His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 399

The tumor pressing on his nerves had caused irreversible cognitive decline, but thankfully, he could still manage basic self-care and express himself. Eliza responded to each question with a calm and gentle demeanor. Despite his dependency on others for everything, she was grateful he was still alive.

She poured a cup of coffee and handed it to him, “Mr. Casper, please, have some coffee.”

“Thank you.” He smiled faintly, carefully taking the coffee from her. Their fingertips brushed accidentally, sending a shiver through Eliza’s heart. She couldn’t help but look up at him.

He seemed unfazed, showing no reaction. She bit her lip and curled her fingers slightly.

“Is it too much for you to take care of him alone? I can recommend some good home care services,” he said, looking at her as if the brief touch hadn’t mattered to him.

“Oh, maybe later.” She felt a mix of emotions about it.

“Will you stay in Falconridge, or do you plan to take your father back to Oak Falls?” he asked casually, as if making small talk.

Eliza had seriously considered this. Life and work would be easier back in Oak Falls. But the healthcare in Oak Falls couldn’t compare to Falconridge. Given Mikey’s condition, it really wasn’t suitable to move back to Oak Falls.

“We’ll probably stay in Falconridge,” she admitted honestly.

He set down his coffee cup, his eyes showing concern, “Well, if you do stay in Falconridge and need anything, just let me know. I could help with finding a job, for instance.”

“Hmm.” Finding a job wasn’t easy, especially with a patient to care for. For now, she might only rely on selling her paintings to cover their daily expenses.

“If you need, I can introduce you to some job opportunities,” he offered sincerely.
