Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 427



Silas paused for a moment before lifting his gaze to meet Robin's, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

He lowered his head, his voice barely above a whisper. "I'm sorry..."

He had said sorry.

But sometimes, sorry means nothing in the face of real harm.

If they all perished on the fourteenth floor, he'd be the most selfish villain of them all.

Stella, reluctantly, threw down the rope.

Melody's will to survive was strong; she frantically grabbed the rope first, looking anxiously at Dexter. "Dexter... you know I can't die."

"Melody's one of Damian's, she knows the secrets of the 'deification project"." Dexter glanced at me, seemingly waiting for my nod of approval.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"She won't survive this, but I'm confident we can uncover it," I said coolly.

"Yeah, we can find out," Colin added, agreeing.

Melody's voice trembled with fear. "Foebe... don't push it."

"Me? Pushing it?" I laughed, looking down at Melody. "When you tricked Phoebe into that trap, letting her get killed, did you ever think you were going too far?"

Melody's face grew even more distressed, desperately seeking Dexter's help.

Stella sneered. "You're getting what you deserve. Did you think about this day when you got Phoebe killed?" Stella spoke through clenched teeth. "That guy, Silas, you better come up now, or you'll die with her."

Silas quickly stepped forward, but the rope was still in Melody's grip.

I thought, given Silas's survival instinct, he'd push Melody aside and climb up himself, but he didn't.

He looked up at us, clearly struggling.

After all, Silas's survival until now wasn't just luck...

Was there someone behind him, thinking he could still be saved?

"Ding! Twelfth floor, automatic self-destruct mechanism activated..."

Suddenly, a mechanical voice announced the activation of a self-destruct mechanism on the twelfth floor.

In an instant, everyone's nerves were on edge.

With the countdown ending, the floor of the twelfth level cracked and slowly started to collapse.

"Come on up!" Robin and Finn yelled in panic.

In this extreme chaos, Silas still managed to pull Melody up first.

"Silas!" Robin called out.

Silas fell into the rubble, rocks hitting him, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Tears filled his eyes as he looked up at us, his voice breaking. "I really... just wanted to live... I realize my mistake... I just want to survive..." He just wanted to live.

"Grab on!" After pulling Melody up, Robin threw the rope down again.

Crying, Silas reached out, and just as the floor fully collapsed, he grabbed the rope.

"I was abandoned at birth by my

birth mother she was a college girl, got pregnant before marriage... I heard from the orphanage director, she gave birth to me in a mall bathroom, or maybe it was some clinic, then left me in the bathroom."

"This caused a big scandal at the time. A couple who had been unable to conceive for years decided to adopt me. At first, they were really good to me, raised me until I was ten... maively thought they were my real parents. But when I turned ten, they suddenly got pregnant, with twins. They felt raising three kids was beyond what their family could handle..."

"So, they sent me to an orphanage, saying they weren't really abandoning me, but because of financial pressures. They said they'd take me back once things got better..."

Silas was hurt, and after being pulled up, he leaned against the wall, trembling as he recounted his past.

His breathing was labored, and I could tell his ribs were likely broken.

If we didn't get him medical attention soon... the broken ribs could pierce his lungs or heart... he could die.

"I waited for them in the orphanage,

one day... two days, three days... I

always waited, just wanting to survive, Waiting for my parents to

e for me... but they never did.

come

They even moved away, to a place I couldn't find... they didn't want me anymore."
