Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 470

Mrs. Larson quickly helped the man up, scolding me angrily. "Phoebe, how could you say such things about your dad? Even if your genes aren't ours, I carried you for nine months and gave birth to you. How could you be so ungrateful? The debt of raising you is greater than the heavens, you're just heartless."

"Heartless? First of all, you have to be human to deserve humanity," I replied calmly.

Henry glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Anthony, his voice deep and solemn. "Enough with the talking, let's just take her away. It looks like she's having a psychotic break."

Henry was ready to take action.

A sane person locked in a psychiatric hospital would surely go mad.

The gate was smashed open; they came prepared, determined to take me away.

To separate me from Colin and then deal with him alone.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here? Broad daylight, a society under the rule of law, and you're treating us cops like we're just for show?" Henry's men had just rushed into the yard when Robin's beat-up SUV blocked the way outside.

He stepped out of the car, lit a cigarette, and lazily watched, signaling to me, Colin, and Bran with a look that said as long as he was there, no one would touch us.

Out of the car, Finn, pale as a ghost, crawled into the bushes and started throwing up.

Colin frowned in disgust and glanced at Bran. "Get him out of here, it's embarrassing... I have a thing about cleanliness."

Bran pointed at himself. "Why me?"

"Aren't you two practically married?" Colin said coolly.

"..." Bran widened his eyes. "When did that happen? How did I not know?"

Colin leaned lazily against the doorframe and spoke again. "You're living off me right now. Your education, your food, what you wear, what you step on, all paid for with my money."

Bran bit his lip. "Fine, wait until I get into college, wait until I make it big in business, then I'll crush you with money."

After saying that, Bran gloomily went over to Finn, lifting him up with a look of disdain.

Finn turned back and started complaining to Robin. "Can you get rid of this junk car? I'm falling apart here."
