A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

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, he figured maybe she and the family had patched things up. So, out of respect for her, he decided to check in on the Jewells.

"Mr. Jewell, Mrs. Jewell," he greeted them, his voice polite and measured. "I'm the director here."

Monty immediately jumped to his feet. "Oh, Director! Hello, hello!"

Zelda shot the director a sharp look, her tone suspicious. "So you're the one in charge? What's going on with the surgery? They've been in there forever. Why is it taking so long?"

"If you're the director, you must know what's happening, right?" she pressed, arms crossed. "Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son, your hospital won't hear the end of it. I'll make sure you pay, you understand? So you better make sure Calliope does her job right!"

Then, as if a new thought struck her, Zelda's eyes narrowed. "Why are you even here, anyway? Don't tell me the surgery failed! Did that damn Calliope send you because she doesn't have the guts to face us herself?"

"Where's Horatio? Is he okay?!" Zelda's voice rose, teetering on the edge of hysteria.

The director stared at Zelda in disbelief, at a loss for words. She was acting like a complete shrew. He hadn't even said anything yet and she was already threatening lawsuits.
