Zelda was pacing back and forth in the stark hospital hallway, her heels clicking impatiently on the linoleum. She cornered the young nurse, clearly irritated by her calm answers.
“You don’t know what’s really going on with us!” Zelda snapped, her voice rising. “Calliope isn’t exactly Mother Teresa, you know. For all we know, she could be plotting something, trying to hurt us!”
“She’s heartless! Absolutely heartless! She’d stab her own brother in the back if she had the chance!
And don’t even get me started. She’s a total jinx. She attracts disaster like a magnet. Ever since she showed up, our family’s luck has gone straight down the drain! I almost died giving birth to her, you know! From the second she took her first breath, she’s been nothing but trouble for me!”
The nurse blinked, struggling to process what she was hearing.
Wait, Calliope’s her daughter? She thought, stunned.
How could anyone blame a baby for a difficult birth? Most mothers, she thought, would have risked anything for their child, even their own life. But Zelda seemed to hold a grudge against her own flesh and blood just for being born.
The nurse found it almost impossible to wrap her head around this woman’s logic. Still, she’d dealt with plenty of irrational people during her years on the job. She knew just how to handle Zelda.
“Ma’am, I understand,” the nurse said smoothly. “Why don’t you wait here? I’ll go check on the doctor’s progress, alright?”
She added, “I’ll ask Calliope to hurry up as best as she can!”
“Fine. But if anything goes wrong in there, you better let me know!” Zelda replied, hovering near the OR door, itching to burst in at any moment.
“Ma’am, this is as far as family can go. Please wait here. I’ll keep you updated as soon as there’s any news,” the nurse replied firmly.
“Alright, fine!” Zelda huffed, crossing her arms.
As the nurse disappeared behind the swinging doors, Zelda resumed her anxious pacing, her irritation growing by the minute.

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......
