A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 228 Given Uptons status , what could he possibly have to trade ? What did he have that Upton would want ? Mr.

Thorne , please , we need your help ! Lisette snapped back to reality , quickly jumping in to plead on Horatios behalf .

My brothers legs are in critical condition , and only she can help him ! Upton glanced at them , his lips curling into a cold smirk .

You really dont know who she is , do you ? If we knew , we wouldnt be here begging you ! Lisette shot back anxiously .

Youre the ones who pissed her off , and now you come running to me for help ? Thats hilarious .

Upton let out a chuckle .

He didnt bother wasting any more time on them and simply turned to leave with Baber in tow .

Baber glanced back and stuck out his tongue .

Bunch of idiots clutching a rotten apple like its gold while tossing away real treasure ! Horatio and the others frowned , confused by Babers remark , and even more confused by Uptons words .

What did he mean by that ? Had they somehow offended the Miracle Doctor ? Impossible .

They didnt even know who she was , let alone have the chance to offend her .

You lot still standing around for what ? Get moving ! one of the security guards barked at them , snapping them out of their daze .

With no other choice , they left the hospital .

Inside their car , uncertainty filled the air .

How could we have possibly offended the Miracle Doctor ? We dont even know her ! Uptons probably just making excuses because he doesnt want to help us , Valerian huffed , his frustration evident .

Thats what I think too , Lisette agreed , before turning toward Horatio .

Horatios expression was grim .

They had come all this way looking for the Miracle Doctor , but not only had they failed to find her , they hadnt even gotten the slightest lead .

If they couldnt track her down , then hed be stuck in this damn wheelchair like before .

No , he refused to accept that .

He needed to walk again .

He wasnt going to be a cripple .

That evening , Calliope received an incoming video call from Baber .

At the time , she was sprawled put on a plush rug , leaning against Million while casually playing a game .

When she answered , Babers chubby , rosy cheeked face popped up on the screen .

Mommy ! What are you doing ? Playing a game , Calliope replied with a gentle smile .

What about you ? Did you eat ? Yep ! Baber grinned .

Mommy , are you free tomorrow ? I wanna go out and play with you! Tomorrow ? Sure .

What do you want to do ? Calliope propped her chin on her hand , watching him .

I heard theres a huge amusement park nearby ! Daddys busy tomorrow , so can you take me instead ? Of course .

Yay ! I knew you were the best ! Obviously .

I love you the most .

Oh , Mommy ! Speaking of which , those annoying Jewell family people were asking about you today! Daddy and I didnt tell them anything ! They want you to heal that guys legs , the one in a wheelchair , so shameless ! They 10 22:41 Chapter 228 kicked you out , but now they want your help ? The nervel Baber exclaimed , his exasperation evident .

Mommy , do you need me to handle them ? Not necessary , Calliope chuckled and said softly .

Thanks for keeping my secret , sweetheart .

And I can handle them myself .

Actually , you should just tell them youre the Miracle Doctor and watch them grovel ! Baber huffed indignantly .
