The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 171

"Ma’am, do you want to eat something?" Linden brought over a bowl of chicken soup. His eyes filled

with concern as he watched Natalia, who had lost a considerable amount of weight.

Natalia merely shook her head in silence. She wasn’t hungry, and she had no appetite whatsoever.

"Madam, even if you have no appetite, you have to think of the little gentleman growing inside you.

He's developing and needs plenty of nutrients. Look at you now. You’re so thin. When Mr. Magnus sees

you, he'll surely be heartbroken." Linden tried to reason with Natalia, hoping she would feel better.

Natalia lifted her eyelids at the mention of Magnus. "Really? Would he truly care? Heh, I bet he has

already forgotten about me."

Linden shook his head helplessly, he was amazed at Natalia's stubbornness. "Ma’am, he is a very

devoted man. In all these years, I've never seen him care for anyone as much as he does for you.

You're the only one who can sway his emotions."

"Please stop being angry with the young master. Shall I call him to come back?"

"No need." Natalia gave a bitter smile, not taking Linden's words to heart. If he wanted to come back,

he would've done so already. There was no need for any phone calls.

"Madam, Mr. Magnus' cousin is here." May's voice came from downstairs. She was hesitant as whether

to let Hector in. Magnus had instructed before he left to take good care of the madam and not to let her

see anyone. So, would there be any problem letting Hector visit the madam?

Magnus' cousin? Natalia pondered for a moment. Was Hector here? She slowly stood up from the

balcony and walked downstairs. "Let him in."

By the time Natalia descended the stairs, Hector had already stepped inside.

Their eyes met, and both of them froze.

Hector stared at Natalia, who was so thin she barely looked human. Her belly was protruding. She

looked so frail, a gust of wind could probably blow her away.

His heart felt as if it was being torn apart. The pain was unbearable. "Natalia, how did you get so thin?

That bastard Magnus, has he been mistreating you?"

"No." Natalia forced a smile, gesturing for Hector to sit down. "I'm fine. What brings you here?"

"Fine?" Hector's voice rose sharply. "Natalia, why are you covering up for that bastard?! He has you

trapped on Sapphire Island and you say there's nothing wrong! Look at the state you're in! Where is

he? Where is he?! I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"

He turned to leave but was stopped by Natalia grabbing his wrist. "Hector, I'm really okay." She looked

at Hector's handsome face, full of anger and sadness because of her. Unable to hold back her tears,

she began to cry.

Hector opened his arms and pulled her frail body into his embrace, gently wiping her tears away.

"Natalia, don't cry. I'm here and crying isn't good for the baby." He softly wiped away her tears.

Natalia cried even harder. She was like a broken dam, unable to hold back her tears. She soaked a

large patch of Hector's shirt with her tears.

Hector held her silently. His heart was in pain as he watched Natalia, who he had once vowed to take

care of for the rest of his life, weep uncontrollably. He had promised to make her happy but look at her

now...

After letting Natalia cry it all out, Hector gently moved her shoulders. "Natalia, come with me. I will take Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

care of you and the baby. Magnus doesn't love you. What kind of man leaves his pregnant wife alone

on an island?! Trust me, Natalia." As he wiped away her endless stream of tears, he gently patted her

shoulder.

Hearing Hector's words, Natalia finally came back to her senses. She quickly straightened up. "I'm

sorry, Hector, but I can't leave. I promised Morgan that I would have this baby. No matter what, I will

have this baby."

"Natalia, why are you doing this to yourself?! Magnus is a bastard, and I'm going to find him." Hector

was furious.

Natalia wiped her tears and laughed. "Hector, I'm doing fine here. It's very quiet. Magnus didn't trap me

here. I came willingly."

"Natalia, how long are you going to defend that bastard? Do you know how fragile a woman is when

she's pregnant? He, as your husband, should be by your side. Instead, he left you alone on this island.

Is this his way of treating you well?"

Hector grabbed Natalia's shoulders. His heart was aching for her.

"Let her go!" Suddenly, a cold voice echoed from the entrance of the living room. Magnus, dressed in a

black shirt and holding car keys, appeared like a king descending from the heavens. His piercing gaze

fixed on Natalia and Hector huddled together in the middle of the room.

Ever since he heard Hector's words, he had been on edge. He couldn't hold back any longer. He

wanted to return to Sapphire Island. He hadn't slept well in days as he missed Natalia terribly.

He left work early today and headed straight for Sapphire Island. He wanted to apologize to his wife; he

was willing to sleep in the study if she resented him. But he didn't want to sleep in the office anymore.

The moment he opened the door, he saw the two of them huddled together in the living room. Natalia

was sobbing in the arms of her first love. His blood turned cold, and his eyes were filled with mock. She

was unhappy and crying so pitifully after seeing Hector.

Hector and Natalia slowly turned their heads to see Magnus walking towards them. Hector let go of

Natalia and stood in front of her, shielding her. "What do you want? It's good that you're back, I..."

Magnus didn't wait for Hector to finish. He clenched his fists and punched Hector in the face. With a

loud bang, Hector fell onto the couch. Despite the pain in his jaw, he quickly got up. Blood was trickling

from the corner of his mouth. He turned around and swung a punch at Magnus as well. The two men

started fighting in the living room.

Feeling distraught, Natalia stood by their side, yelling, "Stop fighting, both of you! Hector, leave now.

Magnus, stop!"

Magnus could hear Natalia calling out to Hector with such an intimate tone. She was pleading with him

to stop. The force in his fist intensified immediately, and the living room echoed with the sound of his

punches landing and Hector’s stifled grunts. Both of them ignored Natalia’s cries, continuing the brawl.

Witnessing Hector’s battered and bloody face, Natalia rushed over, but as she moved forward, a

sudden intense pain in her abdomen caused her to falter and collapse onto the floor. Her vision blurred,

and slowly, she fell to the ground, which both men saw.

"Natalia!"

"Natalia!"

The two men immediately rushed over.

Hector, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, moved to help Natalia, but was kicked away by

Magnus. "Get lost!"

Magnus held Natalia, looking at her pale face. His heart was about to leap out of his chest. "Natalia,

what's wrong?"

"My stomach... it hurts so much..." Natalia could feel the little one inside her stirring restlessly. She had

been feeling upset and had barely eaten anything. With this sudden stress, there was a high risk of

premature labor.

"Linden, Linden, go get the doctor fast." Magnus held Natalia tightly. She had lost more weight in the

past week, and her belly was the only thing growing, while the rest of her body was thin as a rail!
