Chapter 78
Chapter 78
Lucius was ruthless enough in the past, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals. Now, there was a
more ferocious Magnus. Compared to Lucius, he was a thousand times more ruthless. The Clarksons,
regardless of who it was, were not to be trifled with.
However, Addison had never seen Kyler so livid before. Upon witnessing Kyler's rage, she was initially
stunned. Once she snapped out of it, she lashed out at Kyler. "Kyler, you bastard! Are you blaming me
for Kendra's condition? Are you not responsible, too? Now Kendra's life hangs in the balance, and
you're still talking about her getting a divorce.
"You're doing this for your illegitimate daughter, aren't you? So she can secure her position as the lady
of the Andersen Corporation, right? After all these years, you're still protecting that bastard child?"
Back in the day, Kyler brought Natalia, that little tramp, into their home without her consent. Throughout
the years, Addison had taken satisfaction in tormenting Natalia in every possible way. But every time
she saw how Kyler went out of his way to protect Natalia, she was filled with a rage so intense, she
could almost taste it.
Now that Kyler planned to plot to make Natalia, that little tramp, the lady of the Andersen Corporation,
and even joined forces with Magnus to force Kendra into a divorce, there was no way Addison would
agree to this.
The position of Mrs. Andersen should only belong to their daughter Kendra. Natalia, the illegitimate
child, was so unworthy that even marrying a beggar would be too good for her!
"You... you…" At this point, Addison was still stubbornly refusing to see the truth. Kyler was almost
driven to his wit's end by her.
Just when Kyler was about to retort, the doors of the operating room were suddenly pushed open. A
nurse with a grim expression stormed out, frowning as she yelled at them, "This is a hospital, not your
personal battlefield! Your quarrel is disturbing the doctors' focus. If anything goes wrong, will you take
responsibility?"
Truth be told, this nurse had never seen a family so uncaring about their patient's condition. They were
quarreling non-stop outside the operating room. These rich folks showed such strange behavior.
Wasn’t the patient’s life supposed to be the most important thing at this moment?
The formerly quarrelling couple, Kyler and Addison, immediately fell silent at the nurse's scolding.
Bubbling with suppressed anger, Kyler turned his head to the side and stayed silent. Meanwhile,
Addison, who was extremely worried for Kendra, quickly approached the nurse, asking anxiously,
"How’s my daughter doing? Is she alright? Please save her, I beg you, she must be alright!"
Looking at Addison's frantic state, the nurse, who had been drawn out by their noise, retained her grim
expression. Her tone was icy as she said, "Our doctors will do their best to stop the bleeding. Please
keep quiet and stop causing a commotion."
After saying this, the nurse, who seemed to have no interest in talking to Addison, returned to the
operating room and closed the door behind her.
Once the nurse had left, Addison didn't want her quarrelling with Kyler to affect Kendra's treatment, so
she shot Kyler a cold look and threatened, "You better pray nothing happens to Kendra. If anything
happens to my daughter, I'll make sure you and that little tramp pay dearly!"
After so many years, Natalia not only took Kendra's place in the Clarkson family but was also trying to
take over Kendra's position as the lady of the Mrs. Andersen. Furthermore, she had caused Kendra to
end up in this critical condition.
Addison's hatred for Natalia was now at its peak. She had made up her mind that from now on, she
wouldn't let Natalia live a peaceful life!
Natalia, who had been worn out by Magnus' antics, fell into a deep sleep. She had slept for about three
hours. When she woke up, it was late. Seeing the sun setting in the sky, Natalia felt frustrated thinking
about how she had fallen asleep and missed the chance to massage Magnus. She quickly got dressed
and searched for Magnus in their bedroom and his study, but couldn't find him.
The heartbroken Natalia descended the stairs and asked a servant anxiously, "Where's Magnus? Did
he go back to the office?"
Magnus had specifically taken half a day off from work today because Carter, Chase, and James were
visiting Maplewood Manor, but she had slept through the day, missing the opportunity to massage him.
Given how busy Magnus was, the opportunities she had to massage him were few and far between. If
this continued, when would Magnus' leg heal? When could she leave Maplewood Manor?
Every time she thought about these issues, Natalia's mood would plummet, and her face would cloud
over in despair.
Upon hearing Natalia's question, the servant didn't answer her but instead looked towards a certain
spot in the hallway.
"Why are you so unhappy? Is it just because you woke up and didn't see me?" Magnus, who was
reading documents in the living room, heard Natalia's voice, and his mood instantly lifted.
He turned around to look at Natalia standing on the stairs. His eyes, dark and intense, were filled with
amusement.
In his mind, he smirked, "This little firecracker, wasn't she still sulking yesterday, refusing to talk to him?
Yet today, as soon as she woke up, she was looking for him. It seemed that her usual behavior was all
just a façade. She was indeed a little mischievous.” But a woman still needed gentle care to reveal her
true feelings.
Natalia had thought that after sleeping so long, Magnus must have returned to his office. To her
surprise, Magnus, who was usually immersed in paperwork in his study, was lounging in the living room
today.
Therefore, her frantic search for him was busted. Natalia’s face turned beet red in an instant. She
quickly shook her head and explained, "I remembered that I had to give you a massage. I thought you
had gone to the office, and that's why I came looking for you."
It wasn’t because she woke up and couldn't see Magnus, and that made her upset. Magnus was
always like this, always twisting her words, no matter what she said. This often left Natalia doubting her
own thoughts. Was it really as he suggested or as she believed?
"Oh? Is giving me a massage that important to you? Or is it because you woke up and couldn't feel my
embrace, which left a void in your heart?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
