Delphine arrived in Nanyang by evening, carrying a surge of anger as she stepped into the Leclair mansion. After three years away, the mansion remained unchanged, deep in the sycamores, the shadows of the trees danced gently, and the red house stood unwavering. Yet this time, the familiar fear and trembling she once felt were absent.
The old butler came to open the door, as if anticipating her return. He approached with a cheerful smile, helping her with her luggage, and glanced at Nicholas, whose features bore a 70–80% resemblance to Ignatius Leclair. The butler chuckled and said, "So this is the little young master?"
"It's Nicholas. How's Benjamin's illness?" Delphine asked urgently.
"Miss Benjamin's condition—Miss Delphine, you'll know once you take a look." The old butler replied with a smile.
After exchanging a few polite words, Delphine hurried upstairs to the side hall to check on Benjamin.
