Chapter 245
Watching Natalia flee in a panic, Callum''s heart sank. He knew that their future seemed even more
elusive than before. He summoned Rita with all his strength, "Tell the castle''s doctor to treat me
immediately."
Rita happily obliged. Finally, Callum was showing some fighting spirit.
In his chamber, Callum mustered his courage. He had to get better as soon as possible to stand a
chance against Magnus. He refused to believe that he couldn''t win Natalia''s affection if he gave it his
all.
The doctor was quickly summoned, and after a thorough examination, he informed Callum that he was
lucky to have passed through the critical period. However, he needed to rest and recuperate. His
deteriorated health wasn''t something that could be fixed overnight.
Callum disregarded the doctor''s advice. "If you can''t restore my strength as soon as possible, you
might as well leave the mansion. I''m sure there are plenty of people waiting to be my physician."
The doctor nodded without hesitation. "Very well, your Grace. But if you wish to recover quickly, you''ll
need to undergo more rigorous training than usual."
"Then stop wasting time and get to it," Callum said decisively.
Compared to the possibility of losing Natalia, there was no hardship he couldn''t bear!
While Callum was undergoing recovery training in the mansion, Natalia had safely returned to her small
apartment. She gently pushed open the door, and a pillow flew towards her. "You heartless woman, you
finally decided toe back! Do you even care about your son?"
Natalia caught the pillow with quick reflexes and chuckled at the fuming Lexi. "Well, aren''t you here?"
Lexi stood up from the sofa, visibly upset. "Yes, me! You disappear for a whole day without a call. I
thought you were locked up in the castle."
"Sweetie, it was just a misunderstanding. Cal was really sick, and I was just taking care of him for the
night."
"Sure, you took care of him for the night and forgot about us. Natalia, you need to make a decision,"
Lexi said slyly.
Natalia was away for a day, leaving Lexi and Jonas in the apartment. Fortunately, Lexi knew how to

cook, and the apartment had plenty of ingredients.
Jonas was also well-behaved and didn''t make a fuss. If he were a troublesome child, Lexi thought she
would have gone crazy. So, when Natalia returned, she didn''t hesitate to throw a pillow at her.
Faced with Lexi''s teasing, Natalia grimaced. "I''m sorry, Lexi. I really was just taking care of Cal. I''m not
lying."
"Mummy, are you trying to find a new daddy for me? Don''t you want my old daddy anymore?" Jonas,
who had been ying on his tablet, suddenly asked.
His question nearly choked Natalia. What did he mean by finding a new daddy and not wanting his old
daddy?
After some thought, Natalia turned to Lexi. "Did you tell Jonas something you shouldn''t have? Tell me!"
Lexi stuck out her tongue. "No, I just said there might be a possibility."
"LEXI!" Natalia shouted. "You''re too much. What nonsense are you telling my child? There''s no such
thing."
"Alright, alright. If you say there''s no such thing, then there isn''t," Lexi quickly begged for mercy.
Seeing the two womenughing and fighting on the sofa, little Jonas squinted his eyes. He looked so
much like Magnus. If you nced at him, you might think it was a mini version of Magnus sitting there.
"Mummy, I support your decision to pursue a new life. But the condition is, he must be more handsome
and better than Daddy." Jonas expressed his opinion seriously. Lexi had told him about the emotional
entanglement between his mummy and daddy yesterday. As for the adults'' feelings, he was too young
to have a say. But he liked his mummy, and as long as she was happy, he would support her no matter
what decision she made.
Natalia blushed when she heard Jonas'' words. Her son had just given her life advice.
"Lexi, look at what you''ve done!" Nataliained softly, moving next to Jonas on the sofa. "Jonas,
things aren''t as you think. Your Uncle Callum and I are just good friends, not lovers."
"Really?" Jonas sighed in relief. "That''s great. I thought Daddy was really going to be reced. Even
though he''s always grumpy and has a lot of rules, I still like my real daddy more."
"Ha, I''m really grateful for your candid appraisal. You don’t despise me for being grumpy." Magnus''
voice suddenly came from the entrance of the apartment, causing the three of them to turn around.
Magnus was leaning against the door, dressed in a crisp suit. He had one hand in his pocket, his long
legs were stretched out, and his face tilted with a handsome smile.
He seemed to have just gotten off a ne. His imposing figure was bathed in the evening glow.
Natalia and Lexi were stunned. It was Magnus. How did he find them? But Jonas'' reaction was
different. He jumped off the sofa and ran towards Magnus. "Daddy, I love you the most!"
Magnus picked up Jonas, gave him a kiss, and then put him down. "Alright, I ept your love and
forgive you for criticizing me behind my back."
Jonas stuck out his tongue, relieved that he managed to get away with it.
Natalia sat on the sofa in a daze, not expecting Magnus to show up in Ennd so soon. Lexi''s reaction
was much better than Natalia''s. She waved casually at Magnus. "Hi, Mr. Andersen. We meet again."
Magnus nodded. "Yes, I would have been happier if we weren''t meeting here."
With that, he made his way straight to Natalia and sat down next to her. "You brought our son to
Ennd without telling me."
Magnus was supposed to be back in Melfort handling business. But as soon as he arrived, the
housekeeper from his vi called to say that the youngdy and the young master had gone missing.
This was rming!
