Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 423

Chapter 423

Leaning against the wall, Dexter winced, "Didn't feel it before, but now the pain's hitting hard."

Tears brimmed in Melody's eyes as she spoke angrily, "You're talking nonsense... You were clearly trying to shield her, and that's how you got hit by the stray bullet!"

Melody glared at me fiercely, as if blaming me for everything.

I glanced at Dexter, who also looked up, his eyes reddening with pain as he leaned on the wall, taking deep breaths to cope.

"We need to stop the bleeding, then get out of here as soon as possible," I said, trying to check on Dexter's wound, but Colin tugged at my sleeve, giving me a pleading look, not wanting me to tend to Dexter.

And just like that... I didn't want to get involved anymore.

"It hurts..." Melody attempted to touch Dexter's wound, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Stella's not here, nobody's trained in first aid. You'll just have to bear with it," Finn said, patting Dexter on the shoulder.

"Phoebe... you took a few first aid classes, help me stop the bleeding," Dexter insisted that I help him.

As I moved closer, I carefully examined his wound.

"Just a graze from a stray bullet, thought you were a goner," Colin commented, still holding onto my sleeve with a look of disdain, almost as if I had dragged him over.

Dexter was seething; I could tell these two were on the verge of a brawl.

"It's an arm wound, not deep enough to hit the muscle; you won't die from it." I started tearing Melody's shirt to use for Dexter's bandage.

Melody looked at me in shock. "What are you doing?"

"If you love him, you should be happy to use your shirt for bandages," I said coolly, deliberately tightening the wound dressing.

Dexter winced in pain, almost falling over as he looked at me with hurt in his eyes.

Angry, Melody turned and walked away alone.
