“You—” He grimaced, eyeing her up and down. “What happened to your face? Did you catch something? Are you sick?”
“That looks like some kind of contagious rash!” Silas exclaimed, dramatically putting himself between Calliope and Lisette.
“What’s all this noise about?” Zelda walked in just then, catching Lisette’s raised voice. She shot the group a suspicious look, her eyes finally landing on Lisette’s face.
She recoiled a step, staring in disbelief. “Lisette, what happened to your face?”
“My face?” Lisette reached up to touch her cheek, but she didn’t feel anything unusual. Seeing the horrified expressions on Valerian and Silas, she started to panic. She glanced around nervously, hesitated, and then bolted back to her room.
A few seconds later, a blood-curdling scream echoed from down the hall.
Zelda shot Silas a glance, then looked over at Calliope, her voice sharp. “What’s going on with Lisette? Did you do something to her?”
“Me? Why would I do anything?” Calliope sounded genuinely bewildered. She held up her hands in protest.
“My wife didn’t do a thing,” Silas interjected, crossing his arms. “If you’ve got questions, ask me. Don’t go blaming her.”
Zelda rolled her eyes. Before she could respond, Silas leaned in, lowering his voice with mock seriousness. “By the way, Zelda, you might want to keep your distance. Lisette’s rash looks like it could be contagious. Wouldn’t want you catching something nasty, especially at your age. Young folks bounce back faster, you know?”
He leaned forward, his tone icy. “Now you’re worried about Lisette, but where was your concern for Callie back then? No one helped her. She almost died because of a stupid dog, and if she didn’t know a bit of first aid, she’d be dead.”
He crossed his legs, posture radiating authority as he stared Zelda down.
Zelda shifted uncomfortably, memories of that incident flickering in her mind, though she couldn’t quite remember the details. Calliope had survived, hadn’t she? That was all that mattered. Zelda never really cared about Callie, but Lisette was different. She couldn’t let anything happen to her.
“She didn’t die, did she? She’s fine now, isn’t she?” Zelda snapped. “So what’s the point in holding a grudge?”

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......
