Wincing in pain, Lisette turned on Baber angrily, spat through gritted teeth, "You little brat!"
Baber, however, was unfazed. He pressed firmly on her injured arm, his childish voice carrying an unexpectedly authoritative tone. "That's what you get for hurting Callie! Go on. Try it again! I dare you!"
"Let go of me, you little monster!" Lisette cried out, sweat beading on her forehead as the pain intensified. She gasped sharply, tears and snot mixing as she struggled to break free. But with one of the bodyguards restraining her other arm, she was completely trapped.
By then, the commotion had drawn the nurses’ attention, who hurried over.
Baber glanced at his bodyguard, a silent command passing between them.
Catching on immediately, the bodyguard released Lisette’s wrist. Her grip on the glass tumbler loosened involuntarily, and the cup slipped from her grasp.
Baber darted out of the way just in time. The glass hit the metal bed railing with a sharp crack, shattering into dozens of pieces.
Without missing a beat, Baber let out a loud, gut-wrenching wail and crouched down, clutching his tiny hands to his chest.
"Waah! I just wanted to ask why you kidnapped me, and you, you tried to kill me!" He sobbed dramatically, his little body shaking.
The timing was impeccable. As the nurses rushed in, they saw a little, helpless child curled up on the floor, weeping uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Lisette was left panting, her face streaked with tears. But unlike Baber, she still had shards of broken glass clutched in her trembling fingers.
The nurses’ expressions hardened as they turned toward her.
"Ms. Jewell," one of them said, voice laced with disapproval. "Baber wanted to ask you a question. How could you attempt to harm a child?"
The bodyguard, ever the loyal accomplice, stepped in with a look of righteous indignation. "He’s just a kid. He was scared and confused! He wanted answers! And you—you tried to hurt him!"
"You can be cold-hearted," he continued, shaking his head, "but this? It is downright evil."
Lisette’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared in disbelief at the unfolding scene. These two—this absurd little duo—painted her as the villain!
"Are you kidding me?" she snapped, pointing a trembling finger at Baber. "He’s the one hurting me!"

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 !!!...
