A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 241 Mr.

Thorne , it was Calliopes responsibility to keep an eye on your son .

You cant just cover for her because you two are close , right ? Valerian was trying to reason with him .

Lisette would never take your kid .

Shes not that kind of person .

Oh really ? Upton turned to him .

Lets see when we find Baber .

Just as they stepped out of the amusement park , Calliopes phone buzzed with a call .

Got it .

Were on our way .

She turned to Upton .

Theyve found Baber .

Hes been taken to the hospital .

Sounds like he got pretty shaken up and isnt feeling well .

We should head there now .

They swiftly piled into their cars , dragging Lisette along with them .

Ulysses and his crew followed close behind , their cars speeding down the road toward the hospital .

By the time they arrived , Baber had already been admitted to a room .

A group of specialists hovered around him , looking uncertain .

Silas stood by the bedside , his brows furrowed as he studied the boy .

At the door , Fagan spotted Calliope and the others arriving .

He wasted no time filling them in .

The moment Calliope realized Baber was missing , she had reached out to Silas .

In this city , no one had more power or influence than him .

If anyone could find Baber , it was Silas .

Since Silas had learned of Baber being her godson , he personally went out searching him .

And not long after , he tracked Baber down .

Fagan explained that Baber had been drugged and locked in an old abandoned house , guarded by a few men .

He had been in distress , which likely contributed to his current condition .

Ill go see him .

Without hesitation , Calliope stepped into the room .

The doctors immediately stepped aside , giving her space .

Mommy ! Babers voice was small and shaky as he looked at Calliope .

My tummy hurts .

Dont be scared , sweetheart .

Im here now .

Youll be okay , she reassured him with a warm smile .

She moved closer , taking his wrist lightly to check his pulse .

Then , without hesitation , she pulled out a small silver case , selected a few acupuncture needles , and carefully placed them along specific points on his abdomen .

Baber blinked up at her .

How do you feel now ? Calliope asked softly .

Baber smiled at Calliope .

It feels warm … much better .

Thanks , Mommy ! Then , he turned his head toward Silas .

And thank you too , Daddy Silas ! Youre just as cool as my real dad ! Silas was dead serious .

Cooler than your dad .

Baber was speechless .

Alright , so his real dad wasnt the only one with a big ego .

With Baber stabilized , Calliope finally turned to Silas .

Did you catch them ? Yeah .

Silas shifted his gaze toward Upton .

By now , Fagan had already given him a rundown of the situation .

Upton strode forward , glancing at Baber .

Seeing that the boy was safe , he finally exhaled , tension easing from 1/2 05:18 ter his shoulders .

Then he asked , Baber , do you know who did this to you ? Baber pointed toward the doorway , where a pair of bodyguards were holding Lisette by the arms .

It was her ! That bad woman knocked me out ! Baber uttered angrily , Bad woman ! Lisette had never expected Baber to be found so quickly , let alone that he would remember her .

Thats impossible ! You cant trust a kids memory ! Valerian burst out .

They get people mixed up all the time .

Or maybe this is you , Calliope .

Did you deliberately shift the blame on Lisette ? Maybe you put ideas in his head .

Hes close to you .

Whatever you say , hell listen .
