YOU DISAPPOINT ME

The black Bentley stopped in front of the hospital building and Ava looked around confused. "What are we doing here?" She stared at Maximus as he strode to her side and opened the door.

"Come out." Maximus held the door but Ava only stared at him skeptically.

She couldn't fathom why they were at a hospital. Was it because of her injury from yesterday? Or was Maximus sick?

"Aren't you eager to find out how your grandfather is doing?"

Ava went speechless. "How did—" She trailed off. She had a lot of questions, but she decided not to ask. Instead, "I do. I want to see him so bad," she replied.

"Then let's go."

"I can't... They won't—" she trailed off again. Telling him her family stopped her from seeing her grandfather because they hated her sounded pitiful, so she decided not to give him any reason.

"Your family won't let you?"

Ava: "..."
