♡ Awaiting Love ♡

Chapter 11

Patrick: "You ok sweetheart?"
*Y/n nodded at him as she leaned back in the chair after they came back from the room where they extracted blood.
Pops carefully escorted her back to the waiting room when he asked in a concerned tone. Looking at her extremely paled face and weak voice*

Y/n: "Yeah... Just- dizzy"

Patrick: "Hmm... It was a tough night. Here sit, I will get you some water"
*Nodding he smiled at her but frowned at when she keep looking at him*

Patrick: "What love? Do you need something?"

Y/n:  "Thank you for being with him- for being his family"
*Pops feel proud at that moment, he always knew this woman was a gem. But it was a relief to see it with his own eyes. At least their destructive decision has one good outcome. He patted her head with so much affection and respect that she feel like crying. He was just a stranger but he feel more familiar to her*

Patrick: "We don't say thanks in this family, Y/n. And you are also part of our family. You have always been. It's nice to finally put a face to that gorgeous name"
*Even when his words appalled her, she didn't show it. She was awk ward for a moment as she asked in confusion*

Y/n: "You are nice uncle- should I call you that?"

Patrick: "Call me pops... Like him, he will definitely get jealous"
*Pops chuckled happily at the thought of annoying Jungkook but all teasing left when he saw Y/n's wobbly lips and tears that were streaming down her paled cheeks. He was horrified and unaware for a moment as he didn't know what to do. Immediately kneeling he asked in a worried voice as he patted her head*

Patrick: "Hey, what happened, doll? Why the long face? Why are you crying? Did I say something? I am sorry-"

Y/n: "I don't want to take another person from him"
*And just like she did earlier, she left him speechless with her words. The raw pain that he felt in her words and the agony in her eyes showed him that he was right.
She also was a victim, she was just as innocent as Jungkook was. But she was also as ruined as Jungkook was. It was as much tragic as it was painful to accept it. He gulped his anger as he close his eyes shaking his head and then looked at her with tenderness in his eyes as he hold her cheeks in his hands*

Patrick: "You won't. I was joking. He won't be jealous. You can call me Pops Smith. That will be different and our thing, ok?"

Y/n: "Ok"
*Leaning forward to peck her forehead, he smiled big but his heart was crushed at the misery his children were going through*

Patrick: "Good child... Now sit here and let me get you something"
*It took him a little longer to get the water bottle because he was pacing around the vending machine as his anger and frustration were getting too much.
He wanted to smash things and kill someone but he was controlling his anger*

*After giving something to eat tonY/n , he escorted her to the rest room and after making sure that she is safe, he went back to retrieve Jungkook's stuff from the reception near the emergency department.
Knowing that they have enough blood supply for the operation as he already called a few workers and friends. He went outside so he can actually breathe as the smell of hospitals always irritates him*

Patrick: "Bl••dy stupid illiterate ra$cals"
*That's the first word he whispered when he sat on one of the benches present outside*

Patrick: "God, I am tired. I am so gonna beat his arse for being so reckless. Stupid idiotic man"
*Cursing Jungkook under his breath for his stunt, he pinched his nose and closed his eyes, leaning back. But his heart bleeds for his champ, the man who he called a son.
Just as he was going to take his cigar out of his jacket pocket, an unexpected but familiar voice got his attention*
