Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 356



After a brisk fifteen-minute run, I finally made it back home.

The butler, hard of hearing, was fussing over the garden, giving the deserted yard a somewhat forlorn appearance.

The wind picked up, hinting at an impending downpour.

I dashed into the living room in search of Colin but came up empty.

Bedroom, bathroom, guest room - he was nowhere to be seen.

I raced back out to ask the butler, who couldn't hear or speak, where Colin might be.

Without the knowledge of sign language, I was at a loss for words.

The butler, sensing my panic, gestured towards the backyard.

Taking a deep breath, I headed there, only to find it just as empty.

I thought maybe he'd be in the basement, our little secret hideout, but it was vacant.

As I turned to leave, I spotted Colin in a corner. He was curled up next to a doghouse, holding Coly, whispering, "Coly, she doesn't want me anymore."

I approached him slowly. "Isn't that dirty?"

Colin didn't look up, just kept holding Coly, choking up. "You don't want me anymore."
