Chapter 264:
As she spoke, a sense of wariness took over, and she tugged at her mother, trying to pull her away.
Noticing their intent to leave, Khloe moved forward to stop them. Her face was solemn as she spoke earnestly.
“Please, just a moment. | realize what | said may have caught you off guard, but allowto explain. I'm working
on a new cosmetic solution aimed at restoring facial features naturally. It needs test subjects to assess its safety
and effectiveness, and it's not easy finding the right candidates.”
The girl hesitated, her eyes still filled with suspicion as she held tightly onto her mother’s arm.
Khloe pressed on. “I saw your circumstances and thought you could be an ideal candidate. But | must be honest,
there's no guarantee this procedure will work, and it carries significant risks, even the possibility of death.”
The mention of “death” caused the middle-aged woman to panic. She gripped her daughter's hand tightly,

daughter as a test subject. What's wrong with you?”
Khloe didn’t stop them from leaving. Instead, she stood still, watching the young girl closely. The girl, still being
pulled by her mother, paused for a moment before pulling her hand away and gazing at Khloe with quiet resolve.
“Mom, please stop pulling me.” Her voice was soft but firm with resolve. “I've made up my mind. | want to try
the solution. Living this way feels like I'm already dead inside. Every day is a battle with pain and hopelessness,
and | can’t even bring myself to step outside. If there’s even a sliver of hope this treatment can help me, I'm
willing to take any risk, no matter how great.”
The middle-aged woman, tears flowing freely, pleaded in a shaky voice, “You can’t make such an impulsive
decision. This is about your life. We need to find another solution.”
The girl shook her head firmly and said, “Mom, we're out of options. There's no other way left.”
She turned to Khloe, lifting her hair to reveal the disfigurement of her nose. “Even if it costsmy life, at least

“Yes, there is, but it's not a large amount.”
The girl's eyes flickered with brief hope at Khloe’s response, though it quickly faded. She let out a soft sigh. “The
amount doesn’t matter. As long as it gives my mom anda bit of hope.”
Noticing their agreement, Khloe seized the moment, instructing Gloria to stay with Charlotte while she headed
back to the lab.
As Khloe guided them into the lab, the mother and daughter were struck with awe at the scene before them. The
lab was expansive and well-lit, its walls gleaming white, and the metallic equipment shining with a sense of
cutting-edge technology. The advanced overhead lighting embedded in the ceiling cast a gentle, uniform glow,
highlighting even the tiniest details in every corner. At the heart of the lab stood a large, multifunctional medical
device made from high-strength alloy, its surface as smooth and reflective as a mirror. Nearby, an operating

Khloe poured each of them a cup of coffee, inviting them to sit as they discussed their situation.
“How did your nose get hurt, and where did it happen?” Khloe inquired, sensing there was more to the story.
The girl didn’t seem the type to care much about appearance, so why choose cosmetic surgery? Khloe suspected
there was more to the story, which prompted her to offer her help.
