His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Eliza was worried the nurse might misunderstand, so she added, "I'll be back first thing tomorrow morning." "Are you sure you're up for it?" The nurse eyed her with concern. "I wouldn't recommend you go home."

"I can't sleep well in the hospital." She lied casually.

The nurse didn't want to make things difficult, and suggested, "Alright then, just fill out a discharge form and get the doctor's signature. But you need to be back early tomorrow for your IV treatment." "Got it, thanks."

Before leaving the hospital, Eliza called Chelsea. Then, she grabbed a cab to her apartment.

Robin was already back, looking lost. Sometimes, he wouldn't speak; other times, he just smiled vacantly.

"Robin, do you recognize me? I'm your sister." Eliza looked at her brother, feeling a constant ache in her heart.

Chelsea patted her shoulder, signaling her not to worry. "I've set up an appointment with a psychiatrist for tomorrow. Let's see what they say and plan out the next steps for his treatment."

It seemed like the only option now, but it was the best outcome they could hope for.

Casper hadn't gone back on his word.

"Chelsea, I'm terrified that Casper might change his mind. If one day, he decides to take Robin to some godforsaken place, we might never see him again."

"Do you really think he'd do that?"

Chelsea didn't know Casper well, but judging by how he treated Eliza, it wasn't beyond him to do something so cruel.
