The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 285 Recuperate Back At Home

The following day, Roxanne woke up and realized there was a coat draped over her body.

Lucian had placed his coat over her after she fell asleep last night.

Roxanne sat up and glanced around the ward, but Lucian was nowhere to be seen.

Strangely, she felt empty inside.

Roxanne was in a daze when the door to the ward was opened. Turning at her shoulder, she saw Lucian tiptoeing in, wearing nothing but a shirt. He looked really worn out.

When their gazes met, Lucian's gaze turned dark. His voice was hoarse as he asked, "You're up?"

Roxanne nodded in response. After a brief hesitation, she got up and placed the coat over Estella. The little girl was still sleeping soundly.

Lucian's gaze softened when he saw what she did. He went up to her and glanced at her bandaged wrist. "How are you feeling? Do you need to redress your wound?" he asked with concern. Roxanne shook her head calmly. "No need for that. I can change it myself at home. The medicine in the hospital could be more inefficient than my own medicine."
