"My eldest brother," Calliope said.
"Not Horatio, right?" Silas asked, recognizing her mention of her actual brother.
"No, my brother from the countryside," she clarified. "You know how I was considered a bad omen as a kid and sent to live in the countryside, right? I lived with Grandpa then, along with my brothers. Though they aren't my blood brothers, they've always been family to me."
"You really love them?" Silas couldn't help but ask.
"Absolutely. More than anything." Calliope’s eyes sparkled with delight and happiness.
"So, where do they rank among the people you love most?" Silas’s voice seemingly carried a hint of curiosity.
"They're at the top!" Calliope declared without hesitation. "Besides Grandpa, no one else comes close. But Grandpa's no longer with us."
Thinking about her grandpa brought a twinge of sadness to her heart. Despite her excellent skills in healing, she hadn’t been able to save him. After he passed, she barely practiced medicine, feeling unworthy of using skills that couldn’t save the person she loved most.
Silas watched her intently. "Besides your grandpa and them, is there anyone else you care about?"
"Someone I care about? Well, there's Eamon, Archie, Portia, and Mavis. Each of them means the world to me."
Silas was left speechless. Of all those names, none of which were his own.
"What's wrong?" Calliope gazed at Silas, innocence in her eyes.
"Nothing," Silas replied, his tone nonchalant.

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......
