Under Chloe's watchful gaze, Lily Taylor, even with her excellent medical skills, could not offer any explanation.
In the long silence, Lily only felt embarrassment.
And it was the humiliation given to her by the Stephens family's idiotic young miss, which hurt more than having her face slapped.
As a genius physician and the pride of the Taylor family, Lily had never suffered such treatment, and she was extremely annoyed at the moment.
"Miss Stephens," Owen Taylor spoke up for his granddaughter, "you shouldn't interfere in the matters of adults."
Chloe turned her body, crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and looked indifferently at Owen Taylor.
Her indifference made people feel very uncomfortable.
"To my knowledge, without the family's consent, no institution or individual is allowed to study a person privately, let alone a living one."
"Chloe, we have the power to make this decision."
Being restricted in the county town hospital, if word got out, people would think the Taylor family had indeed declined.
Lily Taylor had a very ugly expression.
She couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore, showing her most aggressive side.
"Decide on my Grandfather's body?"
Chloe had a cold, sarcastic tone.
Lily was taken aback, "Miss Stephens, we are not studying your grandfather's body, but..."
"You are taking away his rights."
"We are doing what we should be doing."
"We refuse."
After Chloe coldly threw out these words, she stopped speaking.
"Miss Stephens, you..."
"Lily," Owen Taylor stopped her, "since Miss Stephens is unwilling, we don't have to bear any consequences if any special circumstances arise in the future."
Chloe thought there was something wrong with the minds of this old man and his granddaughter).
From the beginning to the end, the Foster Family had never said they wanted them to take responsibility.
"Although Elder Foster's condition has improved, no one can guarantee that he won't have a sudden serious illness in the future. I hope that by then, both Miss Stephens and Madam Stephens will remember what they are saying now."
Lily Taylor's attitude was still arrogant.
Yvette Foster said, "Thanks for your efforts, Second Grandfather Taylor and Miss Taylor."
Lily Taylor glanced at Chloe and left the ward with Owen Taylor.

When they got in the car.
Lily Taylor didn't hide her disgust for Chloe anymore, "Second Grandfather, what should we do now?"
"We will find another opportunity."
"Could that person have something to do with the Foster family?"
Without finding the person, how could she learn this craft?
Because many things were lost, the Taylor family loved to explore various places in order to find some difficult cases to study and enhance their abilities.
"It shouldn't be possible for the Foster family. I heard that Madame Stephens was forced out of the Stephens family. The rightful heir of the Stephens family can't have a mental problem, so they immediately adopted a son from the main family and raised him as the heir after confirming that Chloe couldn't be cured. As for Madame Stephens and Miss Stephens, they have long been abandoned, and the Stephens family would never grant them the privilege again."
Even when Yvette was in the Stephens family, she had no say at all.
If it weren't for Chloe's father's strong protection, this mother and daughter would have lived a much more miserable life.
"Perhaps it really is a coincidence. A completely discarded piece, her life thoroughly ruined."
Owen Taylor said, "We have already arranged for people to lurk within the hospital. As soon as that person is discovered, we will be immediately informed."
Lily Taylor nodded, "That's all we can do for now."

