Adopted by a Gang Leader

Chapter-10

3rd Person POV

The repeated tapping of the pen on the table was all that could be heard through the dark room. Klint sighed in frustration as he tried to concentrate on his work but was quite unsuccessful.

Usually he would always be motivated to do his work and would have no trouble concentrating and completing it but with all that's going on he has been staring at the same sentence all day trying to actually do his work.

It has been a few days since the attack and Flora still has not woken up much to the doctor's dismay as they have  been yelled at by Klint every hour of every day. And on top of that Liam has been ignoring Klint since that day after the incident. He only visits Flora twice a day and blatantly ignores Klint at all cost.

On the other hand Klint doesn't know why all of sudden he shows so much care towards Flora but he doesn't know how to avoid it anymore. He always felt a type of protectiveness towards the girl but ignored it as he didn't know what that feeling was but when he saw her victorious bright smile fall and morph into one of pure pain as her knees gave out and her face lost all its colour along with her shirt gradually getting redder by the second that day he felt his heart drop. That was the moment he realized he cared dearly for the little Flora. Him not being the most trusting or emotionally available person taking a liking towards the young girl in such a short time was surprising but it was not that unusual if you really think about it. He has never been around actual good people for as long as he can remember with him growing up in the streets with the exception of few so when he met Flora the purest, kindest and the most sincere person ever it was a matter of time before he started caring for her.

The unnerving silence in his office was interrupted by his desk phone going off. He groaned in annoyance as he accepted the call.

Klint: What do you want *he snarled impatiently*

Caller: Boss the little girl is awake

Klint: *He lets out a shaky breath in disbelief* What *He whispers*

Caller: the little girl Flora just gained consci-

*Call Ends*

He ends the call before the caller on the other end could complete his sentence and sprints out of his office to the basement where there is the clinic that currently has Flora admitted in.

He sprints down the gray hallway past the many door towards the end and pushes open the double door hastily. His body visibly relaxing slightly at the sight in front of him.

Flora was sitting up on the hospital bed against the many pillows with a iv hooked in her hand and a heart monitor monitoring her heartbeat. The shape of the thick white bandage on her abdomen could be spotted through the thin gown. Her arms and face covered in little bruises and cuts from the attack and the tear stains visible on her red cheeks.

Even after going through all this the little fighter was still giggling at the funny faces the young nurse was making at her.

The young male in the room turned at the sound of the doors being thrown open and immediately stood up straight when he spotted his boss.

The little girl on the bed also followed his lead and a bright smile immediately found its way on her face when she spotted Klint.

The nurse immediately  nodded in respect giving Flora a final smile and silently exiting the room.

Klint however didn't acknowledge him just stood awkwardly at the door. Now that she was awake and he was here he didn't know what to do.

"Sit down silly" Flora finally said pointing at the chair beside her bed with an amused smile after a long few minutes of silence as klint made no move and stayed frozen like a deer caught in headights.

Klint obliged and sat down but made no move to talk making Flora raise a eyebrow at him as she chuckled lightly at his awkwardness.

Finally after while gathering enough courage he asked, "How are you feeling?" but immediately mentally face palmed at his own foolishness. How would she be feeling she just woke up from a short coma after getting shot.

Flora once again giggled at the instant regret on his face but nonetheless replied with a small smile, "I'm okay now. My stomach was hurting earlier due to the stitches but the doctor gave me some medicines and now it doesn't hurt at all". Klint sighed in relief at that as they once again fell into silence. They never really talked to each other so this was new for both of them.

After a while the silence was broken once again by Klint who said barely in a whisper, "I'm sorry" as he looked down guiltily.

Flora tilted her head slight in confusion and said, "What are you sorry for? You weren't the one who shot me". Klint opened his mouth to reply but was cut of by Flora who continued excitedly, "Plus now I have a cool scar along with a cool story to tell" hoping to reassure Klint.

Klint once again was about to reply but was cut of by the doors swinging open with a loud band causing Flora to flinch slightly.

In came a panting Liam with slightly teary eyes who immediately smiled in relief when he saw flora. Similarly another bright smile lit up Flora's face when she spotted Liam.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again young lady" Liam said playfully well tried to but his voice cracked a little giving him away.

He made his way at the end of the bed taking a seat beside her tiny legs. He took her tiny hand in his own which looked huge compared to her and gave it a little squeeze.

"Anything you need right now?" He asked receiving a silent shake of head as a reply.
