His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 737

Eliza stepped out of the restroom at the rest stop, only to find her travel

companions had vanished. The car was gone too. She instinctively reached for her phone to call them, but realized she'd left it behind in the car. The rain was coming down in sheets, and the place was nearly deserted.

Stranded and unable to reach anyone, she tried to find someone who might lend her a phone but had no luck. Feeling stuck, she had no choice but to wait.

After what seemed like forever, a cleaning lady appeared. Spotting her, Eliza felt a wave of relief and hurried over. "Excuse me, ma'am, could I borrow your phone for just a minute?"

The cleaning lady eyed her suspiciously and shook her head without a word. Realizing she might have been misunderstood, Eliza quickly added, "I just need to make a quick call. I promise I'll stay right here."
