The Imposter Bride

Chapter 86

If it weren’t for them hiding behind that brick wall, they might have been blown to smithereens by that fireball.

And Magnus, still in his wheelchair, was now sprawled on top of her, his back serving as a human shield, protecting her from the flying debris. His back was now a bloody mess.

He was as pale as a ghost, but he continued to hold the girl in his arms tightly.

Meanwhile, Linden had been blown to the side by the heat wave, his head hitting the wall, and was now unconscious

“Magnus, Magnus, are you alright?” Seeing this scene, Natalia cried out loud. She struggled to get up and clung to Magnus, letting out a loud cry. Tears fell like broken beads.

“Don’t panic, I’m okay” Magnus felt truly heartbroken at Natalia’s despair. He tried to soothe her with his weak voice.

She was crying because her heart was aching, because she loved him. His back felt like it was on fire, but he felt very happy deep inside. “Nat, admit it, you love me, you care about me.” He thought to himself.

Then, biting back the pain, he said, “We’re not far from the elevator. We need to get to the basement. They can’t get to us there

With Linden unconscious and his injuries severe, Natalia alone could not protect them. Reaching the basement was their only chance of survival.

“Okay, I’ll get both you and Linden there.”

As Magnus spoke, Natalia, although scared, wiped her tears and stood up She used all her strength to help Magnus back onto his wheelchair. With utmost urgency, she wheeled him to the elevator. Then she returned and dragged the unconscious Linden into the elevator.

Magnus wished he could stand up and tell her that his legs had recovered.

By the time they made it safely to the basement of the mansion, Natalia, who had used up all her strength, shut all the entrances.

When she returned to Magnus side, she found his face deathly pale, his back bleeding profusely.

Natalia covered his back with her trembling hands, crying and saying, “Magnus, Magnus, you can’t die. Chase and the others are here. I heard gunfire outside. Didn’t you promise me a honeymoon? You can’t go back on your word

She would rather be the one injured than see Magnus become like this just to protect her. Magnus was different from her. He was exceptional, and his future held a million possibilities. And what was she, Natalia? Just a common girl living off others

Magnus risking his life for hers, it just wasn’t worth it.

“I will…I will make it up to you. Don’t leave…. leave me. Never never Magnus, heavily injured and somewhat delirious, smiled faintly upon hearing Natalia’s words.

After managing to say that, his vision blackened, and he passed out, knowing nothing.

When Magnus woke, he had no idea how long he had been unconscious. All he knew was that his whole body was aching and numb, and he was lying in bed. He lifted his head slightly and saw a dark– haired girl lying by the side of his bed, and a haggard face.

“Cough, cough” His throat was dry, and Magnus couldn’t help but cough.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

The sound of his cough startled the sleeping girl, who instinctively reached out to pat his back. But seeing the thick bandage on his back, Natalia froze, Her eyes reddened, and tears began to fall.

“Cough…cough, why are you crying, my dear? I’m fine, aren’t I?” Magnus was shocked to wake up and see his beloved in tears. He croaked at her with a hoarse voice

“Magnus, you’re awake? You’re really awake?” Natalia had initially thought that Magnus coughing was just a natural reflex, like it had been for the past few days, and that he hadn’t really woken up.

But when Magnus spoke, she realized that he was really awake and looking at her. So Natalia cried even harder, her voice choked with emotion, You finally woke up Do you know how worried I’ve been these past days.”

After she had managed to bring Linden and Magnus to the basement of the mansion, she had hastily closed all entrances.

The noise outside grew louder. She waited in the basement for what felt like an eternity before Chase arrived with nearly twenty men in black, stormed the mansion, eliminated the snipers, and took them to the hospital

It was only then that she found out that Chase and his men didn’t know they were in the basement. They had found the basement entrance and forced their way in only to discover Magnus and the others inside

Magnus was so badly injured that he was unconscious, and Natalia was beside herself with grief

Even after they reached the hospital, and Linden had woken up after a few days. Magnus remained unconscious Natalia, consumed with worry, stayed by Magnus side every day, tirelessly caring for him She feared that if she blinked, Magnus would slip away from her

“Silly girl, I’m fine, aren’t I? Why are you crying?” Seeing Natalia so upset, Magnus tried to wipe her tears away, but the movement caused hum pain. Hiss The pain made him grimace His handsome features twisted in pain.

“Magnus, what’s wrong? Don’t move You’re so hurt. You need to be careful. I’ll call the doctor. Don’t move.”

Seeing Magnus in such pain, Natalia’s heart ached.

in a hurry, she reached out to hold Magnus down, preventing him from getting up. Her tears fall even faster, as she got up to leave, intending to fetch the doctor

God only knew how on edge she’d been these past few days, with Magnus lying there unconscious. She was genuinely terrified that Magnus would just keep sleeping, never to awaken again. She would then become the one who inadvertently caused Magnus‘ demise.

Magnus, with a bitter smile, took her hand and said, “I’m okay. Don’t go. Stay here with me.”

Then, with a trace of self–mockery, he said, “Look at me now, how pathetic I am, I can’t even wipe my woman’s tears. My dear, seeing me like this, have you fallen out of love with me
