His Destructive, Toxic Love

"Robin admitted it himself." Casper roughly pinched her chin. "Eliza, you don't know your own brother at all."

Nova had handed Casper a pair of underwear stained with semen. After a DNA comparison, it was undeniably Robin's. Casper's loathing for the Pinotti family had reached its peak.

"Bring someone in," Casper called out. A man in a lab coat approached, handing Casper a brown paper bag.

Casper tossed the bag in front of Eliza. "This is the evidence."

With trembling fingers, Eliza picked up the brown paper bag, untied the string, and pulled out several test reports. Despite the conclusions staring back at her, she couldn't believe them. "How... Robin would never do something like this. They're siblings. Before Robin's leg injury, he would take Nova home from school every day on his bike. They were so close. How could he..." After Nova and Eliza switched identities, Robin and Nova barely saw each other. How could a rape have occurred?

"When did this happen?" Eliza asked, her eyes reddening.

"Before we sent him to Mercy Hospital."

No. This couldn't be true. Robin was a disabled man working in a factory, screwing bolts every day. How could he commit such an act?

"There must be some misunderstanding. Robin works every day and never takes a single day off. He wouldn't do this. Nova must be lying." Eliza clutched at Casper's pant leg, pleading for him to re- investigate.

"We have both eyewitness and existing physical evidence. I'm already showing him mercy by not sending him to the police." Casper's cold gaze was filled with disgust as he looked at her. "The Pinotti family really sickens me."

Was all this really the truth?

Eliza was lost in thought. Robin had

already lost his ability to

communicate; he had essentially

become a living invalid. Whether innocent or not, she could no longer learn the truth from Robin.

"Even if it's true, he's already paid the price. Can you let him go?"

If Robin stayed here any longer, it would only lead to his death. The man holding Robin's life in his hands was right in front of her. Aside from begging him, she had no other option.

Casper lifted his eyes, his dark gaze

contemplating Eliza kneeling before him, weighing what alternative option he should offer her next. After a moment, he lightly lifted his eyes and asked, "Have you thought about the divorce?"

Eliza stared at him with a vacant gaze. She didn't know what else he wanted. For now, returning to that home was her only option. She had no choice.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll come home." She unsteadily rose from the ground. "Can you let my brother go, Mr. Casper?"

Ha. Mr. Casper. Those words gave him a headache.

"His treatment isn't finished yet. He will naturally be released when it's completed; it won't be long."

She didn't insist on an immediate

release, knowing Casper had already made a concession. Her fingertips were drained of color as she tightly clutched the reports. All the way back home, she stared out the car window in a daze. She wouldn't believe the story, even if the whole world believed Robin had forced

himself on Nova. It made no sense

at all.

Closing her eyes, she suddenly asked, "You haven't performed a physical castration on Robin, have you?"

"I've considered it." Casper didn't deny it.

She laughed in despair. "Then I beg you, don't do it."

"In your eyes, is Nova's innocence not important at all?" Casper's voice was icy as he turned to look at Eliza. "Or are you saying Robin doing such a thing was at your behest?"
