Gavin's POV

I can't remember the last time I actually came to visit my sister. Usually, I would send one of my men to come and get a report on her condition. Part of me wanted turn around and go home; I shouldn't have let my mother get under my skin like this, but knowing Cassandra wanted to see Matthew was driving me insane.

Catherine peeked up at me through her glasses and nodded as she typed something on her computer.
