Chapter 42 ~ If Only...

M/N- Mom name

The low beeps of the monitors filled the ears of M/N as she slaved away filling documents and aimlessly talking to patients about their endless problems. She hated leaving Y/N alone during her work trips. It was never a problem when Kean was a stay-at-home hero. 

Although now that Kean was home he never stayed. All because she had to open her mouth. 

"L/N!! Patient 202 needs a sponge bath!" a co-worker had yelled in the direction of M/N who was typing in her computer. 

M/N shuddered at the thought of giving old man Jenkins a sponge bath. He always smelled of old whiskey his grandchildren would sneak in for him. 

M/N sighed heavily. She missed her daughter a lot. She also missed being with Shota. Now that Y/N knew of their secret dating it didn't have to be a secret anymore. Well at least to Y/N, Kean on the other hand...

"L/N! Hurry up!" Her co-worker called out once more. She got up pushing herself away from her desk. "I'm coming," M/N said. 

She removed her lab coat placing it on her table. She couldn't wait to get back to go back home and give Y/N a great big hug and hopefully get a chance for Kean to forgive her. 

"Mr. Jenkins," M/N said knocking on room 202. 

"Oh! The lovely L/N! I specifically asked for you!" Mr. Jenkins said happily with a toothy grin lips barely covered with a grey mustache. M/N smiled nodding her head while on the inside she was in pain. The thought of an old man who could be her grandpa just wanting her to bathe him made her sick to the stomach.

But of course, she had to do it. She quickly put on the gloves and got her items ready listening to the conversation. Mr. Jenkins was trying to make with her. If she needed to respond it will only be with a nod or a shake of her head. If she had to say something it will only be short answers hoping that he would get bored and stop talking to her. 

Which, of course, he didn't.

She rotated the rough sponge on his bareback trying to be alone in her thoughts to no avail. She wondered how Kean was doing. Ever since their last talk. He had barely said a word to her with it having passive-aggressive undertones.

There was an urgent knock on the door. Without her needing to answer it the door swung open startling both M/N and the chattering Mr. Jenkins.

"L/N there's a call for you."

"Oh?"

"It's about your daughter." The nurse said holding out a phone to M/N her face filled with horror. 

M/N, very confused, took the phone from the nurse's hand. M/N always told Y/N that if she ever had an issue that she was to call her through her regular phone. 

"M/N?" a deep tired voice said from the phone. 

"Shota? What's wrong?" M/N said excusing herself from the room to a private corner of the hospital.

She leaned her back to the wall waiting for his response which much to her discomfort was taking too long. 

"M/N... Someone took Y/N." Shota finally said after an uncomfortable amount of silence. 

M/N froze in her place. Her hand held tightly onto her phone. Her worst nightmare was coming true. 

"M/N? We are doing everything to find her. I promise we will get her back." Shota said. His words were reaching deaf ears. This exact situation was what M/N was afraid would happen. She was so stupid all those years ago. 

"M/N I know this seems bad. Y/N can handle herself. She's strong."

"I need to go.

"M/N-
