Chapter 371 Should I Help You Get Revenge on the Camerons?
Maggie was somewhat dazed when she heard this.
A new toxin?
Her heart sank bit by bit. She hadn't expected that someone like her, on the verge of death, was still worth being schemed against by Ronald.
"This new toxin isn't actually lethal. Normally, even if you're poisoned, it doesn't have a significant effect-just some mild vomiting and dizziness, and your body tends to tire more easily, much like with some chronic diseases."
"But this toxin complements Dream Venom. It stimulates the Dream Venom to activate."
Maggie remained silent for a long while, meaning that someone knew about the Dream Venom in her body and had added a catalyst to this toxin.
"Actually, it doesn't need to be this complicated. In theory, just continuing with the Dream Venom for a while longer would accelerate the poisoning. But Dream Venom takes a long time to act, whereas this toxin works instantly," Iris slowly began.
She really couldn't figure out what kind of hatred would lead someone to poison this young woman years ago.
"The person who poisoned you must be well-versed in pharmacology because this toxin accelerates the reaction, so you have less than two years left. That's why I suggest you try to seek treatment."
Iris made a decisive décision..
Maggie didn't respond. She knew she had to seek treatment, but she hadn't expected her time to run out so quickly.

To some people, her life seemed to be just a number that could easily determine her fate.
Yet, she couldn't help but want to ask, why?
Maggie forced herself to pull her thoughts together, knowing that pondering these things was already pointless.
Since, whether treated or not, she only had about two years left, she naturally chose treatment. She was not ready to give up and die just like that.
"However, I must make it clear to Ms. Adam beforehand that the
treatment process is very painful and cannot guarantee success in the end. I can only try my best, but the outcome... might not be as hoped," Iris said slowly.
"Will the later toxin make the original Dream Venom worse?" Leo asked with a furrowed brow, speaking softly.
Seeing the man ask a critical question, Iris looked at him and replied, "No, that's actually the lucky part."
"If they kept adding Dream Venom, the toxins accumulating in the body would only increase, making hope even more elusive. But this toxin simply triggers the toxins already inside, making it the best time to start
treatment."
"Then let's go ahead with the treatment. What do I need to do to assist?" Maggie asked.
Iris replied, "Twice a week, you'll come to my place, or we can book another clinic where I'll administer the injections and medicated baths. On a daily basis, you'll take alternative medicine. I'll adjust the medications as needed based on your condition."
"Then I'm in Dr. Hudson's hands," Maggie said, sincerely thanking her.
Tris shook her head "But I still advise you not to be too optimistic You

might give up after just two or three sessions because the process is more painful than you can imagine, and the toxin activation will also cause you frequent severe pain all over."
In other words, the cost is too high, and you might end up gaining nothing after a lot of effort. Put simply, it would just be suffering for nothing.
That's why many people give up.
However, Iris wouldn't recommend giving up. At least it was worth a try.
"If you decide to proceed with the treatment, we can schedule appointments. I'll administer the injections every Monday and Thursday. I can give you the medicine to take home tonight. You'll take it once in the morning and once at night."
After giving these instructions, Iris left first, leaving her assistant to prepare the medicine.
Maggie and Leo waited for the medicine to be prepared. Their mood was far from cheerful.
After all, what they had thought would be six years had suddenly become just two, and now they faced intermittent, immense suffering. Just the thought of it made Maggie feel irritable.
"I'll leave the medicine with you for now. It won't be convenient to take it home. I'll find an excuse to come out and take it over the next few days."
Maggie said to Leo in a gentle voice.
The strong smell of the alternative medicine was hard to conceal, and if she took it back to Nathael's villa, it would surely be discovered.
Fortunately, it would only be a few days before she could focus on her
treatment.
But the thought of receiving injections made Maggie consider another
icce-len taking care of her would certainly be inconvenient
She feared she might have to tell Mia or Joyce.
Joyce, busy with her schedule and being a public figure, would likely find it difficult to take care of her.
After much consideration, Maggie felt she probably couldn't keep this from Mia.
Timmothy looked at Maggie as if watching a play. "Tsk, those Camerons are really vicious. But now, it seems uncertain which one of us will die first."
Maggie gave him a cold look and said, "Are you actually happy about this? If I die too soon, that brooch you've been eyeing might have to wait until we meet in the afterlife."
Timmothy, unconcerned, suddenly flashed a mischievous smile. His interest piqued. "How about I help you get revenge on the Camerons?"
Maggie squinted her eyes. "Are you really that kind-hearted?"
Timmothy scoffed, "How can this be considered kind-hearted? Ms. Adam calling harmful acts kind-hearted really baffles me."
And to tell the truth, his words stirred something in Maggie.
After all, she knew without thinking who was responsible for harming her.
→W,
w, everything seemed to fall into place. No wonder Ronald's gaze had been so complex and profound when she caught him looking at her. Not wonder he had tested her repeatedly. And no wonder he always seemed so sure of himself, as if she could never escape his grasp.
She had always thought he relied solely on Dream Venom, but to think he had poisoned her again to accelerate the toxin's effects, ensuring she wouldn't live another two years.
Maggie's gaze darkened as she realised that Ronald had schemed against
her once more before her death

She couldn't help but look at Timmothy, unable to deny that his proposal was tempting.
"What's the condition?" she asked in a calm voice.
Timmothy chuckled. "Cook for me for a month."
His remark made Maggie laugh in exasperation. "Are you out of your mind? I'm a dying patient, and you want me to cook for you? Aren't you afraid I might poison you?"
Timmothy furrowed his brow, pondering for a moment, perhaps realising that her frail body might not withstand that kind of suffering. He quickly said, "Alright, then design a suit for me instead." Maggie was furious enough to curse. "I'm a jewellery designer, not a fashion designer!"
Mia had studied fashion design, but she couldn't possibly push her into that firepit, especially not knowing what sort of bizarre tastes Timmothy might have.
Maggie took a deep breath and spoke more gently, "I'll design a men's bracelet for you instead."
Maggie eyed Timmothy, already forming some ideas in her mind.
A daily wear piece, simple, and easier than a brooch.
"Deal," Timmothy nodded, then quickly added, "I want a unique design."
"I know," Maggie responded nonchalantly, then her interest piqued. "What do you plan to do about the Camerons?"
