Chapter 1177
"Roxanne."
Lucian couldn't resist calling out to Roxanne, harboring a glimmer of hope that she would open her eyes and wake up upon hearing his voice.
Alas, there was no response from her even after his voice had rung out for a long time.
Boring his gaze into her, he leaned down and drew close to the woman on the hospital bed.
If she even had a shred of awareness, she would probably struggle to regain consciousness and spring away from him the instant she saw him approaching.
But this time, she lay there motionlessly and allowed him to draw so close to her that they were merely inches apart.
Still, the tempo of her breathing didn't even change.
Only then did Lucian realize that he hadn't studied Roxanne in such close proximity in a long time.
Her features were still exquisite, but she inexorably looked sickly.
Looking at her pale face, a flash of hesitancy flittered across his eyes
A Moment later, he slowly reached out and caressed her face with the tips of his fingers.
"Are you mad at me? The doctors had been working on you for hours, but why are you still not awake? Is it because you want to see me wallowing in regret?"
Needless to say, the woman on the bed didn't react in the slightest.
Seeing her comatose, Lucian felt that his emotions would likely spiral out of control if he were to remain there.He forced himself to straighten up before fixing his gaze on Roxanne.
"I'll be back in a while.I hope you're awake by the time I return."
After saying that, he spun around with a hardened heart and left.
Verily, he couldn't stay in the hospital room anymore.
Otherwise, he himself couldn't tell what he might do.
Having seen Roxanne's current condition, he felt somewhat relieved.
