Consent

"Dad " Jack called the moment they walked into the room.

He looked to see his two sons, Alfred and Camilla walk in.

he smiled getting up. Camilla ran to his arms hugging him.

"Am glad you're doing okay sweetie " he kissed her hair.

While Chris hugged his father after Camilla let him go.

Jack moved to his mother's side, she was still unconscious with the machine still supporting her.

"How is mom doing?" he asked.

"She's getting better, the doctor said she will soon wake up," their father said.

"That's good " Jack smiled holding her hand. She wasn't his real mother but had treated him like her own. At first, she was so hard on him but after realizing what he was going through she softened. So this meant she wasn't that bad but he wondered why she was so heartless with Camilla.

Chris was standing aside watching her emotionless pale face, his eyes were filled with conflict and pain.

"Why don't we let Chris watch over her as we take Dad to have a rest " Camilla lead her future father-in-law to the door.

Jack got up, "Brother " he called motioning Chris to come closer. Chris hesitated but Jack held his arm gently pulling him closer to the bed.

"She's asleep, just tell her everything you want to say. She won't talk back or hear you " he lied cause the moment he had held her hand, she had moved and held him tighter like she was aware of his presence.

Alfred and Jack walked out leaving Chris inside alone.

They went to the hospital cafeteria to grab something to eat for Chris's father.

Jack and Camilla went to buy food while Alfred lead Mr, huntsman to a free table.

"Your Alfred?" he asked. Alfred nodded and fully introduced himself.

"Sadly, we had to meet under such circumstances," he said.

"It's alright, it's not that bad " the old man smiled. His eyes were on the two still debating on what to buy.

"I wish your wife gets better soon," Alfred said.

"I hope so too. I just wish she as her body gets better her attitude and heart change. She treated that poor girl so bad that she lost her memories and innocent baby but Camilla still brings her son back to her "

"Camilla has always been like that, never wishing bad for anyone. She knows Chris loves his mother no matter how she behaves and would feel guilty if something really bad were to happen to her " Alfred explained.

"I know my son has a very bad temper so I expected worse than that and it would have happened but Jack told me just saying her name cooled him down saving his mother. And I know after that Chris was full of regret for what he had done and fear of how Camilla would look at him " they saw Jack and Camilla finally agree on something and laughed.

"He loves his mother but loves Camilla even more that it makes his possessiveness dangerous and lethal to anyone who hurts her that not even his mother is an exception "

"I hope he works it out with his mother cause Camilla will be disappointed if he can't forgive himself for what he did to her " Mr.Husntman smiled at the two walking over.

"Dad, I hope you like what I bought " she laughed passing him the tray.

"Isn't it dangerous for you to be moving around the hospital before being discharged " he smiled?

"Don't worry, Dad, I will return to my room after your do e with this " she urged him to eat.

Jack placed his tray in front of Alfred, "have" he said.

"Later " Alfred moved away.

"You didn't eat anything on the food we bought for your brother at the company and you still don't want to eat. What's wrong why you are you getting sick " Jack sounded angry?

Camilla and his father turned to them.

Alfred smiled, "Am not getting sick, I just have a headache"

"You're a doctor and can't even take care of a small headache. Best this will I go get you some medicine " Jack got up walking out of the cafeteria.

"How will he say yes to your proposal if you keep making him angry " Camilla sighs.

"Ohh, you plan on marrying my son with my consent?" Chris's father frowned.

Alfred gulped turning to Camilla.

"Not really, Dad, he wanted to tell you on Chris's birthday but all this happened he decided to postpone " Camilla pushed a piece of meat into the old man mouth.

"Well if you want my blessing you need to listen to everything my son says and stop making him angry" Alfred nodded, and Chris's father continued "And stop making him cry, Ray, told me that Jack said his always crying when he's with you "

Alfred was scared at how much information the old man had about him and Jack. But he had the right of knowing the people in his son's life.

"I promise to never make him cry or make him angry. I assure you, sir, I love Jack and have no intention of hurting him " he said.

Jack's father held a cold smile, "It better stay that way or I won't wait for Chris to kill you and do it myself in a heartbeat". Alfred could feel his threat sink in and even with the smile on his face his eyes said he was serious about what he had just said.

Jack walked back holding a bottle of water and a small package. He sat down opened it passing Alfred the medicine, opened the bottle, and pushed it to him.

" Thank you " Alfred smiled and took the medicine. He could still feel the cold eyes of his father on him.

"Welcome, now hurry up. we are going home after this " he pointed at the food in front of Alfred.

Alfred nodded, still doing as he was told.

Soon Jack was smiling watching him finish the food he had bought him.

"Alfred you doing great " Camilla giggled.

"Keep that up and I might give you my consent to marry my son sooner" Jack's father muttered finishing his soup

"WHAT?.what consent are you talking about dad?" Jack nervously asked.

His father smiled and pointed to Alfred, "He said he wanted my consent to marry you and with the way he obeys you. I think I like him more now "

"Bu.but...I never agreed to anything if it. Dad doesn't listen to Al, he's just acting crazy like his patients " Jack's face was blushing and Alfred couldn't control his smile.

"Hmmm, he even has a nickname, Al. I thought he was called Alfred" his father teased.

"Ah...yes his ca..called Al but I just find it..." Jack stammered.

"You find it cute and more special when you call him that. Don't worry Jack we get your point and don't worry we know you love him too "

Camilla and his father laughed watching his face redder.

"Al...I mean Alfred get up we are leaving. I think your headache is getting worse " Jack said getting up

Alfred said nothing and got up.

"I will call you when your mother wakes up," his father said watching Jack rush off.

Alfred said goodbye and ran after his angry lover.
