A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 226

After that, Baber turned to Upton.

“Daddy, it’s not like we have other options. And I don’t have much time left anyway, so why not give it a shot? Gotta risk it for the biscuit, right?

But listen, we need to be clear on something - if anything happens to me, you can’t be too sad, and you can not blame Mommy. This is my choice. She’s going to do her best, but if it doesn’t work out, then I guess that’s just how it was meant to be. This treatment is a big deal for her too. She’s under a lot of pressure, and it takes real courage to do this.”

Upton nodded. “I understand.”

“Great! Mommy, Daddy said yes. You go ahead and set everything up,” Baber said with a grin.

Calliope nodded. “Alright, I’ll get things ready over the next few days. If you guys have any thoughts or a better idea, just let me know.”

“In this field, you’re the best there is,” Upton said, his eyes full of trust. “After all, you were Dr. Sterling’s only apprentice.”

“Baber, lie down on the bed, will you? Since I’m here, I’ll start with some acupuncture to stabilize you first.”

“Okay!” Baber scrambled onto the bed eagerly, settling in without hesitation.

Calliope began the treatment while Upton stood by, watching intently.

Baber blinked up at her with admiration. “I really like you.”

Calliope chuckled and said, “I like you too.”

“Callie, why don’t you just marry Daddy? That way, you’d be my real mom! If I weren’t so young, I’d marry you myself!”

The little guy puffed out his cheeks, looking adorably serious. If only he could grow up—he’d protect Callie forever.

“That’s sweet, but I’m already married.”

Calliope smiled at Baber, who nearly shot up from the bed in shock, but Calliope, anticipating his reaction, gently held him down.
