A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust by Sally Garcia

Chapter 347

Valerian and Horatio were more bewildered than Lisette. The two brothers stared at their phones, utterly gobsmacked by the videos, photos, and messages from the big shots circulating online.

They had always pegged Calliope as a no-good slacker, a total loser. This turn of events was so monumental it was hard for them to wrap their heads around it, let alone accept it.

Wasn't Lisette supposed to be more impressive than her? Wasn't Calliope supposed to be useless?

Even though Calliope was their sister, she had always seemed to underperform, never getting anything right-or so they thought.

And now they were being told that ever since high school, she'd been wooed by the Innovex Scientific Academy, that the nation's top weapons experts sought her advice, and she was tight with national leaders-allegedly even called upon to heal them.

What on earth was going on? Could this be true?

If it was, just how extraordinary was Calliope? How powerful could she be?

"No way, this can't be real," Valerian muttered, his hands trembling as he glanced at Horatio, seeking some confirmation that what he was seeing was actually legit. Horatio, seated in his wheelchair, had long since lost feeling in his legs. Yet, at this moment, he felt as if his legs were about to give out.

Fragments of past conversations with Calliope flickered through his mind-she had indeed claimed to be the Miracle Doctor.

Could it be real?
