His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Why's Casper here?" she blurted out.

Aaron furrowed his brow and shook his head. "Not sure. He must be in Oak Falls for business. I heard he's eyeing a hospital here, and my uncle's a major shareholder. He's probably using this chance to talk to him." Whatever the reason, Casper had seen her. He'd definitely start questioning her identity.

A wave of unease gripped her heart.

Aaron gently placed his hands on her shoulders, his voice calm and reassuring. "Don't worry, Eliza. He saw you die. Even if he thinks you look familiar now, he'll just assume his eyes are playing tricks on him. He'd never guess you're still alive." Eliza's eyes fluttered. Would he really?

"Alright, stop stressing. Stay here and rest for a bit. Don't go out."

Eliza nodded lightly. "Aaron, could you let your uncle know?"

"Of course." He smiled gently.

Eliza stayed anxiously in the room for a while.
