Inside Emerald Hill Villas, Maximilian saw Ji An come out and hurriedly grabbed him, asking, "Does that bearded man's hypnosis have side effects?"
Ji An pulled his hand away and, somewhat stammering, said, "Don't, don't tug and pull like that—it's indecent. The bearded man hypnotized Mr. Leclair before, nothing, nothing will go wrong."
Maximilian still felt uneasy. Everything that had happened over the past half month was too unusual. The day Miss Delphine gave birth, Mr. Leclair heard the sound of the baby's crying. The man, originally pale as death, showed a hint of joy but suddenly fainted. Although he woke up quickly, when his eyes reopened, he was a completely different person. He took only one glance at the two children and didn't say a single word about Miss Delphine.
Although Mr. Leclair had always been stoic and withdrawn, his current demeanor exuded a chilling indifference—not just to strangers, but even Maximilian felt like he was at risk of frostbite.
