Lucian was waiting outside the ward after sending Estella back to her ward.

Lucian glanced at the ward and hesitated for a bit before nodding in response. "I'm not sure if she's awake, but you can go in and see her if you'd like." Roxanne's mind was filled with Lucian's words from earlier, so she was wide awake when the two of them entered the ward.
