The Imposter Bride

Chapter 307

As she spoke, Isabella deftly unclasped a thin silver chain from around her neck. Hanging from it was a tiny glass vial about the size of a thumb, filled with a deep green liquid This must have been the antidote

Upon seeing the coveted antidote, Natalia was overjoyed. She impulsively moved towards Isabella, reaching out to grab the vial, but Isabella skillfully sidestepped her.

Isabella held the antidote high, a cold smirk plastered on her face. “Natalia, you want this antidote, don’t you? No problem Leave Magnus, and I’ll make sure he takes it”

Natalia was taken aback “But even if I leave, Magnus will never accept you again.” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“Thats not your concern anymore I live to torment you two I want to break you apart, watch you drift apart, never to meet again” Isabella’s voice dripped with malice, her eyes gleaming with anticipation “Only when you’re gone will Magnus see how good I am! So, you must leave him. Go somewhere he’ll never find you!”

“Isabella, you’re seriously deluded if you think you can break us up like that. True love can’t be broken by time or distance You’re so naive Natalia was baffled by Isabella’s twisted logic it was madness

“Narve? Ha Isabella scoffed dismissively “You think it’s as simple as you leaving? Natalia, you have to swear, swear to never return to Magnus‘ side, then I’ll give you half of the antidote. The other half I’ll give to him after you’ve left”

“No. I can’t do that Natalia flatly refused How could she leave Magnus? if she just left like that, how heartbroken would he be?

“Can’t do it? Natalia, isn’t Magnus already starting to deteriorate? Let me tell you, if you let this poison spread, it will get worse until it seeps into his marrow. By then, even if you have the antidote, it’ll be useless Isabella pocketed the antidote, crossed her arms, and stared at Natalia with certainty, convinced she would agree

Natalia paled instantly She knew Magnus condition was critical, and the antidote was needed urgently. There was no more time to waste.

“Fine, I agree” Natalia sighed heavily, finally giving in to Isabella’s demands.

“Hmm, I knew you’d have to agree I want you to swear, that if you don’t leave Magnus, Jonas would meet a terrible end” Isabella’s eyes gleamed blood–red

Natalia was shocked She was being asked to swear on Jonas by this wicked woman!

Natalia stared hard at the woman in front of her, her heart aching as if hit by a tidal wave. “Fine! I promise, if I don’t leave Magnus, Jonas would meet a terrible end!” Her teeth gritted, she spat out the words, tears streaming down her face.

Isabella smirked triumphantly, handing over the vial around her neck to Natalia. “Here, this is half the antidote. Give it to Magnus, and it will stop his physical decay. But he needs the other half of the antidote for a full recovery. And that other half, I will give him only after you’re gone.”

Natalia took the antidote, treasuring it like a precious gem. She held the half–filled vial tightly, her body shaking uncontrollably.

“Natalia, I trust you’ll keep your word. But you better move quickly, because Magnus‘ condition can’t afford any more delays With that, Isabella turned and left.

Watching Isabella’s receding figure, Natalia finally came back to her senses. Her feet felt as if they weighed a ton, but the thought of saving Magnus spurred her on

Magnus condition was dire, any further delay was not an option Natalia held back her tears and quickly headed towards the private hospital nearby

The hospital was in chaos Dr. Frankie and his mentor had been tirelessly working in the pathology lab for days, but they had yet to come up with an effective antidote.

Natalia walked into the lab, handing Isabella’s antidote to Dr Frankie. “Dr. Frankie, can you check if this could help Magnus?“

Dr Frankie looked puzzled as he took the green liquid “What’s this?”

“Oh, it’s an antidote I bought at a high price Please test it to see if it can help Magnus. I’m afraid it might worsen his condition if it’s ineffective Natalia voiced her concerns. After all, Isabella was known for her deceitful tricks, who knew if this was a genuine antidote?

Natalia’s resourcefulness took Dr. Frankie aback ‘An expensive antidote? That’s great, Natalia, I’ll test it right away. Please wait a while, and we should have the results

soon

“Alright, thank you” Natalia hid her anxiety as best as she could. “I’ll go check on Magnus. Please let me know as soon as you have the results.”

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Natalia, its my job. I’ve been wracking my brains these past few days and couldn’t find an antidote for Mr. Magnus. I feel guilty I’ll let you know as soon as we have the results With that, Dr. Frankie got to work, carefully collecting a sample of the antidote and heading to test it.

Natalia left the lab and headed towards the room where Magnus was

Inside the room, Magnus was barely conscious, chained to the bed. His face was weary, his eyebrows furrowed in discomfort Natalia pulled up a chair next to him, her heart aching as she watched his skeletal face Overwhelmed by sadness and regret, tears fell from her eyes

Her fingers reached out tenderly tracing the features of Magnus face Starting from his forehead, sliding down his brows, across his nose, over his thin lips, and slowly continuing downward

“Magnus, do you know how much it pains me to leave you? She whispered.

“But I have no other choice Isabella has lost her mind, and I can’t stand by and watch her destroy you. I would willingly give my life in an instant if it meant your recovery, but the thought of parting with you is unbearable

“Isabella, that maniac has seen straight through me She knows that forcing me to leave you is more torturous than death itself

“Magnus, it hurts so much to leave If this antidote is real, please forgive me I just want you to live

Tears spilled from Natalia’s eyes as her fingers traced circles on Magnus body She could no longer hold back her sonow

“Ma’am, ma am! It’s amazing, the antidote you we procured is genuine! I’ve tested it and it’s indeed capable of halting the spread of the poison‘‘ Dr Frankie burst in, his excitement echoing throughout the room
