Oliver stared at the people sprawled out on the floor. “Someone just threw some powder at them, and now they’re all knocked out cold. Are you sure this isn’t poison?”
He probably hadn’t seen his own well-trained team drop like a sack of potatoes before. Honestly, it looked exactly like poisoning. If it wasn’t, then what else could possibly explain it?
“I don’t think so,” the doctor replied, sounding a little unsure himself. He knelt down and checked each person carefully, then shook his head. “Nope, they’re just asleep. Out like a light, but definitely just sleeping.”
“So, not poisoned?” Oliver asked, raising an eyebrow. “That’s pretty impressive, actually. Puts regular anesthetics to shame.”
The doctor nodded. “Yeah, whoever did this didn’t use poison. It’s more like some kind of super sleeping powder.”
“So, they’ll be okay?” Oliver was getting more and more intrigued by Calliope. She’d just made his men crash like they’d been up all night at a frat party.
“Yeah, they should be fine,” the doctor assured him. “But it’s chilly tonight. If they stay on the floor like that, they’ll probably catch a cold. Best to throw a blanket over them.”
Oliver glanced at the doctor. “Then go ahead and do it.”
The doctor blinked in surprise, but he did as he was told, grabbing some spare quilts from the closet.
Meanwhile, Calliope had already made her way home. She glanced down at the little vial of sleep powder in her pocket—a concoction she’d put together herself, something like a souped-up sedative. One sprinkle, and people were out faster than after Thanksgiving dinner.
She’d brought it along today since she’d needed it for Horatio’s surgery. Never imagined she’d end up using it on Oliver and his crew.
Once she got home, she sent for Damien. Damien had left a few people at the hospital to keep an eye on the Jewell family, but he himself had already returned to the Myers estate.
Calliope sat across from him, her expression serious.

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......
