inquired after
Asked about someone
To inquire after someone is to ask about their well-being or condition, typically through a third party: She inquired after your mother's health.
The phrase suggests polite concern rather than urgent need for information.
You might also inquire after something you're seeking: He inquired after the position at the front desk.
