His Destructive, Toxic Love

Does she blame David?

No, she doesn't blame him.

She believes that once he cools down, he'll reflect on his actions.

Sliding into Casper's car, Eliza was quiet for a while before slowly asking, "How did you end up at the hospital?"

"I was worried about you." He hadn't been able to eat anything at home. "Did Carter pass away?"

"Yeah, our teacher is gone. That's why David lost control." She could understand David's feelings; the pain of losing a loved one was something she could empathize with. "He was just talking nonsense." Some of the things David said indeed left Casper baffled.

But were they really just nonsense?

Casper didn't ask Eliza; he figured even if he did, she'd come up with some excuse.

The truth, he had to find out on his own.

"He wanted to turn the pretense into reality, and you refused, so he lost it."

"You... how did you know my engagement to him was fake?" Eliza was slightly surprised.

She didn't think she was acting that poorly, and David did like her. How did this man see through it?

"Is it that hard to guess? Whether someone loves another, you can see it in their eyes."

Eliza didn't have the energy to dig into this right now. "Just take me home."

"Okay."

...

A few days later, Caleb's plane landed in Falconridge.

Casper personally came to pick him up.

"Dr. Caleb, welcome back."

Caleb grinned and gave Casper a big hug. "Calling me doctor makes me feel a bit guilty."

"Back then, you were so adamant about studying medicine. I never thought I'd end up needing your help."

Caleb had already heard about Casper's condition from Dillon.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

There aren't really good ways to treat amnesia.

Either electroshock therapy or surgery.

It depends on the specifics.

But no one can guarantee the results.

"Man, what if the amnesia isn't cured and I turn you into an idiot instead?"

On the way back to the estate, Casper called Eliza, wanting to invite her over to visit and meet his family.

But he didn't tell her the real reason, just said they hadn't had dinner that day and wanted to make it up. Eliza felt awkward refusing and agreed.

Standing at the entrance of her apartment complex, watching Casper's car slowly stop in front of her. The window rolled down, sunlight slanting into the car.

Eliza and Caleb's gazes met unexpectedly in the sudden light.

Both were filled with surprise and confusion.

Caleb: ...Isn't this his sister-in-law? (I heard... she died, was the news wrong?)

Eliza: ... Isn't this Casper's younger brother?

Caleb turned to look at Casper, trying to find a clue on his face. "Dude, this..."

"Let me introduce her, her name is Valerie, a friend of mine," Casper introduced casually.

"Valerie?" Caleb seemed to understand.

Casper has amnesia; he must have forgotten his own wife.

A complex expression appeared on Caleb's face, mostly sympathy for Casper.

He awkwardly grinned. "Nice to meet you, Valerie."

Eliza started to have second thoughts.

"Maybe we should reschedule."
