Winner Takes All novel Chapter 706

Beep… Beep…

The steady sound of the heart rate monitor was heard.

The green waves rose and fell steadily on the screen.

This was the only sound in the ward.

The air was filled with the heavy smell of sterilized medicine.

At the moment, there were people in front of the bed of the ward.

Jack Hughes sat in the wheelchair and held Amber Knight’s left hand and placed it beside his lips while leaning on the side of the bed.

His eyes were red and teary.

He looked gentle but his teary eyes looked determined.

This scene made Mr. Ward and Daisy Hill slightly feel at ease.

This was the biggest change on Jack’s face since yesterday night.

His face turned from an extremely cold look to a gentle look.

This change was normal for ordinary people.

However, it was a huge change for Jack who could go bewitched.

This was because a person’s mind who could go bewitched could be changed by a person.

Amber was the only person who had the power to let Jack change.

Lyndall Long and the others were waiting at the side.

Vinna Vaughn’s white teeth bit her red lips while she held her hands tightly together. Tears could be seen in her eyes as if she was cheering for Amber.

The mysterious man still casually sat in front of the windowsill while holding an unlit cigarette in his hand.

Creak…

The door of the ward opened.

Director Lansing who hadn’t slept all night and was tired walked in with a pair of panda eyes.

Seeing so many people standing in the ward, he slightly frowned but didn’t say much. He walked behind Jack.

His right hand gently patted on Jack’s shoulder, “Relax. It is already fine. Luckily, you made the decision fast enough at the time. Everyone felt sorry about your child’s matter. Please forgive Mr. Lansing for my attitude at that time. As a medical staff, even though I am Amber’s uncle, I couldn’t make a decision for her.”

“Only you as her husband could make this decision.”

Jack turned his head and smiled, “I know that Mr. Lansing had worked hard on it.”

Although Jack was smiling, Mr. Ward and Daisy could notice the big difference between his smile now and in the past.

However, they noticed it because they had known that Jack could go bewitched.

In fact, Jack’s smile had not changed much for the others.

Director Lansing sighed and felt heartbroken while looking at Amber on the bed.

Only he knew about how much danger Amber had encountered last night.

As her uncle, he felt heartbroken.

However, he clearly knew that since Amber had made her choice to stay with Jack, then she, as Jack’s wife, would have to bear the risks that Jack faced together.

It was an inevitable fact!

“Mr. Lansing, when would Amber wake up?” Jack asked.

“She should be able to wake up today. We had done the operation quickly so she wouldn’t be in more danger.”

Director Lansing stopped for a while. He then said, “I have already informed Steve and his wife about Amber’s matter without asking for your permission. They are Amber’s biological parents. They should be told about this serious matter. Now, they are ready to rush towards here.”

Upon hearing that.

Mr. Ward and the others’ expressions changed a lot.

Yet, Jack nodded, “Thank you, Mr. Lansing. Even if Mr. Lansing didn’t tell Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight, I would still inform them when Amber is awake.”

This was not only a matter between the two of them.

It was a matter between the three families.

Amber was Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight’s treasured and cherished daughter. She had been loved and cherished by them since young. After she was pregnant, not only he and his father, Patrick Hughes, were looking forward to their baby to born, Mr. Knight and Mrs. Knight were looking forward to it too.

Now there was such a serious matter. It was definitely shocking bad news for the three families.

It would be the greatest disrespect if he didn’t inform them.

After waiting for a while, Jack said, “Mr. Lansing, you had worked hard all night. Go back and have a rest first. I will stay here with her.”

Director Lansing nodded and didn’t talk anymore. He felt heartbroken as he looked at Amber. Then, he turned and left.

After that.

Jack looked at Mr. Ward and the others.
