Mr. Ward and Yael, that round-the-clock work was a physical and mental suffering.

But for the three of them, who was not so?

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs.

“They are coming down, I will bring the soup”, Ms. Hill said, and she quickly got up and headed for the kitchen.

Amber cast a worried glance at Ms. Hill and bit her red lips.

She had been worrying about Jack for three days, and also Ms. Hill, wasn’t she always feeling anxious about Brent in the ICU?

But she has always tried to suppress her emotions to manage that family.

“Amber, I, I suddenly found myself so useless...” Vinna suddenly said, “I wasn’t able to give a help in such a serious situation, Ciara Wattson could still use her connections to help the investigation, but I could only rely on my own family”, she added, blaming herself.

“It’s okay!”, Amber said, shaking her head and looking at Vinna’s tired but still self-reproaching face. She unconsciously hugged Vinna. “With Yael and the others here, it will be all right. Jack will surely come back, and also Brent will be safe as well.”

At that point, Mr. Ward and Yael finally dragged their exhausted bodies downstairs.

Both of them had bloodshot eyes, and their haggard appearance made their faces look extremely pale.

Especially Mr. Ward, when going downstairs, was so tired that he stood unsteadily, completely relying on Yael’s support.

Amber looked at their appearance and took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse to immediately ask for clues, soothed to them, “Eat your soup and have a rest”.

She knew that in these three days since the accident of Jack and Brent, the whole family had been running at full time, and for Mr. Ward it meant burning his life.

Everyone had already done that step, and she didn’t complain at all.

On the contrary, as Jack’s wife, she should calm everyone down at this time. If even she was in a hurry and panic, she could only make everyone more anxious.

Yael helped Mr. Ward sit down on the sofa.

Ms. Hill brought chicken soup, a bowl for each of them. They ate it straight up.

Mr. Ward wiped the corners of his mouth and, shaking the head solemnly to Amber, “Still have no clue”

That sentence made Amber’s heart sink instantly to the bottom.

Her eyes became red and she clenched her teeth around the lips.

In the living room, the atmosphere was heavy.

Quiet and silence.

Mr. Ward and all the others looked at Amber worriedly.

As witnesses of Jack and Amber’s relationship, they could all realize how anxious she felt in her heart at this time.

What’s more, now Amber was pregnant, and she could not bear that suffering.

A few seconds later, Amber slowly raised her head and forced a smile, “Okay, everyone is tired now. Let’s have a rest tonight”

What?!

Mr. Ward, Yael and all the others there were stunned.

“People are not made of iron. If both you and Yael, continue to endure like this, your bodies will have problem before you can find Jack”

Amber got up slowly, while Ms. Hill and Vinna hurriedly held her by the side. She was always restraining herself and, with a forced smile, soothed everyone, “Now the whole family is counting on you two to find Jack, if you both fail, what will happen to the three ladies of us?”
