"It is time. This is fate. I have done all the good I could. From now on, there is nothing left between me and the Orville Family."
My mother-in-law realized that she could not change my mind as her face turned even whiter.
After a long silence, she tried to find another reason to make me stay a little longer.
"Joanne, as Alex’s mother, you must attend your child's funeral, right?"
"I know you are very sad, so I will take care of everything. You only need to come on time, please, I beg you … "
I understood very clearly that she only wanted me to stay a few more days, using the funeral as an excuse. The more days I stayed in the Orville Family home, the slower the curse would spread and hurt them. However, I shook my head stiffly and looked at my son's cold body.
"There is no need. I will take Alex’s body back to the old mansion. According to the ancestral rules of royal embalming and bury him there."
"This place is not good for Alex. Besides, it is also not a good place for me either."
Seeing how firm I was, my mother-in-law finally gave up trying to convince me.
