Single Dad Helps Old Lady Mow Her Lawn, Soon Gets a Call from Her Lawyer

Felix rushes to help when he sees his elderly neighbor struggling to cut her overgrown lawn. She forces an unusual antique box on him as a token of her appreciation but the gift lands Felix in deep trouble when her lawyer phones to request an urgent meeting.
Felix was going through the monthly figures for his handyman business when the growl of a lawnmower drew his attention. He peeked through his kitchen window and was shocked to see elderly Mrs. McAllister struggling to control her lawnmower with one hand while using her cane with the other.
When Felix caught up to her Mrs. McAllister was red in the face and sweating profusely. She switched the lawnmower off.
Felixis theresomethingI can helpyou with? she panted.
Step aside and let me help you! Honestly Mrs. McAllister your son should be helping you with these chores. It aint right to let your elderly Mom struggle alone.
After a long morning cutting and raking the tall damp grass Mrs. McAllister invited Felix inside for a glass of lemonade. He was astonished by the dusty clutter of knickknacks dirt and cobwebs in her home. It seemed to Felix that his kindhearted neighbor couldnt take care of herself anymore.
Here you go dear. Mrs. McAllister placed a glass of lemonade on the table.
I also want you to have this. Its an antique thats been passed down in my family.
Felix frowned at the metal box she held out to him. It had an odd set of dials on the lid and was surprisingly heavy.
I dont need a fancy gift for such a simple task Mrs. McAllister. Felix handed the box back to her.
Mrs. McAllister frowned with disappointment. She insisted he take something for his troubles and fetched a grocery bag filled with apples for his daughter Suzie. Afterward she slumped into her armchair with a loud groan clearly exhausted
Felix insisted that Mrs. McAllister call him next time she needed help and left her to rest. Later that day Suzie rushed up to Felix with an excited grin.
Dad look what I found under the apples Mrs. McAllister gave us! She showed him the same strange metal box. I think these dials are a combination lock but I cant open it.
Im sorry Suzie I know you love old puzzle boxes and things but we arent keeping this. He held out his hand for the box. Im going to return it to Mrs. McAllister.
Suzie was deeply upset but Felix insisted. He marched back to Mrs. McAllisters house with the box but she didnt answer the door. With a frustrated groan he tried the door handle. He yelled to Mrs. McAllister that he was coming in to return her box safely then stepped inside.
Mrs. McAllisters body was slumped in the armchair. Her eyes stared at the wall unseeing and empty.
Mrs. McAllister! Felix shouted as he rushed to her side but it was no good Mrs. McAllister was gone.
Felix forgot about the box until much later when he realized it was in his pocket. On a whim he searched online for similar antique boxes. He swore when he finally found a match.
This box was worth 250000!
Felix hadnt wanted to keep the box but he couldnt return it anymore and that amount of money would secure Suzies future. He had to sell it for Suzies sake. In the meanwhile Felix stored the box in a safe place. A few days later Felix got a strange phone call.
This is Tim Mrs. McAllisters lawyer. Id like to meet with you as soon as possible. Are you available now?
Tims urgency made Felix wary but he agreed to meet the lawyer at a