In the ward.
Yvette Foster suppressed a sour taste in her heart, "Chloe, go home tonight, and I'll stay here by myself. If you don't want to go to school, just ask Miss Hunter for a leave."
After what happened, it should be easy to ask for leave.
"No need, I'll go directly."
Until evening, no one from the Foster family came to visit.
Chloe bought dinner for Yvette before leaving.
Since they refused the "study," the hospital immediately arranged Fred Foster to a regular ward with three beds.
It became more troublesome for Yvette to guard the bed.
As Chloe entered, the second floor had the sound of rapid running footsteps, and it was Xavier who came out with an angry face.
He reached out to push her again.
"Bang!"
Chloe grabbed his neck with one hand.
Suddenly pushed him against the wall behind the table.
The table collapsed with a sound.
Megan Gibson and Yvonne Sullivan hurried out of the kitchen when they heard the noise.
Seeing this scene, they were so scared that their souls almost flew out.
"Xavier!"
"Little Xavier!"
Megan Gibson reacted and grabbed the broom to sweep towards Chloe Stephens, yelling: "What are you doing? Hurry up and let Xavier go."
Fred Foster was on the first floor of the dining room processing some documents.
Before he could react, his son was picked up and thrown towards the wall.
"Ugh…"
Xavier Foster's face turned red with suffocation.
"Crack!"
Two chairs were placed in front of Megan and Yvonne Sullivan, blocking their way.
Chloe threw Xavier towards the wooden table.
"Crash!"
The simple wooden table shattered.
Xavier's face twisted in pain, unable to make a sound.
"Xavier, granny's good Xavier!" Megan went around the chairs and helped Xavier up.
Fred Foster also frowned and came over to check on his son.
Chloe stood there indifferently, watching them casually.
"Ouch… It hurts… Mom, Granny, I'm in so much pain…" Xavier cried out, tears streaming down his face, and kept yelling.
"Chloe," Yvonne Sullivan seldom got angry, but seeing her son in this state, she suddenly stood up and raised her hand to slap Chloe.
Chloe grabbed her wrist and pushed her away.
Yvonne almost hit the wall.
"At your age, a hundred years ago, you could have gone to the battlefield and gone to sea for business."
Chloe looked at Xavier as if looking at a naive child, her mocking eyes provoking Xavier's anger.
"You wicked thing, look what you've done to Xavier, I'll beat you to death today."
Megan raised the broom to hit Chloe again.
Chloe grabbed the broom and swung it towards the door frame, making a snapping sound as the broom broke in half.
"In consideration of your old age, I can let it pass," Chloe's cold gaze swept over Megan, "In three days, something will happen to you."
Megan's face changed dramatically, "You dare curse me."
"To deal with an ordinary person, I don't need to cast a curse."
Megan was so angry that her blood pressure rose, pointing at Chloe and trembling, unable to speak.
After taking a few breaths, Megan angrily pointed outside, "Get out, get out and never come back to this family."
Chloe glanced at Fred Foster and said to Megan, "We will leave."
With that, she went straight upstairs.
Hans Foster and Lindsay Foster, who were standing by the second-floor stairs, stepped aside.
Their eyes stared unblinkingly at Chloe.
Lindsay whispered in Hans's ear, "Cousin is so handsome."
Hans quickly covered her mouth.
Behind them, Megan's angry scolding continued.
In a while, Chloe came downstairs with her belongings.
Seeing Chloe holding the backpack and a bag of clothes, Megan's face changed again, "Get out, never come back once you leave."
Although Fred Foster did admit that Xavier was in the wrong at the hospital, he hadn't done anything to Chloe. Now that Chloe had beaten his son like this, it seemed that she was not only sick but also crazy.
"The money for Grandfather's surgery was sent by the Stephens Family. Can you feel at ease using this money? Also, a woman had to run around the hospital, taking care of things as a family member, and you didn't even bother to say hello. Is this how you treat people as a son or daughter?"
After speaking these indifferent words, Chloe left with her clothes and backpack.
Fred Foster's face burned.
Chloe's words were like a slap on his face.
Megan continued to curse Chloe behind her.

Upon leaving the Foster Family, Chloe stood at the corner of the street and stopped.
She turned her head to look at the car that was retreating from around the corner.
Someone was watching the Foster family.
Chloe, with the belongings in her hand, suddenly leaped up, her hands propped on the wall, and the person followed suit, disappearing into the night.
The car came out again, and a well-dressed man got out, walked a short distance, and couldn't find Chloe.
Then he got back in the car.
He said to the young man sitting behind him, "Young Master Filbert, the person has been lost."
The young man frowned.
The well-dressed man asked, "Do you want to continue following her?"
The young man spoke, his voice like a zither, "Let's go back, I have an early class tomorrow."
