Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter and Phoebe) novel Chapter 489

"Ding."

The lab's door swooshed open, and an assistant dressed in a hazmat suit, pushing a cart, made his way inside. On the cart was a huge teddy bear and some fruits and snacks, all stamped with a quarantine seal.

"These are from your sponsor, all cleared through quarantine," the assistant spoke gravely, sliding the items through the disinfection portal towards me.

Stuffing the bulky teddy through was a bit of a hassle.

I caught sight of the teddy bear and was momentarily stunned, then quickly hugged it tight. It was soft and smelled like sunshine. There was a tag on the teddy bear with Coly's logo.

It had to be Colin!

A wave of excitement hit me, and I glanced towards the camera.

No wonder the CEO of All-Stars Consortium suddenly decided to sponsor me, even spending a fortune... It was Colin who had struck a deal with the CEO of All-Stars Consortium.

Had he used shares of the Langley Group to finally secure a meeting with the CEO of All-Stars Consortium?

I was happy for Colin and also relieved.

Colin would never leave me behind... Never.

Clutching the teddy bear, I sat on the floor to enjoy the fruits.

I guess none of the other subjects had ever been treated like this; they all looked on enviously.

I bit into an apple, and it was sweet.

Looking up at the surveillance camera, I pondered for a long while, tapping my knee lightly.

Was I asking if that was Colin?

Was Colin meeting with the CEO of All-Stars Consortium now?

The camera moved, nodding up and down.

I felt a surge of happiness but couldn't show too much emotion, so I just looked down and ate another apple.

It really was Colin! Naomi was lying all along; Colin wouldn't sleep with someone else...

But even with this reassurance, I still felt uneasy.
