Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 300

I scurried back under the covers, pretending to be sound asleep.

It wasn’t long before I heard the door creak open.

The figure approaching my bed wasn’t Dexter; it was Damian.

My hands tightened into fists beneath the blanket. I tried to keep my breathing even, to avoid giving myself

away.

Damian stood by the bed, seemingly studying me for an eternity before he chuckled. “Only a lunatic would believe in reincarnation, right?”

“Dr. Damian, you don’t believe it either, do you?” Melody’s voice came from the doorway as she entered the room. “And yet Dexter wants to believe her, despite her being a fraud. No matter how convincing her act, she’s not Phoebe. Phoebe is dead, and I’ve worked too damn hard…”

Her voice trailed off abruptly.

“Dexter loved Phoebe, so he’d rather create a fantasy,” Damian said, his voice dispassionate, “This fantasy could be Foebe or you.”

I exhaled a silent sigh of relief. Damian, sharp as he was, clearly didn’t buy my act as Phoebe.

“I was thinking the same… but then this Foebe came out of nowhere,” Melody spat through clenched teeth. It seemed she had entertained the thought of passing herself off as Phoebe.

“Don’t worry. The fake’s presence only makes you seem more genuine,” Damian reassured her with a smirk. “Just do as I say, and not only will Dexter be convinced that you are the true Phoebe; but Caleb… he’ll believe you’re Phoebe as well.”

Melody’s excitement was palpable. “Dr. Damian, what’s your plan…?”

“Anything Foebe can mimic, you can do too. Besides, you know Phoebe’s childhood memories better than she knew herself,” Damian continued with a nonchalant tone. “Dexter is already blinded by guilt, Have you been giving him the medicine I prescribed?”

S

“Yes, he took it just before he fell asleep. Ever since the real Phoebe died, he’s been like a madman, completely oblivious…” Melody whispered.

“The medication is meant to induce hallucinations in Dexter. He’s easy to fool. As for Caleb… with my treatment and psychological suggestions, once discharged, he will firmly believe you are Phoebe.”
