NovelEnglishChapter 473 My gaze instinctively found Colin.
When Melody was pretending to be Phoebe, I wasn't really panicking. Only a fool like Dexter would fall for that.....
But when even Dexter didn't buy into Melody's act, I knew her disguise gwas weak.
Damian, using Melody to impersonate a reborn Phoebe, aimed to deceive Dexter and Colin. But with Melody's lackluster acting and brainpower...
Logically, with Damian's smarts, he shouldn't have made such a basic mistake. Yet, he let Melody go through with it.
Hannah kept saying her dad was one of the good guys, siding with Phoebe's parents, protecting Phoebe...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking back, Damian seemed more like a whistleblower, deliberately using someone as clueless as Melody to catch our attention... Perhaps he was hinting at something bigger within the organization, that there wasn't just one 'Phoebe Caldwell'.
My gaze instinctively found Colin again, my hand clutching his nervously.
If it was just Melody, that would be one thing, but what if there really was another Phoebe? Considering Phoebe was a subject of experimentation, the similarity between her and a hypothetical identical twin could be striking.
"I want to meet her," Colin finally said, expressing his desire to meet this Phoebe.
My fingers stiffened momentarily before slowly releasing Colin's wrist.
Naomi smiled and signaled for Colin to follow her. "Let's go." Colin cast a comforting glance my way.
I grabbed his wrist again, looking at Naomi. "I'm coming too." Naomi didn't object, as if she had anticipated this.
Robin and Finn exchanged looks, frowning. "We're coming along." Naomi glanced at Robin. "Sorry, Officer Robin, my car's full." Robin, snuffing out his cigarette in Finn's hand, spoke up firmly. "My SUV's got space. Caleb and Foebe can ride with me; we'll follow you." "I'm in!" Bran exclaimed, raising his hand like a schoolkid.
Naomi smiled without protest and got into her car.
Anthony cursed under his breath, wanting to say more, but Henry held him back.
Colin and I got into Robin's SUV.
Meanwhile, Finn, finally catching on, started cursing. "Robin! You're crossing the line, I'm your superior, your direct boss!" Robin glanced at Finn. "Sorry, boss, slipped my mind. Thought this was the trash can for a sec." After that, Robin hopped into his SUV.
Finn, fuming, was grabbed by the collar by Bran. "Cut it out, get serious, get in." Finn, collar in Bran's grasp, turned to see this high school kid talking to him like he was soothing a child. He felt utterly demeaned today.
"Bran, letask you something..." Finn, softening his tone before getting into the car, seemed to be questioning himself too. "When I was investigating the organization's base, stumbled upon experiments on soul rebirth and memory transfer... Do you think, souls can really be reborn?" Bran paused, looking at Finn. "Theoretically, souls might exist in another form after leaving the body." Finn shivered, clasping his hands together. "Bless me." Then, he made a sign of the cross, moving his hand up, down, left, and right. "Amen..." "May I be spared from any vengeful spirits." Finn muttered. "May my name, given by the guru, protectfrom being haunted by Carter."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBran, looking at Finn as if he's seen a ghost himself, shoved him into the passenger seat then casually took his place in the middle, betweenand Colin. I blinked, glancing between Colin and Bran.
Bran seemed oblivious to the awkwardness.
Colin appeared distracted, gazing out the window.
I had wanted to sit close to Colin, but his distraction madeuneasy.
Was he having doubts? Or did he believe what Naomi said?
"When Phoebe's body was found, the medical examiner noticed the features Dexter mentioned. “Robin started cautiously, peeking at Colin through the rearview mirror, wary of upsetting him. "A mole on her left chest, a birthmark near her groin." Colin's grip visibly tightened, the atmosphere in the car dropping to a chill.
"Even if identical twins look alike, it's impossible for them to share such exact birthmarks. You knew Phoebe since you were kids, did she have these birthmarks?" Robin prodded gently. Colin remained silent, not responding.
I turned away, looking out the window.
Colin cherished 'Phoebe Caldwell' too much. Back then, he never crossed boundaries with Phoebe, how could he possibly know about private birthmarks?
