She finalized a few details of the treatment plan with Magee, then headed downstairs with Lance to pay the medical bills. Just as they stepped out of the room, a nurse stopped them. "Camilla, it's terrible! Zack Lennox's wife went into distress this morning, and her mother-in-law is causing a massive scene downstairs. The press caught wind of it and is swarming the lobby. You should probably leave through the back door."
Tanner's hospital room was under heavy police protection.
The hospital staff, terrified of any mishaps, had rushed over to warn them.
Camilla's already restless gaze turned somber with irritation.
Hide?
Tanner was still here. Where could they possibly hide?
As long as this problem wasn't dealt with, these people would keep swarming them like relentless flies.
Camilla had already experienced this suffocating feeling with Davina and the Blair family. In a way, Zack's wife and Davina's relatives were cut from the same cloth.
Camilla turned to Lance. "Get in touch with Mahoney. I'll go down and see what's happening."
"I'm coming with you, Camilla," Dahlia said, keeping pace with her.
The two followed the nurse out of the elevator, only to see a gray-haired woman sitting in the middle of the hospital lobby, slapping her thighs and crying. Her theatrics were eerily similar to Davina's mother.
A large crowd had already gathered around her, and reporters had shoved their cameras and microphones right in her face.
The woman's piercing wails echoed as if they could tear the roof off the hospital. Several doctors were trying to calm her down, but to no avail.
From a distance, Camilla could hear her screaming. "It's a tragedy! An absolute tragedy! My son was just a regular employee. What do his boss's crimes have to do with him?
"He's the only man left to support our family. My poor daughter-in-law is pregnant. Eight months pregnant! She was begging them desperately with tears in her eyes.
"These people have hearts of stone! They just stood there and watched my pregnant daughter-in-law collapse in tears!
