But deep down, Horatio knew his legs were acting up again, time and time. At first, he thought his imagination might be playing tricks on him. But as the sensation grew stronger each time, he realized it was neither a figment of his imagination nor just a mental issue.
“Lisette, come check on Horatio. His legs suddenly gave out,” Valerian urgently called out to Lisette.
Zelda and Lisette were enjoying apple pies when they heard him.
Zelda looked up abruptly. “What do you mean? How come Horatio’s legs just stopped working?”
“I don’t know. A moment ago, Horatio couldn’t stand.” Valerian frowned.
Horatio had made his way to Lisette, looking at her earnestly. “You said my legs wouldn’t have any issues, right? And you'd have a way to fix it if something did happen, right?”
Lisette's face showed a hint of embarrassment. She had indeed said that, but in truth, she had no idea how to treat it.
Horatio's legs weren’t her doing in the first place. She had just been bluffing her way through this. But she couldn’t possibly admit that.
Lisette furrowed her brow, pretending to check Horatio's pulse. Then she said, “I can’t see anything wrong. Horatio, what are you feeling?”
“Right now, I feel fine, but a moment ago, I couldn’t stand. My legs were completely numb. It’s not just now. It’s happened several times before but usually only lasts a few minutes. This time, it lasted the longest, and I feel like the numbness lasting longer each time. I’m worried that if this keeps up, I might end up like before—unable to stand at all.”
“That can’t be!” Zelda said with deep concern. “Your legs were fine! How could you not stand again?”
“I really do feel that way,” Horatio said, watching Lisette hopefully. He was hoping she’d have a solution.
Lisette shook her head, looking innocent. “I’m sorry, Horatio. I can’t find anything wrong. I saved you back then just by sheer luck.”
“Lisette—” Horatio’s heart sank.

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......
