Casper glanced at Eliza, drenched in water, and said coldly, "Go take a shower." Eliza didn't look up; she just picked up the basin and headed into the bathroom.

Nova slapped herself twice, saying, "I didn't mean to make things difficult for her. I just couldn't take the temperature anymore. I'm such an asshole. I shouldn't have done that. I'm so sorry..." "It's alright," Casper said, grabbing her wrist just in time. "No one blames you."

"Casper," she took a chance and hugged him around the waist, leaning against his chest, crying even harder. "Maybe I should leave. My being here only makes things worse for you and Eliza. I'm really useless. Please, let me go home. Let me fend for myself."

Casper, with his usual chilly gaze, patted her back to comfort her.

"Casper, really, I feel like everything I do is wrong. The media is one thing, but if Eliza misunderstands me and you..." Nova cunningly rolled her eyes, then continued sobbing.

"Don't overthink it. Go take a bath and get some rest."

Casper had the house staff push Nova in the elevator up to the second floor. He sat in the living room, lighting a cigarette.

Marian walked over and said, "Sir, I've organized all of Mrs. Welton's belongings."

"Buy an automatic temperature-controlled foot spa tomorrow."

"Of course, sir."

Eliza took the chance to cry her heart out while she was in the shower. Only then did she find the strength to keep going. After crying, she grabbed a bathrobe and stepped out of the bathroom.
