Chapter 292
The Imposter Bride
After saying this, Natalia raised the disposable paper cup in her hand that she had filled with the water she had just fetched.
James wasnât sure how to dissuade Natalia, but since she wanted to give Mr. Magnus some water, he decided to let her James walked over to Magnus, reaching out to help him untie the bindings on his body, allowing him to drink the water Natalia had brought in.
âMagnusâ James untied the ropes while softly calling out to Magnus Magnus had just been knocked unconscious by Carter and was startled awake by the sound. His eyes were a fiery red as he glared at James and growled in a harsh, grating voice âTeal Give me tea!â
Tears flowed down Natalias cheeks as she approached Magnus with the paper cup. The tea is here, right hereâ
Overjoyed. Magnus eyed the cup in Nataliaâs hand and snatched it âGive it to me, now!
Noticing the desire in Magnus eyes. Natalia knew that he was deeply addicted. She carefully stepped forward, bringing the paper cup to Magnusâ lips. However, before she could lift the cup. Magnus had already leaned down and began to desperately suck the water from the cup Tea, give me tealâ
Magnus roar made Natalia shudder, and she almost dropped the paper cup she was holding. The droplets splashed from the cup to Magnusâ mouth. Eagerly, he licked his lips and then bellowed uncontrollably. This isnât tea! You lied to me! This isnât tea at all! Give me teal Now!â
His roar echoed like thunder, causing the whole room to tremble!
Tears welled up in Nataliaâs eyes as she strived to bring the cup to Magnusâ lips. âMagnus, this is the tea you wanted. Please, just take a sip Your lips are cracked from thirst Could you please drink some?
However Magnus was deaf to Nataliaâs pleas. All he could think about was a cup of his beloved tea. He glared at Natalia, yelling. âGet lost! This isnât the tea I wanted! | only want my usual tea Get it for me!
Now!
âThis is your usual tea Just taste it, really, once you taste it, youâll know Natalia patiently coaxed Magnus, her voice soft Though Magnus was delinous, he was moved by Nataliaâs gentle tone and sorrowful eyes. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed Nataliaâs hand âis that you, my dear?â
Tears rolled down Nataliaâs cheeks. Itâs me, Magnus Itâs Natalia. Look at me. I know youâre in pan, but hang in there. Youâll feel better soon.
Magnus temper seemed to soften at the sound of her gentle voice in a hoarse voice, he asked, âMy dear, can you make me some tea?â
âOf course Iâll make it right awayâ Natalia replied, tears streaming down her face She fetched some fine tea leaves and made some tea âMagnus, drink up. This is your favorite tea âReally?â
âYes, really Taste it, and youâll know Natalia nodded repeatedly, hoping Magnus would drink the tea.
Magnus eyed Natalia suspiciously, glaring at her as if she were an enemy. Suddenly, his eyes turned vicious, and he snarled, âGive me another sip. If this isnât tea, youâre dead!â
Natalia lifted the cup to Magnus lips, carefully feeding him the tea. Magnus took a sip and spat out the tea in a fit of rage. He then bit Nataliaâs hand, shouting, âYou liar! Iâl kill you! This isnât the tea | wantedââ
His sudden action caught James and Dr Frankie off guard. By the time they reacted, Magnus had already bitten down hard on Nataliaâs hand.
âDuch Magnus, let go, it hurts, Natalia cried out in pain, pleading for Magnus to let go But Magnus held onto Nataliaâs hand, not loosening his grip at all His eyes were fixed on Natalia as he growled, âI want tea!â
âAlright, weâll get you tea Just let her go first James tried to reason with Magnus, noticing the blood slowly dripping from Nataliaâs bitten hand âTea first Magnus grumbled again, still not letting go of Nataliaâs hand.
âThis isnât working Dr Frankie, hurry! James knew they couldnât delay any longer and signaled Dr Frankie to quickly administer the antidote.
Dr Frankie immediately fetched a syringe âBut Iâm not sure James shot Dr Frankie a stern look âWhatâs there to be sure about? Canât you see Nataliaâs hand is almost getting bitten off? Hurry up! If anything happens, itâs on me if he dies. Iâll join him in the grave!
And if he finds out he hurt Natalia while out of his senses, youâll be the first one he kills!â
With this. Dr. Frankie gathered some courage, took a deep breath, and walked over to Magnus injecting the freshly mixed antidote into his exposed vein.
The pain caused Magnus to release Nataliaâs hand He then turned to Dr. Frankie, his bloody hips curling into a snarl âWhat are you injecting me with? Are you trying to poison me?â
Dr. Frankieâs hand shook, but he quickly composed himself and continued to administer the antidote As Dr Frankie kept silent and still injecting him, Magnus began to curse. âGet away from me! Donât use that needle on me Get me tealâ
However, Dr Frankie remained undeterred by Magnus howls, methodically administering the antidote In the midst of this chaos. Natalia finally managed to wrench her right hand from Magnus mouth Looking at the mangled flesh of her hand, the ache in Nataliaâs heart surpassed the pain in her hand She knew that Magnus was enduring immense pain at this moment, and she couldnât share any of it If her blood could soothe him, she was ready to let him bite!
âGoodness, Natalia, you should get to the doctor right away it might get infected James exclaimed, his heart filled with pity as he looked at Nataliaâs mangled hand âI canât believe he bit you! Why did he bite so hard?â
Natalia just shook her head. Tm fine This minor injury is nothing compared to the pain Magnus is going through She then returned her worned gaze to Dr Frankie, who was still administering the antidote into Magnus bloodstream. âDr. Frankie, will the antidote work?â
Dr Frankie had already pushed all the antidote into Magnus veins Hearing Nataliaâs question, he gave a shaky shake of his head. âHonestly, Iâm not entirely confident,â admitted. âThis poison is just too polent
