Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 312

As I clutched a shard of glass, ready to plunge it into my own throat, Colin's hand shot up, seizing the bloody fragment from my grasp.

"Madness, sheer madness..." Melody stumbled backward in terror, her legs giving out beneath her as she collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Blood trickled from her forehead.

Only then did it hit me—I had dragged her by her hair, using her head to shatter the glass.

"Ms. Burton!" The butler cried out in alarm.

Dexter, too panicked to care for decorum, rushed to Melody's side to assess her condition.

I couldn't care less about Melody's fate. My hands trembling, I cradled Colin's face, pressing my forehead against his, and whispered, "Colin, let's go home..."

Damian's face was a mask of disbelief, his gaze icy as it fixed on Colin and me. Then, he burst into crazed laughter.

Outside the courtyard, a car screeched to a halt. It was Robin, Stella, and Finn rushing to the scene.

Finn glanced at the blood on Colin's and my hands, his anger palpable as he brandished some documents. "Carl has dropped the charges. Colin's violent outburst was provoked! We don't believe he lacks the capacity to control his own actions! He is still a person with rights, and his guardian will decide where he goes!"

A wave of relief washed over me—we were saved at last.

I had sent a message to Robin earlier, never expecting Finn to come to Colin's aid...
