A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 611

Silas eyed the envelope in Calliope’s hands with obvious curiosity. It was pretty clear—this was one of those things people left behind when they knew their time was running out, and it was meant for her.

He had no idea what the letter said. But judging by the way Calliope was clutching it, it had to be something important.

“Is that the letter your grandpa left you?”

Calliope nodded, looking a little uncertain. Still, she took a deep breath and opened the letter. She handed the old cigar box it came in over to Silas, then started to read.

It was definitely Grandpa Kermit’s handwriting. No doubt about it, this was his farewell.

As soon as she started reading, Calliope’s expression changed. Shock washed over her face.

Kermit had written this when he knew he didn’t have much time left. He’d said there was a secret he couldn’t leave without telling her, a truth he’d kept to himself until now.

He explained he hadn’t told her before because he didn’t think she was ready. So, he’d left the letter here, in the old farmhouse, knowing she’d eventually come back, probably to help sell or tear down the place, and she’d find it.

The letter wasn’t long. After a few lines reminiscing about the past, Kermit got right to the heart of things—Calliope’s origins.

No one else ever knew, not the Jewells, not their friends, not anyone. Just Kermit and that mysterious woman.

Now, with his time almost up, Kermit couldn’t bear to take the secret to his grave. He needed Calliope to know the truth.

He told her not to feel guilty. The inheritance she’d received was all from her birth mother, not the Jewells. He asked her to protect what was hers, not to hand it over to Monty or anyone else.

Kermit knew the Jewells hadn’t treated her well. In the end, he told her plainly not to waste any more time worrying about the Jewell family. They weren’t really her family, not where it counted.
