A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 225

Lisette pushed Horatio’s wheelchair over to where Valerian was standing.

“Valerian, how did Callie get in there?”

Confusion was etched on her face. What was Calliope’s deal with Upton? She couldn’t actually come here for Upton, Lisette assumed.

“They said she’s Upton’s guest,” Horatio replied, still trying to wrap his head around it.

Calliope, a guest of Upton? How?

Someone like Upton wasn’t exactly the kind of person Calliope would have access to. Unless… was this somehow connected to Silas? It wasn’t impossible.

“Does that mean we can’t go in?” Lisette asked, frowning.

“Let’s wait a bit,” Valerian said. “Mr. Thorne will have to come out sooner or later. When he does, we’ll get a chance to talk to him.”

Lisette nodded. “That makes sense. Don’t worry, Horatio, Mr. Thorne must know where the Miracle Doctor is. If he came here, that probably means she’s 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! You’re finally here! I missed you so much!”

“Baber, look at you! You’ve 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 Upton’s. But unlike Upton’s cold and distant demeanor, Baber was all warmth and sunshine.

“That’s just because you haven’t seen me in a long time, so you think I’m taller!” Baber huffed, puffing out his little cheeks in mock annoyance. “You didn’t miss me at all, did you?”

“Of course I did!” Calliope tweaked his nose playfully. “I’ve just been busy and I’ve also been looking for a way to help you get better.”
