Chapter 292 The Origin
Most of Maggie’s injuries were superficial, with the most severe occurring when she fell from a height, but Nathael had shielded her well.
Thus, despite their scary appearance, the injuries weren’t grave.
Once her wounds were tended to, Mia and Joyce assisted her in freshening up and changing into new clothes before she headed back to the operating room.
Ericko had been waiting nearby, accompanied by another man.
Jimmy lounged casually against a wall in the corridor, exuding an air of fatigue with his arms crossed over
his chest.
He had striking features, and his attractive face possessed a mix of charm and fierceness. He gave off a sense of intrigue and sophistication, which was captivating.
Upon hearing Maggie’s approach, Jimmy glanced up, and his eyes met the figure next to her, freezing in an instant.
The woman had a naturally beautiful face with a gentle complexion. Her eyes were cold yet clear. Her nose straight, and she exuded a distant yet gentle aura.
Joyce glanced up at his gaze, and their eyes locked for a moment, leaving them both momentarily
stunned.
Joyce’s throat tightened, caught off guard by their unexpected encounter.
Quickly, she averted her gaze, concealing any additional emotions.
Jimmy chuckled. His eyes glinted with mischief, giving him a charming appearance, but there was a hint of malice beneath the surface.
Joyce guided Maggie towards the operating room, passing Jimmy. Suddenly, she stumbled, as if something had tripped her.
Jimmy reached out and caught her wrist, pulling her towards him.
“Ms. Sanders, it’s been a while,” he whispered coldly in her ear.
The familiar yet unfamiliar voice momentarily stunned Joyce, sending a chill down her spine.
Looking up at his handsome face, she spoke slowly, “Mr. Hansen, you can let go now. Thank you.
His grip on her wrist was strong; his knuckles turned pale while redness spread to its surroundings, mirroring the state of Joyce’s wrist.
Jimmy sneered, his gaze darkening as he whispered, “Didn’t I tell you never to appear in front of me again?”
The surgery dragged on, and past midnight, Maggie felt disoriented.

Chapter 292 The Origin
Today was Nathael’s birthday, but they ended up spending it in the hospital.
She had brainstormed countless surprises for him, but plans changed unexpectedly.
Many things proved unpredictable.
Taking out the brooch, Maggie opened the box with one hand and leaned against the wall, gazing blankly
at it.
Ericko had brought warm congee for her and sat beside her, speaking softly, “You should eat something.”
“But I don’t have an appetite.” Maggie replied softly without even lifting her eyes.
Ericko gently held her hand and suggested, “Why not head home directly? I’m anxious every time you’re at the Camerons, I worry about your safety constantly.”
Turning to look at him, Maggie’s pale face showed little colour.
Seeing the concern in his eyes, Maggie smiled faintly.
