Chapter 290
“No, it can’t be Paul, are you sure? How could Magnus ever do such a thing?” He couldn’t be using drugs!
Paul wanted to say more, but the hospital director walked over with a grim face handing a test report to Natalia “Mrs Andersen, this is Mr. Andersen’s blood test report His blood contains a large amount of drugs
The director’s words struck Natata like lightning her hands trembling as she took the report She refused to believe it. Oh God Magnus could not possibly be using drugs. This must have been a misdiagnosis)
י
“Madam, what should we do now Should we inform Mr Morgan?” Paul asked Natalia
“No!” Natalia immediately stopped Paul She walked slowly into the room looking at Magnus hands tied to the bed, and felt a sharp pain in her heart
Dont tell him Morgan, like everyone else would never accept that the CFD of Andersen Corporation was a drug addict
“I’ll call James now, tell Dr. Frankie to come to Melfort as soon as possible. We need to keep this under wraps We can’t let any news leak out “Natalia, despite being in shock, quickly made a decision No matter what, she could not let the news of Magnus drug use leak out!
After saying this Natalia dialed James number asking him to come over as soon as possible
Three hours later, James and Dr Frankie arrived by helicopter in Melfort They quickly rushed over, along with Carter
After a brief discussion Dr. Frankie decided to first determine the type of drug in Magnus system and then see if an antidote could be formulated Dr Frankie and his medical team immediately started their work
Meanwhile James stayed with Natalia, standing by the bed and watching over Magnus “Natalia, don’t worry too much. I believe Magnus will pull through” James comforted Natalia, feeling helpless himself
Natalia sighed softly “I know He’s so outstanding he can’t be using drugs. Someone must be scheming against him behind his back.”
James thought for a moment, “Could it be Lucius?”
“No.” Natalia shook her head confidently “Lucius wouldn’t dare to do this. He wouldn’t torture him in this way The person who poisoned him must hate Magnus to the bone”
“Alright I send someone to investigate who’s behind this, James said, instructing his men to probe into the cause of Magnus poisoning
Natalia nodded “Yeah it’s best to start with the company. These days, Magnus spends most of his time either at home with me and the kids or at the office”
As she said this, a face flashed through Natalia’s mind Belle. For some reason, she had never had a good impression of Belle Even though she was sure she had met Belle only once she felt a distinct dislike from the look in Belle’s eves.
That dislike was cold and suffocating as if she was seeing an arch–enemy.
“James, I want your men to pay special attention to a girl named Belle” Natalia reminded James, unable to put her worries to rest.
“Belle” James was taken aback, “Who is she?
“Belle used to be Magnus assistant and had a history of drugging him I suspect that she’s behind this as well,” Natalia’s suspicion towards Belle grew stronger
But why would Belle want to poison Magnus?
Magnus had mentioned once that Belle had a crush on him and drugged him out of her infatuation Could it be that love had turned to hate?
Natalia couldn’t figure it out and decided to stop pondering over it. She believed that as long as James‘ men conducted a thorough investigation, they would uncover the truth She trusted their capabilities
inside the special care unit, Magnus slowly opened his eyes. Natalia, who had been watching intensely from the glass window, was overjoyed and rushed into the room, but tears started streaming down her face when she reached Magnus‘ bed
Magnus was shouting at her. “Who are you? Get me some tea! I need teal Give it to me! Now!”
Natalia was scared by his crazed voice, she stepped back, tears flowing “It’s me, Natalia. Look carefully, I’m your wife”
“Wife” Magnus bloodshot eyes paused for a moment, a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes But soon, he fell back into madness “Get out! I need tea, only teal Give me tea?” James grabbed Natalia’s arm “Magnus, do you recognize me?”
Magnus threw a punch at James “Get out” His eyes were burning red He jumped off the bed and grabbed James by the throat
James tried to pry his hand free, but it was as firm as iron Watching James eyes roll back, Natalia rushed over, crying out loud, “Magnus, let go! Let go! He’s Jai
At that moment. Carter walked in and saw everything. He quickly moved over and struck a blow at the back of Magnus neck Magnus slowly loosened his grip and fell bac Carter caught him and laid him back on the bed
Natalias voice was hoarse from crying She held onto Magnus hand lightly, crying her heart out
“He’s not in his right mind right now He doesn’t know who you are.” Carter said pulling the almost suffocated James out of the mom
“Can we just watch him like this? Natalia was also pulled out of the room She leaned against the glass window and ched uncontrollably. “Why has he suddenly become like this?”
“Natalia, don’t take it too hard, Dr Frankie will for him” James gasped, trying to comfort Natalia. His heart was
As they talked. Dr Frankie approached them, clad in his white coal
Kunding from his near
penence with Magnus.
“Dr Frankie, have you developed an antidote yet?” Natalia asked, hope flashing in her eyes it had been two days, and she was desperate for a positive answer
Dr Frankie looked at Natalia, his expression grave “We’ve only identified the poison. The antidote we haven’t managed to create it yet
Natalias hope quickly turned into disappointment What poison did Magnus get hit with she blurted out without thinking
“What kind of poison can turn a man into this? James chimed in curiosity mingling with his concern
Handing over the lab report to James, Dr Frankie explained. Our overnight research indicates that it is a new kind of poison, called Sky Scorcher It’s hard to come by on the black market, and once it takes effect, it becomes more potent with each passing moment First, it blues ones consciousness Gradually, the entire body begins to decay until death ensues
