Right at that moment, Horatio was wheeled out of surgery.
The operation had gone well.He was awake now, but still numb from the waist down.
“Horatio, how are you feeling? Are you okay?”
Zelda rushed over, worry and tenderness drawn all over her face.
“I’m fine, just… can’t feel much yet,” Horatio answered, his voice a little weak.
Monty chimed in, “What do you expect? He just got out of surgery, the anesthesia hasn’t even worn off yet. Alright, enough talking. Horatio needs rest. Let’s give him some space, alright?”
At Monty’s words, Zelda reluctantly stepped back, still keeping her eyes locked on Horatio, completely ignoring Calliope’s presence.
Monty, Zelda, and the rest of the family followed as Horatio was taken to his hospital room.
Meanwhile, Calliope slipped away to change out of her scrubs. A few doctors caught up with her, brimming with excitement and admiration.
“Dr. Miracle, that was incredible! I’ve never seen anyone operate like that.”
“Absolutely, I learned so much today. Being part of that surgery was totally worth it!”
“I mean, you’re so young, but your hands were steady as a rock!”
“Respect, Dr. Miracle!”
“For real, how are you so good, especially at your age? I can barely hold a scalpel without shaking!”
Calliope grinned, trying to play it cool. “It’s just practice. Do it enough times and your hands stop shaking. That’s all.”
“Come on, you’re way too humble,” one of them laughed.
“Yeah, seriously, way too modest.”
She glanced at Horatio, then at the rest of the family.
“You might want to write this down,” she suggested.
She knew full well none of them were used to caring for people, and if they forgot or messed something up, they’d probably blame her down the line. Better safe than sorry.
Calliope ran through the key points: what foods to make—like chicken soup and mashed potatoes, easy on the stomach, nothing too greasy—and how to help him move or change position in bed to prevent sores. She covered medication schedules, signs to watch for, all the basics.
After she finished, she turned to leave.
But Zelda suddenly darted forward and grabbed her arm.
“What are you doing?” Calliope frowned, annoyed.
“You’re just going to walk out? Your own brother is in this state, and you’re not even going to stay and help take care of him? How can you be so heartless?” Zelda’s face twisted with anger.

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......
