Chapter 311
Magnus slowly shook his head. "No, I''m just a bit parched."
Dr. Frankie was delighted to hear this, as it was the first time Magnus had asked for water during his
stay here. "Alright, I''ll get you some water right now."
With that, Dr. Frankie walked towards the water dispenser in the room, preparing water at the perfect
temperature for Magnus.
Now that Magnus regained consciousness, James felt a wave of relief wash over him. He strode over
and asked quietly, "Mr. Magnus, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, I''m alright. It feels like I''ve just awoken from a dream. My head is still a bit foggy but not as
heavy as before," Magnus replied, pointing to his body. "There''s still an itching sensation all over my
body. It''s a bit ufortable."
"Dr. Frankie, Dr. Frankie,e here! Mr. Magnus says he''s still feeling ufortable." James
anxiously rushed over to Dr. Frankie and dragged him over.
Caught off guard by James, Dr. Frankie nearly spilled the water he had just fetched. "Easy, take it
slow."

James hastily took the water from Dr. Frankie and pushed him towards Magnus. "Hurry, he''s not feeling
well."
Dr. Frankie was also somewhat nervous. After all, Belle provided the antidote, and although he had
tested it, he wasn''t sure if it would trigger any side effects.
"Mr. Magnus, where do you feel ufortable? You must tell me in detail. I can''t be sure if these are
indeed the antidotes."
Before Dr. Frankie could finish his sentence, James grumbled, "What? You''re not even sure, and you
gave it to Magnus? Have you lost your mind?"
"What else could I do? You''re well aware of Mr. Magnus'' condition. If we dyed further, the virus
would have continued to eat away at him like a nasty termite. If we weren''t at our wit''s end, do you
think I would have used the antidote Belle provided?" Dr. Frankie passionately defended himself. "As a
doctor, the most intolerable thing is to be threatened by disease. My mentor and I have experienced
countless failures, and we have to admit that the poison used by Belle is too despicable! Not being able
to develop an antidote is our greatest sorrow."
James knew this was the case. He onlyined a bit, but he hadn''t expected Dr. Frankie would say
so much. It seemed that Dr. Frankie had been under a lot of pressure these days just like him.
"Dr. Frankie, you know I didn''t mean it that way," James said apologetically, "The most important thing
now is to heal Mr. Magnus as soon as possible. As for that vicious woman, Belle, I hope I don''t catch
her. Otherwise, I will teach her a lesson that there are some people in this world who should not be
messed with!"
While Dr. Frankie and James were arguing, Magnus gradually regained his strength. He raised his
hand to signal them to stop arguing. "I''m fine, just a bit itchy and sore. Nothing else."
Despite their little argument, Dr. Frankie and James never stopped caring for Magnus. "Mr. Magnus,
your body hasn''t shown any adverse reactions. This proves that the medicine is definitely the antidote.
The itchiness and soreness are due to the extent of your previous poisoning. I''ll prepare some
medicine for you to speed up your recovery."
James added, "Magnus, a lot has happened while you were ill. Once you''re fully recovered, I''ll fill you
in. Or you could ask Natalia. She''s been by your side all this time, barely eating or sleeping; she''s lost
quite a bit of weight."
At the mention of Belle, Magnus felt an ominous feeling. "James, go fetch my wife. I wish to see her."
He missed Natalia dearly. He remembered her kiss and herforting words. She had promised to
travel the world with him and their son Jonas. He wanted to tell her he was fine and ready to fulfill that
promise.
Jamesughed. "No problem, I''ll be on my way. Dr. Frankie, I''m leaving Mr. Magnus in your hands. If
you can''t get him back to his old self soon, you''ll have to answer to my fists," He joked, raising his fists
at Dr. Frankie. He then headed to Jonas'' vi to fetch Natalia.
Dr. Frankie, now certain Belle''s antidote worked, felt a huge weight lift from his shoulders. He began
formting a recovery n for Magnus, aiming to get him back on his feet in no time.
Magnus was eager to cooperate with Dr. Frankie. He remembered Natalia''s gentle care and
encouraging words. He remembered her singing to him during his delirium. He remembered promising
to recover quickly, promising to take Natalia and little Jonas on a worldwide tour, promising to let
Natalia do anything she wanted.
During those unbearable days when it felt like he was being fried alive in hell''s kitchen, Natalia had
been by his side every step of the way. Now that he had finally managed to rid himself of that soul-
sucking poison, his only job was to recover and fulfill any promise he had ever made to Natalia.
Dr. Frankie had been bustling about in the hospital room for half the day, and Magnus had been
following his directions without question. Just then, James, who had gone to pick up Natalia, rushed in.
"Magnus, something’s wrong."
Magnus raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
"Look, Magnus, I went to pick up Nat, but when I got there, May told me that she hade home,
grabbed a small bag, and left again in tears. She thought Natalia was crying because you were ill and
in the hospital, so she didn''t ask, afraid it would upset her more. I immediately went to find Jonas, and
he said Natalia told him to be strong and take care of himself. Mr. Magnus, what…"
Before James could finish, Magnus was already struggling to get up from the bed in horror, "What? She
said that to Jonas?"
"Yes, Jonas also said that Natalia told him to listen to his father and be a man. Magnus, the more I
listened, the more it felt wrong, so I hurried back." James was so panicked that he was sweating
profusely.
