Reborn in the Enemy's Embrace - Chapter 392

Chapter 392: CHAPTER 392 Chapter 392: CHAPTER 392 Dexter’s soul followed Sophia back to the mountaintop villa.

It was the place they once dreamed of calling home, one they would live out the rest of their lives together.

He was actually fond of quiet places like this.

He would be able to watch the scenery and the long, winding mountain road just by sitting in the courtyard.

“Sophia,” he softly called her name as he followed her around.

Sophia couldn’t hear or see him.

Dexter felt at a loss.

He failed to hug her multiple times and could only resort to following her around, watching her.

He couldn’t do anything else other than that.

However, this was more than enough for him.

Perhaps he had known that his soul would continue to exist in a different form after he died, so he wasn’t afraid of death.

Dexter figured that Sophia must have experienced the same thing when she died back then.

“You’re right by my side, right, Dexter?” she softly asked as she sat on a swing in the courtyard.

“I am.” Dexter smiled and sat beside her.

“I know you’re here.

You can hear me, right?

But you can’t touch me, and I can’t hear you either,” Sophia mumbled.

Dexter reached out to try and hug her.

Even though he couldn’t do it, he still wanted to hug her.

He said, “I’m here, Sophia.

I’m always here.” Dexter stayed right by Sophia’s side from that day onward.

He figured that he would be happy as long as she was happy and living freely.

However, he was also worried that she might do something rash.

She was being too calm now.

As expected, Sophia submerged herself in the bathtub.

He couldn’t do anything other than scream at her and watch her helplessly.

“Please, Sophia.

Please don’t do it,” Dexter crouched beside the bathtub and pleaded for her to stop.

He wanted to pull her out of the water, yet he couldn’t do anything without a physical body.

Just as Dexter was about to lose it, he suddenly felt Sophia’s soul sitting up from the water.

He looked at her with reddening eyes, their eyes met.

Within a split second, he hurriedly pushed her soul back under the water.

Fortunately, Sophia sat up from the water out of the sudden, chest heaving as she took deep breaths.

“Live your life well, Sophia,” Dexter said softly.

Sophia seemed a little different after she got up.

She sat in the water for the longest time, her mind wandering.

“Sophia?” Dexter tried to talk to her, but no response came.

How could two people from two different dimensions possibly communicate with each other?

“Dexter wouldn’t want you to continue being so stubborn, Sophia” Sophia and Joel had a fight one day.

Dexter was concerned for Joel.

If he was still there, he could still stop her, but now, Joel could only fend for himself.

As expected, Sophia’s knife went to his neck, almost piercing his throat.

Joel took in a sharp breath, while Dexter was also nervous for him.

The Sophia now had clearly regained all her memories.

“I” Before Joel could continue speaking, Sophia had knocked him unconscious in one smooth motion, showing no signs of hesitation.

Dexter bit on his fingers anxiously.

He found it terrifying and was worried that Joel might be dead just like that.

Sophia said, “Would you believe me if I said I’m not doing it on purpose?” Dexter nodded fearfully.

He dared not doubt her.

Dexter wanted to say something, but Sophia couldn’t hear him.

All he could do was to let her be.

He watched as she dragged him into the trunk and sped away in the car.

Dexter subconsciously reached for the seat belt in the passenger seat, but he gave up immediately when he realized he couldn’t touch it.

“Slow down, Sophia.

I’m fine, but Joel is still in the trunk.

He sounds like he’s about to die,” he mumbled.

Sophia couldn’t hear him anyway.

They could occasionally hear Joel’s fearful shrieks as she sped away on the uneven road toward the scrapyard.

When the car came to a stop, Sophia got out with a blank expression to open up the trunk.

Dexter was a little fearful, as she was currently like a heartless killer.

Worried about Joel’s safety, he hurriedly followed her out of the car.

Sophia walked over to the trunk and stopped for a bit before opening it.

Joel was curled up inside, looking somewhat pitiful.

He pretended not to move, wanting to escape whenever he could.

Dexter was originally worried that he might suddenly attack and hurt Sophia.

He did not expect her to come prepared.

Before Joel could even attack her, she covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, rendering him unconscious.

Dexter drew a sharp breath, wishing him all the best.

Sophia tied Joel up by his legs and dragged him up to a higher vantage before kicking him down.

She then hung him upside down by a rope on a container, using him as bait.

Dexter stood beneath and looked up at Joel.

He looked sorry as he said, “You just had to provoke her…” Carol’s men came over and managed to rescue Joel shortly after, whereas Sophia successfully caught Carol.

Dexter knew all along that once Sophia got serious, Carol wouldn’t be a match for her at all.

That was because she had never taken Carol seriously before.

Sophia, who wore a flat hat and dressed in all-black sportswear, boarded the cargo ship.

The ship was headed toward the high seas.

She was going to find Andy.

It did not matter if Jimmy was in hiding; she had her ways to locate him.

“Are you alone, miss?” The cargo ship headed toward the high seas had a mixed crowd.

“Take a guess,” Sophia replied coldly, stepping on her suitcase.

The man leaned closer with a smirk.

“You’re being mysterious.

What’s inside your suitcase?” Usually, only outlaws would venture out on the high seas like this, but what crime could a woman like Sophia have committed?

“What exactly did you do?” The man recklessly tried to get closer to her.

Dexter stood at the side and reached out to try to stop the man, yet he couldn’t do anything.

He could only watch as the man dug his own grave.

As expected, Sophia’s combat knife pierced through the man’s palm the next second.

She then sliced his throat in a swift motion.

The ship was filled with fugitives with death sentences from various countries.

There was no chance for her to stay safe if she did not completely eliminate someone as dangerous as this man.

The others weren’t strangers to seeing flesh being cut and blood pooling across the cabin.

The administrator came over and frowned at the body at his feet.

He then instructed the others to toss it into the high seas.

“Anyone who can get on this ship is willing to risk it all.

It’s better not to stir up trouble,” he advised everyone else not to provoke Sophia.

The others whispered among themselves before retreating to a corner, leaving her alone.

Sophia snorted before pulling the brim of her hat down.

She could finally get some shut- eye now.

“Keep watch for me, Dexter,” she softly mumbled.

Dexter sighed before sitting down next to Sophia.

“Alright, I’ll keep watch for you.

Sleep well.” Even though they couldn’t touch, they seemed to be communicating effortlessly.
