Chapter 519
Natalia''s eyshes fluttered twice before her eyes slowly opened, revealing a dim gaze as she looked up at the overjoyed
Magnus, her voice tinged with despair. "Don''t lie to me, | won''t believe it."
"Oh no, darling, I''m not lying to you! Our boy, he''s reallye home!" Magnus’ brows arched with excitement, his entire
demeanor uplifted with joy.
Natalia eyed him, noticing the sincereck of jest in his expression. She slowly sat up. "You''re telling the truth?"
Magnus helped the worn Natalia to sit up, his voice filled with pain. "Yes, my love, he''s back. He''ll be here with us any moment
now.
Natalia clutched Magnus’ hand and was about to speak when she heard the voice of their son, Jonas, calling from the hallway,
growing louder as he approached. "Mom? Mom, where are you?"
Natalia cried out, "Jonas!" and tumbled out of bed.
Magnus rushed to her aid. She hadn''t eaten in days, and now, hearing Jonas’ voice, she trembled with overwhelming emotion.
The door of the room swung open, and there stood Jonas, dew still fresh on his shoes. "Mom!" he cried, rushing to embrace
Natalia, "Mom, | am back. I''m sorry for worrying you."
Natalia, hardly believing her eyes, felt tears that had long dried up now streaming down her face once more. She clung to Jonas’
shirt, her face streaked with tears. "Jonas, you''re really back. I''ve been so scared, scared that you wouldn''te home like your
sister."
Jonas'' voice wavered with emotion. He was still a child, after all. He held Natalia tightly. "Mom, I''m sorry. Don''t worry, | won''t be
gone like my sister, and one day, | believe she''lle back, too."
Natalia looked at her son, gaunt and darkened by the sun, sobbing uncontrobly with relief that Jonas was finally home.
"Jonas, never leave me again, okay?" Natalia couldn''t stop crying, and Jonas reached out his small hand to wipe away her tears.
He nodded firmly. "I won''t leave. I''ll always be with you, Mom."
Magnus joined them, embracing his wife and son, all shedding tears together.
When Richard arrived, he stood aside, his heart aching as he turned away. Paul had already been moved to tears. Such a
touching scene was enough to make even the stoic weep.
After her bout of crying, Natalia tried to stand, only to ck out and copse. As Natalia slowly fell, Magnus and Jonas both
eximed in unison, "Mom!" "Darling!"Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Magnus quickly caught Natalia andid her gently back on the bed, pressing the call button for the nurse.
Jonas’ heart was in his throat as he stammered, "Mom was fine just a moment ago. Why did she faint all of a sudden?"
Magnus held Natalia, his voice breaking. "Since you were gone, your mother hasn''t eaten anything. She was holding on, waiting
for you to return. If you hadn''te back, your mother..."
He couldn''t finish. Jonas was consumed with guilt, realizing his mother''s state was because of him. Thank god he had managed
to return.
The doctor entered to find both father and son anxiously standing by Natalia''s bed. After examining her, the doctor spoke softly,
"Ms. Natalia fainted due to a rush of extreme emotions,pounded by days of malnutrition. She should recover with some rest
and proper care."
With that, the doctor administered a nutrient IV and left. Jonas watched his mother resting on the bed, his heart heavy with worry.
He gently removed his hand from Natalia''s firm grasp and stepped out onto the hospital balcony.
Magnus followed after ensuring Natalia was settled. There, on the balcony, stood his son, bathed in backlight, taller than before.
He possessed a dignified air, reminiscent of Magnus’ younger self, perhaps even surpassing it.
Magnus approached his son, now seeming so grown-up, so wise beyond his years. Noticing Jonas’ haggard appearance,
Magnus knew he must have endured a harrowing journey to make it back to them.
"Dad!" Jonas turned, finding Magnus staring at him in silence.
Magnus stepped closer, reaching out to ruffle his son''s hair. "Did you face great dangers to get back to us?"
Jonas nodded. "After the ship exploded, | washed up in a mysterious vige. There, | encountered a viin who made me work
for him. | managed to escape, and then faced a great white shark on the open sea. Dad, it was a close call. If it weren''t for Mr.
Richard, | might not have made it back at all."
Jonas recounted his ordeal inly, holding back many details to prevent further worry, but even the simplified version sent chills
through Magnus. His son had proven himself strong and brave. He had survived unimaginable dangers.
Magnus ced a firm hand on Jonas'' shoulder. "Jonas, thank you foring back. If you hadn''t, | don''t think your mom could''ve
held on."
Jonas'' eyes brimmed with tears. He was, after all, just an eleven-year-old boy. He longed to cry out for all he had gone through,
and for the pir of strength he now needed to be for his mother.
But he was determined to be strong. He fought back the tears, lifting his gaze to meet Magnus’. "Dad, | found a clue about my
sister."
Magnus paused, "You''ve found your sister?"
Jonas shook his head, sharing with
solemn gravity. "| captured a

Magnus staggered back. A girl who resembled Jonas! That must''ve been his daughter. Jonas resembled Magnus and had
Natalia''s eyes.
Feeling his blood run cold, Magnus stammered, "And then what happened?"
"The ship exploded before | could find out more about my sister and Gabby. He died, and | lost the trail," Jonas said, looking
down.
Hearing Jonas'' words, Magnus’ hands trembled uncontrobly with excitement. He looked at his son''s youthful face, a n

Magnus drove straight to the police station. Richard was still there, wrapping up for the day, when he saw Magnus barrel in like a
tornado. He stood up promptly and asked, "Magnus, what brings you here at this hour?”
“I''m here for the lowdown on the drug lord, Grant''s file. Where''s his old stomping ground?" Magnus cut straight to the chase.
"Uh, what do you need with his haunt? The guy''s six feet under, isn''t he?” Richard furrowed his brows, puzzled by the sudden
inquiry.
