The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 311

Magnus slowly shook his head. "No, I'm just a bit parched."

Dr. Frankie was delighted to hear this, as it was the first time Magnus had asked for water during his stay here. "Alright, I'll get you some water right now."

With that, Dr. Frankie walked towards the water dispenser in the room, preparing water at the perfect temperature for Magnus.

Now that Magnus regained consciousness, James felt a wave of relief wash over him. He strode over and asked quietly, "Mr. Magnus, are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, I'm alright. It feels like I've just awoken from a dream. My head is still a bit foggy but not as heavy as before," Magnus replied, pointing to his body. "There's still an itching sensation all over my body. It's a bit uncomfortable."

"Dr. Frankie, Dr. Frankie, come here! Mr. Magnus says he's still feeling uncomfortable." James anxiously rushed over to Dr. Frankie and dragged him over.

Caught off guard by James, Dr. Frankie nearly spilled the water he had just fetched. "Easy, take it slow."

James hastily took the water from Dr. Frankie and pushed him towards Magnus. "Hurry, he's not feeling well."

Dr. Frankie was also somewhat nervous. After all, Belle provided the antidote, and although he had tested it, he wasn't sure if it would trigger any side effects.

"Mr. Magnus, where do you feel uncomfortable? You must tell me in detail. I can't be sure if these are indeed the antidotes."

Before Dr. Frankie could finish his sentence, James grumbled, "What? You're not even sure, and you gave it to Magnus? Have you lost your mind?"

"What else could I do? You're well aware of Mr. Magnus' condition. If we delayed further, the virus would have continued to eat away at him like a nasty termite. If we weren't at our wit's end, do you think I would have used the antidote Belle provided?" Dr. Frankie passionately defended himself. "As a doctor, the most intolerable thing is to be threatened by disease. My mentor and I have experienced countless failures, and we have to admit that the poison used by Belle is too despicable! Not being able to develop an antidote is our greatest sorrow."

James knew this was the case. He only complained a bit, but he hadn't expected Dr. Frankie would say so much. It seemed that Dr. Frankie had been under a lot of pressure these days just like him.

"Dr. Frankie, you know I didn't mean it that way," James said apologetically, "The most important thing now is to heal Mr. Magnus as soon as possible. As for that vicious woman, Belle, I hope I don't catch her. Otherwise, I will teach her a lesson that there are some people in this world who should not be messed with!"

During those unbearable days when it felt like he was being fried alive in hell's kitchen, Natalia had been by his side every step of the way. Now that he had finally managed to rid himself of that soul-sucking poison, his only job was to recover and fulfill any promise he had ever made to Natalia.

Dr. Frankie had been bustling about in the hospital room for half the day, and Magnus had been following his directions without question. Just then, James, who had gone to pick up Natalia, rushed in. "Magnus, something’s wrong."

Magnus raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"Look, Magnus, I went to pick up Nat, but when I got there, May told me that she had come home, grabbed a small bag, and left again in tears. She thought Natalia was crying because you were ill and in the hospital, so she didn't ask, afraid it would upset her more. I immediately went to find Jonas, and he said Natalia told him to be strong and take care of himself. Mr. Magnus, what…"

Before James could finish, Magnus was already struggling to get up from the bed in horror, "What? She said that to Jonas?"

"Yes, Jonas also said that Natalia told him to listen to his father and be a man. Magnus, the more I listened, the more it felt wrong, so I hurried back." James was so panicked that he was sweating profusely.
