His Destructive, Toxic Love
Chapter 90

Eliza didn't even glance up at him. She just gave a slight smile and nodded. "Hmm."

Aaron offered to drive Eliza home, and she agreed. During the ride, she mainly asked about the steps to take once her mother woke up and how to help her regain her physical abilities. She even inquired about Robin's chances of recovery.

Aaron answered all her questions, patient and gentle as ever. Every now and then, they'd reminisce about their school days.

At a red light, Eliza's phone slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor. She unbuckled her seatbelt to retrieve it. When she tried to buckle up again, she struggled a bit.

Noticing her difficulty, Aaron reached over to help her with the seatbelt.

Right at that moment, Casper driving by saw the scene. From his angle, it looked as if Aaron was leaning over Eliza, intimately close, without any reservations. Was it a kiss, a peck, or something else? He could only guess.

Casper quickly turned the wheel and followed Aaron's car.

Eliza didn't let Aaron drop her off at the entrance of Welton Estate. Instead, she asked him to stop at the crossroads. "Aaron, thanks for the ride. And thank you for taking care of my mom's case. I really look forward to the day she opens her eyes and talks to me."

"Don't worry, that day will come soon," Aaron reassured her.

"Okay," she replied.

After saying goodbye to Aaron, Eliza returned to Welton Estate. The house was eerily quiet. Without Casper and Nova around, even the air felt fresher.

However, just as she had taken off her shoes, Casper's car pulled in. Marian quickly fetched a pair of slippers and waited by the door.

Casper said nothing and didn't even bother to change his shoes. He walked briskly behind Eliza, grabbed her wrist, and dragged her upstairs.

"What now?" she snapped.

Whenever she felt a bit better, he treated her roughly. It's like he didn't want her to enjoy a moment of peace.

"Found someone new and feeling all bold now?" he sneered, gripping her wrist tightly. "Eliza, what exactly are you up to?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"You don't know?" He leaned in close, his gaze piercing her trembling eyes. "Where did you go after leaving the hospital? Went on a date with your precious Aaron, didn't you?"

Eliza stared at him, a deep-seated disgust rising within her. He could spend every day with Nova and do whatever he wanted. But if she even spoke to Aaron, she had committed a cardinal sin.

"Is being with a man always considered a date? If so, how should I interpret your intimate relationship with Nova?" she retorted, glaring at him.

It wasn't jealousy or envy but about

standing up for herself. He clearly didn't love her, yet he was so suspicious of her. If it was about preserving the so-called honor of the Welton family, he should manage his own actions better.

"You're questioning me?" He glared at her hatefully, throwing her onto the bed with force. "Eliza, I've overlooked your past, given you respect, and you still have the nerve to question me?"

She seemed resigned. What she was to him didn't matter anymore.

As he leaned over her, she coldly said, "If I'm so tainted, aren't you afraid of getting sick?"

"Can you swear you haven't been

with Aaron? Did Easton ever touch you? Eliza, can you swear you've always been faithful to me?" His eyes reddened as he grabbed Ker clothes and tore them you?"

"Can
