NovelApexChapter 1285:
Collin was different.
Being the firstborn in the Riley family, he carried a different weight on his shoulders. Even if Alfredo never
showed him much affection, at least Ivy and Roland stood by his side.
Linsey knew she had to make sure nothing happened to him.
She summoned all her courage, exhaled slowly, and pulled her hands away from the wheelchair. Then, she made
up her mind to leave the room.
Collin moved in a heartbeat, catching her arm and blurting out with genuine confusion, “Where do you think
you're going?”
“I'm going to confess. Maybe if | admit everything, they'll show smercy, and | won't have to face the
harshest punishment,” she said, her voice steady but low.
A chuckle slipped out of Collin before he could help himself.
Linsey frowned and asked, “What do you find so funny?” There was no trace of sarcasm in her tone; she meant
every word. Out of nowhere, Collin drew her into a gentle embrace.
He looked her in the eyes, the corners of his mouth curling up. “You makelaugh because you're just so
endearing,” he told her.
No one had ever offered to put their life on the line for him, and her sincerity struck a chord deep inside him.
Her cheeks flushed with confusion. Linsey stared at him, unsure how to respond to such praise.

Linsey shot him a doubtful look. “That's not true. | don’t believe you!”
He arched a brow and asked, “And why can’t you believe it?”
“There's blood on your shirt. That's proof you did it,” she replied, gesturing at the stains.
Glancing down, Collin noticed that his sleeves, which he had rolled up earlier, had slipped down and covered the
stains.

Tears spilled from Linsey’s eyes as she blurted out, “Collin, sometimes your bossiness makeswant to scream,
but right now, | can’t help feeling touched by what you've done. Still, taking a life is never justified. Please, let
Collin let out a long breath and said, “Felix is still alive, | never killed him. | only landed a few punches, and the
guy couldn't handle it. He coughed up sblood on my shirt, so | sent him straight to the hospital.”
Those words stopped Linsey’s sobs in their tracks. She sat frozen, stunned and speechless.

For a few heartbeats, Linsey just stared at the phone. Suddenly, she grabbed his arm and sank her teeth into
