A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 225 Lisette pushed Horatios wheelchair over to where Valerian was standing .

Valerian , how did Callie get in there ? Confusion was etched on her face .

What was Calliopes deal with Upton ? She couldnt actually come here for Upton , Lisette assumed .

They said shes Uptons guest , Horatio replied , still trying to wrap his head around it .

Calliope , a guest of Upton ? How ? Someone like Upton wasnt exactly the kind of person Calliope would have access to .

Unless … was this somehow connected to Silas ? It wasnt impossible .

Does that mean we cant go in ? Lisette asked , frowning .

Lets wait a bit , Valerian said .

Mr.

Thorne will have to come out sooner or later .

When he does , well get a chance to talk to him .

Lisette nodded .

That makes sense .

Dont worry , Horatio , Mr.

Thorne must know where the Miracle Doctor is .

If he came here , that probably means shes in Capitalton .

Your legs will be alright ! Okay , Horatio gave a small nod .

Meanwhile , inside the hospital room , as soon as Calliope stepped in , Baber came barreling toward her .

Mommy ! Youre finally here ! I missed you so much! Baber , look at you! Youve gotten even bigger ! And still as adorable as ever .

She tousled his hair and scooped him up into her arms .

At only four years old , Baber was the definition of cute rosy cheeks , and a face that looked like a mini version of Uptons .

But unlike Uptons cold and distant demeanor , Baber was all warmth and sunshine .

Thats just because you havent seen me in a long time , so you think Im taller ! Baber huffed , puffing out his little cheeks in mock annoyance .

You didnt miss me at all , did you ? way Of course I did ! Calliope tweaked his nose playfully .

Ive just been busy and Ive also been looking for a way to help you get better .

Really ? Baber tilted his head .

Yeah .

She set him down and walked over to the couch , her gaze landing on Upton , who had just finished leaving a voice message .

He lowered his phone and met her eyes .

You came .

I know you werent thrilled of using your medical skills anymore all these years .

But the doctors cant do anything for Baber .

Thats why I brought him to you .

Upton , his features strikingly charming yet cold , uttered as he gazed at Calliope , You once told me that if things got serious for Baber , I could come to you for help .

I know .

Calliope nodded .

Thats why I came as soon as I heard you were here .

She didnt waste any more time .

She sat Baber down and took his wrist , checking his pulse .

Alright , let me see your tongue .

Baber obediently stuck it out .

His pulse is weak .

His condition has gotten worse , Calliope stated .

Ive been studying some old medical texts over the years .

Theres a treatment that might work , but its risky .

22:40 Upton asked , A permanent solution ? If it succeeds , yes .

But if it fails , the best case scenario is that hell be left with a disability .

The worst he might not survive , Calliope replied .

Upton raised his gaze .

You told me before if we dont try , he wont live past seven .

Calliope answered , Thats still true .

How certain you are ? Eighty percent , Calliope said after a moment of consideration .

Upton turned to Baber .

Baber , you heard what Calliope said .

What do you want to do ? Ive already lived longer than expected .

I want to trust Mommy .

I want to try .

Baber rested his chin on his hands as he looked at Calliope .

Mommy , dont feel stressed , okay ? I want to give it a try .

Even if something happens to me , its not your fault .
