The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 176

The doctor stood next to Magnus, finishing his sentence.

"Bang!" Magnus swung a punch at the doctor, sending him flying into the wall and bouncing back onto a tray of surgical tools. The noise echoed through the operation room and shards of glass scattered everywhere. Everyone stared at Magnus in shock, then at the doctor convulsively twitching on the floor.

Morgan stormed in with anger blazing in his eyes. "Magnus, what on earth are you doing?" Four bodyguards immediately appeared behind him and dragged Magnus away.

This chaos seemed irrelevant to Natalis laying on the operating table. Silent and still, she seemed to be drifting further and further away.

Natalia had a dream, a dream of a smiling little boy reaching out with his chubby hand and calling her “Mommy.” Her heart melted like butter. She reached out to hold the floating little boy, but he kept calling her “Mommy” and floated further away.

No matter how desperately Natalia screamed, she couldn't grab his tiny hand. He drifted away from her.

Suddenly Natalia woke up. Her child, her precious baby!

She woke up in a hospital, with a nurse sitting by her side. As soon as she opened her eyes, the nurse stood up. "Madam, you're awake?"

So, she didn't die. She was still alive. She reached out to touch her belly, which was now flat and felt a slight pain. "Where is my baby..." Her voice was hoarse and barely audible.

The nurse quickly adjusted her bed. "You need some water, madam."

After taking a sip of water, Natalia asked again, "Where's my baby? Please bring him to me."

"Your baby... Madam, you should rest first. I'll be right back." The nurse evaded her question and Natalia's brows furrowed in worry.

Ignoring her hunger, she grabbed the nurse's forearm. "Where is my baby?" She needed to see her child.

"Madam... your baby... he didn't make it. He died of oxygen deprivation at birth." The nurse broke down in tears after finishing her sentence.

Natalia's mind went blank. She stared at the nurse, pulled out the IV, and staggered out of bed, making her way towards the door.

"Madam, you can't leave! Oh no, you're not wearing shoes. You're bleeding!" The nurse hurriedly grabbed a pair of slippers and followed her.

Wearing a patient's gown, Natalia ran frantically.

At the end of the hallway, she found the "Neonatal Unit." She pushed the door open just as someone was leaving. She grabbed the person's arm. "Doctor, where's my baby? Where is he? Please bring him to me!"

The doctor sighed and looked at Natalia with guilt. "Ms. Natalia, I'm sorry. We couldn't save your baby. He was already gone when you arrived. It was due to oxygen deprivation. Please be strong. You and Mr. Andersen are still young. You'll have more children."

After the doctor left, Natalia stood outside the Neonatal Unit, drained of all energy. She didn't know when the nurse had put the slippers on her feet.

She stood at the end of the hallway, staring at the blue sky.

“Baby, I'm sorry!” She thought.

"Oh dear, madam, what are you doing here? I just made some hot soup. I knew you would wake up. Mr. Andersen will be here soon. Let's go back to your room, madam."

It was Linden's voice that brought Natalia back to reality. She glanced at him and slowly walked forward.

Linden had a thermos in his hand. He quickly jogged to the room to put down the thermos and came back to assist Natalia. However, Natalia was already gone. Despite searching everywhere, Linden couldn't find her. He immediately called Magnus who was already at the hospital.
