The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 313

Dr. Frankie couldn't believe that Magnus was blaming himself for Morgan's death. He quickly attempted to clarify his thoughts, "No, Mr. Magnus, you misunderstood. Morgan's passing was not because of you. Really."

"But how can that be? He saw me in this state. It's no wonder he is gone!" Magnus said, looking up at Dr. Frankie in disbelief.

Dr. Frankie took a deep breath and explained, "Here's what happened. Morgan had a heart attack, but we managed to resuscitate him. But then Lucius distorted the truth about your addiction and spread rumors that you had become a junkie. He seized control of the company during this turmoil. His actions led to a drop in the company's stock, causing shareholders to confront Morgan. The stress of it all caused Morgan's heart condition to flare up again. This time, we couldn't save him."

Magnus closed his eyes. His thin, strong hand clenched into a fist. His heart felt like it had been ripped out. “I'm sorry, Grandfather! It's all my fault! I'm the reason you're gone!”

Magnus opened his eyes, a bloody red hue staining his pupils. “Lucius, well done. I've taken note of all your malicious actions. Just wait for the day of reckoning!”

In this world, Magnus’ grandfather was the one who loved him most. He had raised Magnus with great difficulty, only to pass away in such a tragic manner.

Magnus remembered all of this, and said coldly, "Push me in."

May hurried over and began to push Magnus towards the house. "Jonas is playing the piano right now. He should be finishing soon."

As they approached the house, they could hear the melancholic notes of a piano piece, filled with longing. Magnus' face darkened, and he steered his wheelchair towards Jonas.

Jonas, dressed in a casual suit, sat upright at the grand piano. His small hands were playing the sorrowful but smooth melody.

"Jonas?" Magnus called out softly after the last note had been played.

Jonas turned his head, saw Magnus, and jumped off the leather stool, running towards his father. "Daddy? Are you all better now? That's great!"

As Jonas rushed towards him like a cheerful bird, a smile in his blue eyes. Magnus' heavy heart lightened slightly. He reached out and tousled Jonas' fluffy hair, asking softly, "Have you been a good boy while I was away?"

"Yeah, I have been very good and obedient. I miss you every day. Mommy said you were sick and I shouldn't visit you too much. But I did sneak in one time and talked to you a lot," Jonas said, his small face turning unhappy.

Magnus knew that Jonas had indeed visited him once when he was unconscious. He had heard all the words Jonas had said. Jonas told Magnus to get well soon, saying that if Magnus died, someone else would spend his money, live in his house, bully Natalia, and hit Jonas.

Magnus had heard all of it! He had thought at the time, what a heartless little rascal.

"Daddy, Mommy said she's going to a place very far away, and it will take many years before she can come back. Daddy, do you know where that is?"

Jonas suddenly asked a question, interrupting Magnus' thoughts.cThe adults exchanged glances, finally realizing that Natalia had quietly left.
