the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 760: Don’t want me to leave?
Ignatius Leclair left early the next morning, the man placed a burning kiss on her forehead, hugged her, and left silently.
Delphine was already awake, but she did not open her eyes. She didn’t want to watch his departing back.
In the morning, the old man woke up and saw that only Delphine was watching over by the bed, and the small old man, who was as dry as a twig, felt a bit uncomfortable.
Delphine had already called Yeats Howard, asking him to bring Nicholas and Benjamin to the hospital before returning to the Imperial City, to see the old man.
Yeats Howard hadn’t left yet and rushed to the hospital with the two little ones in tow.
Benjamin Leclair and Nicholas Carter hadn’t seen Delphine all night, and they dashed over, and when they saw Great-grandfather lying on the bed, they gathered around instantly.
"Great-grandfather, did you get sick because you were naughty?" The little girl, with her big, dark, bright eyes, reached out to hold the old man’s dry, thin hand and said worriedly, "You must listen to the doctor and get well soon."
Nicholas also nodded heavily, holding the old man’s hand. Seeing the needle marks from the IV, the young boy frowned, gently blew on them, and said crisply, "Mommy said, if it hurts, blow on it, and it won’t hurt anymore."
The old man looked at the two well-behaved children, nodding continuously, his mood brightened, and he smiled.
Fearing to disturb the old man’s rest, Delphine let the two little ones stay for a few minutes and then took them out.
"Yeats, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Nicholas and Benjamin. Once things are settled here, I’ll come to pick them up." Delphine hugged the two little ones, feeling a bit reluctant.
"Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll take good care of them, and this time Uncle also sent people to escort us, so nothing will happen." Yeats Howard held one little hand in each of his and laughed.
"Mommy, we’ll wait for you and daddy at Great-grandmother’s house."
Benjamin Leclair and Nicholas Carter thought they were going to the Howard Family to play for a few days. They hopped and skipped alongside Yeats Howard, with their backpacks on, turning back every few steps to wave at Delphine.
Only when Delphine could no longer see their figures did she blink her slightly reddened eyes and return to the ward to take care of the old man.
The hospital side was watched by Maximilian, who updated Delphine every two hours about Ignatius Leclair’s progress, which reassured her.
Ignatius Leclair returned to the hospital in the evening, first visiting the old man, chatting with him for a while, then came out, looking at Delphine with intense eyes and said softly, "Maximilian said you haven’t had an appetite all day. I’ve ordered food from Qin Yi Zhai. Let me join you for a meal, okay?"
The man’s voice was low and gentle, with a hint of intimacy, coaxing her like she was five-year-old Benjamin, instructing Maximilian to set the food on the room’s dining table.
Delphine’s eyes shifted slightly, knowing he came back specifically to see the old man and then have a meal with her. She reached out and held his large hand, showing a rare softness, and said softly, "Will you leave after eating?"
Ignatius Leclair’s lips curved into a smile, and his deep phoenix eyes tilted slightly upward. He reached out affectionately to embrace her soft form, and said with a low laugh, "Don’t want me to leave?"
It was not easy for him to make time to come back. He not only had to deal with Stone Leclair’s aggression but also the various noble families who had laid siege at the Leclair Mansion.
"Actually, Arthur White wasn’t wrong. In this matter, I can stand out for you." Delphine spoke cautiously and said lightly, "As long as you are safe and sound, they won’t dare to make a move against me."
The man’s eyes flickered slightly and said in a low voice, "Delphine, I didn’t marry you to have you take hits for me, but because I want to spoil you."
