the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 451: The Man Knelt on One Leg and Lifted Her Up

In just an instant of dizziness, Delphine quickly steadied herself. Holding onto the glass railing, she felt so off-balance that she almost wanted to vomit.

lody had only casually pushed her, never expecting that Delphine couldn’t keep her balance. Her complexion turned alarmingly pale, appearing as though she might faint at any mont. Feeling guilty, lody instinctively wanted to run away. After all, this was a hospital, bustling with people; even if she did faint, soone would witness it. Adjusting her glasses, lody quickly rushed off with her bodyguards to Ignatius Leclair’s hospital room.

Ignatius had been hospitalized for two days. The sick man’s expression was even colder than usual, so cold that it could freeze soone with just a glance—no words necessary. Since his hospitalization, the Crown Prince of the Leclair Family had turned his hospital room into sothing resembling a battleground, and not a single doctor dared to risk provoking him.

Arriving outside the room, lody knocked on the door and softly said, "Brother Ignatius, may I co in?"

Ignatius was imrsed in his work and didn’t respond.

lody pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing the sickly yet still commanding presence of this handso man, her heart couldn’t help but pound uncontrollably. Since she was young, lody had always had a preference for the finest things, and naturally, when it ca to n, her choice had to be the most handso and powerful man in Southeast Asia.

"Brother Ignatius, I made fish soup for you. It’s best consud while it’s hot," lody said gently, placing the small pot of soup on the table thoughtfully. "Even if work keeps you busy, a sick person still needs to take care of themselves."

Ignatius raised his eyes, his deep and captivating phoenix-shaped eyes accentuating his sharply defined nose and striking features. Looking at lody, he replied indifferently, "You’ve only just recovered. Why are you out and about already?"

It had only been a few days since the trial. The scandal’s heat hadn’t subsided yet, so if the two of them were seen in the hospital together, acting familiarly, it would undoubtedly create another headache. Moreover, as Ignatius looked on coldly, he thought about the situation where Delphine had frad lody. If Cloud Family hadn’t insisted on pressing charges, the matter could have been handled less aggressively. Why had it spiraled out of control? The Cloud Family was indeed a bit too malicious.

As for lody, their ti spent together hadn’t been long enough for him to remain unaware of her thoughts and sches.

The man curled his lips into a faint, chilly smile. Who among the heirs of prominent families didn’t wear a few masks? In the past, he had underestimated lody.

"I’ve mostly recovered already. When I heard that Brother Ignatius was sick, I wanted to co check on you." lody smiled properly. Noticing that his attention still remained on his work, she acted as though speaking casually and said, "Just now, on my way here, I happened to see Delphine at the hospital with that lawyer with the baby face. The two of them seed quite close. To be honest, I really admire her—she has a way with n that I certainly don’t."

Ignatius’s phoenix-shaped eyes darkened at her words. Unable to focus on the reports and docunts he was holding anymore, he stood up and asked gravely, "Where?"

lody panicked when she saw he was preparing to go after them and quickly said, "They left. When I saw them, they were carrying dicine and heading out."

The man’s phoenix eyes turned icy as he stord out of the hospital room without saying another word. As he walked away, he commanded coldly, "Go find out if Delphine Carter is still in the hospital."

After issuing the order, Ignatius noticed a small commotion downstairs. His expression darkened as he hurried downstairs.

Delphine, having been shoved by lody, felt her body becoming increasingly uncomfortable—nauseous and dizzy. She gripped the handrail and sank onto a bench. Soon, she was surrounded by concerned onlookers. Out of the crowd, soone erged hurriedly, dropping to one knee to scoop her up in their arms. A cold, woodsy scent enveloped her completely.

anwhile, Desmond, who had been waiting impatiently for soone, arrived to see the imposing Crown Prince of the Leclair Family carrying their beloved Delphine with an iron-gray expression, heading swiftly toward the hospital room.
