His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 176

She felt suppressed, confined, and despairing.

“You’re awake.”

Eliza’s tired eyes slowly focused on the man, revealing a glimmer of fragile, haunting beauty. “Aaron.”

“Don’t be sad.” Aaron had also lost his mother, so he deeply understood Eliza’s feelings. “Actually, you’ve got it wrong about Casper. He never mentioned anything about a kidney swap.”

Eliza shook her head, her voice strained. “Not mentioning it doesn’t mean he hadn’t thought about it. Hasn’t Casper done enough monstrous things for Nova already?”

“I know better than you the kind of person he is,” she added.

Aaron pressed his lips together, giving up on defending Casper. “I didn’t expect Rose’s illness to worsen so quickly. If I had been more vigilant, maybe…”

“It’s not your fault.” If it was anyone’s fault, it had to be Casper’s. “Aaron, I’m exhausted. I want to sleep for a bit.”

“Then rest well.”

Aaron had just left when Nova appeared at the door of Eliza’s hospital room.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity.” Nova looked down at Eliza lying in the bed, her voice dripping with mockery. “Heard your mom’s dying?”

“You must know she’s decided to donate her kidney to me, right?”

Nova pulled out a kidney donation consent form. “Look. All the procedures are done.”

Eliza shot up from her bed and snatched the form from Nova’s hands. The more she read, the more her fingers trembled.

“You won’t get away with this.” Eliza tore the document to pieces.

Nova was unfazed. “We’ll see about that.”

With a smug smile, Nova added, “Eliza, I won’t let you have a single good day.”
