I LOVE YOU

Matilda shrugged away the guards hand that lingered on her arm. She pointed to the counter. "You'll go there. State that you're the legal guardian of your grandfather and grant us permission to see him."

Ava became confused. "Why do I have to grant permission for you to see grandfather?"

"Aren't you supposed to be smart?" Sasha scoffed. "We're being escorted out of the room because there's a new hospital policy that only the legal guardian of a patient can visit. And to visit, we need permission from you."

Ava turned to Maximus, and when he nodded curtly, she turned back to her family. She didn't know what to feel about this information, but a smile appeared on her face. "Is that so?"

"What is that stupid smile on your face? Hurry up and do what your mother asked." Gaulin was getting impatient.
