"Sirs, are you leaving?The leader of the bodyguards asked.
The two men looked at each other. Then Madigan coughed and said, "The hospital called, saying that my daughter's wound is suddenly bleeding badly. She just had a C-section a few days ago. And she has not fully recovered. So...
"Your daughter is still in Community Health Hospital, isn't she? The bodyguard asked.
Madigan felt somewhat displeased at his question. But he swallowed his pride and replied stiffly, "Yes, she is.
Then he watched as the bodyguard took out his cell and dialed the number of the hospital. He inquired about Stella Lynch, and after affirming that she was in no serious condition, he handed the phone to Madigan.
