NovelEnglishChapter 224 "Where do you think you're going? This isn't a place you should be wandering into. Do you even
know who's in that VIP suite on the top floor?"
Valerian stepped in front of Calliope, blocking her path. "That room belongs to none other than the only son of
Upton, the wealthiest man in Sea City!"
"And?" Calliope frowned. Couldn't she check on her godson?
"Do you even realize who you are compared to him? What business do you have here? You think you can just
waltz in and talk to Upton? | don't know why you're here, but trust me, this isn't somewhere you should be! Don't
ever upset Upton, we still need sfavor from him!"
Lisette nodded in agreement. "It's better not go. We actually need to ask Upton about the Miracle Doctor's
whereabouts. She's the only one who can heal Horatio's legs."
At the mention of the person, Calliope's eyes flickered with surprise as she glanced at Horatio.
"Look, | know you've distanced yourself from our family, but Horais still your brother. I'm begging you, can't

Lisette was a picture of hypocrisy.
Calliope ignored them; she shot them a disinterested look before walking past Valerian.
"Calliope! What do you think you're doing?! | told you not to go in there! Why won't you just listen?"
Valerian, exasperated, lunged forward to grab her, but she ignored him, striding toward the hospital suite.
"Callie, you're going to ruin everything for Horatio!" Lisette accused, pinning the blon her.
Calliope turned her head slightly. "If you're so capable of treating him yourself, why are you still looking for the
Miracle Doctor?"
"Lisette might not be a professional, but she did giveback smobility over the years. I'm already grateful
for that," Horainterjected, gazing up. "You don't need to drive a wedge between us, Callie." "Ha, isn't it
because she wasn't the one who treated you back then?" Calliope sneered.
Brows furrowed, Horalooked at Calliope, his eyes imbued with disappointment. "We know exactly what kind of
person Lisette is. She didn't need to lie if it wasn't her making the treatment.
I know you don't like the way we treat Lisette, but this is just petty. The more you act like this, the more you
disappoint us."
Calliope let out a short, mocking laugh. "You really don't know what kind of person she is, do you?" Without
another word, she turned and kept walking.
"Calliope, are you deaf? If you insist on doing this, don't blme for getting rough!" Valerian growled.
He lunged at her abruptly, but as if she had eyes in the back of her head, Calliope easily dodged him, quickening
her pace.
"Hey! What's all this commotion?"

Calliope avoided Valerian's attempts as she strode up to the guards. "I'm a guest of Upton. He's expecting me,"
Calliope said to them.
The guards asked for her name. When she gave it, they stepped aside, allowing her entry. Valerian rushed after
her, only to be stopped by the guards, their faces
emotionless as they blocked his path.
"What are you doing?"
"I need to see Mr. Thorne!" Valerian demanded. "Why did she get to go in? What is she doing in Baber's
ward?"
"That's none of your concern. And Mr. Thorne isn't someone you can just demand to see."
With that, the guards, face steely, kept Valerian at bay.
