The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 185

When Chase and his bodyguard hauled Magnus out of the water, his eyes were tightly shut, and his lungs were filled with water.

At the hospital.

Morgan rushed to the scene, looking at the lights flashing in the emergency room. He turned to Chase. "What's the status?"

"He's in critical condition, and his leg wound has begun to worsen," Chase truthfully replied.

Anger flashed across Morgan's aging face. "Is this all he's capable of? He's sought death multiple times for that girl! I don't need to have such a disgraceful grandson in the Andersen family! Let him perish!"

Morgan trembled with rage, gripping his cane tightly.

"Sir, someone tried to assassinate him. He didn't jump willingly," Chase quickly explained.

"Do you think I'm senile? Could that flower vendor have the capability to kill him? If he wasn't desperate enough to jump, who could have killed him!" Morgan shouted in the hospital corridor.

Chase quickly steadied Morgan. "Sir, don't worry. Magnus will be fine. He'll come around."

"Chase , tell me, has he become like this all for a woman? I let Lucius temporarily take over as president to motivate him to stand again. But he..." Morgan shook his head, gripping his cane tightly.

"Magnus loves Natalia deeply, and it's only human nature. Sir, you should go home and rest, I'll stay here to watch over him," Chase said, guiding Morgan to the door.

Just then, the door to the emergency room opened, and the doctor pushed out Magnus.

"Mr. Andersen," the doctor greeted with a smile.

"How is he?" Morgan asked, looking at the pallid and bloodless face of Magnus lying on the bed. Morgan furrowed his brows.

"Mr. Andersen's leg has been soaked in seawater; it could take quite some time to heal. But the real concern is that he ingested a lot of seawater, he may suffer from selective amnesia," the doctor explained.

"Selective amnesia?" Morgan turned to the doctor. "If he could forget, that'd be great."

"...What will he forget?" Chase thought. He wouldn't forget him too, right? That would be disastrous!

"Typically, patients with selective amnesia lose memory of the most traumatic events, because, subconsciously they don't want to remember. But over time, he might recall it. Or it might come back to him suddenly."

Morgan nodded silently at the doctor's words. “As long as he's alive, let him forget.”

Three days passed before Magnus finally woke up in the hospital, feeling as though he had slept for an eternity. He stared blankly at the sterile white surroundings of the hospital room, wondering why he was there.

As Linden entered the room, he saw Magnus awake and rushed over in relief.

"You're finally awake. You scared us. You've been asleep for three days," Linden said, setting down the thermos he brought and gently helping Magnus up.

"Why am I in the hospital?" Magnus asked in a low voice.

"Your leg injury worsened, so we had to bring you here," Linden replied.

Frowning, Magnus asked, "Where's Dr. Frankie?"

"He's gone back to France."

"Call him back here immediately. He's the only one who can treat my leg," Magnus said coldly, staring out the window. He felt like something was off, as though he had forgotten something important.

"Okay, I'll call him right away," Linden said, leaving the room.
