Chapter 216
The Imposter Bride
âMiss Clarkson,â said Paul solemnly âOur CEO was roughed up by Callums bodyguards yesterday.
Heâs been refusing to go to the hospital and has been running a high fever since last night. Heâs been calling your name deliriouslyâ
âMiss Clarkson, Magnus came to you without his bodyguards. He let Callumâs men beat him, all out of respect for you. Do you really think a small fry like Callum could take down our CEO?
âFor these past years, heâs been searching for you relentlessly, barely sleeping and often drinking himself into oblivion. His bodyâs worn out from the strain. Now, heâs sick and he keeps calling for you.
âPlease, could you go see him? For old times sake. Even if heâs hurt you in the past, heâs also saved you. You canât turn your back on him now!
Paulâs plea cut through Natalia like a knife Was Magnus ill? Why wouldnât he go to the hospital?
Then take him to the hospital. Natalia said dismissively âIf he was willing to go to the hospital, I wouldnât be here begging you, Miss Clarkson Please, go see him This time, he came to England alone, all to bring you back Tm not going back with him!â Natalia declared, turning to walk back into the mansion.
âMiss Clarkson, are you really going to leave him to die? He hasnât eaten in days. If you donât go see him, youâll regret it Paul called after her Nataliaâs body stiffened for a moment, her hands clenched into fists, and she walked to the castle door, closing her eyes She turned and headed towards Paulâs car saying. Take me to see him one last time!â
Paul, surprised and pleased, immediately opened the car door and said, âMs. Clarkson, thank youâ
The car immediately left the castle and headed towards the Crown Hotel.
After Magnus was injured by the bodyguards and heard Natalia telling him to leave, saying they could never be together again, he suddenly felt like the past five years had been a dream. He woke up, and Natalia was by his side.
But she had changed, becoming ruthless and completely rejecting him. She was now engaged to Callum, and he didnât know what to do.
He didnât want to force her to be with him again, as he had caused her so much harm with his previous actions. But what should he do? He lay in the presidential suite, drinking one glass after another until he fell into a deep sleep.
in the middle of the night, Paul pushed the door open and saw Magnus, heavily intoxicated and with a weak breath. His body was burning up Shocked, Paul immediately thought of taking Magnus to the hospital, but Magnus, upon opening his eyes, told him to leave.
Paul had no choice but to call a doctor The doctor said Magnus had internal injures and, combined with the alcohol, his fever wasnât going down. They prescribed medication, but Magnus refused to take it.
Paul had to stay with him all night, using a towel to cool him down Magnus murmured Nataliaâs name in his semiâconscious state, causing Paul great distress. Early in the morning, he went to the castle.
When Natalia entered the hotel room, she found it in disarray. The breakfast and medicine on the table were untouched. She walked to the bedside and saw a man lying lifeless on the pillow Her heart sank, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly Magnus face was emaciated, his long hair and beard making him look like a homeless man rather than the CEO of Andersen Corporation His complexion was pale, lacking any color, and Paul had managed to lower his temperature somewhat with physical cooling throughout the night.
Natalia squatted down Magnus, you need to go to the hospital or go back to Melfort! Donât die here.â
Magnus heard her voice and his eyelids twitched slightly. He slowly opened his eyes a little and saw the girl in front of him. His wife?
âNatalia his throat couldnât produce sound, but the person in front of him was his wife Oh, he was dreaming again.
In his dreams, she never spoke, but now she was speaking âNat is it you?â
Magnus struggled to move his body and reached out to touch her face, but as soon as he made contact with Natalia, she turned her face away âMagnus, get up and go to the hospital. Who are you showing this childish behavior to? Donât die here, and donât come looking for me. We have nothing to do with each other Natalia looked at the manâs haggard face, and his eyes were fully open, bright eyes met hers Magnus looked at her moving ps as she spoke, and his blood surged with excitement. It was his wife, she had come in his dreams, his wife couldnât speak, but now she was speaking âNat. I knew you would come, I knew it was you Madam, please listen to my explanationâ
Magnus held onto Nataliaâs wrist tightly, and Natalia tried to pull her hand back forcefully. She was unable to withdraw her hand, perhaps because he was sick, or perhaps because her own heart was struggling âNat baby, Irlow itâs you Nat, dont leave The man on the bed suddenly sat up and lunged towards the girl who was about to leave. He fell to the ground, tightly hugging Nataliaâs legs Paul quickly walked over to help him, but Magnus waved his hand forcefully. âGet away!â
Paul almost stumbled Why was he suddenly so strong?
Magnus held onto Nataliaâs legs tightly, begging her not to leave. The girl was already in tears, but she used all her strength to remove the manâs hands and left the room Behind her, Magnus saw her resolute figure, and his vision blurred, fainting âMr Magnus Paul hurriedly helped the man up from the floor, but upon seeing him faint, he immediately called the hospital Natalla heard Paulâs voice and hesitated for a moment, but she wiped away her tears and stepped into the elevator Paul would take her to the hospital, but she couldnât see Magnus again. She was afraid that if she saw him one more time, she wouldnât be able to gather the courage to leave.
She knew that she had to let go of everything that had happened in the past. Callum had save kindness. As for Magnus she hoped that he would become a thing of the past At the hospital The strong smell of antiseptic roused Magnut back to consciousness, as a taken care of her for five years.

That was good to know just the fact that derâd come she still cared Hit woman he still understood her a bit. He allowed himself a small smile
