Richard Shaw arrived at the villa in the middle of the night. When Ignatius Leclair got up, Delphine was startled awake and hoarsely asked, "What's wrong?"
The man's movements grew even gentler. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her lips, his deep voice murmuring, "Richard's here. You continue sleeping, I'll go check on him."
Delphine immediately woke up and got up to put on her coat.
Richard Shaw had just come from the Squire Family and was sitting in the living room. The security guards and medical personnel accompanying him were urgently extracting a bullet and treating his wound.
As soon as Delphine came downstairs, Ignatius Leclair was already standing in front of her, covering her eyes, and said gravely, "Don't look. It's a gunshot wound."
