Chapter 178
Having said that, Chase and Carter promptly exited the room. James turned back to look at Magnus,
who was lying in bed with a cast on his leg, and comforted him, “Don’t worry too much about Natalia.
What will be will be. You lie here and rest, and remember, you have to listen to Dr. Frankie and
cooperate with the treatment. You can’t afford to get hurt again.”
After saying this, James nodded at Dr. Frankie and followed suit, leaving the hospital room.
The room quickly became quiet after they left, and Magnus soon fell into a sleep–like state
True to their word, Chase and Carter spared no resources and cost in their search for Natalia, who had
fallen overboard at sea. They combed the area for three days and even sent divers a thousand meters
out to search the ocean floor. But there was still no sign of Natalia. After half a month of no news, it
seemed impossible that they would find her
Upon waking, Magnus lay despondently in bed, his expression somewhat vacant. He was sure his wife
couldn’t be in danger! He believed she was still alive
As long as she came back safe, he promised he would never make her angry again. He would agree to
anything she wanted! Even if she insisted on divorcing him and leaving his side, he would try to make it
work.
He silently prayed that his wife would return safely, even if it cost him a leg!
Dr Frankie cast a glance at Magnus, who was lying quietly on the bed. He was no longer acting out or
shouting, and was just lying there lifelessly, as if he had no interest in anything. He was lost in his world
of longing for Natalia, full of regret.

Dr Frankie watched him and couldn’t help but shake his head As a doctor, beyond treating his physical
wounds, there was little he could do to console his friend’s emotional turmoil. He knew his friend’s heart
all too well. The first time, he watched as Magnus stood up from his wheelchair, enduring pain
unimaginable to most This time, he watched as Magnus was once again bound to a wheelchair, and his
heart ached for him.
After checking the medical equipment monitoring Magnus condition, Dr. Frankie cast another
concerned look at his patient before quietly exiting the room. He was just a doctor, after all Aside from
treating physical ailments, there was little he could do to help his friend’s emotional turmoil
Judging by Magnus expression, it seemed like he wouldn’t last long if they couldn’t find his wife.
Magnus stared silently at the ceiling for a long time. His mind was filled with memories of Natalia
Her little tempers, her occasional moods, the way she pouted, and her subtle frown. Everything was so
beautiful. It was as if she was still by his side.
never having left.
“Nat. God bless you. Please, come back soon” Silently. Magnus prayed in his heart for Natalia’s safety.
But he knew deep down that this was extravagant of him His wife might never come back.
Time passed in Magnus‘ silent prayer, and soon several more days had passed.
Magnus sat on the bed, watching the sky darken, and his mood falling along with it. He knew that as
time went on, he would never find his wife again.
Chase and Carter, who Magnus had sent out to find Natalia, still had no news.
As the sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the city lights began to shine, Chase and
Carter once again came to the hospital room. As soon as they pushed open the door to the room,
Magnus lifted his head anxiously “How is it? Have you found my wife?
Chase shook his head, telling him the harsh truth, “We hired thirty search and rescue teams, and we’ve
been searching for three days, but we havent found Natalia“
Following Chase, Carter came over with a plastic bag in hand. “Magnus, we searched the sea for
several days and only found this.”
With that, he brought the plastic bag over to Magnus, revealing a soggy, tattered slipper. This should be
Natalia’s
Looking at the slipper, Magnus heart sank to the bottom It was indeed his wife’s skipper She had left
wearing those slippers. Yes, it was hers.
Only the shoe was found, but not the person it was all too clear
Magnus didn’t dare to think further, still constantly comforting himself in his heart it’s impossible, she
must have been saved by someone. She must

Magnus went sident Chase and Carter knew he was having a hard time, but they didn’t know how to
comfort hum in this situatipa
James came in just then That’s great I asked everyone at the beach that day, and finally, someone told
me they saw a girl come up from the west dock after the police left, and then she drove away quickly
“What? Magnus suddenly sat up from the bed and asked loudly What did you just say? Say it again!”
James was startled by Magrius strong reaction and scratched his head a bit awkwardly asked around
at the beach today, and an old man who often picks things up by the sea told me that he saw a young
man pull something out of the sea and then leave hurriedly
“Damn it, then you said it was a girl who was saved Chase glared at James thinking he was
exaggerating
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames puffed out his chest, refusing to accept the criticism “That s right there about it, we’ve been
searching for Natalia for so long without finding her,
so she must have been saved by someone”
He knew that what James said had no basis, but to avoid discouraging Magnus Chase had no choice
but to go along with it. Yes, Natalia must have been saved by someone‘
Looking at the slipper, Magnus waved weakly at Chase and Carter “You can go now I want to be alone
for a while.”
As Magnus was still closing himself off. Chase was the first to speak, “Magnus, you have to think
poartreely. Natalia will be fine. She might have been saved by someone
Magnus didn’t say anything more, and just waved his hand to let them leave. His mind was in ghaos
right now, and he wanted some peace He hoped
Chapter 178
Chase was right, but he no longer held that hope in his heart. His wife might never come back
“Let’s head back,” Carter suggested tugging gently at Chase as they made their way out of the room.
He lowered his voice. “He’s not in a good mood. Let’s give him some space.”
The brothers nodded at each other and moved toward the exit. As they opened the door to leave, a
voice echoed from behind them, “Wait”
Carter and Chase halted their steps, turning their heads back towards the bed where Magnus lay. They
were unsure why he had stopped them.
“Keep the search going out on the sea. Don’t stop until you find her. Just keep looking,” Magnus
rasped, and his voice was straining with evident exhaustion. He closed his eyes. “I need some rest.
Let’s have some quiet”
The search was a mere comfort for his restless heart, a beacon of hope that he clung onto each day.
Days slipped by unnoticed in the waiting, in the hope that there would be news of Natalia However, with
each passing day, the only thing that greeted him was disappointment, over and over again
