Winner Takes All Chapter 67
After running multiple tests, it was clear that Dahlia was still in good shape.However, Raquel and Isaac were still worried about her.When Austin arrived at the hospital at night, neither Raquel nor Dahlia mentioned the incident.As a mother, she felt sorry for her son.Dahlia knew how hard Austin was working. She didn't want to burden him any further.Raquel came close to mentioning it as she looked at Austin. However, Dahlia's words caused her to hold it in."Austin, you seem exhausted recently."Dahlia looked at her son and felt her heart break. Her eyes turned slightly red.Her surgery and Austin's divorce had all happened within a month.Both issues were enough to make a normal person fall under heavy pressure.Not to mention, Austin was shouldering the burden alone. He was also busy working hard to pay her extensive medical bills."Mom, I'm alright."Austin smiled. His mother's health was slowly improving with each day, lessening the burden in his heart.As for bei

Ezra explained patiently, "Mr. Walter wants you to return to become the family's head. At the same time, other family members also want that position."The head of the family will hold immense wealth. Who wouldn't want such a position? "The fight for the position has always been fierce. You have become a problem in their eyes now.""What can they do? Kill me?" Austin smiled amusingly.Ezra did not answer, but he gave a small nod.Austin immediately swallowed back his smile. The question was no longer as funny as he thought it to be.People would do anything for money, even at the cost of their lives.Not to mention that this mysterious family seemed to be filthy rich. Killing someone was nothing to people in high society."Aldus!" Ezra suddenly shouted out."Yes, Mr. Lockwood."On the driver seat of the Rolls-Royce, a big burly man answered Ezra.Austin frowned. He wasn't Ezra's previous driver.Aldus looked scary and intimidating. The air around him was fierce and overwhe

After saying their goodbyes to Ezra, Austin and Aldus returned to Austin's rented house.The simplicity of Austin's house shocked Aldus."Do you think it is too crude?" Austin asked.Aldus shook his head and said, "Sir, you've worked hard for the past few years."Austin smiled. He liked Aldus' personality. Aldus knew what to say and what not to say.According to Ezra, Aldus would be by his side for some time. Things would be troublesome if he did not like Aldus."The house is slowly being filled with people. I've already bought a new place. We'll be able to move next month," Austin said with a smile.Although Heavensgate villa was extravagantly priced, one of the reasons was due to the villas being designed by multiple well-known interior designers to design the whole place.That was to allow the whole place to have a similar style and let the owner have a much more pleasurable experience.In other words, Austin only needed to buy some furniture. Then, he'll be able to move in

The shadow looked ferocious under the dim lighting.Austin wasn't able to get a good look at his face.Austin suddenly remembered Ezra's words as he watched the shadow run toward him.The man before him … would kill him.The piercing cold immediately shot to his head.Suddenly, the shadow appeared before him. The shadow lifted his leg and aimed straight at his head.Was he going to get killed?Austin's eyes widened. During their small exchange, he knew his opponent's strength was on a different level than his. His life was on the line.Austin watched as a new shadow appeared before him.The new shadow that had suddenly appeared immediately bent down and used his shoulder to stop the man's leg from striking Austin's head."Fuck off!"The black shadow caught the man's leg and threw it.With pure strength, the black shadow threw the attacker away.After landing on the ground, the attacker rolled on the ground a few times before coming to a stop."Aldus!"Aldus stood tall

"Who do you think you're talking to?" Taylor gritted out.Everyone in the Campbell family wanted to inherit and lead the family.However, Walter suddenly found his bastard son and tried to bring him back into the family. Such an action was like a slap to their faces.How could the rest of the family willingly give the position of family head to a bastard?Austin smiled in contempt. "Aldus, it's time to go home."Was he being ignored?Taylor's anger flared up, and his eyes looked like he could murder someone.However, Taylor knew he could not harm Austin with Aldus here.Walter had gifted his personal bodyguard to a bastard like him. It proved that Walter held him in high regard."You'll understand the difference between an elite and a bastard very soon." Taylor's sarcastic and cold voice sounded.When they got home, Austin immediately laid on the sofa."Thank you for your help just now."Aldus shook his head. "I'm just doing my job."Austin smiled and did not comment on it

Cecily turned to look at the dark clouds through the windows.She seemed slightly aggrieved as she murmured, "It's going to rain soon."She had already landed half an hour ago when she first texted Austin.Although she did not receive a reply from him, she did not leave.She had been abroad for three years. She wanted Austin to be the first person she saw. She also wanted a fresh start to her relationship with Austin.She had never thought the workaholic would have forgotten about her due to his work.After feeling sorry for herself, Cecily took a deep breath and smiled."It's nothing. Austin's just too hardworking."By the time Austin had rushed to the airport, another 40 minutes had passed.The dark clouds had finally given in as heavy rain poured down.He was drenched by the time he ran inside the airport. He immediately spotted the bored Cecily in the corner of the airport.After being apart for three years, Cecily did not change much in terms of appearance. She was st

They went to the Venus Restaurant.Austin's first time having Ashoden cuisine was in Venus Restaurant. Back then, Cecily was the one who had treated him to the meal.During their four years in university, Austin, Nancy, Cecily, and a few of their other friends would often go there to eat.Three years ago, Austin and Nancy had their farewell dinner with Cecily here before she went abroad.The restaurant was special to them."Hey, Workaholic? I didn't think you would still remember this place."Cecily tried to tidy her wet hair as she looked at the restaurant meaningfully."How could I forget?"Austin smiled bitterly.Cecily frowned. "But aren't you being too stingy? "You're the vice president of a property development company now. I just came back from being abroad. How can you bring me here?"Although she had been abroad for the past three years, she had always kept close tabs on Austin and Nancy.Otherwise, she would not have sent Austin a message questioning him when he

"Sure."Cecily did not reject his suggestion, nor did she mention anything about paying the bill instead.She understood Austin's current situation. All of his hard-earned money had gone to Nancy and his mother's treatment.He wouldn't be living in a rented place if that wasn't the case.However, she didn't want to hurt Austin's pride just because she felt sympathetic toward him.He didn't want Austin to think she believed he could not afford to pay.A man's pride was a fragile little thing.The car's engine started. The light in the car was dim.Cecily suddenly asked, "Oh, right. How's your mom doing?""She's doing well," Austin said.Cecily frowned. "I know all about your situation. I can help you. No, I can help Mrs. Emerson.""I've already thought of a way. My mum is in the process of recovery. She might be released from the hospital soon," Austin said."Really? That's great."Cecily smiled happily. "Austin, you're amazing! Did you know I've always admired you when we
