The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 255

Melinda's parents exchanged a glance, and Maria started sobbing, saying, "My sweet girl, you're my own flesh and blood. Your death has left me heartbroken. You just left us like this and it broke our hearts." Maria was crying her heart out, slumped on the ground, beating her own legs helplessly.

Jay was equally a wreck, sobbing, "My poor Melinda, got into trouble at their club and didn't even get a dime in compensation. How are your mother and I supposed to carry on?"

In this situation, no one could console them; even the cops were at a loss for words. Their daughter had died, and their grief was only natural.

Anastasia was helpless too. She'd never seen parents this cold-hearted. At this time, they were trying to take advantage of their daughter's death.

The cops came over and said, "Melinda's suicide has been thoroughly investigated. It was indeed suicide, not murder. Her body is at the morgue, and you're free to take it for burial."

At the mention of taking the body for burial, Jay had a strong reaction, "No way."

Maria also chimed in, "No."

Their greed, preference for their son, and cold attitude towards their daughter reveal the ugly side of human nature without any disguise.

The cops continued, "The case can be closed now. You have to take the body."

In his desperation, Jay blurted out, "That's not possible. My son is getting married next month. How can we bring a corpse home? That's very unlucky."

This statement shocked everyone present. Was this something a father would say? His daughter had died, and he didn't want to take her home for burial because she was unlucky?

Jay also realized that he shouldn't have said that and hastily added, "If you're saying it's a closed case, how can we believe that? My daughter wouldn't kill herself. It must be a murder. You cops have to investigate it thoroughly."
