His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 12

Casper pulled his gaze away, his voice gentle and reassuring. "Don't worry, I've already arranged everything with a hospital abroad. Your leg is going to get better."

"Will you come with me, Casper?" Nova asked, her eyes hopeful.

"Of course," he replied.

Nova's tears turned into a smile. "Thank you, Casper."

Eliza made her way to the nurse's station. "Nurse, can I switch rooms?"

"Ms. Eliza, all our rooms are full right now. We can't make a switch for you," the nurse said apologetically.

"Then... I'll check out," Eliza said. She just couldn’t stay another minute here.

The nurse was taken aback. "Ms. Eliza, your knee isn't fully healed yet. Why do you want to check out? If you really need a different room, let me see what I can do."

"Thank you for your help."

"Please go back for now. Walking around isn’t good for your knee. It could cause complications."

The nurse escorted Eliza back to her room. Casper was chatting with Nova, making her laugh uncontrollably.

When Eliza entered, Nova grinned. "Elle, Casper is such a jokester! I'm so jealous you have such a funny husband."

"My husband?" Eliza scoffed. "I thought he was yours."

Nova's face turned red. "Eliza, are... are you upset?"

She glanced nervously at Casper. "Casper, please talk to Eliza. I don't want any misunderstandings because of me."

Eliza held back her anger. She didn't want Casper to hold this against her. She and her family couldn't afford that.

Soon, the nurse found a new room for Eliza, placing her at the end of the hallway. Her new roommate was an elderly lady.
