The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 310

Dr. Frankie, baffled by the whole situation, didn't have time to ponder. He dashed in, grabbing Belle's arm. "Belle, you've got some nerve showing up here!"

Standing in Magnus' hospital room was none other than Belle, whose real name was Isabella. She had come to deliver the antidote. She had been hiding outside the hospital the previous night, waiting until she was sure that Natalia, that dimwit, had finally left. Natalia had sworn on Jonas’ life, the son she was so smitten with. So, with confidence, Belle had strutted into the hospital.

Isabella knew Natalia wouldn't dare spill the beans about their deal; she was confident she wouldn’t. So when Dr. Frankie confronted her, she defiantly shook off his hand. "What's your problem? I'm here to bring Magnus his antidote. Back off!"

Dr. Frankie was taken aback by Belle's audacity. "You've been poisoning Mr. Magnus, and yet you have the nerve to strut around here. What’s going on?"

Isabella gave him a dismissive glance, brandishing the antidote in her hand. "I came to give Magnus his antidote. I love him, and I want him. What's wrong with that? I'm sure Natalia has given him the first dose because his condition hasn't worsened. But for him to fully recover, he needs this second dose."

"Hand it over!" demanded Dr. Frankie, reaching out to snatch the antidote.

“This woman,” he thought, “I'll tear her apart once I have the antidote in my hands!”

Isabella pulled back. "I have a condition!"

"What condition?" Dr. Frankie asked coldly, refusing to believe that Belle would make things easy.

Isabella snapped her fingers, looking triumphant. "You stop hunting me down, and promise not to hold me accountable. Then, I'll hand you the antidote."

"Deal! I won't hold you accountable. Give me the antidote." Dr. Frankie extended his hand towards Isabella, thinking to himself, “I can only speak for myself. When Mr. Magnus wakes up, it's between him and you.”

Isabella was elated that Dr. Frankie had agreed to her conditions so quickly. "Great, I trust your promise. Here's the second dose of the antidote. But it's not for oral use. You need to mix it with 0.9% saline solution, then inject it into the muscle."

Dr. Frankie finally understood where he and his mentor had been going wrong. They had been tirelessly trying to formulate an antidote but had never thought of this method. What a clever trick!

"So that's it. No wonder my mentor and I couldn't develop the right antidote," Dr. Frankie mumbled to himself. When he looked up, Belle had already disappeared.

Dr. Frankie was somewhat annoyed, having let Belle slip away while he was deep in thought. But he quickly forgot about it and decided to inject Magnus with the antidote.

He didn't hesitate to go to the pathology lab to test the antidote for any harmful side effects first. The results came back quickly. Magnus' toxins were quickly neutralized upon contact with the antidote. It was definitely the antidote.

Dr. Frankie followed Belle's instructions, mixing the antidote with 0.9% saline solution, and preparing to inject it into Magnus' muscle. Just then, a booming voice filled the room. "Dr. Frankie, is Mr. Magnus doing any better than yesterday?"

Dr. Frankie nodded. "I've tested it myself. It's undoubtedly the antidote."

"That's weird. Why would she be so kind? I wouldn't believe it if I were dead!" James exclaimed, then turned to Dr. Frankie with a puzzled look. "By the way, where's Natalia? I haven't seen her."

Dr. Frankie shook his head. "I haven't seen her either. Maybe she went home to take care of the little guy?"

"Right, ever since Mr. Magnus has been hospitalized, she's been stuck by his side like glue, not even having the time to care for their son. Now I understand why Mr. Magnus can't live without her," James said, then urged Dr. Frankie anxiously, "Please check on him. Didn't you say it's the real antidote? Why hasn't there been any reaction yet?"

Dr. Frankie nodded and walked towards the bedside, just in time to see Magnus slowly open his eyes.

Without needing to check, Dr. Frankie knew the moment he saw Magnus' eyes that the poison in his body was slowly dissipating. Magnus' eyes were so clear and bright, they were no longer clouded as they once were.

"Dr. Frankie?" Magnus felt a bit dizzy, but still asked subconsciously, "Where's my wife?"

"Mr. Magnus, I haven't seen her either. She's probably gone to take care of your son," Dr. Frankie respectfully replied. "How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort, or anything that makes you feel unwell?"
