Winner Takes All

A voice with ecstasy echoed throughout the street.

It caused many people to glance sideways and look at Medea.

Even Jack whose consciousness was blurred also could not help but stop at this moment and looked up in shock.

Glancing through the crowd, he saw that not far away, a figure was standing in the crowd and was looking at him with surprise written all over her face.

Did she know him?!

Jack was a bit confused. He was not sure if the woman not far away knew him.

But just as he was about to move a step forward while carrying Amanda on his back, unexpectedly, the pause just now instantly let him have difficulty using his strength.

In extreme exhaustion, one might be able to rely on the will to continue to hold on but once one stopped, it would be as difficult as climbing up to the sky to reuse his strength. His body trembled.

'Thump'. Jack and Amanda fell to the ground.

Medea was so scared by this scene that her face changed greatly.

Medea hurriedly rushed to Jack and Amanda.

"It's okay, you'll be fine."

Medea directly turned Jack's body over. At this time, because of the fall, there was blood on Jack's face. His sanity was still there.

"Do you know me?"

Jack asked weakly and then said, "Help me take good care of Amanda."

Amanda?

Medea froze for a moment. She looked at Amanda who was unconscious and then nodded at Jack.

With this nod.

Jack's two eyes closed and he directly fainted.

Inside the room, the lights were bright.

However, there was a pin drop silence.

Medea stood worriedly at the side, looking at Jack and Amanda who were unconscious on the bed.

On the side of the bed, the female escort was carefully treating Jack's wounds.

But, the female escort's expression was extremely darkened. Even shocks also flashed in her eyes from time to time.

Purl...

From time to time, the female escort placed the blood-stained gauze into the water basin. The blood had stained the water and had long since turned the water in the basin red and bloody. This scene lasted for nearly two hours.

When the female escort finished sewing up Jack's last wound and tied the knot, only then did she get up with a head full of sweat and sit on a chair at the side while panting. "How are they?"

Medea hurriedly asked.

"The little girl and he are all fine."

The female escort's words instantly eased the expression on Medea's face.

Immediately after this, the female escort looked up at Medea, "Medea, this is the most seriously injured person I've ever seen in my life who can actually still be alive. Goodness, I really dare not imagine how exactly strong this man's will is. Although the wound on his left shoulder is not fatal, it will definitely endanger his life after long-term exposure."

"Hunger, thirst, cold. He has experienced all those life-threatening things in the snowfield but he still can survive. The more critical thing is that during the day, he was still killing people in the streets. This guy is really too terrifying, he is absolutely not like a human!"

Each of her words revealed intense astonishment.

With the female escort's Bushido level, if she put herself in his shoes, even she also could not survive the same encounter as Jack.

He was simply an invincible guy who could not be killed. It did not make sense at all!

While listening to the female escort's words that were uttered in shock.

Medea's eyes flickered but a strange sentiment was surging inwardly.

A feeling of being with the glory was pervading Medea's mind.

She slowly sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Jack whose body was wrapped in gauze. Although his face had lost a great deal of weight and there were even traces everywhere that were formed upon being ravaged by the wind and snow, in Medea's view, he was still attractive and she yearned for him very much.

Being somewhat smug, she said while smiling, "Of course, otherwise, how would I only acknowledge him as my spouse in this life!"

As she said.

Medea reached out and gently caressed Jack's face.

When her fingertips touched his face that chapped everywhere, she felt as if she was touching the bark of a dead tree.

"It was really unexpected that you, whom I've been thinking about day and night, would appear in front of me in this way. It's my honour but I've made you experience misfortune for this period."

Her voice was soft as if she was afraid that if it were too loud, she would wake up Jack who was still unconscious.

The female escort, who was sitting on the chair was completely dumbfounded upon seeing Medea's look.

Goodness!

Was she really Medea?!

"Medea, do you really plan to stay outside with them for a few days?" the female escort asked.

Medea looked back, "Yes. When they wake up tomorrow and are in a better state, take them to that room you prepared and let them stay there for a few days. When they both recover slightly, I'll take them back to Royal Palace, so help me check out this room tomorrow morning."

After Jack fell unconscious just now, she immediately called the female escort to come over and then found an inn nearby.

In order to heal Jack's wounds, even Medea who had always been arrogant also could not care about the shabbiness of this inn.

"Then how should I report to the king?"

The female escort hesitated for a while and asked.

"Tell it as it is. My father will understand."Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Medea smiled faintly but her smile was full of coquettishness, "He is the man in my heart. I want to let him become better before I bring him to see my father. In addition, I feel that there is something wrong with him."

"Something wrong?"

The female escort froze.

"When he saw me just now, he asked 'Do you know me?'," said Medea.

The female escort was a bit confused, "Has he seen you before?"

Medea shook her head and said with a serious look, "Perhaps there is another meaning? Anyway, wait for me to get this matter clear. For the sake of the collaboration of all tribes, my father will understand me. This is a golden opportunity for foreign tribes, I don't want to miss any mistakes, I must make sure every step is safe and steady. Hopefully, on this day in the next year, we don't have to ride horses in the snowfield but enjoy the fertile fields and sunshine in the territory in the south."

"Affirmative!"

The female escort nodded, "Then I'll return to the city to report on this tomorrow morning."

There were no words all night.

Throughout the night, the female escort was on guard at all times. She was really not confident with the security of such a small inn.

Whereas, Medea was also meticulously staying by the sides of Jack and Amanda and did not sleep all night.

When the sun rose again the next day.

In the room, everything was gilded with a layer of light.

As for the warmth, there was only a slight change.

The female escort said goodbye to Medea and was about to get up and leave.

At this time.

Jack on the bed woke up.

When Jack opened his eyes, there was confusion in his eyes, "I...am still alive?"

"Yes, yes, I saved you. You and the child are fine."

Medea was instantly surprised. The tiredness she had upon having a sleepless night seemed to have been swept away.

"You are?"

Jack looked at Medea in confusion.

Medea froze for a moment and smiled sweetly, "My name is Cynthia."

"Cynthia?"

The body of the female escort who was walking out of the door shook violently. Shock abruptly appeared on her tired face.

Cynthia was Medea's real name.

And Medea was the pet name named by the king and queen of The Hun!

It was just that after many years, the king and the queen of The Hun had always regarded Medea as the apple of their eyes so they had always been calling her by her pet name. The same thing went for the rest of the people.

Medea also rarely told her real name to the public and she had always been using her pet name in the public.

Even the female escort also got to know that Medea's real name was Cynthia only after following Medea for many years.

She still remembered that when Medea told her her real name, she was saying it with a very arrogant tone. 'Those who are not close to me are not qualified to know my real name, they don't deserve it!'

But this time, it was the first time Medea took the initiative to tell others her real name!

However.

Just as the female escort was shocked and stunned.

In the room behind her, the conversation between Jack and Cynthia was like a thunderclap.

"Sorry, I, I've lost my memory. I don't remember anything that happened before." Jack smiled apologetically.

Medea's eyes, however, shone with delight abruptly.

The ugly makeup on her face was long gone.

Then, she revealed a coquettish and flirtatious smile, "Yes, I know. So, let me hereby grandly introduce myself. I'm Cynthia, your wife."

Boom!

The female escort who was standing at the doorway was instantly astounded and entirely dumbstruck.000000
