Chapter 62 SIXTY-ONE

MORGIANA'S POV Laurent and Nico were already on our usual table the moment I got in. Laurent's eyes searched around. "Where's Arleigh?" he asked. "Called by her father." The moment the words came out of my mouth, he stood. But I was quick enough to stop him. He looked at me and if looks could pierce, I would have died. "She can handle it, Laurent. She wouldnt like it if you go there right now." Laurent was seething but let out a curse before he sat back down. Nico was just looking at the window while drinking some banana milk on a straw. "How's Hawke with his...experiment?" I asked and thats when he looked at me. "He cut the whole plant." "What?" Both me and Laurent said. "Why? I mean...isnt that the only one we have? What does he plan to do?" I couldnt believe I was hearing it. That plant was the only one in its habitat and Hawke just...cut it? "Does Alaris know about it?" "Of course he does," Nico answered casually but I still couldn't get over the fact that Hawke just cut the plant.
