The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 128

“Enough! Back then, I barely had the energy to notice whether you walked or wheeled around. Just leave I don’t want to see you.” Natalia shouted, using every ounce of strength she had. She then buried her head into her pillow, her heart aching with humiliation.

His legs had been fine for a long time, and she still massaged him every day like a fool, worried that his legs would atrophy if he sat too long. Her ceaseless worry had turned her into the butt of his joke. How foolish she had been!

Magnus felt somewhat helpless. Back then, she was so exhausted she didn’t even notice that he had walked to the bathroom, “My dear, I’m sorry. But you’re partly to blame, you know? Every time you’d say that if my legs healed, you’d leave. How was I supposed to let that happen? Now that you’re my wife, you can’t leave. I was planning to tell you soon. Can you forgive me?”

Natalia ignored him, closing her eyes and refusing to look at him. Her face was devoid of any color. He reached out, his large hand brushing against her cold forehead

He was shocked, why was she so cold? Magnus quickly called a doctor and informed Lexi, who was the only other person who genuinely cared for Natalia

Lexi listened carefully, not daring to interrupt or argue. She found it peculiar that she was so afraid, especially since Magnus didn’t blame her or lose his temper

She nodded in agreement and went in to care for Natalia. Poor Natalia, she thought She was such a timid girl. How did she endure this for so long? Lexi mused silently. Magnus was so heartless, lying to Natalia about his legs. In reality, he could’ve stood on his own long ago.

Lexi entered the room to find Natalia lying in her hospital bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

“Natalia, you’re awake!” Lexi exclaimed excitedly.

“Ah, it’s you,” When Natalia noticed it was Lexi who came in, she actually felt a pang of disappointment.

He didn’t want to explain himself anymore. Of course, to him, she wasn’t important. He had lied to her for so long. As she thought about it, Natalia forced
