His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 482

"If you want to see Brock, I can bring him over anytime." He held her hand tightly, as if letting go meant losing her forever. "Elle, promise me you won't leave, okay?"

Eliza pulled her hand away, irritation flickering in her eyes.

She was in a coma because of Casper.

All his flings, each one more trivial than the last, had left her the one deeply scarred. It just didn't seem worth it anymore.

"Casper, if I stay, I'll just get hurt again. This time it was Susan, but what about next time? Your business empire is always expanding, and with it, one woman after another will come and go. Putting our past aside, do you really think I can accept the person you've become?"

"Susan was a mistake, and I've taken care of it." He tried to assure her, knowing he could promise there wouldn't be any more women coming between them in the future. "I didn't think it through, but it won't happen again."

"We..." She struggled to find the right words for her tangled emotions.

Since their reunion three years after their separation, every sacrifice he had made played out in her mind like an old movie reel.

To win her forgiveness, he had let her stab him without resistance.

To save Brock, he had willingly plunged into the sea, risking his own life.
