A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 519

Calliope sat across from the doctor, both of them lost in troubled thought.

Cases like Hudson’s—they’d seen them before. But ones as tangled and complicated as his? Those were rare.

“I’ll reach out to a few colleagues, see if anyone has fresh ideas,” the doctor said, though his voice lacked conviction. “We already tried a panel consultation. Everyone came to the same conclusion.”

“And now things have gotten even messier,” he sighed, glancing through the glass at Hudson’s unmoving form.

The truth hung heavy between them: for patients like Hudson, there was little left to do. The doctor knew it.

Calliope knew it. It was as if a judge had already passed the sentence—they just hadn’t delivered the news.

Still, there was one last card to play: Calliope. She was known throughout the hospital as the Miracle Doctor. Her reputation was almost legendary. If anyone could do something about this, it was her.

But looking at Calliope now, the doctor saw even she was stumped. Miracle Doctor or not, she was only human. She wasn’t some kind of saint or angel who could bring people back from the dead with a touch. Her miracles came from medicine, not magic.

“I’ll call some experts I know, see if anyone’s had success with cases like this,” Calliope said, her eyes never leaving Hudson.

The doctor nodded. He managed a strained smile. “That’s all we can do. I know this is a lot of pressure. But all we can do is our best. Sometimes… sometimes there’s just nothing more we can do. If that’s the case, at least let’s make sure he’s comfortable. You know how it is with cancer patients at the end—it can be so cruel, so undignified.”

Calliope nodded. “Managing his pain—I can do that much.”

But stopping the tumor’s wild growth? That was beyond her reach.
