His Destructive, Toxic Love

"You don't have to worry about me. What's the worst he can do? Fight me?" Aaron had grown up with Casper, and although Casper had become unreasonable, Aaron knew deep down that wasn't his true nature. Aaron chuckled, "I can hold my own against him."

It was meant as a joke, yet Eliza still felt uneasy.

After she and Aaron had left, Casper returned to the hospital office alone. The tin was still on the floor, and some cookies inside hadn't spilled out. They were just lying there. He reached out, picking up the tin. The cute pink box had a funky look. The cookies inside were colorful. They had eyes and ears that were lifelike-clearly, she had put effort into them.

Eliza turned her face away. "Mr. Casper, weren't we going to discuss my mother's project?"

"Do you hate me?"

She found it amusing, "Isn't that quite normal?"

"What if I said I could help restart the project? Would you still hate me?"

Eliza was stunned.

What did he mean? Restart the project?
