Winner Takes All novel Chapter 709

It was stormy outside the window.

Yet inside the ward, it was very silent.

Jack sat in his wheelchair couldn’t sleep. As he watched over Amber with his eyes red.

Even though she was sound asleep, Amber’s brow was knitted tightly, and pain was written on her face.

The loss of a child.

For both Jack and Amber, it was a shocking and horrible news.

All the hard work of carrying a baby for ten months resulted in this.

Not a single soul could have taken this easily.

As a husband, Jack was clear that he had to take care of Amber. No matter it’s her emotions or her health.

The exhaustion of a night without sleeping was extremely tiring. But this didn’t stop him from being awake and watching over Amber.

Amber’s face made Jack’s heart as if it was being slashed by a knife.

As her face was already pale, it was also filled with pain, it was even more shrivelled and haggard.

As if she had already aged by a dozen years over the course of the night.

“Sorry…”

Jack murmured a word, his eyes reddened, and his gaze gradually narrowed. There was an endless of coldness from his gaze.

He became ruthless and insane.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if Jack had change into a different person.

His face was extremely cold and stern to the core.

“Kool family, you’ve harmed my wife and killed my child… you will pay for all of these!”

A hoarse voice squeezed out of Jack’s throat

Thump!

Jack’s right hand landed on the wheelchair’s armrest. And with tremendous force, the armrest that was wrapped with plastic exploded with cracks.

Jack’s right hand squeezed the armrest upper part. His veins on the back of his hand looked like gnarled earthworms.

Without even noticing it himself, the veins extended along of the back of his hand and up to his forearm. His veins became slight pale red in colour that was particularly opaque. It looked menacing.

The downpour had been quite a while.

And Amber was sleeping soundly.

As the best way for human body to recover was to sleep. Especially when it was exhausted whether it’s physically or mentally and when it’s extremely weak.

Jack had been watching attentively from the side.

It was until dusk and darkness started to fall that the pouring rain came a abrupt halt.

The sky was as clear as a whisper, and the dusky sun was setting.

Squeak…

The door of the ward was opened softly.

Jack looked up wearily.

Mr. Ward entered first, followed by Steve Knight and his wife, who were full of fear and worry.

And after them, Daisy walked in carrying a thermos container.

As soon as they entered the ward.

Steve and his wife saw Amber laying in the hospital bed. Both their eyes turned red and filled with tears. As they rushed to the bedside.

Jack made a silent gesture, “Mom, Dad, let Amber have some rest. She is very weak now.”

“You…”

Steve’s face turned red as he glared at Jack in anger. His hand was poise to strike but was stopped by his wife.

Jack had no intent of dodging.

As Amber was the most precious of her parents ever since she was born.

Now that such terrible accident had happened, her parents must be extremely distressed.

Jack was ready even if he got stabbed rather than just a beating. He would not have the slightest resentment.

And what had happened to Amber was a failure of Jack as a husband. As he had failed to protect his wife.

“Calm down, go outside with Jack and talk it over.”

Amber’s mother held back her tears and snapped at Steve, “Do you think that Jack wanted this to happen? He’s more distressed about Amber than either of us.”

“Thanks mom.”

Jack was sincerely grateful.

Only when one had truly experienced it could understand just how tolerant Amber’s mother was. At that moment of distress, she was still able to say such words of relief.
