Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 277

Upstairs, Colin had somehow snuck in without me noticing, and when I caught sight of him, he was chuckling to himself. As our eyes met, the laughter in his eyes quickly turned to an expression of pain. “Phoebe… it hurts so much, I can’t sleep.”

What could I do? I sighed and went up to comfort him, feeling like I somehow owed him.

“Phoebe… rub it for me?” Colin pleaded from the bed, stretching out his arms for a soothing touch.

My mind was elsewhere, but I started to massage him absentmindedly.

Henry wasn’t going to let things slide, not after Colin’s mishap, followed by my own troubles and then Brendan’s departure. Henry’s tactics were just too ruthless…

“Phoebe, my chest hurts too,” Colin said, pointing to his heart.

I was deep in thought, but wherever he said it hurt, I’d rub.

I have to admit, his pecs were quite solid. Where had he been working out during his years on the road? Must be those good genes, making those who spend every day in the gym green with envy.

My thoughts were on how to retaliate against Henry after his string of ‘gifts.’
