“There are always risks with surgery. I’ve made that crystal clear from the start,” Calliope said, her tone matter-of-fact.
“Hold on. You’ll all need to sign the consent forms. If you aren’t okay with the risks, you don’t have to sign. No one’s forcing you into this. I’ve laid out the options. Whether you choose me or not, that’s up to you.”
She shrugged. “If you don’t trust me, and you’d rather find another doctor, that’s your call too.”
Calliope’s words were blunt and straightforward, without a hint of defensiveness. She’d already explained every possible risk. Whether they wanted to go through with the surgery or not, it was completely their decision.
Zelda’s cheeks flushed red, her frustration obvious. “Is that really your attitude?”
She felt like Calliope was being way too cold. This was how she spoke to the whole family, and to Horatio too. How were they supposed to trust her with Horatio’s surgery? What if she just didn’t care and botched it on purpose?
But the truth was, they didn’t have any other options. Calliope was their only hope. If they lost her, no one else would be able to save Horatio.
So they weren’t about to let her walk away. But that didn’t mean they didn’t have their doubts.
“Callie, you’re making us nervous here,” Lisette said, her face creased with worry.
Calliope just looked at her, unbothered. “If you’re that worried, I can just walk out. Maybe you should do the surgery, since you seem to know everything.”
She started to turn, making it clear she was ready to leave. That made the whole family panic.
Horatio spoke up, voice steady. “Callie, I trust you. I know every surgery comes with risks, and I’m willing to accept them.”

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......
