“Do you know how many people would kill for this chance, but never get it? You’re about to witness a miracle.”
After a few good-natured jabs, the hospital director turned and walked off with Calliope.
Halfway down the corridor, Calliope ran into Yvette.
Yvette was carrying a lunchbox, and when she spotted Calliope, her eyes narrowed with a sly grin.
“Hey, Aunt Callie, what brings you to the hospital? Here to see Gideon?”
Yvette seemed to think for a moment, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
“Gideon’s just in this room. He’s been sulking, wants to apologize and everything. I’m sure he’d be thrilled to see you!”
Before Calliope could protest, Yvette grabbed her arm and dragged her toward Gideon’s room.
The director sighed. “Ah, never mind... I’ll head back, Calliope. You can make your own way when you’re done.”
“Thanks, I’ll be fine,” Calliope replied, giving him a quick nod.
The director walked off, a little disappointed. He’d hoped to squeeze in a chess game with her, but that clearly wasn’t happening now.
...
Inside Gideon’s hospital room.
Gideon lay sprawled on the bed, both legs propped up in thick casts. He looked surprisingly lively for someone with that many injuries.
The moment he heard the door, he started yelling.
He glared at her, but Yvette just shrugged and shoved the lunchbox into Calliope’s hands.
“Sorry, I need the bathroom. Could you hand this over for me?” Before anyone could argue, she darted away, clutching her stomach.
Calliope glanced at the lunchbox, filled with a couple of turkey sandwiches and some potato chips, then wrinkled her nose and set it down on Gideon’s side table.
Gideon tried again, his voice desperate. “Callie, I was wrong, okay? I’m sorry for everything. I never should’ve treated you that way! Honestly, it was all Yvette’s idea. She talked me into it!”
He babbled apologies, trying to shift the blame.
Meanwhile, just outside the door, Yvette had doubled back for a moment, snapping a few quick photos with her phone. She’d already managed to get several shots before sneaking off, grinning.
Calliope, sharp-eared as ever, caught the faint click of the camera, even if no one else would have noticed. She knew exactly what Yvette was up to.

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......
