Chapter 98

• The hospital lobby was alive with movement that afternoon as nurses hurried past, doctors discussed cases in hushed tones, and visitors sat waiting. The polished floors reflected the bright lights, and the smell of disinfectant lingered in the air.
• Then, the sliding doors opened, and in walked Mrs. Sydney.
• Her presence was like a wave. Heads turned instantly, and people whispered to each other as everyone in the hospital recognized her to be the influential, respected, feared, and admired wife of the Sydney empire. Some stood to greet her, while others bowed politely from a distance.
