EuropeNovelChapter 184 Just as the two kidnappers lunged forward, they were suddenly kicked hard from behind.
Standing above them, Magnus glared down, his face dark with fury. He ground out, "Touch her, and you'll regret it." With that, all the rage he'd been bottling up exploded. He charged forward and started beating the kidnappers mercilessly.
One of them was pummeled to the ground, barely able to move.
The other tried to seize Isadora in the chaos, desperate to grab her as a shield.
But Magnus was faster. He tackled the man, pinning him down, and shouted, "Isadora, run! Get out of here!" Isadora didn't hesitate. She turned and sprinted away.
But as she ran toward the edge of the cliff, panic clouded her judgment. Her footing slipped, and suddenly she tumbled over the side.
Magnus saw her fall. He tore away from the kidnappers and raced after her, desperate to catch her before it was too late.
But before he could reach her, one of the kidnappers, wielding a wooden club, brought it crashing down on Magnus with brutal force.

Isadora slowly opened her eyes, lying on a hospital bed.
Eleanor stood at her side, dabbing tears from her eyes with a silk handkerchief. "Isadora, sweetheart, how are you feeling? You nearly scaredto death." Isadora's voice was hoarse. "Where... am I?" "You were kidnapped, darling. You fell off a cliff. Magnus was hurt trying to save you, but thank God the security team arrived in tto rescue you both." Fragments of memory returned to Isadora-the last thing she remembered was Magnus grabbing for her and then a kidnapper smashing him with a wooden plank.
Laura gently propped Isadora up.
"Miss, you've been unconscious for a whole day. Madam's been worried sick. Here, have ssoup first." Isadora's entire body ached as if she'd been pulled apart.
Eleanor, still sniffling, tried to feed her.
Isadora pressed her lips together, eyeing the spoon.
"Let the staff do it, Mom. You should go rest." Eleanor's eyes were rimmed red. She wanted to stay, but worried Isadora would find her hovering annoying.
In the end, she left Laura behind to watch over her.
Two days later.
There was a knock at the door.
A nurse wheeled Magnus into the room.
Isadora looked up, her expression cool, and saw him-pale and exhausted, one arm in a sling across his chest, his leg swathed in bandages, several cuts marring his face.
Magnus nodded to the nurse, who quietly left them alone.
"Isadora, are you... okay?" He'd been desperate to see her the moment he woke up, but with multiple fractures he couldn't even move. The second he was able to sit up, he came.
Isadora's tone was flat. "Thanks to you, I'm not dead." Magnus managed a faint smile at her sarcasm, but the effort made him wince. The pain from his wounds twisted his face.
Isadora closed the sketchbook she'd been holding.
"This is the second tI've been kidnapped because of you. I don't feel guilty, so just leave." Magnus frowned, misunderstanding. He thought she was blaming him for not choosing her at the crucial moment.

His voice was strained. "I never meant to leave you behind didn't choose Elise over you on purpose."
Isadora's lips curled in a cold, brittle smile. "You just slept with Elise,m slept right?" Magnus froze, her words catching him entirely off guard. His eyes darkened. "I'm sorry, I-" "You don't need to apologize. Who you're with is none of my business."
She paused, her gaze sharp. "But doa favor-keep your crazy woman under control.
into hermes olet her dragShe was in on this kidnapping." Magnus's jaw clenched, his disbelief written all over his face. "Elise would never do something like that..." "Believe what you want." Isadora cut him off, her tone icy.
"Please show Mr. Wainwright out. I need to rest." Magnus looked at her for a long moment before slowly wheeling himself toward the door and leaving.
Whether Elise was involved or not, he needed to find out the truth for himself.
A little while later, the door opened again.
Isadora frowned, thinking Magnus had cback to pester her.
"What are you doing here again?" She glanced up and saw a tall man standing in the doorway, his presence looming.
