Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 243

“Our young master has a severe mental disorder; he can’t handle any stress. But these folks just showed up uninvited, and it’s just…” Eric let out a heavy sigh and pointed to the surveillance cameras in the yard. “We’ve got cameras all over the place; you can check the footage. Our guys tried to stop the stray dog from biting someone right when it happened, but you know how it is- once a dog goes rabid and clamps down, it’s not letting go easily.”

The officer glanced at Colin’s state, then at Anthony and Diane. “You better get him to the hospital quick. We’ll get to the bottom of this, but if you were trespassing, that’s a whole different matter.”

Colin was hiding behind me, his eyes intense as he glared at Anthony and Diane.

“Don’t forget, we’ve cut ties. Next time you barge in and rile me up, I might just… kill someone, you know.” Colin’s voice was timid as he uttered the most sinister threat.

“Phoebe, are you scared?” Colin whispered to me after the police and Anthony had left.

I was worried about the dog and shook my head. “Is the lead dog the one you own? It’s not going to be in trouble, is it?”

“It’s smart. It should have run back home by now,” Colin said cheerily.

I asked him in a low voice, “What’s the dog’s name?”

Colin looked down, silent.
