The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 278

The attending physician was well aware of Magnus' status, and naturally, he didn't dare to express any frustration. Instead, he nodded firmly and confidently. "Indeed, Mrs. Andersen has fully recovered after these few days of rest. She will not suffer any residual effects."

Only then did Magnus show satisfaction. "That's good. Is there anything I need to be particularly careful about when we return home? For example, her diet, habits, any special requirements?"

The physician frowned in exasperation. "Mr. Andersen, Mrs. Andersen is now a perfectly healthy individual and no longer a patient. There’s nothing special she needs to be mindful of."

"Very well, you may go now," Magnus said, waving his hand at the doctor. "And thank you for taking care of my wife these past few days."

The doctor was so shocked his jaw dropped. He was probably the first person to ever receive thanks from Magnus in all of Melfort.

Good heavens! He had to buy a lottery ticket later!

The overwhelmed doctor, forgetting to respond with pleasantries, hurried out of the room.

Upon hearing that she could be discharged at any time, Natalia felt a surge of euphoria. Ha, let's see how Magnus was going to keep her here now!

Magnus, watching Natalia's enthusiastic reaction, smiled warmly. "My dear, it seems you got your wish."

"Of course," Natalia replied, her spirits high. "Finally escaping this drab place. Let's go, let's go!"

Magnus, full of affection, looked at Natalia. "Why don’t we grab lunch together? I hear there’s a new sushi place in town."

Natalia feigned hesitation. "I'll have to think about it."

"Come on, they say the sashimi is excellent. Will you accompany me, my love?" Magnus coaxed, wrapping his arm around Natalia and leading her out of the hospital.

Soon, they arrived at the busiest part of Melfort, where a new Japanese restaurant recently opened.

As soon as they entered, the staff greeted them with enthusiastic smiles. "Welcome!"

Magnus nodded eagerly, guiding Natalia toward the seafood tanks. It was lunchtime, yet the new sashimi place was not crowded. Maybe it was because it was newly opened.

Natalia tugged at Magnus' sleeve, whispering, "This place seems quiet. Maybe the food isn't that great. Should we try somewhere else?"

Magnus chuckled, leaning in to whisper in Natalia's ear, "My love, the reason it's quiet is because they only serve gold card customers."

Natalia looked around at the opulent decor of the restaurant, impressed despite herself. However, that was their business strategy, and she had no place to comment. Natalia laughed at her own thoughts and focused her attention on the various seafood in the tank.

The woman didn’t seem to mind that Magnus couldn’t remember her name. She extended her hand toward Natalia. "Hello, I'm Belle, Mr. Andersen's assistant. I'm delighted to meet you. You're just as radiant as the rumors say."

Natalia couldn't afford to be too petty either, even though she couldn't help but find the smile on the girl named Belle's face a bit annoying. It was as if that seemingly enthusiastic smile was forced.

Natalia shook her head inwardly, realizing that she was probably being too sensitive. After all, she didn't even know this girl in front of her, so how could she make assumptions like that?

Natalia reached out and shook Belle's hand. "Hello, I'm Natalia."

Belle’s eyes lit up. "Yes, I've heard a lot about you, Mrs. Andersen."

Magnus didn't have much of an opinion about Belle, other than what his former assistant had told him - that Belle was incredibly competent at her job. So, when his previous assistant had to resign for personal reasons, Belle seemed like the obvious choice to be promoted to the executive office.

In his eyes, Belle was different from the other secretaries in the company. Some of them would stutter and stammer in fear when they saw him, while others were overly eager to the point of being uncomfortable. However, Belle had always struck the right balance, showing a kind of rare poised leadership. This was the main reason why he agreed to promote Belle, who had only been with the company for two months, to a much higher position.

"Darling, this is Belle, my current executive assistant. She's quite exceptional at her work," Magnus casually introduced Belle, not bothering to say anything more, mainly because he didn't know much else about her.

Natalia couldn't help but admire Belle. She knew that it took a lot to impress someone as demanding as Magnus, and there were very few who could earn such accolades from him.
