His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

The hospital was tucked away behind tall birch trees, keeping it in the shadows year-round. The iron gate was locked tight, and every now and then, a chilling scream would break the silence. Eliza pressed the worn-out doorbell at the entrance. A small hatch in the door slid open, revealing an unfriendly voice, "Who are you here for?"

"Hi, I'm here to see Robin."

Eliza knocked again, more urgently this time, "Please, I just need to see him for a moment."

The hatch opened slightly, and the voice was now clearly impatient. "I already told you, it's not visiting hours."

"Then, when can I see him?"

"Friday."

The hatch closed again, and Eliza's heart sank. As she turned to leave, a gut-wrenching scream echoed from inside, making her grip her coat tighter.
