Gaulin, Matilda, and Sasha stared at Ava speechlessly. "She can't be serious!" Sasha burst out, "Did she just... walk away like that? Like we're nothing?"
Matilda clenched her fists. "That ungrateful little—she's testing me! That girl is testing my patience."
Gaulin was eerily quiet. His jaw tightened as he stared at the elevator doors that had closed behind Ava and Maximus.
"What are we going to do now, Dad? Are they going to throw us out since she has refused to give her permission?"
Gaulin took a deep breath. He'd had enough embarrassment for the day. "Let's go home. We'll settle this at home," he strained before walking away.
Both Matilda and Sasha were shocked. "That's it?! You're going to let her get away with everything she just did, Dad?!" When Gaulin said nothing and just kept walking, Sasha and Matilda were compelled to follow behind him, but they both frowned as they walked out of the hospital.
