The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 178

Having said that, Chase and Carter promptly exited the room. James turned back to look at Magnus, who was lying in bed with a cast on his leg, and comforted him, "Don't worry too much about Natalia. What will be will be. You lie here and rest, and remember, you have to listen to Dr. Frankie and cooperate with the treatment. You can't afford to get hurt again."

After saying this, James nodded at Dr. Frankie and followed suit, leaving the hospital room.

The room quickly became quiet after they left, and Magnus soon fell into a sleep-like state.

True to their word, Chase and Carter spared no resources and cost in their search for Natalia, who had fallen overboard at sea. They combed the area for three days and even sent divers a thousand meters out to search the ocean floor. But there was still no sign of Natalia. After half a month of no news, it seemed impossible that they would find her.

Upon waking, Magnus lay despondently in bed, his expression somewhat vacant. He was sure his wife couldn't be in danger! He believed she was still alive.

As long as she came back safe, he promised he would never make her angry again. He would agree to anything she wanted! Even if she insisted on divorcing him and leaving his side, he would try to make it work.

He silently prayed that his wife would return safely, even if it cost him a leg!

Dr. Frankie cast a glance at Magnus, who was lying quietly on the bed. He was no longer acting out or shouting, and was just lying there lifelessly, as if he had no interest in anything. He was lost in his world of longing for Natalia, full of regret.

Dr. Frankie watched him and couldn't help but shake his head. As a doctor, beyond treating his physical wounds, there was little he could do to console his friend's emotional turmoil. He knew his friend's heart all too well. The first time, he watched as Magnus stood up from his wheelchair, enduring pain unimaginable to most. This time, he watched as Magnus was once again bound to a wheelchair, and his heart ached for him.

After checking the medical equipment monitoring Magnus' condition, Dr. Frankie cast another concerned look at his patient before quietly exiting the room. He was just a doctor, after all. Aside from treating physical ailments, there was little he could do to help his friend's emotional turmoil.

Judging by Magnus' expression, it seemed like he wouldn't last long if they couldn't find his wife.

Magnus stared silently at the ceiling for a long time. His mind was filled with memories of Natalia.

Her little tempers, her occasional moods, the way she pouted, and her subtle frown. Everything was so beautiful. It was as if she was still by his side, never having left.

“Nat, God bless you. Please, come back soon!” Silently, Magnus prayed in his heart for Natalia's safety. But he knew deep down that this was extravagant of him. His wife might never come back.

Time passed in Magnus’ silent prayer, and soon several more days had passed.

Magnus sat on the bed, watching the sky darken, and his mood falling along with it. He knew that as time went on, he would never find his wife again.

Chase and Carter, who Magnus had sent out to find Natalia, still had no news.

As the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the city lights began to shine, Chase and Carter once again came to the hospital room. As soon as they pushed open the door to the room, Magnus lifted his head anxiously. "How is it? Have you found my wife?"

Chase shook his head, telling him the harsh truth, "We hired thirty search and rescue teams, and we've been searching for three days, but we haven't found Natalia."

Following Chase, Carter came over with a plastic bag in hand. "Magnus, we searched the sea for several days and only found this."
