Love Comes Secretly After Their Contract Marriage novel Chapter 647

The ringtone was crisp, but at that moment, Yvonne somehow felt a little depressed and she had a bad feeling.

But she did not think too much as she took out her cell phone and took a glance before answering the call, "Officer Turner."

"Miss Smith, something happened and I hope you’re mentally prepared," the person on the other end of the phone said.

Yvonne frowned. "Mentally prepared?"

"Yes," Officer Turner responded.

Yvonne took a deep breath, "I'm ready. Go ahead."

"Okay, I'll say it then. Well, your father, Dominic Conrad, is dead," Officer Turner said.

Yvonne's mind started buzzing, and for a long time, she did not respond.

It took her a while before she managed to find her voice. "What did you say? He’s dead?"

"Yes. Please come to the police station. I'll tell you the details when you get here," Officer Turner replied.

Yvonne bit her lower lip. "Okay, I'll come over right away."

After she hung up, she put down the phone and she trembled slightly.

When Henry saw her like that, he felt sorry and held her in his arms. "What's the matter?"

She did not put the call on speaker earlier, so he did not hear it. He only heard her say that someone died.

"I'm fine." Yvonne pulled away from his arms and shook her head. "The call earlier was from Officer Turner. He told me that Dominic is dead."

"What?" Henry was also surprised when he heard that.

Dominic Conrad was dead?

"Really?" Henry asked.

Yvonne took a breath and exhaled, "Officer Turner wouldn't lie. Since he said that, it must be true. He asked me to go to the police station first and he’ll tell me the details."

"Let's go. I'll take you there." Henry took out the car key.

He heard her say that she would go over immediately.

Yvonne hummed and followed him to the parking lot.

An hour later, they arrived at the police station.

Officer Turner had been waiting for them. When he saw them coming, he got up to greet them.

Yvonne asked immediately, "Officer Turner, what happened exactly? How did he die?"

She knew that Dominic had cancer and would not live long, but it was absolutely impossible for him to die so soon.

Officer Turner sighed with sorrow, "Well, he committed suicide."

"Suicide?" Henry narrowed his eyes. "How did he commit suicide in prison?"

It would be impossible to have any murder weapon in prison and there were prison guards watching at all times, so there was no chance of suicide at all.

It would also be impossible to hit himself against a wall and die just like that. Things like that only happened on TV.

In reality, one wouldn’t get injured so easily just by hitting themselves against the wall. So hitting a wall would not cause death either. 1

Officer Turner waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down.

After they sat down, he said, "There is indeed nothing i n the prison that would allow him to commit suicide, but none of us would've known that he would make a weapon himself. He sharpened the other end of his toothbrush, inserted it into his throat, and bled to death."

The corner of Henry's mouth twitched.

He could not believe that was how Dominic committed suicide!

"Toothbrushes aren't easy to sharpen, so it's impossible to do that in a short period of time!" Yvonne looked at Officer Turner.

Officer Turner nodded. "Yes, it's impossible to do it in a short period of time, but what if he had a few days? After Dominic’s death, I specifically went to the prison to have a look. From what I gathered, Dominic would spend half an hour in the toilet every day. I'm guessing that maybe he would sharpen his toothbrush during that half an hour."
