"Enough!" Horatio snapped, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. "If you don't want to help, no one's forcing you. You don't need to go on and on with your explanations."
"Horatio," Calliope replied with a smirk, "don't flatter yourself. I'm not explaining for your sake."
"Oh, by the way," she added, her eyes glinting with something unreadable. "Aren't you curious about who can really heal your legs?"
Horatio froze at her words.
"In this world, other than the Miracle Doctor, there's no one else who can cure you," she continued, a hint of triumph in her voice. "And there's a secret you don't know. Aren't you at all curious why Lisette could once heal you, but now you need the Miracle Doctor? Haven't you ever wondered about that?"
"Was it really Lisette who healed your legs while you were unconscious?" Calliope pressed on. "Even the best doctors around the globe couldn't help you, yet Lisette managed to? If Lisette is so talented, why isn't she a renowned surgeon herself?"
Calliope's words were sharp, cutting through Horatio's skepticism like a hot knife through butter.
Meanwhile, Lisette's face had turned as pale as a ghost. “What did Calliope know? Did she realize that it wasn't actually me who had treated Horatio's legs? This lunatic, could this reunion turn into her stage to reveal everything, and humiliate me?”
"Calliope, what exactly are you trying to say?" Horatio asked, his voice steady, but the uncertainty was clear in his eyes.
"Patience, Horatio," Calliope said with a coy smile. "We'll get to the part you're curious about."
"Oh, and aren't you all curious why I've never liked Lisette?" she continued, her tone turning more mischievous. "Well then, let me show you something."
She tapped her phone, and the screen flickered to life with a new video.
The footage showed two little girls. One looked every bit the little princess, while the other seemed to lack that regal aura.
Minutes later, the brothers appeared again, this time scolding the girl with the bunny without asking what had happened.
"Calliope, why are you bullying Lisette again?"
"Lisette, are you okay?"
"Lisette, what happened?"
"I’m fine," she sobbed, wiping her tears. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have touched my sister's bunny. I’m only adopted, after all."
The scene faded, leaving behind a room thick with tension and unspoken accusations.

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......
