His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Quick, get Eliza inside! What on earth happened? Why was she out in the rain?" Audrey anxiously peered outside. "You all, how could you let her suffer like this?" The servants scrambled to carry Eliza into the house.

Audrey immediately took charge. "Quick, call Dr. Kins! And hurry, make some ginger tea. Pour it into the bathtub and make it nice and hot. Let Eliza soak in it for a bit."

"Understood, ma'am."

Eliza was very weak, but she woke up in a daze. As she soaked in the ginger tea, her body slowly began to warm up.

Caroline stayed close by, worried she might drown.

"Why were you kneeling in the rain? Who made you do that? Was it Dad or Casper?"

Eliza could barely muster the strength to speak. "Casper... he said I needed to atone."

"Atoning for what? He blames you for Grandpa's death? That's just ridiculous. What does Grandpa's death have to do with you? Eliza, you let him push you around too much. You can't keep letting him treat you this way."

Eliza gave a bitter smile. She knew she shouldn't let it happen, but sometimes, she just couldn't fight back.

"Caroline." There was a knock on the bathroom door; it was Audrey. "I made some ginger tea for Eliza. Bring it to her."

"Coming, Mom."
