The Abandoned Wife

The following morning, Roxanne had already woken up by the time Lucian did. Her brows remained furrowed while she removed the needles for herself.

Lucian glanced at his empty palm, then shifted his gaze to look at the woman before him. In a hoarse voice, he asked, "When did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me up?” Roxanne was too focused on the task and only realized the man was awake after hearing his voice. She hesitated for a moment, then continued with what she had been doing. "You look like you were sound asleep. Besides, I am feeling better now, so I didn't wake you up."
