A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 1008

With Mavis like this, Uriah could hardly be faring any better.

After returning home, the two of them cleaned up—showering and changing clothes—before heading out again together for the hospital.

Inside, Mavis still hadn’t woken. Portia and Archie were already there. Archie hadn’t been supposed to fly back so soon, but the news about Mavis had brought him straight home.

When Calliope and Silas arrived, they found Archie and Portia in Mavis’s room, their voices gentle as they spoke to her.

Uriah sat at her bedside, hunched and unkempt. He looked as though he hadn’t changed his clothes in days—his hair disheveled, several days’ stubble shadowing his jaw. He was nothing like the sharply dressed, scrupulously put-together man Silas remembered. The sight of him made Silas frown.

“Callie! You’re here!” Portia leapt to her feet, relief and emotion welling in her voice. “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine,” Calliope replied, offering her a reassuring smile. “You don’t need to worry about me. Has Mavis shown any change?”

Portia shook her head and let out a tired sigh. “No. We’ve all tried talking to her, hoping for some sign, anything—but she just doesn’t respond.” Her voice began to tremble. “Callie, what are we going to do?” At the thought that Mavis might never wake up, her eyes filled with tears.

“She’ll wake up,” Calliope said firmly, looking at Mavis with steady conviction. “Mavis is the strongest person I know. This isn’t some insurmountable challenge—she’ll get through it.”

“Right. I know you’re right,” Portia said, nodding fiercely, as if holding onto hope by sheer will. “If anybody can pull through this, it’s her!”

“She’s just lost in her own mind right now. She’ll wake up soon,” Calliope said, her voice gentle but determined.
