As the year drew to a close, Rosalynn was caught up in the whirlwind of corporate affairs, but she still made time to visit Granny Owens at the hospital twice a week.

She and Baillie had consulted with experts from all corners of the globe, assembling them in Harbor City to craft what seemed to be the most effective treatment plan for Granny Owens. After a stay of over two weeks in the hospital, the much-awaited day of Granny Owens's discharge finally arrived.

Rosalynn had just wrapped up a business trip in Bridgeport. Her plane had barely touched down when she raced to the hospital, with her faithful assistant Rose in tow.

When Rosalynn mentioned picking up Paige's grandmother, Rose had eagerly volunteered to join.

Upon arrival at the hospital, Rose proved to be a helpful presence, encouraging Rosalynn to stay with Granny Owens in the room while she took care of the discharge paperwork.d2 Watching Rose's diligence, Paige couldn't help but praise her to Rosalynn, "She may not have Lola's knack for work, but her attitude is spot on. With the right guidance, she could really shine." Rosalynn nodded with a smile, "I'm working on that. I take her everywhere with me. There's this new project at Energy Corporation. After this month, once she passes the assessment, I plan to let her lead a team."

Paige thought Rosalynn referred to a standard performance review, but she was still astonished, "The projects at Energy Corporation are plum jobs, but they're tough nuts to crack. Is she up for it?" "We'll see when she gets there," Rosalynn replied as she sliced a peeled apple, speared a piece with a fork, and offered it to Granny Owens with a warm smile, "Granny, this apple is sweet. Give it a try!" Granny Owens had always been fond of Rosalynn. Back when Paige was still with the Suttons, it was Rosalynn's protection that spared her from untold harassment.

It was also Rosalynn who had revealed to her Paige's true predicament within the Sutton household.

Grateful for Rosalynn's kindness, Granny Owens's affection had always lingered.

But now, advanced in years, the most she could do for the younger generation was shower them with love, especially Cory, Ivy, and Trista.

During the holidays, she was known for giving generous gifts.

Granny Owens took a bite of the apple, her mouth lately soured by the constant taste of medicine. The tartness of the apple melted into juice, easing the bitterness a little.

"How's Mr. Silverman been doing? I heard he's been abroad for a while?" Granny Owens asked with concern, eyeing Rosalynn, "Is he still unwell?"

"Granny..." Paige started to intervene.

But Rosalynn continued with a gentle smile, "Yes, he's had some health issues and has been receiving treatment in Germany these past few months. But he's almost fully recovered and should be back by the end of the month if all goes well!"

"Oh, that's wonderful! It" be just in time for Christmas!" Granny Owens beamed with relief.

Paige looked at Rosalynn in shock; she hadn't been aware of this development.

In the presence of her grandmother, however, she refrained from questioning Rosalynn.

Outside the room.

Rose returned with the paperwork, having overheard the conversation between Rosalynn and Granny Owens.

Lately, news about Wayne had been scarce, especially since Penn's lab had been sealed off. Letho, the pharmacist, was only allowed access during restricted hours.

Rose, however, had her ways. She had casually asked a friendly nurse about her plans for the upcoming holiday season, pretending she wanted to plan a vacation together.

Soon enough, the nurse shared her entire months' vacation schedule with Rose.

What did this mean? It meant that Wayne was indeed getting discharged soon.

"Ms. Tesdal, President Owens, all the paperwork is sorted," Rose announced, knocking and stepping into the room.
