Chapter 64: Eagleheart Medical Center

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

"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.
