A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 246 When Baber slipped into Lisettes hospital room , it was eerily quiet .

The little guy nudged the door open and snuck in like a mischievous cat .

Lisette had been asleep , but she was jolted awake by a sharp , searing pain that felt like a punch to the gut .

Her eyes flew open , and she tried to scream , but before any sound escaped , a hand clamped over her mouth .

Baber leaned over her bed , pulling a goofy face .

Lisette nearly jumped out of her skin , her heart pounding as she realized who it was .

You nasty witch , ugly witch , why did you try to hurt me ? Baber demanded , staring her down .

Its … its you ! Lisette gasped , sucking in a breath of air .

It wasnt me , Baber ! You should blame Calliope ! Im telling you , it was all her doing ! Shes the real villain here ! Lisette scrambled to weave her tale .

She doesnt like you , Baber .

Shes got her sights set on your daddy .

She wants to marry him but doesnt want you hanging around .

Its all her plan to get rid of you ! She figured Baber was just a kid , easily swayed by a bit of manipulation .

Baber , I can help you , she coaxed , trying to sound convincing .

You dont want a mean stepmom , do you ? Baber stared at Lisette , his eyes wide with disbelief .

See ? You know Im right ! I was only trying to help you out ! That Calliope , let me tell you , shes a piece of work .

Even her own family cant stand her .

If she becomes your dads wife , youll lose both your mom and dad .

Youll end up a poor , unloved kid ! Babers eyes , sharp and discerning , locked onto Lisettes .

For a long moment , Lisette thought she had him convinced , that shed won him over .

But then Baber chuckled , a sound that sent a chill down her spine .

Callies already married , Baber said , his eyes twinkling with mischief .

And Id be thrilled if she became my mom .

Both Dad and I adore her .

Lisette squinted , trying to mask her frustration .

Shes just fooling you .

You cant trust a word she says ! And Im supposed to trust a venomous snake like you ? Baber shot back with a smirk .

You kidnapped me , remember ? You think Im a fool ? Im small , but Im not stupid .

Baber leaned forward , suddenly pressing down on Lisettes freshly bandaged arm .

The pain shot through her , and tears welled up in her eyes .

Let go ! Youre crushing my arm , you little brat ! Lisette barked , trying to free herself .

But Baber only pressed harder , his cherubic face hardening with a touch of his fathers steely resolve .

Does it hurt ? Good .

Maybe youll think twice before messing with Callie .

You can mess with me , but you leave her alone ! Ow ! Let go , help , someone ! Lisette screamed , her voice frantic .

Someone , help ! This little monster is trying to murder me ! In desperation , she grabbed a glass from the bedside table with her free hand and hurled it at Babers head .

What the hell is going on ? A guard burst into the room , quickly restraining Lisettes arm .

Trying to murder our young master? It was him ! That little demon was hurting me ! Lisette shrieked , tears spilling down her cheeks from the pain and frustration .
