His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"No way, I don't want you to take care of me. I want to earn my own money." She pleaded, hugging Casper's arm tightly. "My leg might be injured, but my heart isn't. I want to be independent. I want to work."

Casper quickly caught up and grabbed her wrist. "Let's go together."
