Chapter 619 Calliope and Silas walked into a cozy little diner on the corner, the kind with checkered tablecloths and the warm smell of coffee and pie in the air. Once they slid into their booth, Calliope looked at Silas, a little suspicious. “I thought you said you had to

Chapter 613 After watching Calliope in surgery for a while, the hospital director was genuinely blown away by her skillful hands. He lingered by the operating room, unable to help himself. He knew the Jewell family didn’t exactly treat Calliope well, but seeing her step up to operate on Horatio,
Chapter 612 Lisette’s dramatic warnings left Zelda a little uneasy. She glanced at Valerian. “You don’t think anything’s going to happen to Horatio, right?
