“Lance, hey, calm down. I swear, I haven’t lied to you.” Hudson’s voice was gentle. “This isn’t what I wanted either, but…it’s just how things are. Maybe I was always living on borrowed time.”
“I mean, honestly, I’ve had a good run. Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me. Getting to really know you? Even better.”
“Lance, you’ve got to promise me something, okay? Even if I’m gone, you have to take care of yourself. And besides, I’m not dead yet, am I?”
He tried to grin, even though it didn’t look easy. “I’m right here in front of you. If there’s anything you want me to do, just say it. I’ll do it—whatever it is, I promise.”
Hudson gave Lance a crooked smile.
“And hey, when I’m gone, will you bring me some flowers every week? You know flowers are my favorites. It’d mean a lot if you could leave some flowers for me every Sunday.”
“But—if you meet someone new, someone you really love, then you don’t have to bring flowers anymore, alright?”
Lance clamped his hands over his ears, shaking his head, refusing to listen.
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear it! If you die, I’m not bringing you any flowers. Not a single one!”
“And if you do die, I’m telling you right now, I’ll go out and find someone else right away. The kind of guy you absolutely can’t stand. I’ll date him just to spite you.”
“So you’d better not die! Otherwise, I’ll do all the stuff you hate, just to make you mad enough to climb out of your grave!”
Lance yelled, his voice raw and angry. He glared at Hudson, refusing to accept what was happening.
“You always said you hated it when I went out drinking, right? Well, watch this, I’m heading out to the bar, and I’m meeting up with those jerks you can’t stand. I won’t even come home tonight. I hope it drives you nuts!”
He spun around and stormed out.
Calliope frowned. She’d expected a strong reaction from Lance, but not quite this much. He just couldn’t process it yet. He hadn’t even stopped to think about how Hudson felt.
She glanced over at Hudson.

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......
