Winner Takes All novel Chapter 691

Now that it was autumn, dawn came much later.

Jack had awoken early while it was still dim outside.

He strictly controlled his daily routine and never allowed himself to slack off in the slightest.

Since he was still pretending to be disabled, he couldn’t go outside to train.

The only thing he could do instead was to stay at home on his wheelchair and train his upper body strength.

Until now the mess had turned worse and worse.

This sometimes made him feel very oppressed, but the harder he worked then the greater chance he would have, to overcome any of the crises in the future.

This was because success was not a result you could get overnight, instead success was always achieved through putting in as much effort as was possible.

When Amber finally woke up, Jack had finished his training.

She could clearly see from his bare upper body that his defined muscles that were all in perfect proportion. Although his physique was still not that of a bodybuilder, you could still really see the muscles and strength he had acquired from his training.

“Jack, you woke up early again to do your exercises?” Amber walked over to Jack with her sleepy eyes and hugged Jack’s neck from behind, and then added, “You really never allow yourself to slack off, do you?”

Jack smiled, looked down at his body and muttered, “The speed that my body is developing at is almost terrifying.”

He whispered softly.

However there were still feelings of doubt within him.

After the events that occurred over the other side of the ocean he had still continued to pretend he was disabled. However, ever since he had returned, more incidents had been occurring one after the other, so technically speaking, he did have to slack off his training here and there.

In addition to this, he was only able to train his upper body strength, so to be more precise his overall physique was still not up to standards.

However with just this short period of training, it not only increased the strength due to his slack off of training but also it seemed that he even made a breakthrough.

“Is something wrong?”

Amber asked suspiciously.

Jack shook his head and said, “Everything’s fine, but despite how strong I’ve become currently, I’ll still always doubt if it’s enough.”

As the head trainer of the Hughes family, Brent’s systematic training was not only aimed at Jack, but was also to teach and train the younger generations of the Hughes family.

If only because of that Brent’s systematic training was so special, the younger generations of the Hughes family would be all benefited.

However, Jack was still sure that even if the younger generation members didn’t slack off, they were still inferior to him both physically and in terms of their fighting skills.

This was because Jack had a natural gift unlike them.

What’s more, was that when he was attacked at the other side of the ocean, even though he had poison flowing through his whole body he was still able to recover fully, which in itself was a very remarkable thing.

Regardless whether the toxicity levels were strong or weak, since the purpose of this poison was for murder; it could have been very fatal.

But in comparison to Jack, Yael who had also been poisoned needed countless people to come and donate blood and numerous Head Doctors had to come over and try all they could to ensure he didn’t die. And despite all of this help, he was still in a vegetative state.

In addition to this, even though Grand Freemason had needed to gather Head Doctors to help Jack, the scene had never been as grand as Yael’s.

In any case, the final result had turned out very differently for both of them.

After a long period of silence.

Jack didn’t wait for Amber to speak.

Jack couldn’t help but look back, only to find that Amber had her arms around his neck and her eyebrows frowned, seemingly in a daze.

“What’s wrong?” Jack asked gently.

“It twitched again.”

Amber pointed to her right eyelid rather irritated and said, “What the hell is going on?’”

Jack frowned slightly, stroked her head lightly and said calmly, “Don’t overthink too much, perhaps you are just being a bit too over anxious and therefore making this out to be a bigger problem than it is. Just don’t put too much pressure on yourself, relax a bit and it will all be ok.”

“Hm.”

Amber nodded, but she still had a frown on her face.

Jack felt helpless as he watched Amber go to wash herself.

Was she only over worrying so much because the due date for her pregnancy was approaching?

A thought then came into Jack’s mind.

They had been experienced too many different incidents recently. And perhaps because so many people in the family had also suffered accidents recently and the people who were left unharmed had suffered a lot of pressure.

This worry she was left with coupled with the pregnancy, could very well be likely to have caused the state that Amber was in currently.

Jack then said to himself, “I need to work overtime today since I need to finish all the arrangements for tomorrow. This way I can stay at home tomorrow and spend a whole day resting with Amber.”

Once Jack had made up his mind about this, he then went to the bathroom to wash up himself with Amber.

After having breakfast together, Mr. Ward and Jack both rushed over to the DT real estate agency, while Daisy stayed at home with Amber.

According to the previous plan, Daisy was meant to go to the hospital with Vinna after breakfast to deliver breakfast to Lyndall and Lone Wolf. However, because of Jack’s request, Daisy stayed at home instead to accompany the troubled Amber.
