His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 892

Sue shook her head. "I have no clue either. The police just called me. We'll find out what's going on after we get there."

"Wait for me. I'll get the car keys," Sheryl replied. After getting the car from Abby, she drove Sue to the police station as fast as she could. Just before Sue was to enter the main gate, Sheryl pulled her back by her arm in worry.

"Mimi, wait. I have to remind you." Looking at Sue in care and concern, she continued, "You're pregnant now. You have to put the baby first. No matter what happens, you have to stay calm. Don't get angry, okay?"

"I know," Sue agreed. Of course, she knew that she had to control her temper for the baby's sake. Still, she also knew that sometimes, things were out of her control. She had no idea what was waiting for her, and she couldn't anticipate how exactly she would react either. Driving the thoughts away, she stepped inside with Sheryl.

A policeman led them into a small room. He sat on one side while the two girls sat on the opposite side, feeling confined in the small space. They couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Allen, who had always considered Doris a priority, would take her life. He had shown absolutely no sign of doing such a thing. It was astonishing news, as no one ever expected it to happen.

For formalities' sake, the policeman asked Sue some questions regarding Allen's recent behavior. Sue was as helpful as she could be as she told the policeman what she knew, which, unsurprisingly, revealed nothing about the motives behind the murder. After he was done, Sue had a question of her own. "Sir, you said that my brother has been accused of murdering Doris. Do you have any evidence?"

"I'm sorry. I cannot reveal our findings of the case to you," the policeman replied solemnly. "All I can share with you is that their neighbors heard them quarreling, after which, Allen ran out of the house covered in blood. Along with him was with your mother, Peggy. We're looking for them now. We called you in to get more details about both the suspect and the victim, and to tell you to inform us as soon as possible if you have any clue whatsoever about where they are."

After a pause, he gave her a strange look and continued, "Or… if they come to you, please do not hesitate to tell us. They are now suspects of a murder case and have the potential to harm you as well. For your safety, please don't hide them from us."

"How is that even possible?" Sue suddenly shouted in her disbelief of the whole situation. "I know my brother. He would never say 'no' to that woman, not to mention after she got pregnant. No matter how angry he was, he couldn't have killed his baby! It's a mistake!"

He was her brother, after all, and she knew her brother. He might have had the guts to commit some wrongdoings, but she couldn't believe that he was capable of murder.

"It is a possibility," he replied flatly. "A thorough investigation is being conducted. If he didn't kill her, we will not accuse him falsely. But he ran away, which makes him more suspicious. Why else would he run? Don't you think it's worth a second thought?"

Having been so focused on denying that her brother could be capable of murder, that thought never crossed her mind. She was so overwhelmed with shock and disbelief that she couldn't even slightly consider the strong cause of the police's suspicion. Now that he pointed it out, she had nothing more to say to defend Allen.

"Anyway, if you have any information on their whereabouts, do inform us right away. Understand?" the policeman again reminded the two.

"Okay, we will," Sue agreed with a nod.

After the session with the police, Sue was left feeling lethargic. She absentmindedly scratched her head as she thought hard for any possible reason Allen would want Doris gone. She couldn't figure anything out. Allen's temperament was far from good, but... not to the extent of murdering someone, his baby nonetheless.

Did something unthinkable happen that she had no clue of?

As they walked out of the police station, Sue and Sheryl saw a person rushing towards them. It was Anthony. Without even a glance at Sheryl, he practically ran towards Sue and embraced her tightly. "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly with an ever gentle voice.

"I'm fine," Sue answered him, emotionless. Slightly pushing him away, she wondered what brought him there. "Why are you here, Anthony?" she asked curiously.

"I heard about the incident. I tried calling you, but you weren't picking up. I guessed you might be called in by the police, so I came here. What's going on now? Did they tell you anything?" Anthony explained, still in a rush.

"It's a long story." Sue smiled wryly. It wasn't a pleasant thing to tell and she didn't know where to start.

Reading their mood, Sheryl thought the other two might need some space for a private conversation. "Since Anthony is here, I'll go first," she excused herself. "Anthony, I'll leave Sue to you." She turned to him with a serious look.
