Nigel's men were already heaving his stretcher up into the ambulance.
Nigel’s injuries were dire; they doubted they could do much for him. If Calliope came, though, there was hope.
Meanwhile, the accusations Damien and Calliope had faced a moment ago suddenly made sense to the rest—Nigel’s men now realized the truth. Damien and Calliope had just saved their boss’s life.
“Let’s just leave him,” Damien snapped. “We pull a man back from the brink, and his people treat us like common thugs. Why should we keep helping?”
He turned to Calliope, irritation plain on his face. “Ma’am, let’s go. We’ve done our part just calling emergency services.”
Calliope had no intention of getting in the ambulance. She had meant to say Nigel was stable now, and the hospital would handle the rest. But before she could speak, Nigel’s men—without any warning—dropped to their knees all at once.
“We’re so sorry, Ms. Jewell—we misjudged you!” one stammered, his forehead pressed to the pavement.
“We apologize!”
“Please, could you spare just a little more time? Come with us—help Mr. Howell.”
“You’re a miracle worker! You wouldn’t stand by and let someone die, would you?”
“If you save him, Mr. Howell will be forever in your debt. Whatever you want, we’ll make it happen. Anything at all!”
“Please, we’re begging you!” Their pleas tumbled over one another, voices trembling with desperation.
One after another, they were bowing, and banging their heads on the ground so fervently it startled Calliope.

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......
