Chapter 2058
Rosalynn stepped forward. Gently, she took Trista who was waving her chubby little hands in the air, from Paige's arms. She then planted a soft kiss on Trista's cherubic cheeks. "Why did you bring her to the hospital?" Rosalynn asked, her tone slightly reproachful.
"Trista wanted to come; Paige replied with a laugh. "She missed you!" She then lightly poked her daughter's tosy cheeks, "Isn't that right, Trista?"
Trista, however, was too young to confirm or deny this. She merely drooled and babbled in response to her mother's smile..
"See, my little girl agrees!"
Rosalynn's hand, placed on Trista's back, gently rubbed it a couple of times.
"Do you think Cory and Ivy noticed anything?" Rosalynn had called both her children, telling them that she and their father had urgent matters to attend to.
"No.' Paige shook her head. "Ivy even told me that you two have gone to enjoy some alone time."
Rosalynn let out a wry smile.
The night was getting chilly, and Rosalynn didn't want Trista to stay outside for long. She handed her over to Baillie to take back to the car.
She and Paige, meanwhile, took a leisurely stroll around the hospital grounds.
"How is he doing?" Paige asked.
"He's doing quite well" answered Rosalynn. "He just wants to go home."
"IL heard from Baillie that he needs to be hospitalized for the treatment,' Paige said, her voice filled with concern.
"Will Wayne agree?"
"He doesn't need to." Rosalynn's tone was flat.
Paige was taken aback, "Do you intend to force him to go for the treatment?"
"Yes." Rosalynn confirmed. "If he doesn't listen to reason, then I'll exercise my rights as his wife and make him go.
"It seems like we don't have any other choice." Paige held Rosalynn's hand, gently stroking the back of it. "Do whatever you feel is right, don't worry about anything else. If the sky falls, Baillie and I will hold it up for you."
Rosalynn looked at Paige and managed a smile, "Don't worry, the sky won't fall. It's not such a big deal."
"You're right, what haven't you overcome in all these years?"
Rosalynn nodded in agreement. "Alright, you still need to rest. We have plenty of people here, you should go home with Baillie. Don't come back tomorrow, once his test results come out, I'll take him home." "Home?" Paige was surprised. Wasn't the plan to force him into treatment?
"I promised him and the twins a family camping trip. Everything's ready, so I was thinking we could do that before he gets admitted to the hospital."
"But what if he has a relapse? He's hurt you before during his episodes!" Paige was worried the children might get hurt or scared.
"Penn has provided some suppressants that will last us for the trip" Rosalynn reassured her.
Paige was still worried, but she knew Penn was a top expert in his field. His medication should work. "Alright" Paige nodded. 'I'll take Trista home first, and we'll see you when you get back tomorrow."
"Sure, Rosalynn gently patted Paige's head. "By the way, how's Jaime doing?"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Paige sighed, "He's been cooped up in his room all day."
"Has he eaten?"
"Laura said he took a lot of food with him when he locked himself in."
Rosalynn shook her head with a smile, "That's just like Jaime, never forgetting to feed his belly."
When their grandfather passed away, one of his last words to Jaime was to always eat well...
"Don't worry, Jaime is smart. He's just confused for now, and he'll figure things out,' Paige whispered.
"Right." Rosalynn then escorted Paige to her car.
As the car started to move, the window rolled down and Paige, holding Trista's tiny hand, waved goodbye to Rosalynn, who waved back with a smile. Once Paige and Trista had left, the night seemed to truly fall.
