Chapter 149

Bryan's POV 

There was a hollow feeling in my chest that wouldn't go away as I watched Orion walk out of the room leaving Lacey with me. 

Granted Lacey asked for me to hold her but still. Orion was her father but neither of them knew that and Lacey had only ever known me as her father. 

“Are you okay baby?” I asked as I patted her back gently. 

Walking into the room and seeing her like that kicked up my protective instincts. 

This would have been the perfect time to let Orion shine with her and to let their father-daughter bond grown but I couldn't let that happen. 

Was I that inconsiderate? 

No, it wasn't that. I just simply saw my little girl in pain and rushed to check on her. 

On instinct. 

I probably should have envisioned her reaching for me to get comforted the moment I walked in but that was the last thing on my mind when I saw the state she was in.
