The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 176

The doctor stood next to Magnus, finishing his sentence.

"Bang!" Magnus swung a punch at the doctor, sending him flying into the wall and bouncing back onto

a tray of surgical tools. The noise echoed through the operation room and shards of glass scattered

everywhere. Everyone stared at Magnus in shock, then at the doctor convulsively twitching on the floor.

Morgan stormed in with anger blazing in his eyes. "Magnus, what on earth are you doing?" Four

bodyguards immediately appeared behind him and dragged Magnus away.

This chaos seemed irrelevant to Natalis laying on the operating table. Silent and still, she seemed to be

drifting further and further away.

Natalia had a dream, a dream of a smiling little boy reaching out with his chubby hand and calling her

“Mommy.” Her heart melted like butter. She reached out to hold the floating little boy, but he kept calling

her “Mommy” and floated further away.

No matter how desperately Natalia screamed, she couldn't grab his tiny hand. He drifted away from

her.

Suddenly Natalia woke up. Her child, her precious baby!

She woke up in a hospital, with a nurse sitting by her side. As soon as she opened her eyes, the nurse

stood up. "Madam, you're awake?"

So, she didn't die. She was still alive. She reached out to touch her belly, which was now flat and felt a

slight pain. "Where is my baby..." Her voice was hoarse and barely audible.

The nurse quickly adjusted her bed. "You need some water, madam."

After taking a sip of water, Natalia asked again, "Where's my baby? Please bring him to me."

"Your baby... Madam, you should rest first. I'll be right back." The nurse evaded her question and

Natalia's brows furrowed in worry.

Ignoring her hunger, she grabbed the nurse's forearm. "Where is my baby?" She needed to see her

child.

"Madam... your baby... he didn't make it. He died of oxygen deprivation at birth." The nurse broke down

in tears after finishing her sentence. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalia's mind went blank. She stared at the nurse, pulled out the IV, and staggered out of bed, making

her way towards the door.

"Madam, you can't leave! Oh no, you're not wearing shoes. You're bleeding!" The nurse hurriedly

grabbed a pair of slippers and followed her.

Wearing a patient's gown, Natalia ran frantically.

At the end of the hallway, she found the "Neonatal Unit." She pushed the door open just as someone

was leaving. She grabbed the person's arm. "Doctor, where's my baby? Where is he? Please bring him

to me!"

The doctor sighed and looked at Natalia with guilt. "Ms. Natalia, I'm sorry. We couldn't save your baby.

He was already gone when you arrived. It was due to oxygen deprivation. Please be strong. You and

Mr. Andersen are still young. You'll have more children."

After the doctor left, Natalia stood outside the Neonatal Unit, drained of all energy. She didn't know

when the nurse had put the slippers on her feet.

She stood at the end of the hallway, staring at the blue sky.

“Baby, I'm sorry!” She thought.

"Oh dear, madam, what are you doing here? I just made some hot soup. I knew you would wake up.

Mr. Andersen will be here soon. Let's go back to your room, madam."

It was Linden's voice that brought Natalia back to reality. She glanced at him and slowly walked

forward.

Linden had a thermos in his hand. He quickly jogged to the room to put down the thermos and came

back to assist Natalia. However, Natalia was already gone. Despite searching everywhere, Linden

couldn't find her. He immediately called Magnus who was already at the hospital.

Magnus had been staying in the hospital and had not slept for days. On the third day, the doctor said

that Natalia would wake up. He thought that Natalia would be repelled by his disheveled appearance,

so he quickly went home to shower and change his clothes. As soon as he was dressed, he received a

call from the hospital saying that Natalia was awake.

He rushed to the hospital, promising himself that he would never leave her alone on the island again.

He would go wherever she wanted to go and accompany her if she wanted to find her mother. He

realized his mistake.

When he parked his car at the hospital, he didn't even have time to remove the keys before rushing

upstairs to Natalia's room. No one was there!

He ran into Linden at the door. "Where's Natalia?"

"I don't know. She disappeared while I was putting the soup away." Linden was panicking.

Magnus started searching for Natalia but couldn't find her anywhere.

Meanwhile, Natalia was slowly descending the stairs and standing at the hospital entrance. She looked

up at the sky. “Baby, you didn’t want your mommy either?"

She saw Magnus rushing into the hospital and walked from behind the pillar towards his car. She

noticed that the engine was still running, and she got into the car and hit the gas, driving out of the

hospital.

She got straight in the car, stepped on the accelerator and pulled out of the hospital's entrance.

Magnus, unable to find Natalia, walked irritably to the window, only to see his car slowly leaving the

hospital. A moment of shock in his brain was quickly replaced by the realization. It’s his wife!

He snatched the keys from Linden and jumped straight out of the window, from the second floor

balcony to the ground, next to Linden's car. He opened the door and immediately chased after her, but

Natalia's car had already driven out of the city centre and was racing toward the outskirts.

Magnus taught Natalia how to drive. Due to her long break from driving and her weak body, the car was

swerving on the road.

Magnus caught up with her, and his heart was pounding. "Natalia, stop the car now!"

Natalia couldn't hear anything from outside. She stepped on the gas pedal, quickly joining the freeway

and rushing towards the overpass!

At this moment, Magnus felt as if the world was shaking. He saw the car speeding towards the

overpass, rolled down the window and shouted, "Nat, listen to me, stop the car. It's dangerous ahead.

Please!"

But Natalia's eyes were only on the road ahead. Her mind was blank.

“Baby, I'm sorry. If there's a next life, I'll never let you leave me again. You must be cold down there.

Mommy will be with you soon.”

Ten minutes later, the car was on the overpass. Natalia closed her eyes and laughed bitterly. She

wanted to end her life, and let the ugly world be none of her concern.

Behind her, Magnus saw the car rush onto the overpass. His eyes were about to burst from his skull as

he shouted, "Nat--"

But his voice was ruthlessly scattered by the coastal breeze. The car in front of him careened past the

guardrail, and plunged straight into the sea...

Magnus had shut his eyes, following suit, and crashing into the barrier, only to be flung back and

wedged between the metal beams.

Finally, everything calmed. Natalia's car had caused a massive splash as it plummeted into the water.

Her petite figure was tossed about by the waves, carried off through the shattered window, and drifted

into the distance...

...

A fortnight later, in the Andersen family’s private hospital, Magnus slowly opened his eyes. The

afternoon sun streamed into his ward. The room was maintained at a comfortable temperature, but

beads of sweat still trickled down his nose.

Where was he? And where was his wife?
