His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Aaron's idea to use your wife's blood to treat Jeffrey's illness was a complete farce."

Casper slowly opened his eyes, his dark pupils filled with a bone-chilling coldness. "Go on."

"Mr. Casper, while it's true that your wife's blood contains antibodies that could've helped Jeffrey's condition, these antibodies can be produced by any healthy person and are particularly present in pregnant women. This means Jeffrey's illness could have been treated with the blood of any pregnant woman, and only a small amount was needed.

"The improvement in Jeffrey's condition after he received your wife's blood was just a coincidence. It didn't actually help his illness in any significant way.

"I think Aaron's goal was to worsen the tension between you and your wife."
