Lisette’s eyes were rimmed red as she pleaded with Monty and the others. Suddenly, she dropped to her knees on the hardwood floor.
“I’m not asking for forgiveness. This is all my fault. I know what I did was wrong, even if I just wanted to surprise everyone with gifts.”
“If Callie hadn’t caught me, I swear, I would’ve found a way to pay the money back. I just… I never thought Callie would find out. This is all on me.”
“I shouldn’t have done it. I know that. I messed up, and I’m here to own it and make things right. From now on, whatever Callie asks me to do, I’ll do my best. I’ll fix the mess I made. I promise.”
Seeing that begging wasn’t working, Lisette straightened up, her voice turning steadier. She was determined to show she meant it.
Monty looked at her, his heart aching. He’d loved her like his own daughter for so many years. Watching her in pain tugged at something deep inside him. He sighed, but stayed silent.
Horatio and Valerian glanced at each other. Lisette’s red-rimmed eyes and trembling voice got to them, too. She clearly knew she’d messed up and was trying to make amends.
They exchanged a look. As long as she was willing to change, she was still their girl.
“Lisette, we won’t go on about this anymore,” Horatio finally said. “Just do what Callie suggested. You made the mess, you clean it up. That’s how it works.”
“And don’t ever do something like this again,” Valerian added, his tone stern but softening at the end.
“You’re not mad at me anymore?” Lisette asked, wiping away her tears. “I knew it! You guys are the best. No one loves me like you do.”
“In my opinion, it’s time to prepare for the worst,” one doctor finally said.
“With cases like this, I usually just tell people to enjoy what time they have, eat the foods you love, spend time with family. There’s nothing more medicine can do. He’s so young, it’s truly a tragedy.”
“Looking at these scans, surgery isn’t possible. It would only hasten the end. Neither chemo nor radiation would help in this case.”
“Calliope, you’re the so-called Miracle Worker. Isn’t there anything you can do? If you’re stumped, I doubt the rest of us could do any better!”
“Yeah,” another added, “we’ve seen all sorts of cases, but your methods always surprise us. If you can’t find a way, I’m afraid no one can.”

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......
