A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 395 Calliope , what are you talking about ? Are you just gonna stand there or help us up ? Valerian was already in a foul mood .

He didnt think he owed Calliope an apology , nor did he feel like saying sorry .

Lisette was still locked up somewhere , while Calliope seemed to be living her life without a care in the world .

She stood there , almost taunting them with her indifference , not even offering a hand .

No wonder no one liked her , not even with her reputation as the Miracle Doctor .

She wasnt like Lisette .

Lisette always spoke softly and kindly .

Even if she wasnt all that skilled , shed put her heart into helping others .

But Calliope , she held onto grudges from childhood like they were yesterdays news .

Wasnt she living just fine ? Wasnt she married to Silas and enjoying a good life ? What did she have to complain about ? The more Valerian thought about it , the angrier he got .

If it werent for his fathers insistence on creating some public pressure on Calliope , he wouldnt have been here at all .

The reporters had trampled all over him , leaving his head throbbing with pain .

He struggled to his feet , casting a glance around the room , unsure of who these people even were .

The reporters swarmed like hungry vultures .

Callie , give me a hand here ! Monty leaned against the door , trying to stand but struggling after the crowd had stomped on him several times .

Calliope stood with her arms crossed , her face a mask of indifference as she watched them .

Callie- Horatio , lying on the ground , struggled to rise with his leg issues , looking up at her .

She seemed like a goddess atop a pedestal , looking down on them all .

It was as if they didnt exist in her world .

Horatio felt a chill in his heart .

This was his own sister , yet she acted as if they meant nothing to her , as if their fates were irrelevant .

If Lisette were here , shed probably be heartbroken , maybe even cry for them .

But Calliopes face showed no concern or empathy .

She was beautiful , almost ethereal , but so cold and detached .

Callie , I cant get up .

Can you please help me ? Horatio asked , his voice soft and pleading .

Calliope leaned against the doorframe , her hands in her pockets , her expression unreadable , as if she hadnt heard him at all .

Horatio laughed bitterly .

Callie , Im your big brother .

Dont you recognize us anymore ? Do you wish we were dead ? Would that make you happy ? If we died, youd have no family left .

Is that what you want ? Calliope remained unmoved , her face still a picture of cool detachment .

Wrong .

What ? The three looked at her , puzzled .

Even with you alive , I dont have a family , Calliope replied with a faint smile .

Have you ever seen a family photo with me in it ? Ive never been included .

So , its not that I dont want you , but youve already pushed me out .

She chuckled softly , her hands still in her pockets .

Do you think I need you ? Think about it .

How many times have you helped me ? How often did you give me pocket money ? Calliope eyed Monty with a scrutinizing gaze .
