Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 376

"Phoebe?" Outside, Colin was already waiting for me.

He held an umbrella over us, shielding me in his embrace.

His words were ambiguous, and I could interpret them as him dodging the subject.

"Let's go home," Colin said, guiding me back.

On our way home, Colin told me Dexter had woken up.

I responded with a nonchalant "Oh," unbothered by the news.

If he's awake, then so be it. It doesn't really concern me much.

"Melody's been by his side the whole time. Chances are, he'll think Melody is you," Colin seemed to be bracing me for the impact of this news, wanting me to be prepared.
