The Winner Takes Everything

The Winner Takes Everything
Tommy Shocked


Amber carried the flask inside with fatigue written all over her face.


He was completely exhausted after taking care of Jack for an entire day. However, according to doctor speculation, Jack should have woken up anytime by now.


Therefore, he left the ward and went home to boil some soup for her.


Since Jack suffered such severe injuries, it was very important for him to drink nutritious soup to fortify his body.


As Amber stared at the bed, her entire body trembled.


In the next instant, with a joyous expression on his face, he rushed towards the bed and threw himself into Jack's arms, "Jack, you're finally awake!"


"Well..."


Drastic expression changes occurred on Jack's face. His wound throbbed because of Amber's weight. He frantically shouted, "Amber, this hurts ..."


Amber jumped in shock when she realized what she had done. He stroked her chest and apologized, "Sorry, I was too excited. I didn't mean to aggravate your wound."


"It's okay."


Jack suppressed that sickening pain and forced a smile on him.


Jack observed Amber's tired figure and touched her head closely, "Are you stupid? I'm fine now. Why do you have to make yourself tired like this?"


"What do you mean you're okay now?"


Amber glared at him, but there were signs of tears in her eyes, "You have suffered such serious injuries because you wanted to save me. It doesn't matter even if I pass out from exhaustion later. I have to take care of you. . You're a fool, you idiot!"


After voicing her pent-up worries, she hugged Jack's arm and began to cry.


This sudden shift in atmosphere caught Jack off guard.


She did not know what to do with Amber who was crying endlessly in her arms.


Brent's face became darker for some color, and then with a cough, he solemnly left the ward.


"Bas stupid, you can't deny that you're a moron. Why ask you to save me? Don't you know that being stabbed with a knife hurts? And you even shed a lot of blood. You're a real fool."


Amber continued to cry as she said these words.


Jack replied with a smile, "I'm doing all this because you're my girlfriend."


"Then you're really a big moron." Amber complained.


Jack said nothing in response. He simply raised his hand and patted his back lightly.


He knew that Amber must have been very surprised by what had happened. It was good for him to clear his emotions by crying out loud.


Slowly but surely, his wailing was getting muffled.


Then, sleep took hold of him after he exerted a lot of strength to cry.


Jack watched Amber who was sound asleep in his arms and he kept patting her on the back with affection. He muttered softly, "You little bastard, you have risked your life on me, so how could I possibly let you lose? Protecting you is my duty."


While standing behind a table in the bank, Shirley was scared to death.


She never expected that after dressing herself up well and rushing to the Pisces restaurant, not only would she not be able to meet Jack, she instead met Katherine.


He recalled the scene where the two of them met. Still feels awkward thinking about it.


Since the engagement was cancelled, she never met Tommy again. He no longer had any ties to the people from the Parry family.


In the eyes of the spectators, what happened back then was entirely the fault of the people from the Parry family.


His response to severing their ties was just a step on his side to increase his value in the market.


However, he still felt sorry for Katherine.


From how Katherine glared at him, she could feel Katherine's hatred.


There was still no sign of Jack after waiting for a while. He did not reply to his text messages or answer his phone. Only then did Shirley wake up to leave.


"Is he playing me?"


Shirley scratched her head in confusion. Maybe his encounter with Katherine here wasn't just a coincidence. It looks like Jack is controlling something from the darkness.


Shirley bit her lips hard and felt her frustration would overflow.


He had considered letting Tommy be on the receiving end, but in fact he didn't want to give up on Jack.


This was especially true after he received five million yuan from her. This incident only fueled his resolve.


However, Jack had always been cold towards her. He was always uncomfortable with his attitude


He decides that he has to make sure Tommy can be his backup!


After making up his mind, Shirley scanned the bank hall and saw not many customers. He wakes up to get a leave of absence from the manager.


After leaving the bank, he immediately went to the nearest market to buy some fruit. He plans to visit Elissa.


While paying for fruits, it suddenly occurred to him that Jack's mother was also staying at LJ Hospital.


After deliberating for some time, Shirley took a turn and returned to the supermarket to buy some nutritious products. After that, he paid off his bill and headed to the hospital.


Upon arriving at LJ Hospital, Shirley temporarily placed the nutritious products on the reception desk before hanging a bag of fruit to visit Elissa.


With Shirley's sudden appearance, both Elissa and Tommy were thrilled. They could barely contain their excitement.


Tommy immediately attached himself to Shirley while blurting out words of concern.


His reaction further irritated Shirley and reinforced her impression of him as a useless man. He could not help revealing a look of disdain.


He stayed there for a while before saying goodbye.


Kieran and Elissa both urge Tommy to drive her away, and Tommy obeys them and follows Shirley from behind.


Shirley could not help but frown, "Tommy, you can go back and take care of aunt. I have other business to take care of."


After exiting the ward, Shirley took a deep breath, and her usual indifferent expression was replaced with a smile.


He sped up his pace and returned to the reception desk. He picked up the nourishing product and hurriedly headed towards Sophie's ward.


As he entered the ward, in the corridor not far from there, he looked at Tommy with a terrified expression on his face.


He was filling the flask with hot water when he hit Shirley.


Tommy rubbed his eyes in disbelief.


How did Shirley enter Jack's dying mother's ward?


At that moment, he was in a trance.


Step by step, he slowly walked towards the ward.


In wards.


Looking at Shirley, Sophie kindly smiled and told Daisy to greet Shirley.


It was different from what happened in Elissa's room.


Shirley looked like a different person back then. With a face full of smiles, she continued to pamper Sophie.


Shirley even peeled the apple herself for Sophie.


It was very different compared to how he had been before.
