Delphine lost her support and collapsed onto the carpet, her whole body tensed like a drawn bow, trembling uncontrollably, unable to get up for a long while.
Ten minutes later, Maximilian knocked on the door and spoke softly: "Miss Delphine, the family doctor is here. Madam Gu is fine."
For such a scandal, Madam Gu naturally couldn't be sent to the hospital—only the family doctor could be brought to the Leclair mansion.
Delphine wanted to speak, but her voice was hoarse and incapable of making any sound. She struggled to her feet, casually grabbed one of Ignatius Leclair's coats, tightly wrapped her bruised body, opened the door, and stepped out.
Maximilian saw her emerge—her face pale and expressionless, wearing the coat of Mr. Leclair, appearing so fragile she might collapse with a single gust of wind. His expression changed instantly, hesitating to offer help but ultimately dared not.
"I'll find a doctor for you," Maximilian said softly, lowering his gaze.
