Chapter 312

TIS WAS NO to on his hospital bed, determination etched on his face. “I must go back immediately, I need to find her and talk things out. I need to know why she had those things Dr. Franke and James rushed to his side Dr Frankie tried to dissuade him, “Mr. Magnus, you’ve just detoxed. Even a superhero couldn’t bounce back that quickly. Le back nes and I handle this Your wife is kind–hearted. She’ll be alright”

Listen to Dr. Frankie Magnus We’re here for you. I’ll go find her right now. Perhaps Jonas was just kidding around, and she’s out shopping for groceries, James hastily added trying to keep Magnus calm But Magnus shook his head resolutely Something’s wrong. She was with me all night, and her eyes were full of emotions i didn’t understand i get it now, she must be hiding something As he spoke something seemed to click in Magnus mind. He turned to Dr. Frankie. Did you say Belle was here?

Yes Mr Magnus When I arrived this morning, I found Belle standing in this room I don’t know how she found it. She handed me the antidote and disappeared when I was busy confirming its authenticity Dr Frankie said regretfully “I was too careless I should have detained her Magnus heart skipped a beat Belle, who had gone to great lengths to poison him, was now bringing him the antidote Something was off “Help me up I have to go home right now No delays Magnus asserted Dr Frankie looked troubled “Mr. Magnus, you just detoxed and haven’t fully recovered. You can’t push yourself like this.”

“Indeed you’ve been through a lot these past days. You need proper rest. If there’s anything you need, we can do it for you, James added, trying to dissuade him But Magnus always decisive and quick in action, frowned at their suggestions. “No Belle’s sudden appearance here must have something to do with my wife. I can’t rest until i find her. Besides its been a while since I last saw Jonas”

Magnus was so determined. Dr. Frankie and James had no choice but to comply. They fetched a wheelchair, helped Magnus into it, and drove him to his home Throughout the ride. Magnus brows were furrowed His face was pale, a result of the poisoning. He was filled with unease He was anxious about Natalia. She had taken care of him relentlessly, never leaving his side. Now she was suddenly missing, and Belle had unexpectedly brought him the antidote. It was clear to Magnus that Natalia must have agreed to some sort of condition Belle had set Although he didn’t know what that condition was, Magnus mind was in chaos. He feared nothing, not even death or pain. The only thing he feared was losing Natalia!

“Drive faster Magnus urged, feeling the car was moving too slowly.

James, who was driving was left speechless. He was driving a top–of–the–line Ferrari, already hitting a speed of 280 kilometers per hour, and Magnus still thought it was slow But understanding Magnus urgency, James floored the accelerator The sleek Ferrari shot towards Magnus‘ home like a bullet.

Soon, they arrived at the mansion James and Dr Frankie helped Magnus out of the car and into the house.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Magnus looked at the white flowers hanging on the door of his house and his face darkened. “Why are these depressing things hanging on my door?

Dr Frankie and James exchanged glances, not knowing how to break the news of Morgan’s death to Magnus.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Magnus voice turned colder “Tell me, why are these flowers hanging on my door?!” Despite his cold exterior, Magnus heart was filled with dread An awful suspicion had formed in his mind, one he prayed would not come true Caught in an awkward position, James and Dr Frankie didn’t know what to say Just then, May emerged from the house, her face stained with tears. Seeing Magnus, she rushed towards him Mr Magnus, you’re back? Thank heavens, you’re safe”

Magnus looked at the tearful May and asked directly. “May, why are these flowers on my door?”

May’s smile faltered Mr Magnus, don’t you know? Mr. Morgan has passed away Initially, Morgan’s death wasn’t announced at the Andersen Family Estate. Lucius wanted to hold the funeral at Magnus mansion as he blamed Magnus for Morgan’s death May’s words hit Magnus like a ton of bricks. He’d had a terrible suspicion, but he’d hoped against all hope it wouldn’t come true. Little did he know, his worst fears were indeed reality Magnus froze for a moment, his body beginning to tremble He swallowed the intense pain gnawing at his insides, his voice turning hoarse. It was me The damned person is me He clung tightly to the armrests of his wheelchair, lifting his head in agony “Was Grandpa at peace when he passed?”

With that, Magnus turned to Dr Frankie, who was standing beside him Dr Frankie, you’re the private physician of our family I need you to tell me the truth. Was my grandfather at peace when he passed?

What was the cause of his death?

Dr. Frankie hesitated, letting out a long sigh Mr. Magnus, that day your brother Lucius brought Morgan to the hospital to see you Morgan saw you in the throes of a drug–induced frenzy, chained and raving it gave him a heart attack “I knew it was because of me Magnus whispered, guilt flooding his features as he bowed his head. He could vaguely recall his wild antics while drugs No wonder his grandfather had suffered a heart attack, Magnus had truly let Morgan down influence of na passing
