Granny Owens cast a warm glance toward Rose and thanked her with genuine affection.
Rose responded with a smile, insisting it was the least she could do.
But beneath her lowered eyelids hid a disdain Granny Owens couldn't possibly detect.
Rose had a strong aversion to such elderly folks.
Whenever she looked at them, her thoughts would inadvertently shift to Natalie.
For a long while, Rose had harbored gratitude towards Natalie for taking in both her and her mother. But then, an epiphany struck her.d2
Had Natalie not meddled in Ayden and Betsy's relationship, perhaps their story wouldn't have ended in such a tragic mess.
Her life, and her mother's, wouldn't have spiraled into the chaos that ensued.
Gradually, her gratitude waned, and Natalie became an object of scorn and loathing for Rose.
To keep Baillie from making a fuss over it, Granny Owens had refrained from telling him that her discharge from the hospital was today.
So, the driver was the one waiting downstairs to pick up Granny Owens.
Paige and Rosalynn were both concerned about Granny Owens returning to live alone, so they decided to temporarily take her to Moonlit Lake.
Upon hearing of Granny Owens's illness, Kate had repeatedly insisted that this year, for the holiday season, Baillie and Paige should bring the old lady over to Norhaven to celebrate.
Back at Moonlit Lake, after Paige had settled Granny Owens in, she sought out Rosalynn at the cabin.
"You're always here lately," Paige said, crossing her legs and sitting opposite Rosalynn. "Is Wayne really coming back at the end of the month?"
