Chapter 290


    How could he possibly be on drugs?


    “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 arge amount of


    drugs.”


    The director’s words struck Natalia 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!


    “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.


    "Don''t tell him." Morgan, like everyone else, would never ept that the CEO of Andersen Corporation


    was a drug addict!


    “I’ll call James now, tell Dr. Frankie toe 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 toe over as soon as possible.


    Three hourster, 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 formted. 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,” Jamesforted 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''ll 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 thepany. 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 shed 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 eyes.


    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 ss 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 tea! 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 rity shed in his eyes. But soon, he


    fell back into madness. “Get out! I need tea, only tea! 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 James!”


    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 back. Carter caught him andid him


    back on the bed.


    Natalia''s voice was hoarse from crying. She held onto Magnus'' hand tightly, 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 room.


    “Can we just watch him like this?” Natalia was also pulled out of the room. She leaned against the


    ss window and cried uncontrobly. “Why has he suddenly be like this?”


    "Natalia, don’t take it too hard, Dr. Frankie will fix him.” James gasped, trying tofort Natalia. His


    heart was still pounding from his near-death experience with Magnus.


    As they talked, Dr. Frankie approached them, d in his white coat.


    “Dr. Frankie, have you developed an antidote yet?” Natalia asked, hope shing 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."


    Natalia''s 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 theb report to James, Dr. Frankie exined, "Our overnight research indicates that it''s


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    a new kind of poison, called ''Sky Scorcher.'' It''s hard toe by on the ck market, and once it takes


    effect, it bes more potent with each passing moment. First, it blurs one''s consciousness.


    Gradually, the entire body begins to decay, until death ensues."
