She was just about to speak when a booming, icy voice suddenly echoed from outside the door.
“What’s this? Is my wife your housekeeper or your nurse now? You expect her to stick around here and look after Horatio day and night?” Was the surgery she did for him not enough?”
“My wife sleeps in our bed at night. Or are you all planning to keep me company instead?”
No one even saw when Silas showed up. He just barged right in. He had the kind of striking, almost devilish looks that made people nervous, and the kind of presence that made the whole room tense up as soon as his eyes swept over them.
He didn’t need to do much, just a few words, and the pressure in the room was suffocating. Everyone was dead silent. Zelda and the others instinctively took a few steps back.
“If you’re not satisfied with what my wife did during the surgery, I can break his legs right now and make sure he never walks again.”
As Silas spoke, Fagan handed him a mop handle like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Silas strode right toward the hospital bed.
“No, wait!” Zelda shrieked, throwing herself in front of Horatio. She shot Calliope a furious look. “Calliope, are you just going to let your husband do this?”
“He’s not wrong,” Calliope replied coolly from across the room. “If you’re not happy with the surgery, we can just pretend it never happened. Let him lose the legs. You can take him home after.”
“Callie, that’s too much. He’s your brother!” Lisette protested, her brow furrowed.
“He’s always been good to you. Why don’t you break them for him instead?” Calliope shot back with a crazy glint in her eye.
“Calliope, have you lost your mind?” Valerian snapped, quickly stepping in front of Lisette protectively. He glared at Calliope. “We haven’t done anything to you. We were just asking if you’d be willing to help out. If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. Are we supposed to force you?”
“‘Asking’?” Calliope chuckled, giving Valerian a look that made him drop his gaze. “I’ve never seen anyone ask like that. Sounds a lot like emotional blackmail to me.”

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......
