Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 134

Caleb wrapped his arms around me, trembling as he held me tight. His eyes were bloodshot, on the verge of losing control.

I clutched at Caleb’s hands desperately. “Colin… take me home.”

With a shaking voice, Caleb pulled me closer. “Dexter… I will kill you.”

At the doorway, Robin looked on with a complex expression, unable to utter a single word.

Melody sat shocked on the bed, unsure how to console Dexter.

Stella’s eyes were red, her face streaked with tears. She didn’t know, couldn’t fathom what her Phoebe had been through.

“We’re going home…” he whispered, leading me out of the hospital room.

Stella lunged forward, slapping Dexter hard across the face, crying out as she hit him. “Dexter, you bastard, give me back my Phoebe, give her back to me!”
