Chapter 2061
"I had him run an errand for me, he won't be back for a while, are you looking for him?" Rosalynn responded nonchalantly.
Upon hearing that Ableson was out running an errand for Rosalynn, Wayne immediately shook his head. "No need to seek him out, as long as he's fine."
Wayne got into the car, while Rosalynn glanced back at Felix. They had agreed earlier that Felix would stay behind to keep an eye on Ableson, who was just barely out of the woods but still in severe condition. Felix nodded at Rosalynn, confirming their agreement, and then she got into the car.
"By the way, Paige and her families came back early" Rosalynn mentioned..
Wayne looked surprised, "I thought they are not coming back until couple of weeks?"
"Paige's company is breaking ground on a new building and there's a lot she needs to oversee. She couldn't wait and had to return" Rosalynn explained.
"Are they joining us for the camping trip tomorrow?"
"They won't be able to make it."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Rosalynn didn't want to burden Paige. Moreover, Paige wasn't good at hiding her emotions and if she gave anything away in front of Wayne, the camping trip wouldn't be fun anymore.
Perhaps due to the effects of the medication, Wayne seemed to be in high spirits. When they passed the famous H City dessert shop, Wayne hopped out of the car and bought a bunch of desserts. He got some for Rosalynn, some for Ivy, and a variety of others.
"Why doesn't Cory have any favorite treats?" Wayne mumbled, a hint of regret in his voice.
"Last time we went camping, Cory seemed to really enjoy your grilled skewers; Rosalynn said.
Wayne perked up at this, "Got it, I'll grill lots for him these next few days!"
Wayne seemed to be in the best spirits since his accident. When they arrived at Moonlit Lake, Rosalynn received a message from Penn, "Good to hear there are no side effects, I've returned to the lab. I'll get everything arranged in the next few days."
"Appreciate it; Rosalynn replied after some thought, watching Wayne's energetic figure. "Is the medication you provided still under development?"
"Of course."
"If you ever need more funding, let me know. If you can develop a long-lasting medication with no side effects, you'd be the modern day Hippocrates, Rosalynn said seriously.
"I wont stop researching."
This medication is essentially a type of antipsychotic. But the problem with these is that overuse can lead to resistance. Once that happens, the only solution is to increase the dosage. But when it reaches a certain point, increasing the dosage no longer has any effect. At that point, when the antipsychotic is no longer effective, the suppressed symptoms can come back with a vengeance.
Developing a long-lasting, non-resistant medication with little to no side effects is easier said than done. This research began with Penn's parents, and now he had been continuing to refine and enhance it. Penn figured that if he couldn't achieve the desired results, he would pass on the research to the next generation. One day, they would surely succeed.
"Hey." As Wayne and Rosalynn exited the elevator, they saw Baillie Scott. Baillie had just warmed up a bottle of milk for Trista and was about to take it to the living room to feed her.
"You're back,' Wayne greeted warmly, then glanced towards the living room. "Trista's here, Ivy must be thrilled.
Ever since we got back from Norhaven, she's been saying how much she misses her little sister, nearly to the point of lovesickness".
