Lisette and the others snapped their heads around at the sound of heavy footsteps.
A towering, broad-shouldered man, easily six and a half feet tall, bald, and covered in tattoos, limped into the room, leaning on a cane. One of his legs was wrapped in a thick cast.
He hobbled over to Lisette’s bedside and eyed her with a smirk. "So, you don’t want to leave?" His voice was deep, almost amused. "That works for me. I could use a bedside companion."
Then, without warning, he glanced at Lisette’s injured arm, turned around, and dropped his full weight onto it.
"Ah!" Lisette’s scream pierced the air.
Everyone in the room winced, their expressions tightening in shared discomfort.
"You’re sitting on my arm!" she shrieked.
Valerian lunged forward, trying to shove the man off, but the giant barely budged. Instead, he pushed Valerian away with a single hand, sending him sprawling onto the floor.
"Seriously? That weak?" The man snorted, looking unimpressed. "What, do you skip meals or something?"
His gaze returned to Lisette, whose face had turned a sickly shade of white from the pain. "You like this bed so much?" He gave her a grin that was anything but friendly. "Well, it’s mine. You’ll have to be my mattress if you want to stay."
With that, he leaned back as if he was about to lie down on her.
Lisette panicked. "I’ll go! I’ll leave! I’ll check out, transfer hospitals, and whatever it takes. Just don’t lie down!"
The man chuckled, finally shifting off her arm. He looked her up and down. "You know, I like you. You could stick around and keep me company. I get bored, you know."
Lisette scrambled off the bed like she had woken up in a nest of vipers. Her arm throbbed agonizingly, but all she cared about was getting the hell out of the nightmare of a hospital.
Realizing they were no match for this guy, Valerian quickly gathered Lisette’s things.

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......
