Chapter 299
Dr. Frankie patiently exined, "Ma’am, you fainted when you came calling for us yesterday, so we
decided to let you rest here. I don''t want to lie to you. The symptoms of decay you see are due to the
toxins in Mr. Andersen’s body. If we can''t find an antidote in time, the decay will deepen, and even
spread from the outside in and endanger Magnus'' organs."
Dr. Frankie''s words struck Natalia like a bolt out of the blue, leaving her weak. She knew that when
Magnus'' poison acted up, he would go crazy, but she never imagined that the toxins would gradually
eat away at his health.
"No!" Natalia backed away, shaking her head. "This can''t be happening! I won''t ept it!"
She pulled out her cell phone and dialed James with trembling fingers. "I need to call James and ask
him if he''s found that woman named Belle."
The phone was answered quickly, and James'' weary voice came through. "Hello, Natalia? Is there
another update on Magnus?"
Natalia wanted to tell James about Magnus'' condition but swallowed her words. She knew that telling
him wouldn''t help; it would only make him more anxious. So Natalia steadied her voice, asking as
calmly as she could, "Nothing major, I just wanted to ask, have you found Belle yet?"
At the other end, James cursed when he heard Belle''s name. "That damn woman, is she a mouse? My
men in Europe can''t find a single trace of her. She''s driving me nuts!"
Natalia''s heart sank, and she hurriedly hung up after offering James some weak words offort.
Still no sign of Belle.
Natalia clenched her hand around her phone until her knuckles turned white. Her mind was filled with
unshakeable anger. She despised that woman, Belle. If she ever met her, she''d p her without
hesitation and demand to know why she''dmitted such a heinous act.
"It''s bad. It''s really bad! Mr. Magnus'' poison is acting up again," a nurse rushed in, her voice filled with
panic. "He''s broken the straps on the bed!"
Out of pity, Natalia reced the chains that had been binding Magnus with straps. Now, the straps
were useless in restraining him.
"What?!" Dr. Frankie turned pale and rushed towards the sickroom.
Natalia followed behind, her steps unsteady. Her world was falling apart!
When they arrived at the sick room, they found Magnus showing uncharacteristic strength. He had
shattered the straps on the bed and even knocked the entire bed over. He was kicking it furiously and
cursing, "You bastards! Let me out! Give me the tea! Let me out!"
Natalia didn''t hesitate. She tried to enter the room, but Dr. Frankie blocked her. "Ma’am, you can''t go in
there now."
"Why not?" Natalia looked at Dr. Frankie in confusion. "Magnus is in danger right now. If we let him
carry on like this, he''ll hurt himself."
"That''s true, but he''s in a frenzy right now. If you rush in, he might hurt you!" Dr. Frankie tried to
dissuade her.
Natalia insisted on opening the door. "I''m not afraid! I know that no matter what he bes, he will
never hurt me!"
"Ma’am! How can you be so reckless? If you get hurt, who''s going to care for Mr. Andersen? You need
to take care of yourself for his sake!" Dr. Frankie desperately tried to shake Natalia out of her resolve.
Natalia shook her head, a resolute smile on her face. "Dr. Frankie, don''t worry. I won''t get hurt. Nobody
understands Magnus better than me. Even if he could harm the entire world, he would never hurt me.
And look at him now, he must be in pain. How could I stand by and leave him alone in this empty
room? I need to be with him, and you can''t stop me."
Dr. Frankie was speechless at Natalia''s determination. He suddenly understood why Magnus loved her

so much – she was just as stubborn as he was, beyond all hope of salvation!
Natalia pushed open the door and slowly walked in.
Magnus was in the room, furiously destroying everything that restrained him. He heard the sound of the
lock and turned his bloodshot eyes on Natalia. "Give me the tea, or I''ll kill you!"
Natalia showed no fear. She stepped over the clutter on the floor and approached the agitated Magnus.
"Magnus, don''t hurt yourself like this. Destroying these things will only tire you out. I know you''re in a lot
of difort right now, so I''m here to keep youpany. I can''t ease your pain, but if hitting
something will help, then take it out on me."
With that, Natalia closed her eyes and waited for the punch she knew wasing. She was betting
that even in his madness, Magnus would never harm her.
Now beyond reasoning, Magnus rushed at Natalia and shoved her against the wall. He clenched his
teeth and wrapped his hands around Natalia''s slender neck. "Give me the tea, or I''ll snap your neck!"
People outside the door gasped in horror. Dr. Frankie immediately pushed through the door and rushed
in, shouting at Magnus, "Mr. Magnus, stop right there! Open your eyes and see clearly, she''s the
woman you love the most, are you really going to choke her to death?"
However, at this point, Magnus'' mind was buzzing as if it was about to explode,pletely deaf to Dr.
Frankie''s cries. His hands were relentlessly tightening.
Natalia stood in front of Magnus with her face pale, her gaze showing her unbelievable resolve. She
believed that Magnus would never harm her even if it meant destroying the whole world.
With his eyes bloodshot from rage, Magnus met Natalia''s gaze, emitting a fierce light. Hisrge hand
Dr. Frankie was so frightened that he didn''t dare blink, fearing that a little more force from Magnus
would hurt Natalia. But the next moment, Magnus, who was still in a frenzy, suddenly lost all his
strength, and copsed like a ragdoll, knocking Natalia down with him.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Natalia, ignoring the pain of being knocked
down, voiced her concern anxiously, "Magnus, what''s wrong? Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
