Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 35

Today, he seemed to be dressed a bit more fittingly. Although his clothes were still worn to a pale hue, they managed to cover the haunting scars on his ankles and shins.

I froze, panic–stricken, looking at Stella. “Don’t be fooled by him! He’s a murderer, and he’s just pretending!”

Colin didn’t speak, only lowered his head.
