After watching Calliope in surgery for a while, the hospital director was genuinely blown away by her skillful hands. He lingered by the operating room, unable to help himself. He knew the Jewell family didn’t exactly treat Calliope well, but seeing her step up to operate on Horatio, he figured maybe she and the family had patched things up. So, out of respect for her, he decided to check in on the Jewells.
“Mr. Jewell, Mrs. Jewell,” he greeted them, his voice polite and measured. “I’m the director here.”
Monty immediately jumped to his feet. “Oh, Director! Hello, hello!”
Zelda shot the director a sharp look, her tone suspicious. “So you’re the one in charge? What’s going on with the surgery? They’ve been in there forever. Why is it taking so long?”
“If you’re the director, you must know what’s happening, right?” she pressed, arms crossed. “Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son, your hospital won’t hear the end of it. I’ll make sure you pay, you understand? So you better make sure Calliope does her job right!”
Then, as if a new thought struck her, Zelda’s eyes narrowed. “Why are you even here, anyway? Don’t tell me the surgery failed! Did that damn Calliope send you because she doesn’t have the guts to face us herself?”
“Where’s Horatio? Is he okay?!” Zelda’s voice rose, teetering on the edge of hysteria.
The director stared at Zelda in disbelief, at a loss for words. She was acting like a complete shrew. He hadn’t even said anything yet and she was already threatening lawsuits.
He’d come over to compliment Calliope, to praise the Jewells for raising such a talented daughter. But all Zelda’s words made it clear: she had zero faith in Calliope, as if she was just waiting for her to screw up and for something to go wrong with Horatio.

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......
