w Watching Natalia flee in a panic, Callums heart sank. He knew that their future seemed even more elusive than before He summoned Rita with all his strength. âTell the castleâs doctor to treat me immediately Rita happily obliged Finally Callum was showing some fighting spirit.
In his chamber, Callum mustered his courage. He had to get better as soon as possible to stand a hance against Magnus. He refused to believe that he couldnât win. Nataliaâs affection if he gave it his all The doctor was quickly summoned, and after a thorough examination, be informed Callum that he was lucky to have passed through the critical period. However he needed to rest and recuperate. His deteriorated health wasnât something that could be fixed overnight Callum disregarded the doctorâs advice If you cant restore my strength as soon as possible, you might as well leave the mansion Iâm sure there are plenty of people waiting to become my physicianâ
The doctor nodded without hesitation âVery well, your Grace But if you wish to recover quickly, youâll need to undergo more rigorous training than usual âThen stop wasting time and get to it Callum said decisively.
Compared to the possibility of losing Natalia, there was no hardship he couldnât bear While Callum was undergoing recovery training in the mansion, Natalia had safely returned to her small apartment. She gently pushed open the door, and a pi towards her âYou heartless woman, you finally decided to come back! Do you even care about your son?â
Natalia caught the pillow with quick reflexes and chuckled at the fuming Lexi âWell, arenât you here?â
Lex stood up from the sofa, visibly upset âYes, me! You disappear for a whole day without a call. I thought you were locked up in the castle.â
âSweetie, it was just a misunderstanding Cal was really sick, and I was just taking care of him for the night.â
âSure, you took care of him for the night and forgot about us. Natalia, you need to make a decision, Lexi said slyly Natalie was away for a day, leaving Lexi and Jonas in the apartment Fortunately, Lexi knew how to cook, and the apartment had plenty of ingredients.
Jonas was also wellâbehaved and didnât make a fuss. If he were a troublesome child, Lexi thought she would have gone crazy. So, when Natalia returned, she didnât hesitate to throw a pillow at her Faced with Lexiâs teasing, Natalia grimaced Iâm sorry, Lexi I really was just taking care of Cal. Iâm not lyingâ
âMummy, are you trying to find a new daddy for me? Donât you want my old daddy anymore? Jonas, who had been playing on his tablet, suddenly asked His question nearly choked Natalia What did he mean by finding a new daddy and not wanting his old daddy?
After some thought. Natalia turned to Lexi Did you tell Jonas something you shouldnât have? Tell me!
Lexi stuck out her tongue âNo. I just said there might be a possibilityâ
âLEX Natalia shouted âYouâre too much. What nonsense are you telling my child? Thereâs no such thing.â
âAight aight if you say thereâs no such thing, then there isnâtâ Lexi quickly begged for mercy Seeing the two women laughing and fighting on the sofa, little Jonas squinted his eyes. He looked so much like Magnus. If you glanced at him, you might think it was a mus version of Magnus sitting there Mummy. I support your decision to pursue a new life. But the condition is, he must be more handsome and better than Daddy Jonas expressed his opinion senously. Lexi had told him about the emotional entanglement between his mummy and daddy yesterday. As for the adults feelings, he was too young to have a say. But he liked his mummy and as long as she was happy he would support her no matter what decision she made Natalia blushed when she heard Jonasâ words Her son had just given her life advice Lex look at what youâve done Natalia complained softly, moving next to Jonas on the sofa âJonas, things arent as you think. Your Uncle Callum and I are just good friends not lovers Jonas sighed in relief âThatâs great I thought Daddy was really going to be replaced.
