His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 209

"Eliza, are you... okay?" His eyes were bloodshot.

Eliza looked pale but managed a smile, shaking her head. "Aaron, I'm fine, don't worry."

"Chelsea told me about your situation," he said softly.

Eliza nodded. "Aaron, I really appreciate your willingness to help me."

Eliza always treated Aaron politely and maintained a courteous distance.

For some reason, this made Aaron's heart ache a bit. "You don't need to thank me. Casper is really out of line, but... it seems like we're powerless."

"He can't change."

Casper's way of life was selfish, indifferent, and domineering. In his world, he wouldn't allow anyone under his control to stray from his path. He had ways to make those who displeased him suffer immensely.

Aaron had grown up with Casper. He understood.

"Now that you're pregnant, you can call me if you need anything." Aaron handed Eliza a brand new phone. "This is a new number."

Since Casper took her phone away, she had been cut off from the world. This phone came just in time.

"Thank you, Aaron."

"Don't worry about the outside world for now, wait until—"

Aaron was interrupted as the door opened from outside. Casper strode in, his demeanor calm, a chilling smile on his lips. With a swift movement, he kicked Aaron, sending him flying along with the chair.

"What do you want me to say?"

Her tone was cold, her gaze shifting slightly. Casper took that as a sign of guilt. The pressure of his fingertips was almost crushing her chin.

Eliza winced in pain and looked away from him. "Casper, you're about to get engaged to Nova. Why keep tormenting me? You don't love me, so why bother with all this?"

"So?" His face suddenly came close, so close that his angry breaths hit her nose. "Do you think you can do as you please?"

"I've been confined to an asylum. What freedom do I have? What can I possibly do?"

Apart from her dissatisfaction with Casper, her faint and shallow gaze also showed an almost resolute disregard. Every bit of her emotion was showing. Her feelings towards him now were nothing but hatred.
