My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce (Hannah) novel Chapter 158

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.

She had been worried they wouldn't be allowed to return, but now, it seemed very likely. The plan she had devised for her daughter might still work. A small, triumphant smile played on Lily's lips.

Mrs. Mary Rosenberg considered her for a moment. She knew exactly what the mother and daughter were after. She rarely meddled in Lionel's affairs, but this time, their drama had caused her to lose face among her friends.

"Don't make another mistake," Mrs. Mary Rosenberg said, her voice devoid of emotion.

Lily gasped, her heart leaping with joy. "Thank you, thank you," she stammered, nudging her still-dazed daughter with her elbow.
