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

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
