Chapter 272
Bending over, Addison picked up the kitchen knife, her voice bitter and cold. "Natalia, you would have
to be dead first! Then I will return him safe and sound to the Andersen family, without a hair on his head
harmed!"
Watching Addison, who seemed to have lost her mind, and the heartless Kyler, Natalia began to
chuckle. She slowly approached Addison.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the hand that held the knife. Before Addison could react,
Natalia snatched the knife from her and tossed it at Kyler's feet.
"You…" Addison was taken aback, never expecting Natalia to fight back, and her wrist began to ache.
Natalia looked at Addison with indifference. "You think you can bully me like you did five years ago?"
In the four years since Callum woke her up, he had taught her many self-defense and grappling
techniques in order to strengthen her body. Therefore, Addison couldn't hurt her at all.
Addison panicked, shouting at Kyler, who was standing by the window, "Kyler, you fool, subdue her!"
Just then, Natalia brushed Addison aside, causing her to fall to the floor.
Natalia rushed to the couch and held Jonas. "Jonas, are you okay?"
Panicked, Natalia picked up Jonas and made her way out of the room.
Addison got up from the floor and picked up the knife that was by Kyler's feet. She aimed it at Natalia's
back!
"Stop, Addison!" Kyler finally snapped out of his daze, but it was too late. Bright red blood began to flow
from Natalia's shoulder.
At that moment, the door was kicked open, and Magnus saw Natalia holding Jonas, a knife lodged in
her shoulder.
"Honey!" Magnus shouted.
With a loud thud, Addison was kicked by Magnus and flew back, crashing into the living room wall and ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
rebounding onto the TV.
Policemen flooded in from outside, subduing Kyler and Addison on the floor.
Magnus' eyes were bloodshot. Holding Jonas with one hand and supporting the pale-faced Natalia with
the other, he said, "Hold on, Honey. I'll take you to the hospital right away!"
Paul hurriedly took the unconscious Jonas. Magnus picked up Natalia and rushed to his car, heading
straight for the hospital.
Kyler's house was in chaos after Magnus left. Several policemen surrounded Addison. "You're
Addison? You're suspected of kidnapping. Come with us!"
Addison got up from the floor, clutching her aching head. "What? Kidnapping? When did I kidnap
anyone?"
The police officer put handcuffs on Addison. "You know what you did. Save your explanations for the
police station!"
With that, the officer pulled Addison up from the ground and pushed her toward the door.
Kyler, desperate, tried to intervene. "Officers, my wife just lost her head for a moment. Please forgive
her. She won't do it again."
"Mr. Kyler, you're a respected figure in Melfort. Kidnapping is not a joke. We'll handle this case
impartially," the officer advised him. "You should be pleading with Mr. Andersen, not us. He might be
able to reduce the charges against your wife. Otherwise, she'll spend the rest of her life in jail."
Hearing this, Addison nearly lost her mind. She cried out to Kyler, "Kyler, I don't want to go to jail! Go
find Natalia! It's all her fault! She should save me!"
Kyler looked at his wife, her makeup smeared from crying, and he felt helpless. "Addison, if you had
listened to me earlier, we wouldn't be in this situation. But you're still blaming Natalia. I don't know what
to say to you."
"How could you say that?" Addison screamed. "If it weren't for you being so useless, I would have
avenged our daughter! As long as I don't get the death penalty, the first thing I'll do when I get out is to
kill that little bitch Natalia! Just you wait!"
Seeing the hysterical Addison, Kyler was filled with disappointment.
Just as he was about to intervene, the police officer couldn't take it anymore and took Addison away.
"Mr. Kyler, please don't obstruct our work."
Left with no other choice, Kyler watched as the police led Addison away.
Little did they know, Kendra walked into the room after they left, her face filled with resentment.
"Magnus, Natalia, you will pay for what you owe me!"
In the hospital, Magnus, holding the injured Natalia, ran frantically towards the emergency room. While
running, he yelled, "Doctor? Where's the doctor? Please save her!"
Magnus' voice echoed like a lion's roar, drawing all the doctors in the emergency room out. "What's
going on? What happened?"
"My wife's been stabbed in the shoulder, and she's bleeding. Please treat her immediately. She can't be
harmed any further," Magnus urged, laying Natalia on a hospital bed.
After a quick examination, the doctors confirmed that Natalia had been stabbed in the shoulder, but the
wound wasn't deep. It could be bandaged and healed quickly.
As emergency room doctors, they saw countless critical patients every day. However, they had never
seen someone who had merely been injured in the shoulder screaming for help.
Even though the emergency room doctor was internally grumbling, he had to maintain a respectful
demeanor since Magnus was his boss. "Mr. Andersen, Mrs. Andersen has only suffered minor external
injuries. After we stitch her up and apply some ointment, she'll be fine in no time."
"Minor injuries? She's lost so much blood, are you blind? Why hasn't she woken up?" Magnus roared
at the doctor.
The doctor, feeling a headache coming on, silently lowered his head. After a moment, he said, "Mr.
Andersen, Mrs. Andersen is fine. She's just a bit faint from the sight of her blood."
"Well, what are you waiting for then? Treat her right away! If anything happens to her, you'll all be out of
jobs!" Magnus shouted. His usual refined demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
The doctor was speechless, thinking to himself, “Well, what can you do when he's the boss; you can't
afford to offend him.”
None of the doctors dared to say anything. After all, in Melfort, Magnus was infamous for his
ruthlessness. He could make even the mayor leave town, let alone a mere doctor.
The doctors carried on with their work – cleaning the wound, stitching it up, and applying ointment.
