Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 375



"He's getting bailed out." Colin's voice was filled with certainty, as though James' release from the detention center was already a done deal.

I was about to say something back when Colin hung up the call.

Glancing at him, I felt a twinge of fear, even though I knew Foebe was innocent and hadn't committed those crimes. But if James and Damian were plotting against her...

"Don't worry," he said, ruffling my hair casually as if that simple gesture could ease my anxieties.

But, in a way, it did.

My feelings towards Colin were complex, a tangle of dependence and something else I couldn't quite name...

"The cops will want to talk to you, but I've got evidence that'll clear your name," Colin reassured me. "Foebe... she didn't do those terrible things."

I looked down, silent. "If Foebe is innocent, if she's truly a good person, then is any of this fair?"

Despite her innocence, Foebe was used, manipulated, and then... she was gone.

And me? I'm just squatting in someone else's life, a parasite.

"This world isn't about fairness," Colin said quietly, pulling me into a hug.
