After checking Lucian, the doctor left. Luke and Fret too excused themselves, leaving the two alone.
Ariana was still doubtful, yet she pushed away her thoughts and approached Lucian. Taking the seat next to his sleeping figure she observed him.
"Am I giving your hard time" she muttered under her breath blaming herself for whatever happened to him.
Sitting there without moving an inch, Ariana just kept staring at him. Seeing him in this vulnerable state, made her heart squeeze.
Turning around her eyes, she picked up her cell phone from the side table and texted Julianna about her leave. She even mentioned the reason before placing her phone back on the table.
Eyeing him for some time Ariana then reached her hand and checked Lucian's forehead. He was still having a fever, but the paleness on his face was slowly dissipating which surprised her.
