Colby took a long time to gather himself before nodding slowly, still stupefied with disbelief.
Lucian retracted his gaze. “I want to thank you for your words earlier. I won't give in, and Roxanne will get better.”
Colby felt a sudden sense of relief at those words. “She will. I hope you'll let me know when you get married so I can wish you well.”
Lucian inclined his head.
The men exchanged a final glance in silence. Colby watched Lucian leave before allowing himself to be escorted back to his cell.
With his mind buzzing with Colby's words as he emerged from the facility, Lucian gradually regained his calm.
I have done everything I can. From here, it's only waiting and hoping. Either the doctors will think of something before the deadline, or I will have to give in to Jack. Before then, the only thing I can do is with Roxanne.
Spurred by that thought, he stepped on the gas and sped toward the hospital.
It was dusk when he arrived.
Lucian had Cayden pick up dinner for the medical specialists at the hospital. They dined on the large table in the conference room.
Still uneasy, Madilyn remained by Roxanne's bed.
She stood up upon his arrival. “How did it go? Did you discover anything?”
Lucian shook his head, but his expression did not look as pale as when he had left. There was even a glimmer of optimism in his eyes.
“Nothing yet, but I believe no harm will come to Roxanne.”
After speaking, he observed Madilyn's expression.
