Winner Takes All

It was dead silent in the infirmary and the atmosphere was tensed.

Jack opened his eyes to glaring lights and immediately he saw the furious King Hun. King Hun had bloodshot eyes and was fuming angrily as he looked down upon Jack. Although King Hun was furious, he was equally surprised by Jack regaining his consciousness.

If looks could kill!

“Amanda…” Jack softly said.

“Sir…” Amanda stumbled to Jack’s side. There was a trickle of blood at the corner of her mouth and her face was covered in tears.

Jack sat up slowly and hugged Amanda as he gently wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth. He totally ignored the presence of King Hun. The sight of this took everyone by surprise. Even Cynthia was stunned by his indifference towards her father.

She knew the relationship between the little girl and Jack but she also could feel Jack’s attitude towards this matter.

Then, after he wiped away Amanda’s blood, he looked at her and said, “Didn’t Amanda promise me that you will not cry?”

“Yes.” Amanda nodded firmly and bravely fought back her tears.

Then, Jack turned and looked at King Hun and said firmly which shocked everyone, “Amanda once saved my life. You may kill me but if you ever harm her, I’ll come for your life!” It was a clear and direct threat to the King.
