Winner Takes All

In the study.

Patrick had not slept the whole night.

The ashtrey on the desk in front of him was filled with cigarette butts.

His eyebrows frowned tightly, as he was deep in thoughts.

Bang!

The door of the study room was suddenly and rudely pushed open.

Patrick's knit brows relaxed, but his face suddenly showed coldness.

He hated those times when he was deep in thoughts and then being disrupted.

In the Hughes family, nobody dared to do that.

Rushing in without an order, that was a violation!

"Patrick!"

Madam Hughes was supported by Carter as she walked with her dragon head cane and rushed into the room.

"I am asking you, that doctors order, who did you do that for?"

"My son, Jack!" Patrick suppressed his anger, and said coldly.

Again?!

Madam Hughes and Carter both had their veins on the side of their eyes poped out.

Madam Hughes even felt like crushing her teeth.

Last night when she heard that from Patrick, she immediately rushed to Carter and Killian to celebrate.

"Patrick, I am not an old fool, I still have some spies, tell me, who did you sell this huge favor to?" Madam Hughes' eyes were stern as she spoke.

"Madam, since you are already asking me like this, then you must know already. Your many spies must have told you already, so why are you still asking me?"

Patrick lit another cigarette and took a deep hard suck, he didn't bother to be nice to Madam Hughes as he exhaled the smoke, "Or, do you want to breath my second hand smoke?"

"You... you... Patrick, you are the head of the family, why are your actions and your words like those hooligans?" Madam Hughes was endlessly furious, she stood on the moral high ground and talked to him as his ancestor.

"Madam, don't forget, back then when I was still an heir of the family, I was known as the hooligan of the Hugh family."

Patrick slowly got up, "One can change his position, but it's difficult to change someone's character, did you think just because I am wearing suits now, so I am not a hooligan anymore? Until today, if I take off my suit, I can still fight anyone!"

His words were stern, rude and unreasonable.

Madam Hughes was shaking angrily, she bit her teeth and her eyes were full of anger.

Patrick's rude words made her have a kind of feeling as if she was hitting on cotton, it made her sick.

"Madam, why are you so angry, since you already know what is going on, then there is not much to say. Last night you already said I gave out this " Head Doctor Summoning Order" out of my own favors, I have not denied it once, and I have also agreed to you. So why are you minding my business now?"

Patrick's aura was cold, his face filled with pride, "But you, you have intruded my study room without asking, this is written in the Hughes family rules. Don't you know the consequences, Madam?" "Are you going to punish me?"

Patrick shrugged, "I don't dare to. With your health, I think 100 beats would get you to join our ancestors, I am just reminding you, don't go over the line, don't mind other's businesses, otherwise, if the hooligan gets angry, no one will be able to hold him back."

He had a playful smile.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He didn't even try to cover his warning.

This was not the first time that this kind of scene happened.

Ever since Jack appeared, Patrick's attitude towards Madam Hughes had become worse.

"Alright, alright, alright. You are the head of the family, you got it."

Madam Hughes bit her teeth and said, "You are the one who sent out the " Head Doctor Summoning Order", so you will take responsibility by yourself. I have been praying day and night, asking for the Hughes family to be kept safe. After I learned about the situation, I hoped you could think about the Hughes family, but you don't care, then what's for it. I will go back and keep praying!"

Boom!

She banged her dragon head cane on the ground.

Madam Hughes turned around, and with Carter's support, she left the study room.

But just as she left the study.

Patrick's voice sounded behind her again, "You have been praying day and night, but your character has not changed any better."

These sarcastic words made Madam Hughes tremble, her face almost turned dark.

When she was back at her place.

Madam Hughes exhaled deeply, but there was a smile on her face.

"Mom, the last words you just said, can they really disassociate yourself from it?" Carter was worried.

He had been watching and he could tell that Madam Hughes only pretended to be angry, just for those last words she said.

He was just not sure that the words she prayed day and night at Buddha Hall was whether good enough to keep them away from the suspicion of instigating George to kill Jack. "Work or not work is another story, but the point is that I have tried!"

Madam Hughes glanced slantingly and chuckled, "Carter, you have to know that the person who takes the first hit will have the advantage, the one who takes the last will suffer. This time I have already taken the initiative. As long as that idiot George will keep his mouth shut, Patrick's anger won't be on us. With what I said just then and if he still will be angry at us, then I dare to argue with him."

"Mom, you are really sage!" Carter gave Madam Hughes a thumbs up.

The next second.

The faint smile on Madam Hughes's face disappeared, it was replaced by endless coldness.

Her eyes narrowed into a slit, and the fierce light flickered.

Carter also clearly sensed the bitter chill.

"Carter, send someone to watch George at all times. If there is a slight situation, then immediately..."

Speaking to the end, Madam Hughes closed her mouth, raised her left hand coldly, and drew a horizontal line on her neck, the meaning was very obvious.

Carter's expression condensed.

"At home?"

"What are you afraid of? Right now George is still being assassinated by the Dark Web Assassin Squad. This is a good excuse, why not use it?"

"Mom, I understand!" Carter sneered.

At the LJ Hospital.

As the sky was bright as the sun rose.

The scene that caused a sensation in the whole city and made the crowd raging, the car line that stretched for ten miles was now all quietly dispersed.

The fighter plane last night had already left after sending the doctors.

The LJ Hospital was as usual this early morning.

Only in a corner of the hospital entrance, there was still a group of media people stood there, with their cameras.

However, the faces of all media people were extremely ugly.

It was not the exhaustion of staying up all night, but the feeling of helplessness.

The footage that they shot overnight and every frame was breathtaking enough!

Every photo was enough to cause an uproar.

But some people who came from the crowd had deleted all their pictures.

They didn't want to leave in the morning, but to stick around and try to shoot some pictures again.

However, a dozen people in suits and leather shoes came over.

The leader was Lone Wolf.

He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, it's been a hard night. It's inconvenient to broadcast what happened last night. We have a special gift for you. We booked a room for breakfast. Please leave as soon as possible."

As Lone Wolf spoke, then more than a dozen people he brought surrounded the media people.

There was both grace and prestige.

The media people could only sigh helplessly in the end, pack up their things, and turn around to leave.

And at the outside of the emergency operating room.

Jack, Amber, Vinna, Lyndall, Mr. Ward, and Daisy all waited nervously.

Some sat, some stood or simply sat on the ground.

Everyone's attention was on the red light above the door of the emergency operating room.

Everyone looked very solemn, and even their palms were sweaty.

Ding!

Finally, the red light above the door of the emergency operating room went off...
