"Lisette, my legs... they're going to be okay, right?"
In the restaurant, Horatio couldn't quite shake off his unease. He’d spent too many years confined to a wheelchair, years he’d rather not recall - he'd been overlooked, pushed aside, and sometimes outright bullied.
It was Lisette who had turned his life around, who had given him the strength to stand on his own two feet again.
Despite the odd sensations in his legs, he refused to believe Calliope's warnings. It was Lisette who healed him, and he trusted her implicitly.
Lisette furrowed her brows, pondering over Calliope’s words.
Calliope wasn’t one to make baseless claims, which meant there could be some truth to her concerns about Horatio’s legs.
But how could she herself really know what was going on with Horatio’s legs? The truth was, Lisette wasn’t a doctor, nor could she treat any patient. She hadn’t actually healed Horatio; she’d just taken credit for it.
“His legs can’t be in trouble, right?” Valerian glanced at Lisette. “Calliope must be talking nonsense.”
“Yeah. Don’t worry, Horatio. Your legs are fine. And even if something did happen, you’ve got me here. No need to fret!” Lisette reassured Horatio.
For now, Horatio could walk. If things changed, she’d cross that bridge when she came to it. She knew Horatio and the others trusted her without question.
If his legs ever did give out, she’d simply claim she couldn’t fix it and find a real doctor to help.
Her mind was spinning with plans as she considered Calliope’s companions, Quentin and Norton. It irked her that even though she’d managed to win Horatio and the others over, Calliope still had people by her side—people who were not only more handsome but seemed more capable too.
She cast a quick glance at Horatio and Valerian and felt a twinge of dissatisfaction. But if she could win Horatio and Valerian over, why couldn’t she do the same with Quentin and the rest?
Lisette’s lips curled into a subtle smirk. Her own family didn’t care for her, so why would these newfound allies be any different? So it wouldn’t take much to sow discord among them.

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......
