Lat up.
The others burst into laughter behind him
Dominic hadn’t eaten in two days. Naturally, he was starving
He ignored the ridicule, picked a clump of vegetables off his shoulder, and showed it into his moutie
Upon seeing this, Oliver tossed him his own plate.
Dominic looked up and glared at him.
oliver said, “What’s the difference between this crap and pig feed anyway? You look half–dead–just take (1.”
But Dominic didn’t move.
Oliver’s smile tumed cold. “Tough guy, huh? Let me give you a reality check–man can’t live without food. Do you really want to bet your life on pride?” Oliver raised the plate, ready to dump it in the toilet. However, Dominic lunged at him and snatched it out of his hands. Then, he devoured it like a starving animal.
In Holdlast Hospital, Kylie had been by Owen’s bedside all moming.

“Yes, Ms. Clark,” the nurses respectfully responded
After that, Kylie left the hospital and took a cab to the prison on the outskirts of town.

Either way, Kylie decided that it was time to speak with Dominic directly.
Up until now, she’d been too pcused on Owen’s critical condition to pursue the truth. But it was time to get answers.
The guards stopped her at the gate when she arrived. “Sorry, Ms. Clark,” one of them said. “It’s not visiting hours.“
Kylie frowned but stayed calm. “When can see him then?”
“Visiting days are Wedursdays. Today’s Thursday. You’ll have to come back next week
