After a few more hours after Evan discovered that his friend had impregnated a girl, he went to visit Lance after his very long operation.
The doctor said it was a successful surgery, but the recovery would be tricky. He would probably need years of therapy before he could fully recover.
"Evan, I am pleased that you are still here." The Duke suddenly appeared behind him while he was gazing at his friend, who was still unconscious with machines attached to him.
He wished he could talk to Lance and tell him to recover fast because he was about to become a father, but that was not his place. Lance needed to hear that from Eida, not from him.
"Just checking on Lance," Evan responded with a gentle smile, still sorry for what his friend was going through but glad that he was out of the woods.
