Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace ( Dexter )
Chapter 161

Chapter 161 

Seeing me lost in thought, the little boy charged over and wrapped his arms around my legs, clinging on for dear life 

“Hey there, buddy, how about we get you home, okay?” the female officer coaxed gently. 

The little boy shook his head as he cried, refusing to let go of my legs. 

I felt bewildered and helpless as I looked up at Colin.. 

In that moment, my heart raced with panic. These two kids, they definitely knew me. The one who had been coaxed into trying to off Melody, and this little tyke right here. 

“He seems to take a shine to you, you could take him home,” Colin stepped forward, shielding the view between Robin and me. 

I felt guilty, afraid that Robin would see right through me. 

“Since the kiddo’s taken a liking to you, you can take him home for now if you are up to it,” Robin relented. 

I breathed a sigh of relief as well and reached out for the little boy’s hand. “Would you like to go home with me?” I asked. 

He nodded obediently. 

“What’s your name?” I squatted down to ask him. 

His eyes were big as he stared at me for a moment before speaking up intelligently. “My name’s Abdul.” 

I smiled, “What a good boy, Abdul.” 

Holding my hand tightly, Abdul didn’t let go. 

Robin and the policewoman walked away, and Eric, after receiving a call, was already on his way to pick us up. 

“Miss Foebe…” As soon as the cops left, Abdul hid behind me, fearfully gazing at Colin. 

He was scared of Colin. 

Colin, too, looked back at Abdul with an icy stare. 

“Don’t like him much?” I ventured to ask. 

Colin looked away, feigning innocence and compassion, “No way, I even take care of the stray dogs around here.” 

But by comparing Abdul to a stray dog, I could sense Colin’s dislike. 

Abdul didn’t take to Colin either, always eyeing him warily. 

As I took Abdul’s hand to get into the car, I noticed Colin standing 

his head and remained motionless. 

“Getting in?” I asked with a confused look. 

Suddenly, he reached out his hand to me, “You promised you wouldn’t lose me. How could 

hold another kid’s hand?” 

you 

I felt helpless but, considering Colin’s special circumstances, I had no choice but to coax him., “Come on, let’s get in the car.” 

Colin looked at my outstretched hand and took it. 

Then, he glared at Abdul provocatively, “Let go, she’s mine.” 

Abdul, terrified, hid behind me but stood his ground with Colin, “No way, Miss Foebe is mine.” That confirmed it for me; this kid definitely knew Foebe Larson. 

I was scared the truth about Foebe would come out, so I hurried them both into the car. 

“Miss Foebe, can you tell the cops to let my brother go? He was just trying to get money for my meds, Abdul said cautiously. 

I looked down, didn’t know what to say. 

“Abdul… how do we know each other?” Along the way, I whispered to him on the sly. 

“Miss Foebe?” Abdul looked at me, speaking in a hushed tone. “Are we still pretending not to know each other, even now?” 

My heart skipped a beat. I’m done, I thought. Not only did he know Foebe, but she had also told this kid to pretend not to know her in front of others. 

Now, I was even more certain that Foebe and the murderer were connected. 

Back home, the butler had prepared a lavish breakfast. After we finished, the day had brightened. 

Abdul wolfed down his food. He was obviously famished for a long time. 

Colin kept his head down, eating his own meal as he occasionally glanced at me. 

“If I can’t finish, then can I take/it with me?” Abdul seemed to have other concerns while he was pointing to the leftovers. 

I nodded, instructing the housekeeper to pack up the rest for Abdul. 

I wanted to uncover other secrets this kid might be hiding. I needed to get this through. 

After breakfast, I coaxed Colin into taking his sedative and sent him off to sleep. 

Once Colin was asleep, I stealthily followed Abdul. 

Chapter 161 

Leaving the Langley household, he darted into an alley and wound his way through the 

streets. 

I kept chasing him until my legs became sore. 

Finally, in an abandoned factory, I found Abdul and about seven or eight other kids, all around 

his age.
