Chapter 94 I Messed Up Again

It hit me like a ton of bricks how dumb I'd been.

"You gotta cough up the consultation fee. The doc ain't handing out meds for free; it drains her divine mojo," one of the ladies in line said all sure of herself, and the rest nodded along.

These folks were totally brainwashed, worshipping Ivy like she was some kind of goddess.

Eloise, who dragged me here, tried to pull me aside, still giving me the spiel. "She can help you get pregnant. A small fee is worth it, right? The meds really work. My friend's proof; I'm not making this up."

I knew if I kicked up a fuss now, I'd get nowhere. So, I had to play along for a bit.

I put on a dumb grin. "I didn't bolt 'cause of the fee. I'm just freaked out by the medicine. It looks so nasty, I can't drink it."

Eloise, acting all in-the-know, said, "You don't get it. That's divine stuff. Ms. Davis doesn't give it to just anyone. She can tell if it'll work just by looking. If she says it will work, it will. But if she doesn't, you're out of luck, even if the gods are on your side.."

I nodded like I got it. "Alright, I'll drink it. For my kid, I'll drink it no matter what."

Seeing me play nice, they relaxed, and Ivy moved on to the next patient.

I took the bowl of medicine to the side, hesitating as I brought it to my lips. No way was I actually drinking that.

Pretending to sip, I peeked over the bowl. Seeing the two guys by the door weren't watching, I chucked the bowl at them and bolted.

I heard footsteps chasing me right away. I ran like my life depended on it. I grabbed a handful of rocks and chucked them behind me as I ran.

When I hit the main road, the car that brought us was still there. Seeing me sprint out, the driver started the car, looking like he wanted to block me.

Seeing headlights coming from a distance, I didn't think twice and ran towards the car. It stopped in front of me, and I yanked open the passenger door and jumped in.

By the time the two muscleheads caught up, the car had already turned around and sped off. I clutched my chest, my heart pounding like crazy.

After catching my breath, I looked at Jason in the driver's seat.

"Emily, how'd you end up way out here?" Jason looked at me, shaking his head.

I shrugged. "What can I say? My brain decided to take a vacation."

Jason chuckled. "Good thing you had the sense to text me ahead of time."
