When Baber slipped into Lisette's hospital room, it was eerily quiet. The little guy nudged the door open and snuck in like a mischievous cat.
Lisette had been asleep, but she was jolted awake by a sharp, searing pain that felt like a punch to the gut. Her eyes flew open, and she tried to scream, but before any sound escaped, a hand clamped over her mouth.
Baber leaned over her bed, pulling a goofy face.
Lisette nearly jumped out of her skin, her heart pounding as she realized who it was.
"You nasty witch, ugly witch, why did you try to hurt me?" Baber demanded, staring her down.
"It's... it's you!" Lisette gasped, sucking in a breath of air. "It wasn't me, Baber! You should blame Calliope! I'm telling you, it was all her doing! She's the real villain here!"
Lisette scrambled to weave her tale. "She doesn't like you, Baber. She's got her sights set on your daddy. She wants to marry him but doesn't want you hanging around. It's all her plan to get rid of you!"
She figured Baber was just a kid, easily swayed by a bit of manipulation.
"Baber, I can help you," she coaxed, trying to sound convincing. "You don't want a mean stepmom, do you?"
Baber stared at Lisette, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"See? You know I'm right! I was only trying to help you out! That Calliope, let me tell you, she's a piece of work. Even her own family can’t stand her. If she becomes your dad's wife, you'll lose both your mom and dad. You'll end up a poor, unloved kid!"
Baber's eyes, sharp and discerning, locked onto Lisette's.
For a long moment, Lisette thought she had him convinced, that she'd won him over.

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......
