Calliope stood there, her eyes twinkling with a mix of mischief and sincerity.
"I'm fine," she insisted. "I wouldn't have stepped in to help if I thought I was in any real danger. I would have done the same for anyone. Oh, and here's a little secret for you. I’m kind of a big deal with holistic medicine. My hands will be fine, no scars or anything, so there's no need to worry!"
She puffed her cheeks playfully and shook Silas’s arm gently, her bright eyes wide with hopeful anticipation.
Silas met her gaze and felt his resolve crumble. No matter how frustrated he was, his heart softened instantly. He wasn’t upset that she had helped Nigel. But seeing her injured and her hand wrapped up sent a pang through his chest.
He knew how skilled she was and that she was renowned for her healing abilities. Still, he couldn’t bear the thought of her getting hurt.
“Just don’t make a habit of it.”
Calliope sighed with relief. “I promise it won’t happen again!”
Silas nodded slightly, and his worry slightly eased.
Meanwhile, outside the hospital, Valerian stood frozen. His phone call just ended. The bustling crowd moved around him, but he remained rooted, oblivious to the occasional bump from passersby.
It was her. It was really her!
For years, Valerian had it all wrong. The person he owed his life to, the one he should have treated with gratitude, wasn’t Lisette.
It was Callie, the sister he had always dismissed as a troublemaker.
It was Callie who had dragged him from the flames of that terrible fire. Yet he had never believed her.
Callie hadn’t left the country back then. She had only rushed off after helping him, when Gideon needed her urgently.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
