Jameson nodded, replying, "It's been like that for days."
"And she just clutches any old pill bottle in her palm?" Rosalynn continued to inquire.
Jameson shook his head, "No, just the kind of white pill bottles you see in the videos, she doesn't hold onto anything else."
He paused and then added, "After great-grandmother got a bit muddled, she once mischievously opened a pill bottle and took medicine at random, nearly paid with her life. I gave her a good talking-to, and since then she hasn't touched any of the bottles around the house."
"I see." Rosalynn smiled and nodded.
They had reached the hotel entrance by then.d2
"You'll keep the vigil tonight. If any of your relatives give you trouble while I'm not there, Felix will have your back," Rosalynn said softly, "After the funeral, I'll have the lawyer straighten out all your disputes." "Mom already told me." Jameson looked at Rosalynn, his voice suddenly choked, "The things my great-grandmother didn't want to give them, I won't back down!"
"Good boy." Rosalynn's smile was gentle as she patted Jameson's arm, "Go back now."
Jameson nodded and then turned, disappearing into the night.
The two kids also watched his retreating figure.
"Are you guys tired?" Rosalynn asked, pulling them along gently.
"Not at all." They shook their head.
Rosalynn led them to their hotel room.
With only her brother and mom around, little Ivy was non-stop chatter.
"These people are so mean!"

"That boy is so handsome, how could they slap his face? That's just wrong!"
"You can't hit someone anywhere, it's not right even if they're not good-looking," Rosalynn lightly patted her behind, "You're picking up bad habits from your great-grandma, focusing on looks!"
"Mommy, you love handsome guys, too. You can tell just by how handsome Dad is!" Ivy retorted with a sly grin.
Rosalynn laughed, then she turned to Cory, "Look at your sister, she's becoming quite the little scholar, able to draw her own conclusions!"
Cory just smiled. He quietly peeled an orange and divided it in half, handing a piece to his mom and sister.
Ivy, who claimed not to be tired, fell into a deep sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow after her bath.
Cory, on the other hand, waited until she was asleep before tugging at Rosalynn's hand.
"What is it?" Rosalynn leaned in, touching her nose to his.
Cory had been in a foul mood all day, and Rosalynn could feel it, so she had made sure he didn't have to spend too much time with the Davis family. His dislike for Jameson's relatives was no secret.
"I saw the full name of the grandmother at the wake and looked it up on Uncle's search engine, and I found these," Cory handed his phone to Rosalynn. Rosalynn took it and looked at him in surprise, "How did you think to check this?"
"I don't believe Jameson and his parents would steal. If something's truly missing, we have to investigate."
Rosalynn stroked Cory's head, "My son is so smart!"
The phone screen displayed a long list of donation records.
The donor was always Brisa, with the least valuable donation being eight thousand dollars, and the most expensive a pair of bracelets valued at over seven hundred thousand.
The recipients were all charitable organizations, and the beneficiaries were all preschool-age girls, with the donations almost entirely aimed at education and living expenses.
Brisa, having been with Natalie for so long, had also become very meticulous.
These recipient organizations were all legitimate, with legally effective documentation available in online databases.
This evidence was more than enough to shut up Jameson's relatives.
"Mommy," Cory looked at Rosalynn, "I'll never fight with my sister over any inheritance, and I'll earn lots of money for her."
Rosalynn immediately embraced him, smiling at her son's serious expression, "Mommy isn't worried about that. My treasures are the best in the world. You'll always love and support each other, even when Mommy and Daddy are gone. I know you will."
