Chapter 598
“I won’t allow that!” Magnus instantly refused, “As Claudette’s knight, I have to
always protect her and watch her come back to life.”
His hands slowly balling into fists, Emmanuel growled in a threatening tone, “If
you don’t cooperate, I can’t treat Claudette.”
And yet, Magnus refused to budge.
Emmanuel’s eyelids twitched and his expression quickly grew irked, but a
thought suddenly occurred to him–what if Magnus did not want Claudette to
survive?
After all, if he truly loved Claudette with all his heart, he would not choose to
hide while she fell into a coma, and he would not show up with his staff right
before New Year’s Day upon hearing that she had regained consciousness.
What exactly was his motive?
However, Emmanuel did not have the time nor the heart to make any
guesses. Even if Magnus was against it, he had to ensure Claudette’s survival.
Move aside!
Crudely pushing away the female nurse who had arrived with Magnus,
Emmanuel began to examine Claudette’s condition in front of the crowd. He
noticed that her complexion seemed much better than before, and as he
checked her pulse, his expression faltered. Claudette’s pulse was clearly
returning to normal with each day, and it had greatly improved since her
surgery. She had already gained consciousness that day, so why was she still
in a coma now?
“How is Claudette, Dr. Lowe?” With a gentle smile on his face, Magnus asked
politely, “Since you’ve always been her doctor, there is nobody who
understands her more than you.”
Not wanting to respond to Magnus, Emmanuel turned to Laura as she was
Claudette’s relative.
“Just tell us, Dr. Handsome, we came prepared!” she urged him with a
charming smile.
However, Emmanuel did not dare to reveal the truth. While Claudette’s
condition had not improved to the extent that she could leave her bed, she
was most likely awake. In other words, she was feigning unconsciousness.
“Mrs. Lenoir, I have to conduct a more detailed examination on Claudette,
and it’s inconvenient to have outsiders around. Please ask everyone to
O
leave!” Unable to drive Magnus out, Emmanuel turned to the only remaining
solution–relying on Laura for help.
A troubled look flashed past her eyes, but she quickly piled a charming smile
on her face and slowly walked toward Magnus. “Mr. Magnus, as it’s New Year’s
Eve tonight, I’d like to chat with your mother. Is that all right?”
Magnus paused for a moment, but as he looked at the seductive yet cunning
woman before him, he slowly nodded. “All right. In that case, I’ll contact her
immediately for you, Ms. Laura!”
“That’s great! I really am looking forward to getting closer to the almighty
Zelinsky family! Haha…” Laura fluttered her eyelashes flirtatiously at him.
Just as Emmanuel let out a breath of relief, thinking that he would finally have
some private time with Claudette, Magnus approached her bed and lowered
his body. Then, he took her small hands in his, gently caressing her silky locks
with the other.
“I’m waiting for you to wake up, my princess.”
The two made a heartwarming and touching sight, and everyone who
watched them believed that they were witnessing a love story between a
prince and a princess. At first, Emmanuel did not pay much heed to the pair
until he noticed that Claudette’s eyelashes were trembling. In an instant, a
burst of rage ignited within him.
Magnus was using his force whilst he gripped Claudette’s hand, as if he
wanted to splinter her frail bones into smithereens. What a despicable man!
He’s trying to use pain to force Claudette to wake up on her own!
“Get out now!”
Enraged, Emmanuel immediately threw a fist at Magnus. However, as if he
had predicted his next move, Magnus stepped aside, easily avoiding his
punch.
As expected of a master! Emmanuel gritted his teeth. Magnus is scarier than
imagined.
