the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart Chapter 891: Without Surgery, He Won’t Live for a Year

Delphine felt a chill all over her body, and said in disbelief, "How is that possible?"

Ignatius Leclair was soone with incredible inner strength; words like cowardice, depression, or decadence never appeared in association with this man.

Every step of his life was planned out, how could he just disappear like that?

Arthur White sighed softly, his face sowhat haggard, and said in a low voice, "You probably don’t know, but on the night dealing with Jocelyn Yeager, when you and Griffith Squire planned to leave the South Seas, I had inford Ignatius early on. That night, Ignatius wasn’t pursuing Miss Delphine, but was there to see you off. Otherwise, with the sixth elder’s thods, even if the whole street was on fire, young master Nicholas couldn’t have been taken away by Griffith Squire."

"Ignatius had been waiting for you to make a decision, whether to stay or leave. Even if you chose to leave, he still held a sliver of hope, believing you might co back."

But she had filed for divorce.

Delphine reached out, pressing firmly against the table, feeling a strong dizziness. She blinked slightly, forcing back the fragility and mist in her eyes, and asked hoarsely, "Why did he do this?"

She rembered the night leaving the South Seas; the man stood in the cool night breeze, silently watching her leave, his tall and straight figure finally rging with the night.

"This is Ignatius’ dical record, personally diagnosed by the fourth brother." Arthur White took out the crumpled dical record, which had clearly been crumpled into a ball, then slowly smoothed out.

"I was adopted by the madam since childhood, accompanying Ignatius. The madam was imnsely kind to , so I always considered myself a shadow of Ignatius. The madam was kind-hearted, supporting many children and doing a lot of good deeds. Miss Delphine only saw a few of us, because we were excellent enough to stand by Ignatius’ side. As for the others, they all looked up to us, wanting to replace us and stand by Ignatius’ side."

"You don’t know how exceptional Ignatius is. In his youth, he was hailed as a child prodigy. Countless prestigious schools and countless ntors extended olive branches to him during his student years, hoping to cultivate him into the most outstanding talent." Arthur White’s eyes briefly shone with a bright light, then his voice fell, "Because heaven is jealous of remarkable people, when Ignatius was young, he was diagnosed with dual personality, and that was just one issue. Secondly, Ignatius also had a severe brain disease. There has never been a successful case of this type of brain disease in history, and this is why we have invested countless resources and connections into the fourth brother’s research over the years."

"His brain disease is worsening, the migraines becoming increasingly severe. Without surgery, he wouldn’t live beyond a year."

This was the whole truth of the matter. Knowing he had a rare brain disease, he indulged his second personality. Upon learning that Magnus Leclair and Delphine were in love, he flew into a rage, eventually suppressing the second personality, restraining his emotions. The years of entanglent thereafter were nothing more than wanting to love, yet not daring to love.

All those gains and losses, those obsessions, the pathology, all stemd from not knowing how long he could possess this late-blooming affection.

So when Delphine chose to leave, he also chose to let go, giving both children and all his assets under his na to her.

Delphine stood up, sowhat flusteredly avoiding them, and went straight into the room. When she ca out again, it was half an hour later, her features still exquisite, but her large black and white eyes were terribly swollen.

Delphine asked hoarsely, "Do the old master and the Howard family matriarch know about this?"
