His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 14

"Thinking about divorcing him?"

Eliza didn't deny it. Every time Casper endangered her and her family's lives for Nova, her urge to leave him only grew stronger.

"Yes."

Aaron was initially stunned but didn’t say much. Being Casper’s wife was a position of prestige that many only dreamt of.

Was Eliza really prepared to throw it all away?

"Are you sure about this?"

"Absolutely."

Aaron didn’t press further and focused on treating her wounds. His hands were skillful and gentle as he applied the medicine and bandaged her injuries.

"If you get a fever tomorrow, make sure to go to the hospital," he reminded her.

Eliza nodded slightly. "Thank you."

"Get some rest. If you feel unwell, give me a call, and I'll come by to change your dressing again tomorrow," he said, picking up his medical kit.

Her eyes fell sadly. "Don’t bother. I can't afford to pay for more house calls."

She was unemployed and low on funds. She had to save every penny counted.

Aaron felt a pang of sympathy, "I won’t charge you."

"Really, Aaron, thank you, but I don't want to trouble you."

"Stay seated. I'll lock the door on my way out." Aaron gave Eliza a meaningful look before leaving.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, his breathing became heavy. He couldn't resist calling Casper. "Do you know about Eliza’s leg injury?"
