After setting up everything, the doctor glanced at Lily. However, it was only brief, without speaking. His gaze seemed to signal her over, but she stayed still since he said nothing. Lily wanted to see what they were up to.
"Ms. Christian, please come and have a seat here," one guard said.
Lily glanced at him and asked, "What will you do?"
"Please don't be nervous. It's just a routine health check-up for you," the person replied.
Lily squinted, sensing it would not be anything good. She directly refused, "My health is fine. I don't need any check-ups!"
‘Why would they suddenly want to examine me? Who knows what their intentions are?”
"Ms. Christian, this is for your benefit. If you don't consider yourself, at least think about your unborn child," the person continued, "Please rest assured. It's a typical health check-up, nothing more.
“However, if you continue being stubborn, we must take extreme measures. At that point, we can't guarantee you won't get hurt."
There was an evident threat in the guard’s words. Lily thought for a moment while looking at the numerous people around her. Even if she fought back, she would not necessarily win and would gain nothing from it.
‘Can I escape from this place if I somehow manage to take everyone down? Unlikely!’
After considering her options, she walked over and sat at the table.
One of the nurses said, "Please roll up your sleeve and expose your arm. We need to draw blood for the examination.”
Lily squinted and asked, "Draw blood?"
"Now that you're in the late stages of pregnancy, your due date is approaching. So, it's necessary to conduct a check-up for your well-being," the doctor said softly, lowering his gaze.
