His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Casper being rushed to the hospital became the talk of the town in Falconridge. Everyone was buzzing with rumors and wild guesses about what happened.

Eliza didn't go to the hospital but kept herself updated through the headlines. She knew one thing for sure-Casper was alive. The word on the street was that the knife missed any vital organs. He'd just lost a lot of blood and was pretty weak.

Nova did go to see him, but the Welton family pretty much kicked her out. Watching her hobble out of the hospital on a cane was almost comical.

Chelsea handed Eliza a peeled apple. "Quit stressing over the news. You've got enough going on. Besides, wouldn't that be better for everyone if he dies?"

"Yeah, you're right." Eliza took a bite. The sweet flavor of the apple brought a slight smile to her face.

Chelsea couldn't wrap her head around why Casper took the stab meant for Eliza. "If Casper took a hit for Nova, I'd get it. But for you? Is he nuts?"

It wasn't that complicated. Casper didn't want Nova to end up a murderer. If Nova had killed Eliza, she'd face some serious consequences. Casper couldn't bear that. But if he took the stab, it would just be considered a suicide attempt as long as Casper didn't press charges.
