His Destructive, Toxic Love

Eliza shot him a cold, emotionless glance, didn't bother answering, and walked away purposefully. Moments later, her phone buzzed. It was the hospital calling-they needed her to come in. Rose was showing signs of waking up.

She quickly flagged down a taxi and headed to the small town hospital. On the way, Aaron called, "Eliza, did the doctor get in touch with you? Your mom has made a lot of progress."

"I'm on my way to the hospital now," Eliza's voice was a mix of excitement and nerves.

"I'll be there soon. We can talk when we see each other."

"Alright."

Eliza's eyes sparkled with determination, hope, and confidence about the future. Her brother was already safe. If her mom's condition improved, she was ready to divorce Casper. Her breathing quickened, and her heartbeat raced as she hurried into the hospital.

"Hi Aaron."

"This is amazing news."

Aaron had gotten there a bit earlier and was waiting for her. His face lit up with excitement. He'd been involved in the project from the start and didn't expect results this soon.

"Yeah, I was thrilled when I got the call, but..." Eliza's voice wavered. "My mom's been in a coma for so long. What if her mind...?"

"It should be fine. Relax."

"Okay."

They walked together into the doctor's office. The doctor responsible for the project showed Eliza a presentation of Rose's progress over time.

After the presentation, Aaron turned to Eliza. "How about we go see your mom now?"

"Yes, I can't wait."

"Let's go, then."

Rose was lying on a hospital bed in the ward, with a personal nurse and various devices attached to her. Previously, no matter how much Eliza called out to her mother, there was no response. Now, when her name was called, her eyelids twitched. For someone who had been in a coma for years, it was nothing short of a miracle.

Tears welled up in Eliza's eyes. Aaron gently patted her back. "Don't get too worked up. Everything will get better." "Okay."

They weren't allowed to stay too long in the research ward. After leaving, Aaron talked with Eliza about health matters and being a doctor.

"I have a friend who's a gynecology specialist. I told her about your condition, and she thinks there's hope for treatment."

Aaron's idea was straightforward. If

Eliza got pregnant, the antibodies in her blood could be her best protection. The Welton family would do anything to keep Jeffery alive. Even if they eventually showed her mercy, it was her body, her life, and she had a long way to go,

But Eliza shook her head. "I don't need that."

"You're still young. There are many possibilities."

"Aaron, I don't want to get pregnant, especially not with Casper's child." The thought of it now repulsed her as much as she once longed for it. "Don't worry about this."

Her strong aversion made Aaron a bit awkward. He quickly changed the subject, "I'm not working as the family doctor for the Welton family anymore. After this project, I'll be going back to work at my family's hospital."

She looked surprised. "Really? What about Jeffrey's illness?"

"The Welton family will have no shortage of good doctors." He put his hands in his pockets, looking off into the distance with a sigh. "Casper isn't the same person

knew Leaving early is better for him,

for me, and for all of us."

"From now on, you don't need to hold back with me. If you need any help, just let me know." He turned to look at Eliza with a hint of hope in his eyes.
