Casper found a spot and moved in.
"Oh my God, the baby is falling..." the crowd screamed in panic.
Eliza's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes widened, unable to believe what was happening right in front of her.
She was frozen. She wanted to move, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead. All she could do was watch helplessly as Brock plummeted from the fifth-floor window.
It felt like her blood was rushing backward, flooding her eyes. Dizziness washed over her. Her vision darkened, sinking her into despair.
But then, miraculously, Brock didn't hit the ground. Instead, he landed safely in Casper's arms.
Casper caught him.
Brock blinked, his tiny mouth quivered, and then he burst into tears.
Eliza, on the verge of fainting, was snapped back to reality by the sound of crying. She saw that Brock was unharmed, with all limbs intact. He was handed to her, and she broke down in tears.
Dillon came running out of the shopping mall. He approached Casper and whispered, "The room was locked. I couldn't get in. Eventually, we got it open, but I didn't see Aaron."
"He must have left early."
How could he stay at the scene of the incident? Unfortunately for him, he miscalculated this plan.
Eliza and Brock went to the hospital. Brock was a bit shaken, but everything was fine.
After they returned home from the hospital, Eliza couldn't stop thinking about why Aaron would harm her child.
After much thought, she could only come up with one reason. That is... Brock was Casper's child.
Aaron had a falling out with Casper. But weren't they best friends who grew up together?
Aaron had even worked for the Welton family as a family doctor for a long time; she just couldn't figure this out.
