A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 578

“You—” He grimaced, eyeing her up and down. “What happened to your face? Did you catch something? Are you sick?”

“That looks like some kind of contagious rash!” Silas exclaimed, dramatically putting himself between Calliope and Lisette.

“What’s all this noise about?” Zelda walked in just then, catching Lisette’s raised voice. She shot the group a suspicious look, her eyes finally landing on Lisette’s face.

She recoiled a step, staring in disbelief. “Lisette, what happened to your face?”

“My face?” Lisette reached up to touch her cheek, but she didn’t feel anything unusual. Seeing the horrified expressions on Valerian and Silas, she started to panic. She glanced around nervously, hesitated, and then bolted back to her room.

A few seconds later, a blood-curdling scream echoed from down the hall.

Zelda shot Silas a glance, then looked over at Calliope, her voice sharp. “What’s going on with Lisette? Did you do something to her?”

“Me? Why would I do anything?” Calliope sounded genuinely bewildered. She held up her hands in protest.

“My wife didn’t do a thing,” Silas interjected, crossing his arms. “If you’ve got questions, ask me. Don’t go blaming her.”

Zelda rolled her eyes. Before she could respond, Silas leaned in, lowering his voice with mock seriousness. “By the way, Zelda, you might want to keep your distance. Lisette’s rash looks like it could be contagious. Wouldn’t want you catching something nasty, especially at your age. Young folks bounce back faster, you know?”
