Dillon felt a twinge in his heart and awkwardly tugged at his lip. "Are you talking about your wife? She hasn't come to see you..."

"She is such a heartless woman," Casper thought. She no longer loved him, which explained her cold and ruthless behavior. "It's okay, I don't blame her."

"She nearly stabbed you to death, and you don't blame her?" Dillon couldn't hold back. "From what I see, the chance of you and your wife reconciling is as likely as Mars crashing into Earth. Maybe you should just give up on her. After all, she's remarried and has a kid now..." Casper's frown deepened. "Since when is it your place to give me advice? One more word, and you're out of here."

Dillon didn't want to push it further. But he couldn't help thinking that Eliza's indifference was probably even more serious than Casper realized. If she had any feelings left for him, she wouldn't have faked her own death to escape, let alone remarry and have children. Why did she marry an old man? That was a clear statement that Casper was even less desirable than an elderly gentleman.

"I'm just trying to say, don't risk your life hoping for her forgiveness. If she doesn't forgive you and you die, she might actually be happy."

"Stop aggravating me; I'm not going to die from this," Casper said, annoyed. "Get me a glass of water."

"Sure thing." Dillon handed the glass to him.
