If anyone could translate this sentence, I would appreciate it.

のちほどスタッフは彼女の元を去りました。 Could someone explain how 元を去りました。works here?
What should be analysed is not `元を去りました` but `彼女の元を去りました`.

  * 彼女の元: her side

  * 去る: to leave

Combining them yields: `彼女の元を去りました`: "(the staff) left her side" (no longer
with her)
