Calliope sat across from the doctor, both of them lost in troubled thought.
Cases like Hudson’s—they’d seen them before. But ones as tangled and complicated as his? Those were rare.
“I’ll reach out to a few colleagues, see if anyone has fresh ideas,” the doctor said, though his voice lacked conviction. “We already tried a panel consultation. Everyone came to the same conclusion.”
“And now things have gotten even messier,” he sighed, glancing through the glass at Hudson’s unmoving form.
The truth hung heavy between them: for patients like Hudson, there was little left to do. The doctor knew it.
Calliope knew it. It was as if a judge had already passed the sentence—they just hadn’t delivered the news.
Still, there was one last card to play: Calliope. She was known throughout the hospital as the Miracle Doctor. Her reputation was almost legendary. If anyone could do something about this, it was her.
But looking at Calliope now, the doctor saw even she was stumped. Miracle Doctor or not, she was only human. She wasn’t some kind of saint or angel who could bring people back from the dead with a touch. Her miracles came from medicine, not magic.
“I’ll call some experts I know, see if anyone’s had success with cases like this,” Calliope said, her eyes never leaving Hudson.
The doctor nodded. He managed a strained smile. “That’s all we can do. I know this is a lot of pressure. But all we can do is our best. Sometimes… sometimes there’s just nothing more we can do. If that’s the case, at least let’s make sure he’s comfortable. You know how it is with cancer patients at the end—it can be so cruel, so undignified.”
Calliope nodded. “Managing his pain—I can do that much.”
But stopping the tumor’s wild growth? That was beyond her reach.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
