Black Card Debt: Daddy's Little Thief (Omegaverse bl)

Chapter 287: For me, our little princess, and our pups

Seoha’s POV

A rush of relief and guilt hits me as my grandmother cups her mouth at the sight of me.

"My baby, it’s my baby" she says, and the woman I’ve never seen cry before is suddenly crying.

She didn’t even cry when I visited her after my mother’s ’death’, but she’s crying for me.

I’m loved.

"Grandma" I sob, getting out of the car and letting her hug me.

"Oh goddess, thank you for keeping my little pup safe" she cries, hugging me and kissing my face.

"Grandma" I cry out again, holding on to her tightly.

I remember that they had her in the picture.

In the picture Yechan sent, she was tied to a chair and she looked trapped.

"He didn’t take you?" I ask and she shakes her head, still sobbing as she breaks the hug to look at me.

"That man tied me up and left me to die, I’m so glad he didn’t find you. Oh my baby" she exclaims and hugs me again.

"I’m sorry, grandma" I apologize.

I don’t know what I’m sorry for, but I’m genuinely sorry, she sniffles before breaking the hug again.

"You’re pregnant?" she gasps, realizing that I have a baby bump for the first time.

"Yes, grandma. I’m pregnant" I whisper and she places her hands on my stomach.

"Oh...this is beautiful...oh Seoha-ya, my grandson has grown up completely" she says and I nod twice.

"I’m still your baby, grandma" my voice cracks.

Jisu is quietly sniffling behind us.

"I’m so glad you’re okay oppa. That man was completely mad, he was scary" she says and I ask the question that has been sitting on the tip of my tongue.

"Taesan? Where is he?" I ask, still holding on to my grandma.

"He’s in the hospital building of Hwangyeon" Jisu says, pointing at the gate of a place that still looks new to me.

"Where are we?" I ask quietly.

"Welcome to Hwangyeon, Seoha" the doctor who visited us on the day Taesan was hurt by his grandfather comes over to join us.

The man, a male omega, looks graceful as he approaches us with a warm smile.

"You remember me, don’t you? I’m Yeon, the nurse of the Hwang clan" he says and I bow, still exhausted from hours of traveling, crying, and sleeping without food.

"Hello, I remember you" I bow and he smiles at me.

"My son-in-law, Yujun, told me you’re familiar with him. He would have been here to welcome you, but his baby Soobin is sick" Yeon says and I nod.

I’m holding on to my grandma’s skirt like a child, and I feel no judgement.

"I understand...please can I see Taesan now?" I ask and Yeon’s face falls.

The change in expression gives me a little heartache.

"I’m sorry, I can’t let you see him right now" he says and I lose strength in my knees.

"Please...I just need..." I stutter, I’m not even sure what else to say.

"I can’t feel him...I want to at least see him" I plead and Yeon exchanges a look with my grandma.

How bad is it? Is he dead and they’re lying to me?

"Grandma, please, I need to see him" I say, bottom lip trembling helplessly.

"Fine, but you can’t stay for long. Okay?" Yeon sighs in defeat and I breathe out with relief.

Held up by my grandma and Jisu, I’m taken through the gates of this place called Hwangyeon.

I can’t make out much from how dark everywhere is, but I can tell that there are other people around.

"This way" Yeon says softly, taking me to a place that smells similar to a hospital.

"Do me a favor and don’t panic, okay?" Yeon says and I nod.

A nurse comes over with a scent patch, and I look at Yeon with questioning but teary eyes.

"This is going to help. Your mate is in a delicate position; his body is dying" Yeon says bluntly.

"What?" I ask.

"Doctor!" my grandmother scold.

"It’s better I tell him before he sees it behind that door" Yeon says. The omega man sounds sorry but I can’t even connect with my brain.

My mate is behind that door. My mate is dying. And I have run out of tears.

"Seoha, if he smells you, his alpha might force him to wake...and his body is not ready for that, do you understand?" Yeon says and I nod.

"I understand" I say automatically while my eyes are fixed on the door.

"Seoha" Yeon says my name to get my attention.

"I said I understand" I say stubbornly.

"Shut up and listen to me" he scolds and I blink, turning my head away from the door.

"Taesan is going to be fine, but he’ll only be fine if you help him, okay? hold yourself together, this is the time to be the strong mate he needs" he says in a stern tone and I nod.

Grandma doesn’t come with me, neither does Jisu. Yeon-ssi opens the door and I step in.

What I see is not what I expected to see. I slap a hand over my mouth to stop myself from sobbing.

The big alpha’s body swallows up all the space on the bed, but he still looks so helpless and wasted.

Taesan looks...dead.

There are bandages on different parts of his body. His skin is pale. His eyes are shut; his hands are by his side with different needles stuck in his skin.

"My mate..." I choke out and Yeon drags me out of the room immediately.

I don’t even put up a fight as he pulls me out and slams the door.

"His chest wasn’t moving..." I say to myself.

"He’s alive" Yeon says, hugging me to his chest.

"His eyes were closed..." I whisper weakly.

"He’ll open them soon" Yeon says, helping me into a seat.

"He didn’t call me stupid" I look at the man with dry eyes. My omega is clawing to be taken back to our mate.

"Oh, poor baby"

"My mate" I say in a weak and broken voice, too tired to cry.

"Come here, come sleep. You have to be healthy if you will be able to do stupid things and make him call you stupid, hmm?" Yeon says and I let him lead me out of the hospital-like building.

My head is empty, the heartache isn’t trying to end my life, yet I feel so empty.

Kang Taesan, you need to wake up for me, for our little princess, and for our pups.

Please.
