Lilith's face instantly turned ashen. "I'm so sorry, this is a huge misunderstanding. We aren't spies, we just came to the hospital for medical treatment."
But Lydia still hadn't grasped the severity of the situation.
She was furious. All she wanted was to see what this June looked like.
It was just some security footage!
Back home, she could get it with a single phone call.
But this wasn't back home, a fact that she seemed to have forgotten entirely.
Unable to control her temper, Lydia yelled, "Who do you think you are, calling the cops on me! What did we do? We just wanted to check some footage! You dare call the cops? I'll report you all! I'll ruin your careers!"
Lilith's face darkened with rage. She grabbed Lydia and hissed through gritted teeth, "Mom! Stop talking!"
Firing at everyone indiscriminately, Lydia shot back, "What did I say? I'm just telling the truth."
She pointed at the hospital executive and Manager Reed. "Just you wait. Wait until my son-in-law gets here. We'll see how he deals with you! You're dead meat! Just wait."
"Mom!" Lilith screamed. "Do you even know where we are? Please just shut up!"
Lilith then turned back to the hospital executive with an apologetic smile. "I'm so sorry. My mother is unwell. She's not quite right in the head, which is why we came to your esteemed hospital for treatment. Please try to understand."
As she spoke, Lilith tapped her temple significantly.
Seeing this, Lydia lost it completely. "Lilith, who are you calling crazy? I'm not! I'm perfectly fine!"
The hospital executive shrugged. "She says she has no mental illness and is perfectly sane."
The mere mention of mental illness sent Lydia over the edge. During her hospitalization, the doctors had also told her she wasn't mentally stable and needed to see a psychiatrist.
She just had a temper; how did that make her crazy?
"You're the crazy one! Your whole family is crazy!"
Smack!
Lydia raised her hand and slapped the hospital executive right across the face.
