Given Upton’s status, what could he possibly have to trade? What did he have that Upton would want?
"Mr. Thorne, please, we need your help!" Lisette snapped back to reality, quickly jumping in to plead on Horatio’s behalf. "My brother’s legs are in critical condition, and only she can help him!"
Upton glanced at them, his lips curling into a cold smirk. "You really don’t know who she is, do you?"
"If we knew, we wouldn’t be here begging you!" Lisette shot back anxiously.
"You’re the ones who pissed her off, and now you come running to me for help? That’s hilarious." Upton let out a chuckle. He didn’t bother wasting any more time on them and simply turned to leave with Baber in tow.
Baber glanced back and stuck out his tongue. "Bunch of idiots—clutching a rotten apple like it’s gold while tossing away real treasure!"
Horatio and the others frowned, confused by Baber’s remark, and even more confused by Upton’s words.
What did he mean by that? Had they somehow offended the Miracle Doctor?
Impossible. They didn’t even know who she was, let alone have the chance to offend her.
"You lot still standing around for what? Get moving!" one of the security guards barked at them, snapping them out of their daze.
With no other choice, they left the hospital.
Inside their car, uncertainty filled the air.
"How could we have possibly offended the Miracle Doctor? We don’t even know her! Upton’s probably just making excuses because he doesn’t want to help us," Valerian huffed, his frustration evident.
"That’s what I think too," Lisette agreed, before turning toward Horatio.
Horatio’s expression was grim. They had come all this way looking for the Miracle Doctor, but not only had they failed to find her, they hadn’t even gotten the slightest lead.
If they couldn’t track her down, then he’d be stuck in this damn wheelchair like before.

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......
