Raoul wasn't feeling quite well. He had been sneezing and coughing and slightly feverish for the past few days now. He'd been doing his best to avoid Christine, especially with the baby on the way. But he wasn't aware of just how worried for Christine's health an outside party would be.
He'd come to the Opera house to pick up some tea that one of Christine's friends had wanted to send him, supposedly so he would get better quicker. Of course he was suspicious that they'd asked him personally to come instead of having it sent to his home, especially since he was still not feeling very well, but his mind was still too addled with his ailment to really process the strangeness of it.
So he hadn't at all expected for it to be a trap, of sorts.
