It was peak discharge time, and the elevator was crammed full of people. If they weren't in such a hurry to see Mrs. Mary Rosenberg, Lily and her daughter would have waited for the next one.
They squeezed in, earning grumbles from the other passengers.
"Couldn't you have just taken the next one? It's already so crowded."
"Yeah, hey, your bag just hit me."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Do you own this hospital? Mind your own business. If you don't like it, you can get out," she snapped.
"Exactly!" Cora chimed in.
If someone hadn't intervened, a full-blown argument would have erupted.
About a minute after they got off, the adjacent elevator opened. Sandra stepped out, asked the nurse at the front desk for Lily's room number, and headed straight there.
The room was empty.
"Excuse me, where are the patients from this room?"
"They just completed their discharge paperwork. They've probably already left."
A dark look crossed Sandra's face. They had some damn good luck, managing to leave just in time.
Thinking they couldn't have gone far, Sandra immediately took the elevator back down. By the time she reached the parking garage, Cora was already driving toward the main Rosenberg estate.
At the estate, Mrs. Mary Rosenberg had already seen the news about Hannah. The video of her so-called immersion in the act was an eyesore. If she didn't already know about the impending divorce, she would have been on the phone with Lionel, demanding he file immediately.
