LJ Hospital.
There was a mess in front of the emergency room.
Mr. Ward, Amber Knight and Lone Wolf, together with the doctor and the nurse, pushed Yael Quinn into the emergency room.
The three were stopped outside by a nurse.
Amber’s complexion was pale, she was in a state of trepidation, and she directly collapsed on the side chair with a face full of anxiety, while Mr. Ward and Lone Wolf stood on the side.
Seeing Amber’s appearance, Mr. Ward slowly walked to the side and whispered some words of comfort to her, “Mrs. Hughes, no worries, Yael will be all right.”
Amber’s beautiful red eyes looked at him with full of tears.
Her pale lips moved, but she didn’t know what to say.
She personally experienced Yael’s last gasp, so at the moment Mr. Ward’s words of comfort seemed powerless.
“Mr. Ward, most of them ran away.”
Lone Wolf put down his cell phone and came over.
“George Hughes….”
Mr. Ward squinted his eyes and made a killer look, but it lasted just one second.
When he took a deep breath, it vanished.
He turned his head to look at the lighted red light of the emergency room.
At that moment, Mr. Ward’s eyes became turbid, as if he suddenly aged a lot.
His figure also became bent, like an old man.
In just a few days, in the Hughes family, starting from Jack and Brent, there were dramatic accidents one after another.
Mr. Ward was seventy years old, and now that he was alone holding out, he eventually became mentally and physically exhausted and he was unable to endure that exhaustion.
Jack was missing and was not found yet.
Brent just woke up.
Mr. Ward rushed into the ICU to ask what happened that night but he got very little news from Brent.
Now Amber almost had an accident again, and Yael was about to lose his life for that.
But when that day would end?
Mr. Ward’s raised his hands and rubbed his face.
His figure staggered, but fortunately, Lone Wolf supported him very quickly so that he wouldn’t fall down.
“Mr. Ward, take a rest, you are too tired.”
Lone Wolf persuaded him, frowning.
Mr. Ward smiled bitterly and shook his head, “I can still hold it. There have been so many problems in the family, if I, the old man won’t endure, what could we do?”
Lone Wolf was startled, his expression suddenly became melancholy and bitter.
He started following Jack at the earliest time, but as Jack advanced by leaps and bounds, his power became weak and the only thing he could do was to run errands and help out.
As Mr. Ward said, in the current situation, he couldn’t help much.
“If at that moment I wasn’t busy to get into the ICU to ask Brent for clues, we wouldn’t be in such a dire situation.”
Mr. Ward blamed himself and said guilty, “At least as I was here, I could have negotiated a foolproof plan with Yael.”
At that moment, Lyndall Long was coming with a wheelchair.
He glanced at Mr. Ward and smiled helplessly, “We couldn’t predict the perfect timing, everything rushed together. Nobody would have been able to handle it. Now we just hope that Yael is fine.”
As for Lyndall’s words.
Mr. Ward didn’t refute to his words; the real facts were just like Lyndall said.
Their purpose was to find Jack, they have been busy for a few days and they put all the energies on it.
Who could have imagined that moment of George’s ambush, when he suddenly showed up and kidnapped Amber?
Tomorrow and the accident, nobody would know which one comes first!
Half an hour later.
