Chapter 198

My heart skipped a beat, and confusion began to cloud my thoughts.

What was I even thinking? If Colin really was the murderer, I should despise him with every bone in my body, wishing he’d be riddled with bullets already.

So why… why was I actually worried about him?

“Foebe, you’re the only one who can stop him now,” Melody’s voice was still shaking. She was hiding somewhere; through the phone, I could hear the sound of metal scraping against the ground, as if someone was dragging an axe or some other tool.

Melody had a death wish, sneaking off to the orphanage of all places.

“I bet Dexter’s lurking in the shadows, too, huh? You love him so much; he’ll keep you safe. Calling me over, you sure know how to cover your bases. What, killing Phoebe wasn’t enough for you? Now, you want to get me killed, too? I’m not as naive as she was.”

I felt a twinge of guilt as I said it.

“You’ll come because you want to know the secret about her…” Melody said confidently.
