A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 256 Seriously , I didnt ? Think back to what I said at the amusement park , Calliope said with a hint of indifference .

Calliope , stop pretending .

You never said a word .

If you had , do you think I wouldnt have checked it out ? Do you think I wouldnt know where she is ? Valerians face was stormy .

If the Miracle Doctor hadnt been off the grid all these years , we wouldnt be turning to you for help ! Zelda glanced at Calliope , trying to soften her tone .

Callie , as your mother , Im begging you .

Please help your brother .

Calliope met Zeldas eyes .

I already told you , twenty percent of the company shares .

Do you really want me to get on my knees and beg ? Zelda fumed , humiliated .

Why can you give shares to Lisette but not me ? Calliope asked .

Im not asking you to beg .

My terms arent unreasonable , are they ? You dont know the first thing about running a business .

What use are shares to you ? Valerian snapped , irritation lacing his voice .

Shares should be in the hands of someone who knows what theyre doing .

Youd just get conned out of them .

Calliope , Im asking you again .

Will you help us ? Zelda took a deep breath , her demeanor turning more assertive .

Ive already stated my terms .

Callie , Im begging you to save your brother , Zelda implored , desperation creeping into her voice .

He was so good to you when you were little .

He adored you ! Do you want me to kneel before you as your mother ? Callie , family means something .

Its your brother and your sister .

Are you going to turn your back on them ? Suddenly , Zelda sank to her knees right before Calliope , tears streaming down her face .

They were in front of the hospital , with relatives of patients bustling around .

When Zelda knelt , it drew a crowd .

Whats going on here ? Why is this woman kneeling ? Whats she begging for ? The girl looks kinda heartless , doesnt she ? Calliope thought , are you kidding me ? She never expected Zelda to pull the moral guilt card on her like this .

And Valerian was joining in , too ? Callie , thats your mother .

Shes on her knees asking you .

Are you really going to ignore your brother ? You have a way to help them .

Why wont you ? Everyone , come look ! A mother is kneeling , begging her daughter just for a doctors name , and the daughter wont even do that much ! This daughter is going to drive her own mother to despair ! Calliope sighed inwardly .

This was too much .

She looked at Zelda kneeling before her , kept her expression calm , and chose not to engage .

Calliope , your moms kneeling , and you wont even help her up ? Have you no conscience ? Valerian was losing it as she remained unresponsive .

The crowd began to murmur and point fingers at Calliope .

I told you what I wanted .

If you dont believe me , what can I do ? Calliope said with a cold detachment .

Not all mothers deserve the title .

Besides , Calliope continued , I said my terms .

You can give the shares to your adopted daughter .

If you want to use the real daughter card against me , at least match what you gave her .
