A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 309 Ulysses , what happened to your foot ? Its swollen like a balloon ! Zeldas eyes widened with shock as she looked at Ulysses .

She glanced back at his face , which was usually his pride and joy .

Among her kids , Ulysses was the most handsome and the one who had ventured into the entertainment industry .

He took great care of himself , especially his face , which he considered his most valuable asset .

But right now , half of his face was so puffy he looked like hed been in a brawl .

Zelda might not have recognized him if the other side of his face hadnt remained untouched .

Her emotions were a whirlwind of concern and anger .

Who did this to you , son ? Who had the nerve to mess with you like this ? Are they out of their minds ? Ulysses expression was a mix of frustration and helplessness .

It wasnt just the humiliation of being attacked ; it was the inability to retaliate that gnawed at him .

If it were just Calliope , he wouldnt have been worried .

But she had a tiger , a wolf , and Silas by her side .

There was nothing they could do but swallow their pride and come home .

His resentment toward Calliope was growing .

Once , he considered Calliope his little sister , annoying but family nonetheless .

He never wished anything bad for her .

Now , he wished Silas would leave Calliope and her life become as miserable as she made his .

It was Calliope ! Ulysses groaned , sinking into the couch .

He glanced at his swollen foot and couldnt help but gingerly touch his face .

Mom , how bad is it ? He hadnt dared to look in a mirror since he got back .

His face felt like it was on fire , and he feared what he might see .

But he couldnt avoid it forever .

If his face was really messed up , how could he keep acting ? He had a full schedule with a reality show , two films , and a commercial lined up .

There was no time for a break .

Your face … its swollen , Zelda replied , her voice heavy with concern .

You mentioned Calliope .

What did she do this time ? Did she cause all this mess ? Zeldas temper flared .

That girl has been nothing but trouble for this family .

How could she do this to you ? Ulysses said nothing , limping to the bathroom .

When he finally faced the mirror , his scream echoed .

My face ! Staring back at him was a stranger with a face twice its usual size .

He had thought it was only a bit swollen , but it was a disaster .

How was he supposed to audition like this ? He had his sights set on a new role in a show penned by a mysterious but renowned writer whose work always turned into a hit .

The director was a big deal too .

Even a small role in that production would be a golden opportunity .

The thought of missing out made Ulysses furious .

He slammed his fist against the counter .

Calliope , that jinx ! Shes ruined everything ! If he didnt get the role , it would be all her fault .

Dont worry , honey , Zelda rushed in .

Ive called the doctor .

Theyll help with the swelling on your face and treat your foot .

But even treatment takes time .

How long is this going to set me back ? Ulysses groaned .
