Chapter 272
The Imposter Bride
Bending over, Addison picked up the kitchen knife, her voice bitter and cold. âNatalia, you would have to be dead first! Then I will return him safe and sound to the Andersen family, without a hair on his head harmed!â
Watching Addison, who seemed to have lost her mind, and the heartless Kyler, Natalia began to chuckle. She slowly approached Addison.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the hand that held the knife Before Addison could react, Natalia snatched the knife from her and tossed it at Kylerâs feet âYouâ Addison was taken aback, never expecting Natalia to fight back, and her wrist began to ache Natalia looked at Addison with indifference âYou think you can bully me like you did five years ago?â
In the four years since Callum woke her up, he had taught her many self defense and grappling techniques in order to strengthen her body. Therefore, Addison couldnât hurt her at all Addison panicked, shouting at Kyler who was standing by the window, âKyler, you fool, subdue her!â
Just then, Natalia brushed Addison aside, causing her to fall to the floor Natalia rushed to the couch and held Jonas Jonas, are you okay?â
Panicked, Natalia picked up Jonas and made her way out of the room.
Addison got up from the floor and picked up the knife that was by Kylerâs feet. She aimed it at Nataliaâs back!
âStop, Addison Kyler finally snapped out of his daze, but it was too late. Bright red blood began to flow from Nataliaâs shoulder.
At that moment, the door was kicked open, and Magnus saw Natalia holding Jonas, a knife lodged in her shoulder.
âHoney Magnus shouted With a loud thud, Addison was kicked by Magnus and flew back, crashing into the living room wall and rebounding onto the TV Policemen flooded in from outside, subduing Kyler and Addison on the floor.
Magnus eyes were bloodshot. Holding Jonas with one hand and supporting the paleâfaced Natalia with the other, he said, âHold on, Honey Iâll take you to the hospital right away!
Paul hurnedly took the unconscious Jonas Magnus picked up Natalia and rushed to his car, heading straight for the hospital.
Kylerâs house was in chaos after Magnus left. Several policemen surrounded Addison. âYouâre Addison? Youâre suspected of kidnapping. Come with us!â
Addison got up from the floor, clutching her aching head. âWhat? Kidnapping? When did I kidnap anyone?â
The police officer put handcuffs on Addison âYou know what you did. Save your explanations for the police station!â
With that, the officer pulled Addison up from the ground and pushed her toward the door.
Kyler, desperate, tried to intervene âOfficers, my wife just lost her head for a moment. Please forgive her. She wonât do it again.â
âMr Kyler youâre a respected figure in Melfort. Kidnapping is not a joke. Weâll handle this case impartially, the officer advised him. âYou should be pleading with Mr Andersen, not us He might be able to reduce the charges against your wife. Otherwise, sheâll spend the rest of her life in jail Hearing this, Addison nearly lost her mind. She cried out to Kyler, âKyler, I donât want to go to jail! Go find Natalia! Itâs all her fault! She should save me!â
Kyler looked at his wife, her makeup smeared from crying and he felt helpless Addison, if you had listened to me earlier, we wouldnât be in this situation. But youâre still blaming Natalia I donât know what to say to youâ
âHow could you say that?â Addison screamed. âIf it werenât for you being so useless, I would have avenged our daughter! As long as I donât get the death penalty, the first thing Iâll do when I get out is to kill that little bitch Natalia! Just you wait!â
Seeing the hysterical Addison, Kyler was filled with disappointment Just as he was about to intervene, the police officer couldnât take it anymore and took Addison away âMr. Kyler, please donât obstruct our work.â
Left with no other choice, Kyler watched as the police led Addison away Little did they know, Kendra walked into the room after they left, her face filled with resentment Magnus, Natalia, you will pay for what you owe me!â
In the hospital. Magnus, holding the injured Natalia, ran frantically towards the emergency room While running, he yelled, âDoctor? Whereâs the doctor? Please save her!â
Magnus voice echoed like a lions roar, drawing all the doctors in the emergency room out. âWhatâs going on? What happened?â
âMy wifeâs been stabbed in the shoulder, and sheâs bleeding. Please treat her immediately. She canât be harmed any further,â Magnus urged, laying Natalia on a hospital bed. After a quick examination, the doctors confirmed that Natalia had been stabbed in the shoulder, but the wound wasnt deep It could be bandaged and healed quickly As emergency room doctors, they saw countless critical patients every day However, they had never seen someone who had merely been injured in the shoulder screaming for help Even though the emergency room doctor was internally grumbling, he had to maintain a respectful demeanor since Magnus was his boss âMr. Andersen, Mrs. Andersen has only suffered minor external injuries After we stitch her up and apply some ointment, sheâll be fine in no timeâ
âMinor injuries? Sheâs lost so much blood, are you blind? Why hasnât she woken up? Magnus roared at the doctor The doctor, feeling a headache coming on, silently lowered his head After a moment, he said, âMr Andersen, Mrs Andersen is fine Sheâs just a bit faint from the sight of her blood âWell, what are you waiting for then? Treat her right away! If anything happens to her, youâll all be out of jobs! Magnus shouted His usual refined demeanor was nowhere to be seen The doctor was speechless, thinking to himself. âWell, what can you do when heâs the boss, you canât afford to offend him.â
None of the doctors dared to say anything. After all, in Melfort, Magnus was infamous for his ruthlessness. He could make even the mayor leave town, let alone a mere doctor The doctors carried on with their work cleaning the wound, stitching it up, and applying ointment.
