A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 1067

Damien hurried back with the medical kit, breathless. He looked Nigel over with a troubled frown. “He looks like he’s on death’s door. Is there even a chance?”

Calliope was already working with practiced hands, sliding the first needle into place. “He’s lucky I happened to be here. Anyone else—he wouldn’t have made it,” she replied, her tone matter-of-fact.

Damien hesitated, absorbing her words. So there was hope after all. Still, it struck him as odd—how many times had Calliope ended up saving Nigel? Was there some strange bond between them? If Silas heard about this, he’d be furious.

Calliope glanced up, giving instructions without pausing her work. “Get in touch with his people, and call an ambulance. He needs to get to the hospital right away.”

Damien nodded hastily and started dialing. He tried Leland first—no answer. He went down the list of Nigel’s associates, but none of them seemed to know what had happened. When he told them the news, their shock quickly turned to suspicion; most thought Damien was trying to scam them, calling with fake bad news about their boss. It took all his patience, but he finally managed to convince them.

After hanging up, Damien gave Calliope a quick update. “I’ve spoken to them, and the ambulance should be here soon.”

“Alright,” she answered, her attention still fixed on Nigel as she set another needle. Damien watched, keeping out of the way while Calliope worked with quiet intensity. She inserted needle after needle, focused entirely on keeping Nigel alive. Even in unconsciousness, the man looked terrible—ashen, teetering on the edge.

When Calliope finally took a breather, Damien blurted anxiously, “How is he doing?”
