Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

He’s a genius.a genius standing at the right hand of God

Or rather, a madman

Colin’s thoughts and obsessions are beyond the grasp of ordinary minds

Is that kindhearted doctor who blew the whistle still in Sea City?I asked, harboring a sea of doubts within

I don’t trust Colin; sometimes, his murderous intent is too intense. I once asked him if he’d ever killed anyone. He hesitated and didn’t answer, which was basically evasion

So, has he killed? What exactly is his connection to the orphanage serial murderer

The doctor is still in Sea City,Eric nodded

I breathed a sigh of relief. There were also witnesses from back then; it would make the investigation much smoother

Let’s head back,I said, fearing Colin might spiral into madness upon waking

Eric nodded. Ma’am, the reason I brought you here is to help you understand him better. Mr. Caleb is a pitiful man; he needs someone to care for him and love him incessantly.” 

I understood what Eric meant; he thought I could be Colin’s salvation. After all, we were now husband and wife

But I can’t be Colin’s salvation. Colin needs love, and I can’t give him that. All I can offer is my goodwill. And all I can do is pray, pray that Colin isn’t one of the orphanage murderers

But after visiting the mental institution today, fear has crept into me

I’m afraid Colin really has killed. Afraid he’s indeed linked to the serial killings

And if I do find out he’s a murderer, what then? Turn him over to the cops

On the way back, I was poring over the old records and posts from St. Aria Psychiatric Center

The whistleblower was a wellintentioned doctor who, for the sake of the patients, reported his name, angered the director and his colleagues, and suffered a car accident that left him with a limping leg

On Twitter, someone asked the doctor if he regretted putting himself and his family in danger

The doctor replied that someone had to take a stand

Someone had to bear the brunt. There had to be light in the darkness

Ma’amwe’re here.” 

Chapter 142 

The car had come to a stop, but I was still engrossed in the posts

Many shared their nightmarish experiences at St. Aria, recounting how the director enjoyed tormenting the goodlooking ones and how the real lunatics and perverts were the doctors themselves

I couldn’t bear to think of what Colin, with his good looks, might have endured there. He’s the type who wouldn’t give in even if beaten to death, always resisting

That would provoke those bastardsanimalistic side, pushing them to torture him even more wildly

Just reading the posts sent shivers down my spine, adrenaline coursing through me
