Calliope stared at Zelda in disbelief. “You think I’m heartless?”
She’d just spent hours in surgery saving Horatio’s legs—hours of grueling work, most of it done herself. Sure, others helped, but she was the one who pulled it all together. Horatio’s condition had been dire; fixing it took everything she had.
And now, she was supposed to keep up daily treatments for him, needlework and all that jazz.
Yet here was Zelda, accusing her of being heartless.
Heartless? They’d barely done anything for her all these years! How in the world was she the one who is heartless?
Calliope looked at Zelda, caught between exasperation and amusement. The irony was almost funny. Zelda didn’t even know the truth: Calliope wasn’t her real daughter. Her own child had died a long time ago.
“Calliope, you’re staying tonight to look after Horatio!” Zelda snapped, barking the order like a drill sergeant.
Calliope blinked. She glanced at Monty, hoping for backup.
Monty looked uncomfortable. He shifted from foot to foot, then nodded at Zelda. “Well, Callie, you do know medicine, and you did the surgery. You probably understand best how to take care of him. He’s your brother, after all. Wouldn’t it make sense for you to help out? Maybe you should stay with him tonight,” he added, as if it were the most reasonable thing in the world.
Calliope stared, shocked. Was nobody going to say this was out of line?
She looked to Valerian. He hesitated, looking around at the others and then at Calliope, as if weighing his options before finally shrugging. “Callie, might as well see it through, right? You already did the hard part. Taking care of him for a bit shouldn’t be a problem.”
Lisette piped up, “Callie, Horatio was so good to you when you were kids! You know more about all this stuff than we do. You’ll do a much better job!”

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......
