"Mama, she calls you your friend but she didn't even ask about you, "Amadeo retorted. "She doesn't even care for you. If she cared for you, wouldn't she come to see how you were doing!"
Calliope took a deep breath and said, "Amadeo, Percy didn't know I was in an accident. She doesn't know even now. Nobody knows. In fact, I didn't even tell Callum."
Amadeo looked at her with a weird look on his face.
"Understood your mistake?" Calliope said with a sigh. "Now, it's gonna be difficult for you to coax your friend. So, be prepared for a hard time that she is gonna give you."
Amadeo pursed his lips and bowed his head.
"Be polite to Callum, "Calliope finally said. "I am not telling you to open your heart to him. But he is a very good man. He doesn't deserve to be made feel as if he is not our family. Amadeo, even if you don't like him, he is our family and we always care for our family."
