Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 235

Based on the clues at hand, it was clear that Foebe had intentionally imitated me, and her plan to ensnare Colin by doing so was undeniable.

But why had she expended so much effort only to choose to swallow pills on her wedding day?

Colin didn’t seem as surprised as I would’ve expected. Could it be that he had some inkling that Foebe was on a path to self–destruction?

“Foebe, I’m off to work now. Call me if you need anything.”

I nodded to the familiar face as she headed upstairs.

“Aren’t you shocked? Why would Foebe grab all those pills?” I whispered to Colin.

Colin looked down, his grip on my hand tightening. “Who would want to marry me?”

I was taken aback, almost missing the gravity of his question.

Before my resurrection, Colin had been nothing but a dirty, deranged vagabond. Indeed, no girl in her right mind would have wanted to marry him.

“But she…” What puzzled me was that Foebe had gone to such lengths to mimic me. Wasn’t her goal to get close to Colin?

After taking Colin back to his hospital room, I used the excuse of going out to get dinner to actually meet the acquaintance on the second floor.
