A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 221 Two Days Later , the Jewell Group .

Nobody had expected Horatio to suddenly lose the ability to walk .

He had been in a meeting , but as soon as it ended and he stood up , his legs gave out beneath him .

Mr.

Jewell ! Are you alright ? Someone get help ! Mr.

Jewell just fell ! A few employees who hadnt yet left the room rushed toward him to help him up .

But Horatio could feel it his legs were completely numb , just like before .

All of a sudden , he couldnt feel anything on his legs .

His upper body was fine , but his legs … they had lost all strength .

Mr.

Jewell , what happened … to your legs? one of the employees asked , still holding onto him , glanced down .

Horatio had been fully conscious when he fell , and everyone in the room had seen it .

There was no mistaking it something was wrong with his legs .

Everyone at the company knew about his crippled legs .

Years ago , Horatio had struggled with the severe leg condition , leaving him wheelchair bound for a long time .

It had nearly broken him .

His frustration , his anger those were memories no one had forgotten .

But then , miraculously , his adoptive sister Lisette had helped him recover .

The entire office had marveled at her skill .

She was already a force to be reckoned with in the company , and apparently , she had medical expertise too .

It was no secret that the Jewell family favored Lisette over their biological daughter Calliope .

But Horatios legs had been fine for years .

So why was this happening again ? This wasnt the first time his legs had given out recently .

Those who had been paying attention knew something was off .

They suspected Horatios legs would be a problem once more , that he was about to end up back in that wheelchair for good ? The thought made the room tense .

Horatio exerted himself , but no matter how many efforts he made , he couldnt move his legs an inch , his forehead drenched with cold sweat , his heard sinking .

The cold dread in his gut deepened .

He could feel their eyes on him as if they were watching something amusing .

They probably thought this was hilarious , that he turned back to someone required attending to , that he was about to become a burden in the wheelchair again .

Mr.

Jewell ? One of the employees hesitated before speaking cautiously again , Can you walk ? Should we take you back to your office ? Maybe we should call Ms.

Jewell to come and check on you ? Horatios mind snapped back to the present .

Lisette .

Yes .

Get Lisette .

Help me to my office ! He had wanted to stand , to walk on his own , but it was useless .

He had no choice but to let them assist him .

With their help , he made it back to his office .

Not long after , Monty and Lisette arrived .

Horatio ! What happened ? Monty had every reason to be worried after learning of the incident .

The Jewell familys business rested on Horatios shoulders .

Their younger brothers , Valerian and Ulysses , werent cut out for leadership .

If something happened to Horatio , if he truly lost his mobility again … it would be a disaster .

My legs … Horatio said grimly .

Its happening more often … I cant stand up .

06:59 Chapter 221 He looked at his legs , feeling an all too familiar sense of dread creeping in .

Before , the episodes had been brief .

A few minutes of weakness , then hed recover .

But now ? The episodes were lasting longer .

Sooner or later , hed probably be like before .
