Chapter 244
Chad and Catlin were locked in a heated argument at Mount Spring.
Catlin remained deeply worried about Olivia in the hospital-she was anxious to return as soon as possible.
But right now, the Hart Group's crisis could only be resolved through Stephanie.
And they couldn't even get a meeting with her.
Chad blamed everything on Catlin, making it impossible for her to leave for the hospital.
| AM.
Neither of them had slept, both preoccupied with how to secure a meeting with Stephanie the next day.
The phone vibrated with a persistent buzz. It was a call from the hospital caretaker.
“What's wrong?”
“Mrs. Hart, Miss Hart's medical team... they all left!”
The caretaker’s voice was filled with anxiety.
Catlin’s breath hitched. “What?”
She instinctively glanced at Chad.
Chad looked exhausted and irritable. Was this... him?
Her breathing grew uneven.

Before she could question Chad, the caretaker continued, “Miss Hart is in severe pain. | went to get her some
painkillers, but the professors who used to stay overnight... they're all gone.”
Catlin’s face turned ashen.
“What's going on?”
All gone?
What did that mean?
She had poured a fortune into this hospital, and this was how they repaid her?
The caretaker hesitated before adding, “And the nurse station said... you need to cin the morning to process
Miss Hart's discharge.”
Discharge? No, the nurse’s tone-It was no different from being kicked out!
“They want her discharged? What the hell is this supposed to mean?”
Catlin’s vision darkened, her chest tightening with fury.
The caretaker continued explaining the situation, but all Catlin could gather was that Olivia's condition was
deteriorating, and the hospital's attitude had turned ice-cold.
They wanted her out.

She hung up.
Then, she turned to Chad with a sharp glare. “You did this, didn’t you?”
“What?”
Chad's face darkened, his tone laced with impatience. He clearly had no idea what she was referring to.
“For the sake of Stephanie, you abandoned Olivia, didn’t you? She's still sick, yet you pulled her medical team
and had her discharged? Are you trying to kill her?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatlin’s voice trembled with fury. The more she spoke, the harsher her tone became.
Chad looked completely lost. “What are you saying?”
His reaction-he truly didn’t know,
Catlin’s breath stilled. “You don’t know about it?”
“I've been with you the entire time. How the hell would | know?”
Catlin froze.
Her entire body went rigid.
That's right. She had always been with Chad, and he had never arranged for anyone under him to do such
things.
Besides, he didn’t have the capability to do so.
“Could it be the Ashford?”
The Ashford family.
Thinking about Grace's current attitude toward Olivia, Catlin felt that it was a possibility.
After all, the Ashford family was absolutely capable of such things.
At this thought, Catlin’s breath hitched. “That Grace... she’s a lunatic.”
In a panic, she rushed to find Chris.
Chris wasn't asleep either.
With the complicated relationship between Stefi and Sebastian weighing on his mind, he was already
overwhelmed.
When Catlin found him and explained everything, his expression stiffened. “The medical team has withdrawn?”
“Yes! How could your mother do this? Olivia is seriously ill right now! Is she trying to let Olivia die?”
Hearing that Olivia's team of specialists had all been dismissed and that the hospital had even demanded she be
discharged first thing in the morning, a flash of anger surged through Chris's eyes.
He immediately called Grace.
But it seemed she had already gone to bed, with her phone on silent.
He tried twice and still couldn't get through. Finally, he resorted to calling the house's landline.

When a servant answered and heard that Chris wanted Grace to be woken up, they hesitated. “Mr. Ashford, it's
quite late.... Madam-
“Go wake her up.”
Chris's cold voice cut the servant off, his tone laced with icy sharpness.
The servant had no choice but to relent. “Alright, I'll go now.
They feared being scolded by Grace for waking her but were even more afraid of angering Chris.
About ten minutes later-
Grace's irritated voice cthrough. “Chris, are you out of your mind?!"
