The day before Calliope was supposed to leave with the team, she heard the news—Mavis was awake.
The moment she found out, she headed straight for the hospital.
She arrived just as Portia did. The two women crossed paths at the main entrance, caught each other’s eye, and without a word, dashed together toward the elevators.
Inside the elevator, Portia glanced over. “Did Uriah call you?”
Calliope nodded. “He did, but he sounded… off. He was so hesitant, I couldn’t tell if something was actually wrong with Mavis.”
“Same here. He wouldn’t explain anything—just said we needed to get here right away,” Portia replied, frowning. “I kept asking how Mavis was, but he wouldn’t say. Just kept repeating that we’d understand when we saw her.”
The lack of answers set both of them on edge, worry gnawing at their hearts.
“She’ll be fine,” Calliope said, trying to calm herself as much as Portia. “Nothing was wrong with her physically before. If she’s awake now, that has to mean things are looking up.”
She managed a reassuring smile for Portia. “Don’t stress.”
“You’re right. As long as she’s physically okay, that’s what matters,” Portia said, nodding.
They hurried down the corridor to Mavis’s room, only to find Uriah standing by the door. He was tall, suited, imposing as ever—but the misery clouding his face was unmistakable.
He looked anything but relieved. The two women shot each other a worried glance.
“Mr. Stewart, what’s going on? Mavis is awake, isn’t she? Why are you standing out here?” Calliope asked as she strode toward him.
“Yeah, Mr. Stewart, why aren’t you inside?” Portia added.
Hadn’t he been desperately waiting for Mavis to wake up? Now the moment was here, and he was keeping his distance?

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......
