Calliope shook her head, her voice soft. “I don’t think I can save him.”
Her chest ached. She couldn’t help but think of her grandpa. She knew all too well what that felt like. Helpless, hopeless...
She had saved so many people in her career, but when it came to the person she loved most—her grandpa—she had been powerless. That pain was sharper than any wound.
Sometimes, it felt like all those years in med school, all those long nights at the hospital, had been for nothing. What use was being called a miracle doctor, if she couldn’t even save her own family? The title felt more like a cruel joke than an honor.
And now, it was all happening again.
The knot in her stomach tightened. She still couldn’t do anything. She felt useless.
“If only I could cure cancer,” she thought. “If only I could help Hudson. Wouldn’t that be something?”
“It’s not your fault,” Silas said gently, wrapping her in a hug. “Callie, you’ve done all you can. Some things… they’re just out of our hands. Everyone’s got their own time, their own story. You can’t change fate, no matter how hard you try.”
“You’ve done more than enough, haven’t you?” he continued. “You always do your best. Let go, and let God, right? I think your grandpa and your friends—they’d understand. I know they would.”
Silas’s words settled over Calliope like a warm blanket. She looked up at him, her eyes stinging, her nose prickling. She met his gaze, and in that moment, her heart felt a little lighter.
Back when her grandpa passed, no one had been there to comfort her. She’d carried the weight of guilt, alone. But now, with Silas by her side, it was… easier.
“I know,” she whispered. “But I still have to try.”

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 !!!...
