Winner Takes All
Chapter 480 Carry Me on Your Back

Carlos and Rena didn't anticipate it to be like this. Jack was so raged at that moment that he still grabbed the wheels tightly trying to turn around while his hands were bleeding.

"Rena, send me back." Jack shouted while trying to keep his voice low.

"What's up? What happens?" Rena was terrified and immediately bent down to hold Jack in her arms.

"Send me back! I don't want to see her!" Jack said difficultly while gnashing his teeth.

"But haven't you been longing to see her?" Rena was so terrified that tears welled up in her pretty eyes. Even though she was so upset but just as her grandpa had said, it was fate that brought Jack and Ambe together. They were meant to be couple. If not for her sense, she would have wished to cancel the appointment much more than Jack did.

Jack trembled lying in Rena's arms while grabbing the wheelchair tightly, his eyes bloodshot with tears.

He said difficultly while managing to keep in a low voice, "How can I meet her now? Just to tell her that her husband has become handicapped, huh?"

In a sobbing tone, his words were like a sharp knife stabbing Rena right on her heart. She was shocked. "You don't want to see her now because you don't want to appear down and out in front of her, right?" Rena thought to herself.

That was it. Who didn't wish to be at one's best in front of his or her beloved? He wouldn't allow himself to show even a bit of flaw let alone that he was sitting on the wheelchair at the moment.

Jack didn't notice the change of Rena's mood. He almost begged her with tears in his eyes, "Please! Please send me back. I have sworn I would only go back to her after I can stand up again. I don't want her to see me now as a damn handicapped."

It was Amber who came back to him without hesitation and accompanied him to stage a comeback when he first became down and out. He wouldn't have his beloved Amber to go through that again.

He knew Amber from A to Z. If Amber, his silly girl, found out he was handicapped, she would have rushed to him without hesitation again.

He didn't want the reunion with her when he had to sit on the wheelchair. He wished to show up again in front of her with glory.

"Please, send me back. I can drop to my kneels if you wish."

"Alas!" Rena sighed deeply. She raised her slim hand slowly and wiped out the tears at the corner of her eyes.

She pushed Jack and smiled sweetly at him, "All right! Then don't see her now. I'm sending you back. When you can stand up again, we will come to see her then."

"Thank you! I really appreciate it!" Jack was so grateful to her. At that moment, he looked so pathetic without any grace as if he were a beggar on the street who was grateful after being given something to eat. How humble he was!

"Let's go back." Rena managed to force a smile and stood up to turn the wheelchair around painstakingly.

See this, Carlos felt so pity for Rena. He had seen clearly the change of Rena's mood, who had been so humble to restrain all her feelings. What a silly girl!

Carlos smiled bitterly and felt suffocated when he heard someone cried out suddenly, "Carlos, where are you?"

It was Mr. Ward! Being thrown in to a panic, Jack became raged at the sight of Mr. Ward. Because of instincts, he grabbed the handles on his wheelchair more tightly with bulging veins in his bleeding hands. Carlos's eyes twitched and he looked back subconsciously to find Mr. Ward and Amber from the crowd. If Mr. Ward hadn't got hold of Amber's hand, she would have rushed over to Jack. It was indeed the case Mr. Ward and Amber were waiting anxiously for the people to come out from the SH guildhall but only found them stop at the gate without any trace of Jack.

Amber was so disappointed at that. Was it really that difficult to see Jack for just a glance? She was about to rush toward the gate when Mr. Ward was quick enough to stop her. That was when he cried out.

If Amber had rushed to the gate of SH guildhall, she would have been exposed in public. He was not worried that people would look at Amber.

What he was afraid of was that Amber might be spotted by the one who wanted to kill Jack. That was why he had shouted.

"Mr. Hughes, there's no way to hide from them. Just meet them." Carlos said to Jack not knowing what else to do.

Jack stared at Carlos resentfully, his eyes bloodshot with tears. He had suspected that it was Mr. Ward when Carlos talked after being drunk the other day. So, he went to Carlos's house to confirm his suspicion.

But what Mr. Ward was doing made Jack extremely angry. "He has been working for father his whole life. How come he is being so irrational!" Jack thought to himself.

Seeing Jack who looked furiously, Carlos said awkwardly, "Maybe you should meet them for a moment! Amber is coming over. I don't think Mr. Ward, being tough outside and soft inside, is able to stop her." Jack didn't know what to do. A few seconds later, he sneered, "What a dumb fool!" He became resolute with his eyes sparkling. He looked up to Rena, "Can you do me a favor?"

"Sure!"

"Carry me on your back." Jack forced a smile, "Carry me on your back so that I can pretend to be standing."

Rena was lost for a second and then she nodded forcing a smile and came to the front of Jack.

"Rena..." Carlos couldn't help crying out with a troubled look.

"Grandpa, I should do him this small favor." Rena turned around to his grandpa and said with a smile which looked so pathetic.

With Jack on her back, she frowned for a second as she felt the weight of Jack. Although she was one of the Lieutenant in the Grand Freemasons, she was after all a girl who was no match to boys in terms of strength.

But Rena bit the bullet and managed to stand up slowly in the crowd with Jack on her back. Carlos couldn't stand seeing this and moved silently to Rena's side to help hold Jack.

With the cover of the people from the Grand Freemasons, Rena slowly stood up with Jack on her back. Seen from far away, he seemed to have stood up especially when he managed to keep his body straight upwards.

When Amber, who had been waiting anxiously, spotted someone familiar showing up slowly from the crowd, she was struck dumb and tears rolled down her cheeks all the sudden.

At that moment, she paid no attention to the close distance between Jack and Rena. All that came to her eyes was only Jack.

"It's him... My silly man!" Although she seemed to be in a trance with tears rolling down her cheeks, she smiled cheerfully.

"Your ladyship, we should go now. Remember your promise?" When Mr. Ward saw Jack, he was surprised. Carlos had told him what happened.

So when he saw Jack "standing" behind Rena, he figured out what was going on and he also figured out that Jack didn't want to see Amber for the time being.

But as soon as he finished his words, Amber got rid of his hand and ran towards the SH guildhall. She had been longing to see him day and night. Now that she had seen him, she just wanted to throw herself into his arms.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
