Chapter 396: - - 396-
Lake rarely cried, it showed Davian just how much he had been affected by his absence. At this point, it would have been better to take the Omega along with him on his business trip.
"I won’t." Davian said simply, meaning every word.
He had wanted to be useful to Lake and take some of the burden of running the Mafia House off his shoulders but clearly all he needed to do was stay by his side.
Lake looked pale, his eyes sunken. Davian didn’t like the sickly look Lake sported, his hands gently wiping away his tears.
"Do you still feel nauseous?"
Lake held his wrists and leaned into his palm, the Omega looked frail right then, it made Davian’s middle churn with worry.
"Not anymore," Lake said with a sniffle. "I’m hungry."
"Want me to cook you something?" Davian indulged.
Lake wanted to say no, Davian had spent hours flying back to him, the Alpha had to be exhausted. But he simply didn’t have the energy to keep up appearances anymore, he wasn’t as strong as he put in a front to be. What he really wanted was for someone to put him first every time.
"Yes, please." He said in a small voice that was unlike him.
Davian took that as his cue to pick up the Omega, he would have Dr. Perez stay over tonight in case they needed the doctor’s assistance, but other than that, he was getting Lake fed.
