Chapter 64: Eagleheart Medical Center

Ivy trudged to the car, feeling very unsettled. The lady's words rang at every corner of her head.

"Are you good, ma'am?" Bud asked as he ignited the engine

"Yes, yes," she replied with a faint smile.

Of course, she was far from good, but she couldn't tell him that

She sank into the car, exhaling deeply. She was tired of being torn between her feelings. Were her father and Cole right? Was Thomas really a thief?

"I'll go with you ma'am. You can't"

"No," she interrupted him. I don't need you following me. I'll soon be back," she said. Before he could protest, she dashed out of the gate.

Ivy walked slowly, glancing back to see if she was being followed. Once she was sure she was alone, she ordered a ride. The car arrived twenty minutes later and drove her to Eagleheart.

The hospital was larger than she remembered. As she stepped inside, the sharp scent
