Chapter 692: The woman he loved must be protected by himself
After ten hours of surgery, Ignatius Leclair was transferred to the intensive care unit, still not out of danger.
The think tank under Ignatius Leclair, who were originally in the South Sea, had all gathered at the hospital, asserting control over the entire hospital, especially the intensive care unit, which was guarded so tightly that not even a mosquito could fly in.
"Miss Delphine, Maximilian and I will keep watch here. Nothing will happen. You can go back and rest a bit to avoid worrying the young master and young miss." Arthur White said calmly.
Delphine knew that Arthur White was Ignatius Leclair’s shadow, considered his most trusted person. She nodded, feeling somewhat uneasy, and asked, "And what about Melody Cloud and her family?"
Melody Cloud acting so crazily was entirely beyond Delphine’s expectations. Even if the Cloud Family went bankrupt, with Melody Cloud’s looks and learning, she wouldn’t fare too badly. She hadn’t expected such extremism to be in her bones.
"In three days, there will no longer be a Cloud Family in the South Sea." Arthur White stated harshly, "If Young Master Leclair wakes up, his methods will be a hundred times more ruthless than mine. As for Melody Cloud, she won’t die. Once the young master wakes, he will handle it himself."
On the way here, Arthur White had already taken action against the Cloud Family. They were already at the end of their line, and with the Leclair Family also taking action, their fate was practically sealed. Moreover, Arthur White learned that the Squire Family had also stepped in.
The man glanced at Griffith Squire but said nothing.
"Alright."
Delphine was also worried about Nicholas and Benjamin, so she took Griffith Squire’s car back to the Squire Family. Seeing Arthur White’s vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy, she furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
Griffith Squire noticed her heavy heart, smiled slightly, and said thoughtfully, "Arthur White surely proves to be Ignatius Leclair’s most capable aide, sensing the crisis and implementing strict control over the entire hospital."
Griffith Squire originally intended to plant his people inside. Regardless of the grudge he had with Ignatius Leclair, if Nicholas and Benjamin were to lose their father at such a young age, it would cause them severe psychological trauma.
"Are you implying someone wants to harm Ignatius Leclair?" Delphine asked, slightly tense, her fingers tightening.
Griffith Squire squinted his peach blossom eyes, nodded, and said lightly, "Whether it’s the Cloud Family, the Yeager Family, or Nathan Leclair who rushed back from the Leclair Family, they all do not wish for Ignatius Leclair to wake up. If something happens to him, the landscape of the South Sea will undergo a drastic change."
"You don’t need to worry. The think tank of Ignatius Leclair is formidable, and I’ve also stationed people at the hospital. When you go back tonight to comfort the two children, if you’re still worried, you can stay at the hospital later." Griffith Squire said.
Delphine felt a bit grateful, her eyes moistening, and she said softly, "Thank you. If it weren’t for you and Leah, I don’t know how I would’ve held up."
Griffith Squire reached out to gently ruffle her hair, gave a wicked smile, and said, "A woman I once liked must be protected by myself. Even if you heartlessly abandoned me and married another, you still matter to me."
When Delphine heard the first half of the sentence, she felt touched, but upon hearing the latter not-so-serious words, she couldn’t help but smile, and the shadow of Ignatius Leclair’s unknown fate from the car accident lifted considerably.
When Delphine arrived at the Squire Family, Nicholas and Benjamin had already washed up and were sitting in the living room playing with the snowball raised by Leah. But the two little ones seemed a bit absent-minded until they saw Delphine, then they rushed over, asking for mommy’s hug.
Children are extremely sensitive at heart. When Delphine suddenly vanished, and the pretty auntie brought them to the Squire Family, even Benjamin was worried.
Delphine comforted the two children, explained everything, told them they would be staying at the pretty auntie’s house for a few days, and then coaxed the little ones to sleep.
