Winner Takes All novel Chapter 805

It was late in the night and everyone was surprised with Jack’s decision but no one objected to it, inclusive of Amber. They all knew that even if they disagreed and wanted to object, Jack would not change his mind once he made the decision.

It was late in the night and the corridor was dead quiet.

Jack sat on the wheelchair and the bandages on his left shoulder had been newly changed. The bandages on the mysterious man had also been changed. They had all prepared for the dangers that lurked ahead in the morning. Mr. Ward and Brent were no different.

Four of them sat along the corridor and neither said a word. Mr. Ward and Brent would occasionally glance around cautiously.

“You are rather bold. You very well know that all the killers are here for you and yet you placed yourself as the third in the protection priority. Are you tired of living?” The mysterious man joked.

On hearing, both Mr. Ward and Brent looked towards Jack.

Jack rubbed his nose and said, “Of course I know but I am a man and Amber is my wife. Her parents are also my parents now. Regardless of how desperate I am, I would not hide behind them in the face of danger.”

He smiled and continued, “My wife, parents, and buddies are all those I need to protect. Otherwise, why would I do so much to attain the crown of the Hughes family?”

“You’ll be too burdened if you shoulder too many responsibilities.” The mysterious man said solemnly.

Jack smiled with determination, “It is with these responsibilities that will drive me further. So what if I am burdened? Aren’t all men?”

The mysterious man smiled and shook his head without saying another word. While Mr. Ward and Brent exchanged looks and noticed the mysterious man’s acceptance of Jack’s decision.

Inside the patient’s room, Amber held onto Daisy’s hand and said, “Daisy, I know that I cannot convince Jack but if anything happens on our way to the airport, I want you to protect him first and not me… nor my parents.” Amber paused after she spoke and looked guiltily at Steve and Rosie.

As a woman, she must have endured intense heartache to say something like that in front of her parents.

Steve smiled and said, “Silly girl, why are you considering your parents in this situation? Jack was too brash in his decision. He is the target of all the assassination attempts. He should be the one that everyone protects. Your parents support your decision!”

“Yes, I also support your decision.” Rosie smiled.

“Thanks, Dad and mom.” Amber thanked her parents again.

The three of them looked towards Daisy and she hesitated for a moment before nodding.

This night, Jack, Brent, and Mr. Ward took turns to keep watch. It was the mysterious man who remained outside the patient’s room for the entire night.

Although they all assessed that it was the most dangerous during the trip to the airport but they did not let their guard down for the rest of the night.

Any killers worth their salt would choose the most opportune time to strike. This could happen at any moment.

Time slowly passed.

At daybreak, the mysterious man patted Jack’s shoulder and said, “Take care on the road. I’ll be watching over you in the background.” His tone was solemn. Even the mysterious took the dangers ahead seriously and did not let his guard down.

Jack looked at the mysterious as he left and then shifted his gaze outside towards the brightening day. He stretched and then said with a sigh, “Let’s hope that we can go home safely.” Then Jack could not help but chuckle.

Could they really be safe on the roads?

Then Jack’s smile froze and his hairs stood on ends as he was suddenly hit with the reality of the dangers that were waiting for them.
