Winner Takes All novel Chapter 918

“Huff…Puff…”

Even with Vinna’s self-control, she could not help but feel extremely frightened. Her breathing became rushed and coarse, the rapid movement of air rushing through her nostrils produced an unpleasant sound.

Her body was shivering from top to bottom.

Her lips, eyelashes…Everything was shivering.

Even her face was vibrating at a high frequency.

That was a human’s natural instincts when they had experience massive trauma or terror.

She had already surpassed herself for holding her terror in for such a long time.

All of a sudden, Vinna flung open her eyes.

Her eyes that used to be filled with hope and dreams, were now bloodshot and filled with nothing but fear and terror.

Tears kept pouring out from her eyes.

Her breathing started to become rapid as well.

She stared with her eyes wide open at the ceiling, frightened.

At that moment, even if she was lying on a hospital bed, her body felt cold, as if she had fallen into an endless black void.

Her mind vividly remembered everything that happened at the TM Villa District.

Like a horrible nightmare, it lingered in her mind, refusing to leave.

She froze for more than ten minutes on her bed.

Then, Vinna, still shivering, grabbed the handles of the bed and sat up.

The first thing she saw was Yael, who was in a coma, on the bed right next to hers.

Vinna desperately wanted to be by Yael’s side. As they had been together for a very long time, she felt unprecedentedly safe beside Yael.

Even if Yael was in a vegetative state.

As long as she was close to him, she would feel a slight hint of security.

And for Vinna in her current state, she would tear up a whole battleship if it meant she could get that slight hint of security!

“Slam!”

However, her terror overpowered her will, her body softened up and her left hand slipped from the bed’s guard rails. With a thump, she fell on the floor.

She bit her lips, which were already bleeding, but she did not cry out in pain.

Vinna used up all of her strength, put her hand on the cupboard next to Yael’s bed and finally got up from the ground. She leaned towards his bed, and amid her rushed breathing and never-ending tears, her shivering hands found their way to one of Yael’s hands.

When she felt his warmth surging through her body, Vinna finally felt somewhat at peace, which she had not felt for a very long time.

“Y-Yael…W-wake up, I’m s-scared…sniff sniff…I’m scared…I want you to hug me, p-protect me…”

Vinna’s bloody lips finally started moving, albeit still shivering with fear. At the same time, her self-control prevented her from crying out loud.

Her hopeless, sobbing voice was echoing in the ward.

No matter how pained she was, she kept it under control with her sheer willpower.

Meanwhile, Yael did not respond whatsoever on his bed.

Vinna grasped his hand tightly with all her strength, as it was her only source of warmth and safety.

She was crying, shivering, and feeling extremely scared.

Sadly, the dead silence in the ward was suffocating her, making her utterly hopeless.

Even if she was feeling the warmth by leaning on Yael, she still felt as if she had fallen onto a glacier.

Her fear brought chilling cold with it, like endless amounts of needles, it was stabbing her all over her body.

“The Amber in the house, is an impostor. It’s an impostor, created by the Mysterious Man, to replace her. Do you know how terrifying it was? Yael…boohoo…Yael…”

Vinna rubbed her hand against Yael’s cheeks lightly, “I was absolutely terrified and I accidentally made a noise that attracted their attention. That ‘Amber’, wanted to kill me outright, so I had to sneak back to the bedroom. T-then…”

“I had to smash my head against the floor, and played dead when my head was bleeding. I pretended that I did not see anything, since you thought me that before, if I treated myself more harshly, more options will be open to me.

She wiped away some tears at the corner of her eyes, presented a helpless smile with her bloody lips, and said, “I-I listened to you, you were right. I fainted, and didn’t die. I had to do that to stay alive…Boohoo…”

As she said that, she could not hold it in any longer, and broke down in tears.

“But now, what do I do, what exactly should I do?”

“Boohoo…S-should I tell Mr. Ward? I don’t dare to do that, I’m scared, because they can kill me any time, they could even…kill Mr. Ward and his companions.”

“Jack isn’t at home, he went to the Dragon Cavalry. Boohoo…But he didn’t know that the Amber in the house is an impostor installed by the Mysterious Man. Yael…Wake up…Boohoo…Wake up you bastard, tell me what should I do?”

She cried while shaking Yael’s body, absolutely helpless and fearful.

At the same time, in the corridor right outside the ward.

Director Lansing, who was patrolling the hospital, shifted his gaze and saw the Mysterious Man, who was rushing towards Yael and Vinna’s ward.

He was less than ten meters away from the door to the ward!

“Hey man, why are you back? What’s the rush for?” yelled Director Lansing, while he made his way towards the Mysterious Man.

The Mysterious Man stopped, saw the Director, and said calmly, “Director Lansing, I forgot something in Yael and Vinna’s ward.”

Director Lansing said while laughing, “Ah I see, go on then. Don’t worry about it, I’ll take good care of both of them.”
