The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 298

"Alright, Dr. Frankie, let's get going. We're in for a long night," Dr. Frankie’s mentor said, briskly striding out of the pathology lab. He needed to start formulating a new antidote urgently.

Dr. Frankie quickly followed him. "Right behind you."

The two men exited Magnus’ room.

Left alone inside the room were Natalia and James. Noticing the downtrodden look on Natalia's face, James felt obligated to comfort her. "Natalia, don't worry. Magnus will pull through this. But we must find Belle. This woman is unimaginably wicked."

With a heavy sigh, Natalia voiced her concerns, "We're at a disadvantage, Belle has the upper hand. She must have planned this well in advance. If she's decided to hide, it won't be easy finding her."

By now, if she could be found, Marissa and her team would have done it already. The fact that they hadn't meant that Belle was hiding out of sight.

"Natalia, stay here and look after Magnus. I refuse to believe that Belle is invincible! Every person leaves traces. Even if she's hiding in a rat hole or a sewer, I will find her!" James declared, before hurrying out of the room. "I'll be back soon. I can't believe Chase and his team can't find one woman!"

Watching James' hurried departure, Natalia couldn't help but feel desolate. It was true, why was Belle so hard to find? Days had passed, and not a trace of her was found.

Sighing, Natalia walked over to Magnus, wanting to help wipe the sweat off his forehead.

She fetched water from the bathroom and used a towel to carefully clean Magnus. As she was meticulously wiping him down, she noticed a small patch of yellowing, decaying skin behind his ear.

Shocked, Natalia rubbed her eyes and looked again. Sure enough, a yellowish fluid was seeping from the decaying patch behind Magnus' ear. Remembering Dr. Frankie's previous warning about the poison causing decaying skin, Natalia quickly checked Magnus' arms, chest, and legs for similar symptoms. Thankfully, she found none.
