Cory remained silent.
After a moment, he spoke, "Mom and Dad are gonna live to a ripe old age. By then, we'll all be gray and old."
Rosalynn was caught off guard by such a remark from her son. She hugged him tighter and whispered, "That's right, sweetheart."
After tucking Cory in and dimming the bedroom lights, Rosalynn settled into the cozy armchair by the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Penn had texted her half an hour earlier.
He sent pictures of the medication Ayden had been taking, showing several bottles.d1
Except for one amber-colored bottle, the rest were white and about the same size as the ones Brisa had been handling in the video.
This further confirmed Rosalynn's suspicions.
Brisa must have stumbled upon some clue back in the day, but wasn't certain about it, so she didn’t tell anyone about it. As she grew older and her mind got hazy, that small obsession must've surfaced from her subconscious.
But wait...That's not right, Rosalynn thought. Was it something about the medication Ayden was taking that was off, or was it something else?
As she pondered, her phone buzzed twice with a WhatsApp notification.
Exiting the chat with Penn, she saw two unread messages from Jameson.
Rosalynn initially thought there was some urgent matter at the funeral home, but upon opening the message, she read...
[Ma'am, I was just going through the photo album, and came across a video clip. Maybe it could help with what you're investigating.]
Jameson had been reminiscing about his great-grandmother and was browsing through videos of her when this particular clip caught his attention.
The content of the conversation raised his suspicions, prompting him to immediately send the video to Rosalynn.
