Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace (Dexter) novel Chapter 235

Chapter 235 

Based on the clues at hand, it was clear that Foebe had intentionally imitated me, and her plan to ensnare Colin by doing so was undeniable. 

But why had she expended so much effort only to choose to swallow pills on her wedding day? 

Colin didn’t seem as surprised as I would’ve expected. Could it be that he had some inkling that Foebe was on a path to self–destruction? 

“Foebe, I’m off to work now. Call me if you need anything.” 

I nodded to the familiar face as she headed upstairs. 

“Aren’t you shocked? Why would Foebe grab all those pills?” I whispered to Colin. 

Colin looked down, his grip on my hand tightening. “Who would want to marry me?” 

I was taken aback, almost missing the gravity of his question.

I waved her off. “That’s not what I mean. I woke up that day, forgetting a lot of things. Do you know why I was so desperate?” 

The nurse opened her mouth, then finally spoke in a hushed tone. “Foebe, have you lost your memory?” 

I nodded. 

“You mentioned your grandma pressuring you to do things you didn’t want to, and your biological parents urging you to marry someone you didn’t love. You said you felt threatened by everyone. But you didn’t tell me the specific details.” 

I was stunned for a moment, then nodded again. “Thank you.” 

“Foebe, it’s nothing big, don’t take it to heart. Didn’t you say you liked to write in a journal when
