Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 447

Another hospital room.

While Victor was bringing Isadora in, Kemp had the bodyguards escort Wendy, who'd been left behind, to the hospital as well.

Wendy wasn't pregnant, so her condition was much better than Isadora's. After the doctor's treatment, her temperature was back to normal, but her legs were still stiff and she moved slowly.

Anxious and restless, she climbed down from the hospital bed, desperate to see Isadora.

She shuffled to the door of the VIP room, where two burly, black-suited bodyguards stood watch. There was no way past them. All Wendy could do was stand helplessly outside, peering in.

Through the glass, she saw the distinguished heir sitting motionless at Isadora's bedside. Victor looked almost like a marble statue, unmoving, his eyes locked on the woman lying in the bed.

Earlier, Wendy had already asked the doctors about Isadora's condition. The news had been grim, and dread settled heavy in her chest.

Now, seeing Isadora in person—pale as a ghost and lying so still—made Wendy's heart ache so fiercely she could barely breathe. Tears slipped uncontrollably down her face.

She sobbed, her voice thick with guilt and regret. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened to you, Isadora."

"I'm so, so sorry. Please, Isadora, you have to wake up."

Her anguished cries echoed from the doorway.

Victor's expression didn't flicker. His dark eyes never strayed from Isadora's face; in that moment, she was his entire world.

"Please—can I see her? Just for a second," Wendy pleaded, trying to inch closer to the bed. But as soon as she moved, the bodyguards blocked her way.

Victor's voice cut through the air like a winter storm. "Get out."

His tone was glacial, instantly chilling the atmosphere in the room.

If Isadora weren't lying here—if Victor didn't know she would be upset—he might not have been able to restrain himself.
