The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 297

James gave a nod, "Alright, as you wish. Don't worry, I'll make sure Natalia is safe. After all, none of us have escaped your fist!"

"Chain me up, so I won't hurt anyone," Magnus said in a voice heavy with fatigue, before closing his eyes and sinking into sleep.

Watching Magnus drift off to sleep, Natalia's eyes lit up. Excited, she turned to Dr. Frankie's mentor. "He's asleep, does that mean the medication is working?"

James joined in, "Indeed, look at him, he's sleeping so peacefully. It's a testament to how effective the medication is!"

Dr. Frankie's spirit lifted, as he began to circle Magnus. "Theoretically, the medication in the vial does seem to have taken effect, but..."

"But what?" Natalia asked, her anxiety rising as she kept her eyes fixed on Magnus, looking for any signs of discomfort.

Dr. Frankie shook his head. "I'm not sure. It's hard to tell. This poison is rare, so it's unlikely to be cured quickly. We need to observe him for a while longer."

"Alright, I'll stay and watch over him," Natalia softly promised. She wouldn't leave until Magnus was better.

Seeing Natalia's determination, James advised, "Natalia, you've been by Msgnus’ side for so long without rest. Why don't you take a break and regain your strength? We're all here."

Natalia shook her head. "Compared to Magnus, who's suffering from the poison, what's a little tiredness to me? As long as he gets better, I would gladly suffer in his place."

Facing Natalia's resolve, James didn't attempt to dissuade her further. He leaned against the wall, waiting patiently for Magnus' potential reactions.

Dr. Frankie and his mentor also waited patiently. After all, the antidote they had concocted based on the blood sample was not guaranteed to be 100% effective. It could even cause unforeseen consequences.

The room was eerily silent, as the four of them anxiously watched over Magnus and silently prayed for his recovery.

Suddenly, a horrifying scream broke the silence.

Magnus' eyes snapped open, his mouth wide as he let out a terrifying yell. His head shook violently, his limbs twitching uncontrollably.

"My God, Magnus, what's wrong?" Natalia rushed to his side, gripping his hand tightly. "Magnus, are you in pain? If you're in pain, squeeze my hand. You'll be okay!"

James also rushed over. "Magnus? Magnus? What's wrong?"
