Chapter 311
The Imposter Bride
Magnus slowly shook his head. âNo. Im 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 âAlright, Iâll get you some water right nowâ
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?â
âYeah, Iâm alright. It feels like Iâve just awoken from a dream My head is still a bit foggy but not as heavy as before Magnus replied, pointing to his body âThereâs still an itching sensation all over my body itâs a bit uncomfortable âDr Frankie. Dr Frankie, come here! Mr. Magnus says heâs 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, heâs not feeling well Dr Frankie was also somewhat nervous After all. Belle provided the antidote, and although he had tested it, he wasnât sure if it would trigger any side effects âMr Magnus, where do you feel uncomfortable? You must tell me in detail I canât be sure if these are indeed the antidotesâ
Before Dr. Frankie could finish his sentence, James grumbled, âWhat? You re not even sure, and you gave it to Magnus? Have you lost your mind?
âWhat else could I do? Youâre 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 werent at our witâs end, do you think I would have used the antidote Belle provided?â 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 hadnât expected Dr. Frankie would say so much. It seemed that Dr. Frankie had been under a lot of pressure these days just like him âDr Frankie, you know I didnât mean it that wayâ James said apologetically, âThe most important thing now is to heal Mr. Magnus as soon as possible. As for that vicious woman, Belle. I hope I donât catch her Otherwise, I will teach her a lesson that there are some people in this world who should not be messed with!â
While Dr Frankie and James were arguing. Magnus gradually regained his strength. He raised his hand to signal them to stop arguing. Iâm fine, just a bit itchy and sore Nothing else Despite their little argument. Dr Frankie and James never stopped caring for Magnus âMr Magnus, your body hasnât shown any adverse reactions This proves that the medicine is definitely the antidote. The itchiness and soreness are due to the extent of your previous poisoning Iâll prepare some medicine for you to speed up your recovery James added âMagnus a lot has happened while you were ill. Once youâre fully recovered, Iâll fill you in.
Or you could ask Natalia. Sheâs been by your side all this time, barely eating or sleeping sheâs lost quite a bit of weight At the mention of Belle Magnus felt an ominous feeling James, go fetch my wife I wish to see her He missed Natalia dearly. He remembered her kiss and her comforting words. She had promised to travel the world with him and their son Jonas He wanted to tell her he was fine and ready to fulfill that promise James laughed. âNo problem, Iâll be on my way Dr. Frankie, Iâm leaving Mr. Magnus in your hands. If you canât get him back to his old self soon, youâll have to answer to my fists. He joked raising his fists at Dr Frankie. He then headed to Jonas villa to fetch Natalia.
Dr Frankie now certain Belleâs antidote worked, felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders. He began formulating a recovery plan for Magnus, aiming to get him back on his feet in no time Magnus was eager to cooperate with Dr. Frankie. He remembered Nataliaâs gentle care and encouraging words. He remembered her singing to him during his delinum. He remembered promising to recover quickly, promising to take Natalia and little Jonas on a worldwide tour, promising to let Natalia do anything she wanted During those unbearable days when it felt like he was being fried alive in hellâs kitchen, Natalia had been by his side every step of the way Now that he had finally to rid himself of that soulâsucking 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 pick up Natalia, rushed in Magnus, somethingâs wrongâ
Magnus raised an eyebrow âWhat is it?
âLook, 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 didnât ask, afraid it would upset her more. I immediately went to find Jonas, and he said Natalia told him to 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 Jonasâ
âYes, 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 panicked that he was sweating profusely
