His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 417

“Casper.”

“Casper, are you home?”

It was Susan’s voice.

Speak of the devil, and she’s here.

Eliza felt it was time to leave. “Your fiancée’s here. I’ll get going now. Let her take care of you.”

Casper grabbed her wrist, looking at her with reluctance, as if he wanted to explain something.

Before he could say a word, Eliza had already pulled her hand free. “Stop tugging at me. Don’t let Susan get the wrong idea. I don’t want to be seen as the other woman.”

She bent down to pack up the first aid kit.

Susan pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.

Seeing Eliza, she was clearly startled. “You… Aren’t you Brock’s mom? What… What are you doing here?”

“I’m Casper’s friend. He got drunk and hurt himself a bit, so I was helping him out,” Eliza said calmly, without a trace of guilt or panic. “I’ve taken care of his injury. You should stay and look after him.”

Susan blinked and then looked at the man on the bed.

His upper body was bare, his skin flushed.

His eyes were hazy, making him look every bit the drunkard.

“You two…”

“He had some alcohol, and I didn’t want to risk giving him any fever meds, so I used rubbing alcohol to cool him down. His temperature’s dropped quite a bit. If he gets a fever again, you’d better take him to the hospital.”

Eliza flashed a brief smile, placing the first aid kit aside, ready to leave. “I’ll be going now.”

Eliza’s calm and collected demeanor left Susan unable to find any sign of impropriety.

But being alone together, with disheveled clothes, was it really possible that nothing had happened?

As soon as Eliza left, Susan chased after her.

“Hold on a second.”

Eliza stopped and turned to the woman who had followed her, her tone even. “Is there something else?”
