The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 39 Three Women

After hesitating for a moment, Jack held himself back from telling Amber right away.

He glanced at Amber who was focusing on driving.

Jack smiled as he said, “Amber, I want to give you a surprise later on.”

They were friends and always shared things truthfully.

He didn't want Amber to face him with sympathy, just because of what happened this month.

“Surprise?”

Amber frowned and didn't ask more, but smiled and nodded instead, “Okay.”

The car entered LJ Hospital's parking lot.

After getting off the car, Amber asked Jack to take her stuff.

Jack was dumbfounded after opening the suitcase.

The suitcase was full of fruits and tonics.

“I shouldn't be discourteous for our first meeting. I don't know if Ms. Burton will like it. I just bought

some.” Amber said with a soft smile.

Jack's heart twitched.

Amber's joke was like a needle that poked his heart.

He knew his mother would definitely be happy even if Amber came with nothing.

Compared with Amber's seriousness, some people never visited over three years, and even kept

saying “dying mother”.

There's an extreme difference between Amber and Katherine.

“What's wrong?” Amber asked.

"Nothing, you bought too many things!” Jack forced a smile and took most into the hospital.

Amber lifted two bags of fruits behind him and said in panic, “Jack, wait for me... I, I'm a bit nervous.

Let's go in together.”

In the ward, Sophie was chatting happily with Daisy.

Taken good care by Daisy, Sophie seemed to heal a lot quicker with rosy cheeks.

Sophie was fond of Daisy as her own daughter.

Daisy also felt that, so she took care of Sophie wholeheartedly.

Jack opened the door and saw them chatting happily.

“Mr. Hughes,” Daisy immediately stood up and helped Jack with the things he brought.

“Jack, why do you buy so many things?” Sophie was puzzled.

Over the years, she had been living a hard life. Even after Jack got richer, she didn't enjoy anything

because of her sickness.

She felt a little in blue for Jack bought so many things.

How much did it cost him?

“My friend bought it,” Jack smiled and turned his head around to Amber.

Amber walked in and glanced at Jack.

She told him to wait for a bit, but he just had to enter by himself, making her so nervous.

She smiled, “Hello Ms. Burton, I'm Amber Knight, Jack's friend.”

“Hello.” Sophie smiled nicely. But when she gazed at Jack, her face changed, “Jack, why don’t you help

Miss Knight with her things in hand?”

This made Amber laugh. She felt a bit relieved.

She just stuffed the fruits into Jack's hands before walking up to Sophie with a smile, “Ms. Burton, it’s

very kind of you.”

Sophie beamed and felt that Amber was somehow familiar, “Miss Knight, have I ever seen you ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

somewhere?”

Jack put down the fruits and wanted to explain when Amber suddenly said, “No, this is the first time.”

Jack gave Amber a surprised look.

When she was in university, Amber met his mother for many times. She was even the bridesmaid for

his wedding 3 years ago.

Sophie couldn't remember Amber for she was old and they hadn't met each other for 3 years.

Why didn't Amber admit it?

Sophie nodded with a smile and didn't ask more about it.

She said, “Daisy, please bring some water for Miss Knight.”

“Yes, Ms. Burton,” Daisy said.

She brought some water for Amber and served with some fruits.

Jack felt pleased as he saw this.

He could also see that his mother felt delighted with Daisy.

Only Amber frowned at the sight of Daisy.

However, Amber smiled brightly in an instant.

She held Sophie's hands and talked with her.

Jack sat aside, looking at Amber and Sophie chatting happily. He didn't disturb them.

Soon, Daisy returned with the fruits. The three women chatted pleasantly.

Amber wasn't arrogant at all. She was very easy-going. She even took the apple from Daisy and

peeled it for Sophie. Then, she even cut it into small pieces so it would be easy for Sophie to eat.

Soon, an hour had passed. It's very late in the evening. Jack mentioned about leaving the hospital first.

Amber nodded and smiled at Sophie, “Ms. Burton, you’ll get well soon. I'll see you again soon.”

“Okay, okay.”

Sophie nodded and said, “Jack, it's getting late. Send Miss Knight home.”

“I understand, mom,” Jack nodded.

After leaving with Amber, Jack finally asked, “By the way, why didn't you tell my mom that you're my old

schoolmate and bridesmaid?”

“Are you an idiot?” Amber rolled her eyes, “How can I get Ms. Burton agitated with her current

condition? If I admit that I'm your schoolmate and bridesmaid, won’t it make her recall the past about

you and Katherine?”

Jack was stunned.

If Amber didn't remind him, he wouldn't have thought of it.

Before he came back to his senses, Amber asked a strange question.

“Oh yeah, you haven't told me... Who's that girl taking care of Ms. Burton?”

Jack raised his eyebrows, “That’s Daisy, the housemaid I hired for my mom.”

“She's really a housemaid?” Amber asked with sharp eyes, “Then why do I feel like Ms. Burton treats

her so well? Just now Ms. Burton spoke to her more than me.”

Jack was speechless.

‘Amber was fussing over nothing?’

But he still explained, “Perhaps that's because she takes good care of my mom. She's pathetic anyway.

My mom must have known her problem.”

“What's the problem?” Amber asked.

Jack shook his head but he didn't say anything.

Daisy is a woman. Women love beauty.

If she weren't forced to, would she make both her hands full of calluses?

That's her privacy, right? He must respect it.

“Humph... Don't say it if you don’t want to.” Amber pouted, “Anyway, it's fine. She's Ms. Burton's

housemaid.”

“What's fine?” Jack asked for he didn't understand.

Amber wanted to change the topic as she broke her eye contact with Jack.

Suddenly, there was a scream.

“Amber?!”

Both of them were dumbfounded and looked upwards.

Not far from there, Katherine was carrying a thermos when looking at them in surprise.
