A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 984

“Am I too late? How is she?”

Uriah didn’t even bother with the water in his hand—didn’t wait for Calliope’s answer—he broke into a run, heading straight for the hospital room. Seeing Mavis lying there, so quiet and still, disappointment flickered across his face. Yet, watching her peaceful breathing, he allowed himself a small measure of hope. At least, she wasn’t in any immediate danger.

As long as Calliope was here, he believed, Mavis would wake up.

“It’s not too late,” Calliope said. She glanced at Uriah’s hand. “You got bitten too?”

Reflexively, Uriah tucked his injured hand behind his back, as if to hide it from sight.

He opened his mouth to deny it, but Calliope was already tossing a small jar of pills in his direction.

“Take these. Your case is simpler than Mavis’s—one dose should sort you out.”

“Now get cleaned up, and keep an eye on Mavis. Stay with her, talk to her. It’ll help her come around.”

She turned away, already focused on her next task. “I’ll need to use your lab for a while—I have to extract some serum.”

Uriah took the pills, murmuring his thanks and nodding stiffly. He hesitated, as if considering what to say, but in the end, he stayed silent.

Calliope went to work in the lab. Extracting the serum and preparing the antidote for Mavis took hours. When she was just finishing, she heard Damien’s voice outside.

She stepped into the courtyard to find Damien—disheveled, in ill-fitting clothes that clearly weren’t his—locked in a heated argument with Uriah’s men. They didn’t recognize him and were refusing to let him in.

“Calliope!” The moment Damien spotted her, his eyes welled up with sheer relief. “I’ve finally found you! Thank God, you’re all right!”
