The Imposter Bride

Chapter 88

Staring at Natalia’s feary eyes, so swollen from crying, Magnus felt a pang of regret.

“Oh no, it was just a joke, Magnus. Natalia denied, flustered under his gaze and not daring to meet his eyes.

Meanwhile, Carter, Chase, and Dr. Frankie seemed to be engaged in an endless conversation.

Dr. Frankie, standing between Carter and Chase, walked over to Magnus bedside. He lifted the blanket to inspect Magnus‘ injury, performed some basic checks, and then declared, “Well, your injuries are indeed severe. But now that you’re awake, there’s nothing to worry about. From now on, you just need to keep the wound clean and dry. I’ll get you the best ointment for burns in about two weeks, your injury should have healed”

When Magnus was injured, not only Mrs. Andersen was in a panic, but even seasoned men like Carter, Chase, and James were also worried. When they called Dr. Frankie, he was in a medical conference, so he rushed over to take charge of Magnus treatment.

Fortunately, Magnus willpower was strong, so he managed to pull through. But perhaps it was because his sweetheart, Natalia, was always by his side, that he could wake up earlier. His burn was severe enough to be classified as third–degree.

“Alright, get on it, Magnus replied, a frown tugging at his brows. If Frankie left a scar on his back, he’d have a bone to pick with him..

Dr. Frankie chuckled at Magnus concern. “Don’t worry. There will be no scars.”

Afterwards, Magnus gaze was fixed on Natalia, who was sitting by his bedside.

“Alright, let’s leave for now We’ll have the staff bring in meals and medication later.”

They had been there for a while, and Magnus, having just woken up, hardly acknowledged their presence. Chase, knowing that Magnus wasn’t paying them any attention, suggested they leave.

Soon, the room was left with only Magnus lying in bed, and Natalia blushing by his side.

May brought in food and Natalia helped Magnus eat. She was indeed taking good care of him.

Thanks to Dr Frankie’s diligent care, Magnus recovery was quick. A week later, although his wound hadn’t fully healed, Magnus was able to do some basic activities. Being a workaholic, he spent his time reviewing documents Paul brought from the office.

And Natalia, who had been longing to massage Magnus legs, seized the opportunity. So she gave him a massage once or twice a day, making him break out in sweat. Though Magnus was in pain, he didn’t utter a sound, pretending to feel nothing.

One day, after Natalia finished massaging him, as she wiped his sweat, she said, “Magnus, about that villa.”

Before she could finish, Magnus interrupted her with a smile. “I’ve already asked Linden to renovate the villa and upgrade the security system. If you like it, we can stay there for our honeymoon. There won’t be ahy more incidents like before. But if you don’t like it, I can buy you a new one.”

Magnus figured that Natalia might have some trauma from the accident that happened there.

“I wasn’t talking about that,” Natalia laughed helplessly at Magnus interruption.

She gently wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then she finally asked, “Why did you give me the villa? Was it really because you wanted to give me a home?” The villa was worth millions or even billions. Their relationship was awkward, and she felt uneasy accepting such a gift.

The city they lived in was the major economic hub, so the cost of living was very high. The villa that Magnus gave her seemed far from the city, but it sat on a large piece of land with a beautiful scenery. Not to mention the villa itself was grand The price must have been astronomical. Therefore, Natalia, who believed in not accepting gifts for no reason, didn’t understand his purpose

Magnus laughed when he heard her question, “It’s just a villa. For me, it’s no big deal. And yes, I wanted to give you a home

“But my dear, I hope it will be our home in the future” His gazes were deep as he looked at Natalia, as if he could draw her into them.

When he noticed that Natalia appeared stunned, he quickly changed the subject, I wasn’t sure what surprise to give you, so I asked someone to check You and Lexi had once hung a wish bottle on the Wishing Tree. Didn’t you wish to have a house of your own? So I just wanted to give you a house

As he said this, Magnus reached out and gently caressed Natalia’s cheek. Then he said in a soft, deep voice, “So I gave you a home, a villa for both of us And a husband you can rely on for life.”

No matter what, he would love Natalia for the rest of his life. He would use all his capabilities, even his life, to protect her.

“You really looked into my past? Natalia was surprised to learn that Magnus had found out about the wish bottle she and Lexi had hung on the Wishing Tree Knowing his intentions, Natalia’s eyes filled with tears. Even when she was with Hector in the past, Hector’s promise to her had only ever been to stay by her side, to take care of her, even to take her to the United States

At the time, she hadn’t been particularly moved So when Magnus spoke like this, Natalia was genuinely touched. Her eyes welling up, she felt the sting of tears threatening to fall again

“Darling, why are you crying again?” Seeing Natalia like this. Magnus reached out, pulling her into his embrace

He didn’t even worry about his own wound, holding her close and pressing tender kisses onto her cheeks and lips. T’ll give you everything you want, my dear,” he whispered. “Don’t ever leave me, I’m serious about you” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

With that, Magnus took her hand and placed it over his heart. Through his chest, he let the rhythm of his heartbeat speak to Natalia’s palm.
