the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart-Chapter 639: Who Would Have Thought the Perfect Heir of the Leclair Family Would Be So Deeply Obsessed
Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Who Would Have Thought the Perfect Heir of the Leclair Family Would Be So Deeply Obsessed
Delphine’s trembling body suddenly froze. She lifted her slightly reddened eyes to look at Leah. Seeing Leah gently nod, she finally believed it—she truly found Griffith Squire. Despair was instantly replaced by wild joy.
Leah noticed Richard Shaw walking over from the direction of the emergency room. She winked at Delphine and whispered, "Don’t tell Richard Shaw."
Delphine nodded. The two kept silent about Griffith Squire.
"Don’t worry, the doctors are doing their best to save him." Richard Shaw, seated in a wheelchair, wore a rare look of solemnity on his handsome, resolute face. He asked Delphine, "Did you do something recently to provoke him?"
Delphine appeared somewhat flustered and answered, "I just lied to the elderly matriarch, saying I had found someone suitable for a relationship, and then he..."
Richard Shaw furrowed his brows. If the person weren’t in the operating room, he’d truly want to drag him out and give him a solid beating.
"Has old Leclair ever talked to you about his second personality?"
Delphine shook her head.
Richard Shaw spoke in a low voice, "Maybe schizophrenia is considered an illness for others, but for old Leclair, it’s not entirely the case. The environment in which he grew up was extremely harsh—his parents’ failed marriage, the interference of mistresses in the family, power struggles and disputes in the worlds of fame and wealth, and the expectations placed on him by the Leclair Family patriarch. All of this forced him from a young age to become the perfect heir of a storied family.
He couldn’t show weakness, couldn’t express emotions, and had to let rationality reign supreme over everything. But deep down, he inherited emotional sensitivity from his mother. Over the years, this led to the emergence of his second personality—a personality created to relieve his crumbling emotions."
"Old Leclair suppressing his second personality essentially means discarding the outlet for his emotional release. Though he hasn’t shown signs of it in recent years, he’s already been walking on a razor’s edge." Richard Shaw said nonchalantly.
These past years, Ignatius Leclair has been desperately repressing all of his emotions, suppressing his second personality, and resolutely insisting on divorcing Delphine—all out of fear that one day, his powerful self might reveal a weakness, or worse, be controlled by someone else. Yet affairs of the heart are peculiar—the more they’re repressed, the more terrifying they become upon eruption.
Richard Shaw sighed. This explosion was beyond everyone’s expectations. No one thought that in these years, old Leclair’s personality had become this obsessive—ruthless to others, even more ruthless to himself.
Richard Shaw quietly glanced at Delphine. He hadn’t expected that old Leclair’s affection was for such a woman—delicate, sensitive, reserved, joyless, cold, and serene. He pondered deeply, wondering whether it was Ignatius Leclair’s main personality that first fell for Delphine Carter, or his second personality.
From a young age, this girl—pure-hearted, lovely, and raised in the family—stood out as a refreshing stream in the gaudy, bustling, and emotionless world of fame and fortune in the South Seas. It’s natural she’d easily capture someone’s goodwill.
"His illness is his own problem. Why should Delphine have to suffer along with it?" Leah sneered coldly.
Richard Shaw smiled bitterly and replied, "These past years, though Delphine has suffered greatly, the internal struggles within old Leclair’s heart haven’t been any less. He simply hasn’t shown them."
In the midst of their conversation, a commotion erupted from the direction of the emergency room. The lights in the operating room went dark.
The surgery for Ignatius Leclair was a great success. He was now out of danger, and everyone discreetly let out a sigh of relief. For a moment, the gazes directed at Delphine became complex.
Who could have imagined that the perfect heir of the Leclair Family would hold such profound obsession for his ex-wife? The most heartless individuals often prove to be the most devoted.
