His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 179

Rose was technically alive, with her heart still beating, but for all intents and purposes, she was gone. Aaron called Eliza, urging her to make the heartbreaking decision to take Rose off life support and end her suffering. Reluctantly, Eliza agreed.

But the day before they were supposed to disconnect the machines, something unimaginable happened—Rose was stolen. The only logical reason for taking a brain-dead patient was to harvest her organs.

Nova shrieked in panic, trying to hide in Casper’s arms. “Casper, it wasn’t me, I swear... Eliza is terrifying...”

“Nova, enough! Just tell me where you’ve hidden her...”
