Valerian nodded. “Callie, don’t worry about her. Just eat, okay? Make sure you’re full first.”
He looked at Calliope with a hopeful expression. “So, does what I got for breakfast suit your taste?”
Valerian was clearly fishing for a compliment.
Calliope just shrugged. “It’s alright, I guess.”
Silas glanced at Valerian. “Some big brother you are, you barely know your own sister.”
Valerian was at a loss. Wait, wasn’t she the one who seemed to love this stuff when they went out to eat last time? She looked happy enough then! So why the sudden change of heart?
Still, Valerian didn’t dare ask. He just made a mental note to pick up a bigger variety next time.
They were all enjoying their breakfast when Lisette finally came downstairs, shivering like she’d been locked in a freezer. She stomped down the stairs with as much noise as she could manage, probably hoping everyone would come running.
But the living room was empty. Everyone was gathered in the dining room, deep into their food. They didn’t even glance at her as she walked in, as if she’d turned invisible. She was on the verge of a meltdown, and not a single person seemed to care.
Lisette’s face twisted in anger. Just then, Calliope called over with a wicked grin, “Hey, Ms. Drama Queen, decided not to take the leap after all? We were kind of looking forward to your big ‘swan dive’ off the roof. Shame, I’ve never actually seen anyone jump before. Guess we’ll have to miss out!”
She kept going, deadpan. “But if you’re serious, you should try the office building. It’s way taller. One good splat and it’s over in a second. Much more effective, trust me.”
Lisette nodded stiffly. She knew Zelda was just as scared of her as anyone else. So she left for the hospital, and as she walked out, everyone in the house gave her a wide berth. Honestly, she did look a little frightening.
Meanwhile, Calliope was in Silas’s car, piecing things together.
“She’s got some kind of allergic reaction, mixed with poisoning, right?” Calliope asked. After all, she was the Miracle Doctor.
Silas nodded. “Yeah. The dog had something on its fur that triggered her allergy. The toxin only affects people with her specific allergy, so Lisette got the worst of it. She’s not gonna die, but she’s in for a rough week. Happy with that as punishment?”
Calliope smirked. “Oh, more than happy.”

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......
