His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 619

Brock's surgery was scheduled in no time. Eliza handled all the preliminary tests herself, sticking by Brock through each one. Every time she caught sight of Casper, he was always with Fiona and her son.

Eliza felt like her heart was being ripped to shreds, the pain so deep it was beyond words.

“Why don’t you join them? I can see the distance in the way the child looks at you now,” Fiona said, her voice gentle and understanding.

Casper took a deep breath and gently hugged Dylan. “Hey, buddy, they’re going to use a big needle for the blood test. Are you scared?”

“I’m not scared. Helping Brock get better makes me happy,” Dylan said, his face lighting up with a pure smile, not a hint of fear in his eyes. His innocence and kindness reminded Casper so much of Rory, warming his heart. Fiona had done a wonderful job raising him.

“Thanks, Fiona,” Casper said.

“You don’t need to thank me, Casper. Just remember your promise to Rory. Dylan and I don't want our efforts to be in vain.” Her voice carried a soft tenderness and hope.

He got the message behind her words. But now...

Before Brock was wheeled into the surgery room, Casper approached Eliza, wanting to offer some comforting words, but she avoided his gaze.

“Elle,” he called softly, his face showing his pain.

She turned away, her eyes red. “Casper, since you've made your choice, let's get the divorce sorted once Brock is better.”

As time ticked by, Eliza wasn’t worried about Brock. She knew the surgery had a high success rate. Seeing Casper’s anxious face, she couldn’t tell if he was more concerned about Brock or the other boy. They were both his kids. Who he worried about more said a lot about who mattered more to him.

It didn’t matter to her anymore. She wasn’t one for fighting over love. If the condoms in the restroom and Summer’s flirting were just pebbles causing little ripples, Fiona’s arrival was a full-blown atomic bomb. It not only left her feeling shattered but also threatened to destroy her entire belief system.

She never imagined Casper would be so ruthless. Maybe it was all part of his plan. Watching her accept him happily, continue to love him, only for him to cruelly abandon her, sending her crashing down from the clouds. Perhaps that was the thrill he was after.

Fine, she’d give him what he wanted. Eliza closed her eyes. She let the dead vines of her heart spread and take over completely.

The lights in the operating room went out. Brock was wheeled out, and the doctor excitedly announced that the surgery was a success.
