A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 197 Horatio struggled , his hand gripping the doorframe as he tried to stand up , but it was like his legs had vanished .

Horatio , whats happening to you ? Valerian rushed over , trying to help him up , but Horatio was too heavy for him to lift .

Whats going on ? Ulysses asked , his face full of worry as he stared at Horatio .

Horatios face was pale and tense .

I … I cant feel my legs .

How is that possible ? Valerian was getting anxious .

Both he and Ulysses tried to hoist Horatio to his feet , but Horatios legs were completely numb .

Even with his brothers help , Horatio couldnt muster any strength .

He was utterly bewildered and panic stricken .

I have no strength at all .

My legs … are they failing me again ? Am I going to need a wheelchair again ? No , I dont want to be in a wheelchair ! Valerian , Ulysses , I cant return to those days , needing someone to take care of me ! Horatio shook his head frantically , his brows furrowed as he desperately tried to stand .

But he had no strength .

He couldnt stand by himself .

His legs were like jelly with no sensation whatsoever .

This cant be happening .

Werent my legs supposed to be fine ? In a fit of frustration , Horatio began to pound on his legs , but no matter how hard he hit , he felt nothing .

Valerian and Ulysses exchanged worried glances .

Take it easy , Horatio .

Maybe youre too stressed .

Try to relax and see if you can feel anything , Valerian suggested .

Lets get you over to the couch so you can sit and take a breather , Ulysses nodded in agreement .

Ive heard of people experiencing this kind of thing because of stress .

It might just be in your head .

Yeah , didnt Lisette say your legs were fine ? Valerian reassured him as they helped Horatio onto the couch .

Horatio sat there with his eyes filled with despair .

It wasnt the first time it had happened .

His legs had been giving out unexpectedly more frequently , and they seemed to take longer to recover each time .

He couldnt help but recall what Calliope had once said .

Callie did mention something about my legs acting up again , Horatio muttered , his brows knitted in worry .

What if I can never stand up again ? Thats not going to happen , Valerian said firmly , his face determined .

Dont listen to Calliope ! Shes probably just trying to mess with your head , make you think you cant stand .

Why would she do that ? Ulysses was indignant .

Back when you had your accident , she didnt lift a finger to help .

It was Lisette who helped you recover .

Calliopes always trying to take credit for Lisettes work , always jealous of her ! Shes so infuriating , always making mistakes and never owning up to them .

She should apologize to us and Lisette , but instead she thinks cutting ties with us solves everything ! Horatio remained silent , the unease gnawing at him .

He pinched his thigh hard .

But there was no sensation .

Stop it ! Valerian said , frowning .

Youll hurt yourself .

Let me carry you downstairs .

Lisette will know what to do .

Yeah .

Lisette said shed fix this , Horatio nodded , a glimmer of hope in his eyes .

The thought of Lisettes assurance eased his mind a little .

When they arrived , he felt a sensation returning to his legs .

He could stand again .

As he climbed out of the car , Ulysses asked , Can you walk , or should Valerian carry you ? Im okay .

It feels like Im back to normal .

Horatio took a few tentative steps , his legs responding as they should , as if nothing had happened .
