The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 291

His words left everyone in the room shocked and speechless. Death from a body riddled with sores!

Upon hearing this, Natalia's vision blurred, and she nearly collapsed.

James threw the medical report onto the floor, grabbing Dr. Frankie by the shoulders and shaking him

violently. "Since you know what it is, make an antidote quickly! No matter what, you must produce an

antidote!"

Dr. Frankie hesitated for a moment. "This poison is very potent. I'm not entirely confident. I can only try

my best to concoct a cure. But, I can't guarantee it will work."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Get to it!" James impatiently urged Dr. Frankie. "You didn't earn your

title as a miracle doctor for nothing. Can this really stump you?”

"James, many things are not as simple as they seem." Dr. Frankie sighed and headed towards the

pathology lab.

Watching Dr. Frankie's retreating figure, Natalia's heart clenched with worry. She looked at James

anxiously. "Is this poison really that hard to cure? Even Dr. Frankie is helpless."

James, too, was uncertain. He believed in Dr. Frankie's ability to concoct an antidote, and he had to!

Looking at Natalia's tear-filled eyes, James consoled her, "Don't worry, Natalia! Dr. Frankie is

remarkable, he'll surely come up with a solution soon."

All Natalia could do now was wait. She anxiously looked through the glass window at Magnus, who

was unconscious on the bed. Carter had already re-tied him.

"Isn't it uncomfortable for him to be tied up like this? Can we loosen him a bit? At least it will make him

less uncomfortable." She had never seen Magnus like this before. Her heart ached.

James shook his head, pointing to Paul, who had been standing quietly nearby. “Did you see the

bandage on Paul’s head, Natalia? Did you see how he nearly strangled me earlier? He’s not in his right

mind right now, and he doesn't care who you are. If you get too close, he'll try to kill you."

Natalia looked at Paul and apologized, "Paul, are you okay? You should go get checked by a doctor."

Paul shook his head. "I'm fine, ma'am. I owe my life to Mr. Magnus. As long as he is safe, I wouldn't

hesitate to die for him."

Upon hearing Paul's loyal words, Natalia was touched. Magnus was truly blessed to have such a

devoted subordinate.

"Paul, you're injured. Go and rest. I'll be here and call you if anything happens," Natalia softly

persuaded Paul to take a break.

However, Paul insisted he was fine and refused to leave. Natalia had no choice but to let him stay. She

sighed deeply, gently taking Magnus' hand. The sight of his bruised and battered body made her heart

feel like it was shattering.

Back in the day, Magnus was untamed and proud. When had he ever looked this pitiful?

But now, he looked like a drug addict, and it was heart-wrenching to see.

‘Magnus, what happened to you? How did you get poisoned? You have to hang in there!’

"Natalia, you've been here for two days and two nights. Go rest, Paul and I will take care of things

here," James quietly urged her to rest. "Don't collapse before Mr. Magnus recovers."

Natalia was grateful for James' kindness. She forced a smile. "Thank you, I'm fine, really. Instead of

worrying at home, it's better for me to watch over him. This way, I can find some peace."

"Alright then, I'll go check on Dr. Frankie. This is going to be a long process, so we need to be

prepared," James said as he headed toward the lab.

The lab wasn't far from Magnus' room. This was a private hospital for Magnus, so although small, it

was equipped with the latest and most advanced medical facilities.

James was familiar with the place and quickly reached the lab. He could see Dr. Frankie and his team

working on the antidote through the glass door. He entered the lab, trying to tread lightly. He walked up

to Dr. Frankie and asked quietly, "Any progress?"

Dr. Frankie, who was engrossed in his work, jumped at the sound of James' voice, nearly dropping the

test tube he was holding. "Can't you make some noise when you walk?" Dr. Frankie glared at James.

"Next time, don't sneak up on me like that. It could give someone a heart attack."

James refrained from arguing with Dr. Frankie. They were in a crisis, and their main focus was on

creating an antidote for Magnus. "Fine, I'll be more careful next time." James straightened his face.

"Have you made any progress with the antidote? Why is it taking so long?"

Dr. Frankie sighed deeply, "This isn't as simple as treating a cold or fever, it's a lethal poison! It could

take weeks. I've thought of a potential antidote, but I'm not sure if it will work."

"What are you waiting for then? Go give it to Magnus. He's barely recognizable anymore!" James was

impatient, quickly jumping to conclusions. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Dr. Frankie halted, shrugging off James' unrelenting pressure. "Can you chill a bit? I've got a potential

antidote in mind, but I can't guarantee it'll neutralize the poison."

"We've got to try something, don't we? Look at Natalia. She's practically cried herself dry. How are we

supposed to go on like this?" James said, glancing at the myriad of bottles and vials in the lab.

"Even though this situation is being kept under wraps, won't the Andersen Corporation's shareholders

start suspecting something when they don't see Magnus around? And it'll kill Grandpa if he finds out!"

Dr. Frankie sighed, "Guess we're grasping at straws here."

The two men headed to the special care ward where Magnus was held. They found Natalia sitting by

the bed, watching Magnus, who was bound and immobile.

As James stepped in, he comforted her. "Hang in there, Natalia. Magnus will pull through."

Natalia was surprised at how quickly James had returned. Standing up, she said, "Magnus' lips look

parched. He must be thirsty. I want to give him some water."
