Chapter 370 Final Deadline.
Maggie wasted no time and followed Iris to a corner in the middle of the building where the pulse- checking station was set up.
Iris sat opposite her, and Maggie offered her wrist for Iris to check her pulse.
The room suddenly grew quiet; even the sounds of the wind and snow outside farled away, leaving only a faint warmth.
Iris took her time checking Maggie’s pulse while frowning in thought.
After a while, she stood up and said, “We’ll need to draw some more blood for additional tests; we won’t have results anytime soon.
“Alright. Maggie agreed without objection.
Before long, a young apprentice–like person guided Maggie to another room. Maggie bared her arm and turned her head away, unable to watch the blood–drawing process.
She could handle the pain, but witnessing it made her heart ache.
Though she didn’t look, Maggie could still hear the tubes being filled with blood until about six or seven were taken for testing. When the needle was finally removed, she let out a sigh of relief.
Turning her head, she noticed a large bruise on her arm.
Maggie was speechless at the sight.
She glanced at the apprentice–like girl, who shrunk back and said, “Your skin is too delicate, and the blood draw took too long, so…
Maggie couldn’t help but feel a headache. How would she hide this when she got back? One slip–up, and Nathael would find out.
Meanwhile, Iris was making her medical records. Seeing that the blood was drawn, she said, “We need to take a few images; follow me.”
Maggie followed her inside and saw that, despite the clinic’s small size, it had all the necessary equipment.
At least all the essential tests could be done.
After all the tests, it was already noon, and Iris said, “Some of the blood test results are ready, but we’ll have to wait for the rest. You can have your lunch first.”
At her words, Maggie felt a bit hungry.
Perhaps it was due to losing too thuch blood; she actually felt a bit dizzy.
“I’ve booked a nearby restaurant. Let’s go. Leo offered his support and said gently.
“Okay.”
“I’ll come with you. I came here and accompanied you for so long; it wouldn’t be right not to buy me

Maggie felt his audacity exceeded even Nathael’s.
“I think you’re just here for the show, you just want to watch how I’ll meet my end” Maggie jabbed, but when she noticed Timmothy and Samuel following along, she didn’t stop them.
She glanced at Timothy’s legs and noted that his injury had healed quickly.
It wasn’t surprising. With the Hudsons‘ medical background and someone like Samuel around, Timmothy
suffered a lot less.
“You’re quite cunning. I thought you were a good person at first, but I was wrong… “Timmothy said softly.
Maggie chuckled. “Can being a good person pay the bills? Or grant me two more years of life? Why don’t you try being a good person?”
Timmothy smiled and said nothing, then leisurely got into another car.
The restaurant Mia chose wasn’t far, but despite its proximity, it matched her usual grand and luxurious style.
“Where’d you and Leo go? How’d you end up in this neighbourhood?” Mia had already sorted out the food and glanced at the group as they approached, spotting an unfamiliar guy tagging along.
“Who’s that?” Mia inquired with interest, giving him a quick once–over.
