Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 109

Genevieve's voice rang out, clear and loud.

Victor was sitting right beside Isadora, so he had no trouble catching every word of the phone call.

Isadora lifted a hand, as if to shield the conversation, but it didn't do much to muffle the sound.

The grand, luxurious living room was empty except for her and Victor.

Isadora lowered her voice. "Genevieve, now's not a good time."

On the other end, Genevieve stood outside the door of a private suite in an exclusive hospital.

She'd just returned from overseas a couple of days ago and was still out of the loop about what had happened in Capitolion.

To her shock, she'd barely set foot back home when she heard that her brother, Magnus, had been rushed from the office to the hospital that very day.

Magnus had even insisted the doctors not inform the rest of the Wainwright family.

So now, only Genevieve and a few of Magnus's brothers knew what was going

on.

The doctor's diagnosis was clear: overwork, poor eating habits, a severe migraine, and a perforated ulcer-one thing piling onto another.

Just then, a nurse finished hanging a fresh IV bag and slipped out of the room.

Peeking through the crack in the door, Genevieve could see Magnus, pale and gaunt, lying in bed.

His long fingers pressed against his stomach, brows furrowed tight in pain.

Even now, his features were sharp and cold, but there was a fragility about him that Genevieve had never seen before.

In the past, Magnus never would've ended up here. If he so much as caught a cold, Isadora would be by his side in a heartbeat, fussing over him, treating him like he was the center of her world.

But when Genevieve arrived at the hospital, she only saw Scales and Sammy in the room-not Isadora. It struck her as odd.
