Chapter 179

That day, Kyler and Addison suddenly appeared in the hospital room and were shocked to see Magnus, who had become haggard and almost unrecognizable over the past month.

“Mr. Andersen, death is irreversible. Please accept my condolences” Addison couldn’t help but feel a twinge of glee. Now that Natalia was out of the picture, Kendra would surely step into the role of the CEO’s wife soon.

Kyler shot Addison a severe look. “Leave us, I would like to speak with Mr. Andersen alone”

Addison glanced at Magnus before exiting the room, leaving the two men in their somber silence

Magnus continued to gaze blankly at the ceiling

Kyler sat by his bedside. Guilt was welling up in his chest as he looked at the shell of the man he once knew “Mr Andersen, there is something I think you should know about Natalia’s background,” Kyler began, watching as Magnus slowly shifted his gaze toward him

He continued. “Natalia wasn’t my biological daughter. Her mother was a college sweetheart of mine. My parents disapproved of our relationship, which caused her to leave for England in a fit of anger. There, she worked as a secretary for a Duke, who took advantage of her in a drunken state, resulting in Natalia’s conception She was diagnosed with a thin uterine wall, and terminating the pregnancy would have meant she could never bear children again So, she gave birth to Natalia in secret

“Fearing the Duke would discover Natalia, she placed her in a British orphanage. When Natalia was five, her mother entrusted her to me, fearing the Duke’s family feud might have put her in danger. To help Natalia forget her past, a hypnotist was hired to erase her memories prior to the age of five

“When Natalia had her accident, her mother was devastated I, too, feel regret for failing to protect her Kyler finished with a teardrop rolling down his

cheek

Magnus sat in stunned silence. His mind was reeling from the revelation. So, Natalia was the daughter of a British Duke. No wonder her demeanor was so different from Kendra’s

Could Natalia still love her mother knowing all this? She wiped away Natalia’s memories before the age of five, how cruel.

Natalia’s mother brought her into this world only to abandon her. What good was her mother? All these years, why didn’t Natalia’s mother come to see her? She was only expressing grief over Natalia when tragedy struck

Magnus glared at Kyler “And what about you? How have you taken care of Natalia all these years? Her departure suits you just fine, doesn’t it? Don’t pretend to feel guilty!”

Magnus was also partly to blame. He had imprisoned Natalia on Sapphire Island, leading to her depression and premature labor. Natalia couldn’t bear the loss of their child and jumped into the sea. Magnus was the true executioner

Magnus felt as if his heart was bleeding. If he could, he would give up his own life to bring Natalia back, even if she no longer belonged to him.

Kyler lowered his head without uttering a word, feeling regret for failing Natalia’s mother.

A few days later, Magnus was unable to bear the cold isolation of the special care ward, checked out of the hospital, and returned to Sapphire Island

As the car slowly pulled up to Sapphire Island, Carter helped Magnus out. Looking at the wheelchair he was bound to once again, Magnus let out a bitter laugh. This wheelchair seemed to be more of a companion for him.

He looked up at the familiar house, and his eyes began misting over for a moment. There was a time when he thought these luxurious houses were cold and uninteresting, but today, for the first time, he felt a sense of warmth. It felt like home. His most beloved woman used to live here, but now, nowhere to be found

Magnus sighed deeply, turning to Carter “Let’s go in.”

Carter nodded pushing Magnus into the mansion

she was

Linden and May emerged from the house, bowing their heads respectfully as they saw Magnus return. They quickly moved to take over, pushing the wheelchair “Mr Mgarius NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Without a word, Magnus was wheeled towards the elevator and up to his bedroom with Carter following closely behind

He pushed open the bedroom door it was a familiar room, familiar bedding, but no familiar person. As he slowly wheeled over to the bed, he reached out and gently touched the sheets. He opened the wardrobe, and it was filled with freshly changed clothes Suddenly, he felt something trickling down his

face

Tears He was becoming just like Natalia, crying at the drop of a hat Carter saw Magnus pain, left him alone, and retreated to the study

Magnus slowly wheeled around the room, touching every article of Natalia’s clothing Then, he moved to the bedside table and slowly opened the drawer Tnside was the pendant he had returned to Callum and Natalia’s cellphone

He didn’t take the pendant He just carefully picked up the cellphone. He held the familiar device in his trembling hands and caressed it carefully. He gently pressed the power button, curious to see what Natalia had been thinking and what she had been doing

As the screen lit up. Magnus was greeted by a picture of him and Natalia It was taken when he was injured in France. He hadn’t expected her to keep it, let alone set it as her wallpaper.

The realization hit him hard, almost like a punch to the gut Natalia did love him. She hadrit abandoned him. She had kept their picture and their memories close to her, always. He was the one who had failed her. He had confined her to the island and, isolated from the world.

He scrolled through the rest of the photos, hoping to find more of their shared memories But what he found instead were numerous pictures of him and Isabella!

Kendra had sent these pictures to Natalia!

Magnus felt as if his brain had exploded. His hands shook as he flipped through the pictures. Each one was a damning testament to his flirtation with Isabella. Some of the photos were incredibly convincing, showing him and Isabella in what appeared to be a deep kiss. There were even shots of Isabella, wearing his jacket, leaving his office.

No wonder Nat despised him so much. These photos were enough to make anyone believe that he and Isabella were an item.

Isabella! He swore he would make her pay.

As he continued his perusal, he came across a series of videos. He immediately opened one, only to find himself and Kendra in a compromising situation! He watched in shock as the video played. The sounds of intimate whispers echoed in his ears.

Impossible! He hadn’t so much as touched a hair on Kendra’s head, so how could there be a video like this?

Carter came in from the study, only to hear the unseemly video playing. He shook his head with a chuckle, thinking. This guy even had the audacity to record himself in action. He’s got some nerve”

He stood behind Magnus with his head lowered in embarrassment Who would have thought that the seemingly gentle Natalia had such a kinky side?
