A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 1025

The day before Calliope was supposed to leave with the team, she heard the news—Mavis was awake.

The moment she found out, she headed straight for the hospital.

She arrived just as Portia did. The two women crossed paths at the main entrance, caught each other’s eye, and without a word, dashed together toward the elevators.

Inside the elevator, Portia glanced over. “Did Uriah call you?”

Calliope nodded. “He did, but he sounded… off. He was so hesitant, I couldn’t tell if something was actually wrong with Mavis.”

“Same here. He wouldn’t explain anything—just said we needed to get here right away,” Portia replied, frowning. “I kept asking how Mavis was, but he wouldn’t say. Just kept repeating that we’d understand when we saw her.”

The lack of answers set both of them on edge, worry gnawing at their hearts.

“She’ll be fine,” Calliope said, trying to calm herself as much as Portia. “Nothing was wrong with her physically before. If she’s awake now, that has to mean things are looking up.”

She managed a reassuring smile for Portia. “Don’t stress.”

“You’re right. As long as she’s physically okay, that’s what matters,” Portia said, nodding.

They hurried down the corridor to Mavis’s room, only to find Uriah standing by the door. He was tall, suited, imposing as ever—but the misery clouding his face was unmistakable.

He looked anything but relieved. The two women shot each other a worried glance.

“Mr. Stewart, what’s going on? Mavis is awake, isn’t she? Why are you standing out here?” Calliope asked as she strode toward him.

“Yeah, Mr. Stewart, why aren’t you inside?” Portia added.

Hadn’t he been desperately waiting for Mavis to wake up? Now the moment was here, and he was keeping his distance?
