A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 516

“I really don’t know what else we can do for Mr. Howell,” The doctor admitted, casting a hopeful glance at Calliope. “You’re the Miracle Doctor, after all. I’ve heard you’ve treated all sorts of rare conditions, even the really tough cases. Do you have any ideas, or suggestions for us?”

Calliope poured over the test results, flipping through the pages and scrolling through digital scans, her mind racing. One idea after another was dismissed as unworkable.

After a long, tense silence, she shook her head at the doctor. “Honestly, I haven’t thought of anything that could work—at least, not yet.”

“If we try herbal therapy, I’m worried it won’t act quickly enough. The disease is progressing too fast, and natural remedies usually take time to kick in.”

“And as for acupuncture, well, maybe it could help a little, but it’s not going to be a game changer.”

The more she tried to brainstorm, the heavier her expression grew. She was stuck.

Almost unconsciously, she glanced over at Hudson.

But Hudson, for his part, seemed surprisingly calm. He’d already come to terms with the situation, at least on the surface.

“It’s okay,” he told Calliope with a gentle shrug. “Even if you can’t fix me, I’m not upset. Honestly, I’m just grateful I’ve made it this far. If it weren’t for my godfather and everyone else looking out for me, I probably would’ve starved as a kid.”

“Callie, this isn’t your fault. Don’t beat yourself up just because you can’t pull off a miracle for me. I’m not scared of what happens—I just feel… a little regret, I guess.”
