A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 113

"When that explosion happened years ago, I was in total shock. I wanted to save you, but someone held me back.

Later, Callie saved you, but then she left, and I went with you to the hospital.

I was so confused back then, scared out of my mind. I even wished I could trade places with you. Everyone thought I was the one who saved you. Even Mom and Dad said it was me. Everyone kept saying I saved your life, and by the time I realized I should explain, it was too late. Everyone believed it, and I was terrified."

Lisette looked up, her eyes red and filled with tears, gazing pitifully at Valerian.

Valerian felt a sharp pang in his heart as he looked at her.

"Valerian, I swear I didn't mean for this to happen... but I know I messed up, letting everyone think it was me instead of Callie.

Being only the adopted daughter of the Jewell family, I shouldn't have let it happen. Maybe I should leave the Jewell family. Callie never liked me, and it's my fault she left."

Lisette sobbed. "I'll pack my things right now. Valerian, tell Callie I'm leaving. I won't take her family away anymore. She's the real Jewell. I've always been an outsider."

Valerian reached out and grabbed Lisette.

"You silly girl. You've been with the Jewell family for so long. Blood doesn't matter anymore.

Stop crying. I know you didn't mean any harm. It wasn't your fault. Anyone would have been confused in that situation."

"Valerian..." Lisette looked up at Valerian with hope.
