Winner Takes All

Jack hurried home after work. After making the soup, he took it to the hospital quickly.

He met Dr. Hale and other doctors who just saw her mother in the ward.

Dr. Hale asked his colleagues to leave first after seeing Jack. He greeted him quickly and said with a smile, "You prepare meals for your mother every day. You did so well in taking good care of your mother, Mr. Hughes. "

Jack said with a smile, "Is my mom good, Dr. Hale?"

"Your mother is recovering well, and she can leave in a few days. But there is a risk of rejection after liver transplantation. It could last from six months to one year. If she can go through this period, she will be ultimately cured."

Dr. Hale’s words immediately made Jack’s heart dropped. "No worry, Mr. Hughes. Mr. Ward has already told us to help your mother recover at any cost." The doctor said with a smile.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Hale," Jack said gratefully.

He had admired Dr. Hale for his effort to treat his mother over the years, even setting Mr. Ward aside.

"You are being too kind, sir. But now your mother cannot be shocked at all. Please kept her calm. I mentioned that last time. Please keep that in mind.”

Dr. Hale waved his hand while smiling. He looked through the ward as if he was gonna say something. But he paused and said with a weird smile, "I am going to see the other patients."

Jack glanced suspiciously at Dr. Hale as he was leaving.

He stopped abruptly when walking into the ward.

He suddenly understood why Dr. Hale bit his tongue.

Jack’s mother was lying in bed with a kind smile on her skinny cheeks.

And there was a girl sitting aside, lowering her head while she was peeling an apple.

"Why are you here, Shirley?" Jack frowned.

"Oh, Mr. Hughes," Shirley said with a smile, "You said auntie was sick. So I came to visit her after work."

She kindly handed a small piece of apple to Jack’s mother while speaking.

Jack, in a cold look, glanced at the thermos on the cabinet next to the bed.

He really didn't expect Shirley to pull a trick like this.

She was busy dealing with Tommy while coming over here gallantly. How did she manage all this? Why?
