A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 560

“Is there really nothing else we can do?” Calliope still sounded a little unwilling to give up.

“I’m afraid not,” someone replied. “From what you’ve described, using acupuncture to help with the pain and buy some time is already the best we can do. At this point, he shouldn’t be focused on surviving, but on how to be comfortable.”

“Yeah, with how bad things are, the pain alone could be enough to do him in.”

“Exactly. If he can be made comfortable, maybe he’ll last a little longer.”

“I’m sorry, Callie, but we honestly don’t have any better solutions.”

“Callie, is the patient someone close to you?”

“We’re all doctors here. We know how it goes. If there really was a way to help, we’d all do whatever it took.”

“Yeah, we would. But sometimes there’s just nothing more to be done.”

A heavy sigh seemed to pass through the group. They’d talked through every option, but none of them could come up with a better plan.

Everyone agreed: in this kind of situation, there was just no treatment left to offer.

“Well, thank you all anyway. I appreciate you taking the time,” Calliope said sincerely, after confirming there really were no more options.

“No need to thank us. It’s what we’re here for. Sorry we couldn’t be of more help.”

“All you can do now is make him as comfortable as possible.”

“Yeah. That’s all you can do.”

“Alright,” Calliope agreed. “Lance, are you—?”

“I’m okay,” Lance interrupted. “With Hudson like this, I have to be strong. If I fall apart or keep worrying him, it’ll only make things worse.”

“We’re lucky to have you, Callie. Really lucky. Thank you, Callie. We owe you.”

Lance hung up soon after.

Back at work, Calliope couldn’t help but reflect on everything. It was a sharp reminder to treasure the people you cared about. Life could be so fragile, so unpredictable.

She suddenly remembered Christmas was coming up. She needed to buy gifts for her godbrothers, and she still had to clear out the villa. She was planning to spend the holidays with them this year.

The old farmhouse out in the country was finally being torn down, otherwise they could’ve all stayed there for a while. But really, it didn’t matter where they were. As long as they were together, she knew it would feel like home.
