Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 

Leaning Into Colin’s embrace, I deliberately brought up my pregnancy again, just to rile Henry up

Even if Colin wasn’t around, there was still our baby

Sir, ma’am.Eric’s car was parked just beside us, and he opened the door, ushering us in

I cast a glance at the man standing silently behind Colin. He wore a baseball cap and remained silent but was evervigilant, guarding Colin’s back

He isI whispered as we got into the car

Bodyguard.The man himself answered my question before Colin could

His name is Bran. Eric adopted him. He’s in charge of our protection,” Colin whispered back to me

Bran hummed dismissively, his cap’s bill lowered as he gazed out the car window

I had this nagging feeling that Bran held some animosity, but I couldn’t tell if it was directed at me or someone else

I looked at Colin, then at Eric

One was his foster father, the other his employer. Naturally, the animosity wasn’t aimed at them, which left me

Had I offended him in some way

Eric, did you set up the reporter ahead of time?I asked

Eric glanced at me through the rearview mirror before nodding. Yes.” 

I breathed a sigh of relief. At least Colin wasn’t facing this alone

He knew to bring a bodyguard to handle Melody and to alert the media to intercept Henry

Phoebe, you’re so amazing. With you around, they wouldn’t dare mess with me.Colin flashed me a smile, innocent and pure

I felt a twinge of guilt. Wasn’t it supposed to be you rescuing me, big guy

Hmph.Bran, sitting in the passenger seat, let out another grunt

I wondered if he had some sort of nasal issue… 

As Eric drove past Henry’s car, Hooked out the window, my expression darkening instantly

The person who hadn’t left Henry’s car was Damian

had done my research on Damian. He was a formidable psychiatrist, a wellknown counselor in Sea City, and had won countless awards years ago, even securing the highest honors in his field. He was considered a prodigy in the world of mental health, not just in Sea City but globally

What was most unsettling was that his research focused on treatments for supermale children and the socalled bad seeds

It’s common knowledge that supermale kids are born with a genetic anomaly that makes them uncontrollably aggressive. Without altering their genes, curing their conditionseemed an impossible task

Yet, Damian had numerous clinical experiences and successful case studies. Countless parents sought him out, entrusting their children, whom they considered bad seeds,into Damian’s care, all in the hopes of them being normalafter discharge

Damian rolled down his car window, looking over in our direction

A chill ran down my spine, and I found myself avoiding his gaze as my breathing became erratic

Danger

An inner voice warned me that this man was dangerous
