Chapter 291
His words left everyone in the room shocked and speechless. Death from a body riddled with sores!
Upon hearing this, Natalia''s vision blurred, and she nearly copsed.
James threw the medical report onto the floor, grabbing Dr. Frankie by the shoulders and shaking him
violently. "Since you know what it is, make an antidote quickly! No matter what, you must produce an
antidote!"
Dr. Frankie hesitated for a moment. "This poison is very potent. I''m not entirely confident. I can only try
my best to concoct a cure. But, I can''t guarantee it will work."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get to it!" James impatiently urged Dr. Frankie. "You didn''t earn your
title as a miracle doctor for nothing. Can this really stump you?”
"James, many things are not as simple as they seem." Dr. Frankie sighed and headed towards the
pathologyb.
Watching Dr. Frankie''s retreating figure, Natalia''s heart clenched with worry. She looked at James
anxiously. "Is this poison really that hard to cure? Even Dr. Frankie is helpless."
James, too, was uncertain. He believed in Dr. Frankie''s ability to concoct an antidote, and he had to!
Looking at Natalia''s tear-filled eyes, James consoled her, "Don''t worry, Natalia! Dr. Frankie is
remarkable, he''ll surelye up with a solution soon."
All Natalia could do now was wait. She anxiously looked through the ss window at Magnus, who
was unconscious on the bed. Carter had already re-tied him.
"Isn''t it ufortable for him to be tied up like this? Can we loosen him a bit? At least it will make him
less ufortable." She had never seen Magnus like this before. Her heart ached.
James shook his head, pointing to Paul, who had been standing quietly nearby. “Did you see the
bandage on Paul’s head, Natalia? Did you see how he nearly strangled me earlier? He’s not in his right
mind right now, and he doesn''t care who you are. If you get too close, he''ll try to kill you."
Natalia looked at Paul and apologized, "Paul, are you okay? You should go get checked by a doctor."
Paul shook his head. "I''m fine, ma''am. I owe my life to Mr. Magnus. As long as he is safe, I wouldn''t
hesitate to die for him."
Upon hearing Paul''s loyal words, Natalia was touched. Magnus was truly blessed to have such a
devoted subordinate.
"Paul, you''re injured. Go and rest. I''ll be here and call you if anything happens," Natalia softly
persuaded Paul to take a break.
However, Paul insisted he was fine and refused to leave. Natalia had no choice but to let him stay. She
sighed deeply, gently taking Magnus'' hand. The sight of his bruised and battered body made her heart
feel like it was shattering.
Back in the day, Magnus was untamed and proud. When had he ever looked this pitiful?
But now, he looked like a drug addict, and it was heart-wrenching to see.
‘Magnus, what happened to you? How did you get poisoned? You have to hang in there!’
"Natalia, you''ve been here for two days and two nights. Go rest, Paul and I will take care of things
here," James quietly urged her to rest. "Don''t copse before Mr. Magnus recovers."
Natalia was grateful for James'' kindness. She forced a smile. "Thank you, I''m fine, really. Instead of
worrying at home, it''s better for me to watch over him. This way, I can find some peace."Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
"Alright then, I''ll go check on Dr. Frankie. This is going to be a long process, so we need to be
prepared," James said as he headed toward theb.
Theb wasn''t far from Magnus'' room. This was a private hospital for Magnus, so although small, it
was equipped with thetest and most advanced medical facilities.
James was familiar with the ce and quickly reached theb. He could see Dr. Frankie and his team
working on the antidote through the ss door. He entered theb, trying to tread lightly. He walked up
to Dr. Frankie and asked quietly, "Any progress?"
Dr. Frankie, who was engrossed in his work, jumped at the sound of James'' voice, nearly dropping the
test tube he was holding. "Can''t you make some noise when you walk?" Dr. Frankie red at James.
"Next time, don''t sneak up on me like that. It could give someone a heart attack."
James refrained from arguing with Dr. Frankie. They were in a crisis, and their main focus was on
creating an antidote for Magnus. "Fine, I''ll be more careful next time." James straightened his face.
"Have you made any progress with the antidote? Why is it taking so long?"
Dr. Frankie sighed deeply, "This isn''t as simple as treating a cold or fever, it''s a lethal poison! It could
take weeks. I''ve thought of a potential antidote, but I''m not sure if it will work."
"What are you waiting for then? Go give it to Magnus. He''s barely recognizable anymore!" James was
impatient, quickly jumping to conclusions.
Dr. Frankie halted, shrugging off James'' unrelenting pressure. "Can you chill a bit? I''ve got a potential
antidote in mind, but I can''t guarantee it''ll neutralize the poison."
"We''ve got to try something, don''t we? Look at Natalia. She''s practically cried herself dry. How are we
supposed to go on like this?" James said, ncing at the myriad of bottles and vials in theb.
"Even though this situation is being kept under wraps, won''t the Andersen Corporation''s shareholders
start suspecting something when they don''t see Magnus around? And it''ll kill Grandpa if he finds out!"
Dr. Frankie sighed, "Guess we''re grasping at straws here."
The two men headed to the special care ward where Magnus was held. They found Natalia sitting by
the bed, watching Magnus, who was bound and immobile.
As James stepped in, heforted her. "Hang in there, Natalia. Magnus will pull through."
Natalia was surprised at how quickly James had returned. Standing up, she said, "Magnus'' lips look
parched. He must be thirsty. I want to give him some water."
