His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Casper pulled his gaze away, his voice gentle and reassuring. "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything with a hospital abroad. Your leg is going to get better." "Will you come with me, Casper?" Nova asked, her eyes hopeful.

"Of course," he replied.

Nova's tears turned into a smile. "Thank you, Casper."

Eliza made her way to the nurse's station. "Nurse, can I switch rooms?"

"Ms. Eliza, all our rooms are full right now. We can't make a switch for you," the nurse said apologetically.

"Then... I'll check out," Eliza said. She just couldn't stay another minute here.

The nurse was taken aback. "Ms. Eliza, your knee isn't fully healed yet. Why do you want to check out? If you really need a different room, let me see what I can do." "Thank you for your help."

"Please go back for now. Walking around isn't good for your knee. It could cause complications."

The nurse escorted Eliza back to her room. Casper was chatting with Nova, making her laugh uncontrollably.
