After saying that, Lucian dropped the topic and started asking about how she was instead.
“How do you feel now?” It was then he realized that he had not summoned the doctor, so he turned to Madilyn and said, “Could you please call the doctor?”
Madilyn bobbed her head, and when she went out of the room, she asked Elektra to go with her.
Lucian had been blocking most of Roxanne's vision, and Elektra had been subconsciously standing away from Roxanne's line of sight, fearing that she would make Roxanne upset.
Roxanne did not notice that there was a fourth person in the room.
It was only when Madilyn led Elektra out did Roxanne see her.
“She's...” Roxanne started, turning to Lucian in confusion.
She did not think much about it, thinking Elektra was Madilyn's friend.
After a moment of silence, Lucian said honestly, “She's my friend.”
Roxanne stiffened. “I don't remember seeing her around.”
Regardless of whether it was six years ago or six years after, the only friends of Lucian she knew of were the two from the Queen family.
She had never heard of the other woman in the room.
Lucian explained, “She's the Lane family's daughter. The Lanes are family friends of the Farwells, but before you married into the Farwell family, the Lanes went overseas to develop their business. They didn't come back during that time, and we didn't contact each other either. She just returned to the country two days ago.”
Roxanne nodded in understanding. “Did she come to meet you?”
Right then, she noticed the clock on the wall.
It was already six in the morning.
