Chapter Thirteen

Laurel & Henry

{Laurel's POV}

I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. How will I come out of this fix? I don't want Alex or anyone else to get hurt but Ivy…

“Hey baby, aren't you going to eat something?” Alex asks.

We just left the police station to a restaurant nearby to grab some Chinese takeout.

“I'm eating,” I reply vacantly.

I hardly touch my food. My mind has been running in circles right from when I left Ivy's hideout.

“I know you must been shaken by all that has happened but you need the strength. I brought us here so you can have something in your stomach, it's too late in the night to cook,” he says.

True. I am tired and hungry but the worries inside has filled my stomach. I manage to eat but then, I move the takeout away with more than half of the food in it. I really can't eat anything.

After dinner, he hires a taxi to my place.
