Chapter 171


    “Ma’am, do you want to eat something?” Linden brought over a bowl of chicken soup. His eyes filled


    with concern as he watched Natalia, who had lost a considerable amount of weight.


    Natalia merely shook her head in silence. She wasn’t hungry, and she had no appetite whatsoever


    “Madam, even if you have no appetite, you have to think of the little gentleman growing inside you He’s


    developing and needs plenty of nutrients. Look at you now. You’re so thin. When Mr. Magnus sees you,


    he’ll surely be heartbroken Linden tried to reason with Natalia, hoping she would feel better


    Natalia lifted her eyelids at the mention of Magnus Really? Would he truly care? Heh, I bet he has


    already forgotten about me.”


    Linden shook his head helplessly, he was amazed at Natalia’s stubbornness “Ma’am, he is a very


    devoted man in all these years, I’ve never seen him care for anyone as much as he does for you You’re


    the only one who can sway his emotions


    “Please stop being angry with the young master Shall I call him toe back?


    “No need Natalia gave a bitter smile, not taking Linden’s words to heart. If he wanted toe back, he


    would’ve done so already. There was no need for any phone calls


    “Madam, Mr. Magnus cousin is here. May’s voice came from downstairs. She was hesitant as whether


    to let Hector in Magnus had instructed before he left to take good care of the madam and not to let her


    see anyone. So, would there be any problem letting Hector visit the madam?


    Magnus cousin? Natalia pondered for a moment Was Hector here? She slowly stood up from the


    balcony and walked downstairs “Let him in”


    By the time Natalia descended the stairs, Hector had already stepped inside.


    Their eyes met, and both of them froze


    Hector stared at Natalia, who was so thin she barely looked human. Her belly was protruding. She


    looked so frail, a gust of wind could probably blow her


    away


    His heart felt as if it was being torn apart. The pain was unbearable. “Natalia, how did you get so thin?


    That bastard Magnus, has he been mistreating


    you?”


    “No Natalia forced a smile, gesturing for Hector to sit down I’m fine. What brings you here?”


    “Fine?” Hector’s voice rose sharply. “Natalia, why are you covering up for that bastard?! He has you


    trapped on Sapphire Ind and you say there’s nothing wrong‘ Look at the state you’re in! Where is


    he? Where is he? I’m going to give him a piece of my mind!”


    He turned to leave but was stopped by Natalia grabbing his wrist. ‘Hector, I’m really okay.” She looked


    at Hector’s handsome face, full of anger and sadness because of her. Unable to hold back her tears,


    she began to cry


    Hector opened his arms and pulled her frail body into his embrace, gently wiping her tears away.


    “Natalia, don’t cry. I’m here and crying isn’t good for the baby” He softly wiped away her tears


    Natalia cried even harder She was like a broken dam, unable to hold back her tears. She soaked a


    large patch of Hector’s shirt with her tears


    Hector held her silently His heart was in pain as he watched Natalia, who he had once vowed to take


    care of for the rest of his life, weep uncontrobly He had promised to make her happy but look at her


    now…


    After letting Natalia cry it all out, Hector gently moved her shoulders. “Natalia,e with me I will take


    care of you and the baby. Magnus doesnt love you What kind of man leaves his pregnant wife alone on


    an ind?! Trust me, Natalia.” As he wiped away her endless stream of tears, he gently patted


    her shoulder


    Hearing Hector’s words, Natalia finally came back to her senses. She quickly straightened up. I’m


    sorry, Hector, but I can’t leave. I promised Morgan that I would have this baby No matter what, I will


    have this baby”


    “Natalia, why are you doing this to yourself?! Magnus is a bastard, and i’m going to find him Hector was


    furious.


    Natalia wiped her tears andughed Hector, I’m doing fine here. It’s very quiet Magnus didn’t trap me


    here I came willingly


    “Natalia, how long are you going to defend that bastard? Do you know how fragile a woman is when


    she’s pregnant? He, as your husband, should be by your side instead he left you alone on this ind is


    this his way of treating you well?”


    Hector grabbed Natalia’s shoulders His heart was aching for her


    “Let her gor Suddenly a cold voice echoed from the entrance of the living room. Magnus, dressed in a


    ck shirt and holding car katys, appeared king descending from the heavens. His piercing gaze fixed


    on Natalia and Hector huddled together in the middle of the room


    Ever since he heard Hectors words, he had been on edge. He couldn’t hold back any longer He wanted


    to return to Sapphire ind. He hadn’t slepi wel in days as he missed Natalia terribly


    He left work early today and headed straight for Sapphire Ind He wanted to apologize to his wife, he


    was willing to sleep in the shady ? she resented him But he didn’t want to sleep in the office anymore


    The moment he opened the dour he saw the two of them huddled together in the living room Natalia


    was sobbing in the arms of her first turned cold, and his eyes were filled with mock She was unhappy


    and crying so pitifully after seeing Hector


    His blood


    Hector and Natalia slowly turned their heads to see Magnus walking towards them Hector let go of


    Natalia and stood in front of do you want? it’s good that you’re back,


    shielding h


    What


    Magnus didn’t wait for Hector to frush. He clenched his fists and punched Hector in the face with a loud


    bang, Hector fell onto the couch Despite the pain in his jaw, he quickly got up Blood was trickling from


    the corner of his mouth He turned around and swung a punch at Magnus as well. The two men started


    fighting in the living room


    Feeling distraught, Nataha stood by their side, yelling. “Stop fighting, both of your Hector, leave now


    Magnus, stop!”


    Magnus could hear Natalia calling out to Hector with such an intimate tone. She was pleading with him


    to stop. The force in his t intended


    immediately, and the living room echoed with the sound of his punchesnding and Hector’s stifled


    grunts. Both of them ignored Natalia’s cries, continuing the brawl.

    Witnessing Hector’s battered and bloody face, Natalia rushed over, but as she moved forward, a


    sudden intense pain in her abdomen caused her to falter and copse onto the floor. Her vision blurred,


    and slowly, she fell to the ground, which both men saw.


    “Natalia!”


    “Natalia”


    The two men immediately rushed over


    Hector, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, moved to help Natalia, but was kicked away by


    Magnus. “Get lost!”


    Magnus held Natalia, looking at her pale face. His heart was about to leap out of his chest. “Natalia,


    what’s wrong?”


    “My stomach… it hurts so much Natalia could feel the little one inside her stirring restlessly. She had


    been feeling upset and had barely eaten anything. With this sudden stress, there was a high risk of


    prematurebor


    “Linden, Linden, go get the doctor fast Magnus held Natalia tightly. She had lost more weight in the


    past week, and her belly was the only thing growing. while the rest of her body was thin as a rail!
