Portia was on the verge of tears, her emotions swinging wildly between cursing out Uriah and begging him to save Mavis Shepherd. “If anything happens to Mavis, you’ll answer to both of us!” she shouted, voice trembling.
Calliope, by contrast, kept her cool. She listened intently, fired off the urgent questions, and instructed Uriah in a steady tone. “Do not let Mavis out of your sight. Whatever it takes, keep her alive until I get there.”
She had pieced together Mavis’s condition from what little she’d heard, but it wasn’t enough; she couldn’t confirm anything from a distance. And even if they went forward, the surgery she was contemplating would be risky—almost impossibly so. Calliope knew: this was a procedure only she could handle.
If Uriah’s doctors had any idea what they were doing, he wouldn’t have sounded so broken on the phone. She understood what that meant.
“How soon can you get here?” Uriah asked, his composure barely holding on at the other end of the line.
“I’m not sure yet, but I’ll make it as quickly as possible,” Calliope replied, her voice like frost. “Just follow every instruction I give you. Mavis must still be breathing by the time I arrive.”
As long as Mavis still had a pulse, there was hope. But if she lost that, nothing—no skill, no miracle—would bring her back.
The crisis brought out a sharp, icy focus in Calliope. The moment she hung up on Uriah, she began dialing others—making arrangements, issuing quick, efficient orders. It was a flurry of calls, one after another, until finally she set her phone aside.
Portia, still sobbing, watched as Calliope swept through the room, methodically packing her bag. Only when Calliope was nearly finished did Portia realize, “Callie, what do we do now? Are you going to Mavis? Let me come with you!”

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......
