His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Eliza didn't even glance up at him. She just gave a slight smile and nodded. "Hmm."

Aaron offered to drive Eliza home, and she agreed. During the ride, she mainly asked about the steps to take once her mother woke up and how to help her regain her physical abilities. She even inquired about Robin's chances of recovery.

Aaron answered all her questions, patient and gentle as ever. Every now and then, they'd reminisce about their school days.

At a red light, Eliza's phone slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor. She unbuckled her seatbelt to retrieve it. When she tried to buckle up again, she struggled a bit.

Noticing her difficulty, Aaron reached over to help her with the seatbelt.

Right at that moment, Casper driving by saw the scene. From his angle, it looked as if Aaron was leaning over Eliza, intimately close, without any reservations. Was it a kiss, a peck, or something else? He could only guess.

Casper quickly turned the wheel and followed Aaron's car.

Eliza didn't let Aaron drop her off at the entrance of Welton Estate. Instead, she asked him to stop at the crossroads. "Aaron, thanks for the ride. And thank you for taking care of my mom's case. I really look forward to the day she opens her eyes and talks to me."
