Eliza shot a frosty glare at Faithe and said, "Faithe, you're really dedicated to Casper, always putting Welton International first. If someone didn't know better, they'd think you were the lady of the house." "If you're upset about not getting that big bonus, I get it, but there's no need for this passive-aggressive attitude." Faithe's face turned a bit awkward. If the land deal went through, she would indeed get a sizable bonus. She couldn't deny that part of her frustration cfrom this. But having Eliza, of all people, see through her motives was something she wouldn't admit. Even though Eliza was Casper's wife, Faithe believed she was superior to Eliza in every other way.

"Mrs. Welton, you're quite the joker. I've been with Mr. Casper for years, and Welton International feels like my own home. How could I not be concerned when there's trouble at home?" Faithe stood up, repeating her usual line. "Mr. Casper is very busy and can't make tfor you. If you need anything, call me. I gave you my card last time." Eliza didn't say anything more.

Faithe shot her a disdainful look before heading out of the hospital room.

Just then, a nurse cin to administer Eliza's IV, stopping Faithe. "You need to stay. She needs someone to take care of her." "Have the hospital arrange for a caregiver and add the cost to the bill," Faithe replied coldly, then left quickly.

The nurse couldn't help but protest, "How can you just leave her like this?" Neither woman responded to the nurse.

Eliza moved her lips and said, "It's okay, I can manage on my own." The nurse sighed quietly and left after setting up the IV.

Eliza's body was on fire with pain. It felt like every inch of her skin was raw. Turning either way was uncomfortable, so she decided to sit up.

She was in a basic ward that didn't even have a bathroom. Needing to relieve herself, Eliza got up and started walking out, carrying her IV stand. She hadn't gone far when she heard someone call her name.

"Elle." She turned around and saw Renee.

"Renee?" "Are you sick?" Renee quickly took the IV stand from her hands. "Why is no one taking care of you?" "It's nothing serious." She noticed the food container in Renee's hands. "Someone in your family is in the hospital?" "My mother-in-law wasn't feeling well, and Daniel askedto bring her sfood. She's really picky about what she eats," Renee said casually.

"Older folks do tend to have weaker stomachs." "Mr. Casper... doesn't have tto take care of you?" Renee was puzzled. Casper was a prominent figure in Falconridge. If his wife was ill, he should at least have someone available to look after Eliza, even if he couldn't be there himself. This kind of neglect seemed out of character.

Eliza forced a smile. Unable to answer, she chose to stay silent.

"Do you need to go to the bathroom?" Renee asked, supporting Eliza, who was unsteady on her feet. "Is your foot hurting too? You seem to be limping." én.ls"It's okay, thank you." Eliza looked much more worn out. Seeing this, Renee felt a pang of sympathy. After they returned from the restroom, she sat in Eliza for a while.

"Elle, is Mr. Casper... not treating you well?" The content isonnovelenglish.net! room

Renee wasn't sure if she guessed right. She genuinely considered Eliza her best friend. That was why she 上 was concerned.

Eliza didn't like sharing her family troubles with others, not even with Chelsea her childhood friend. She seldom talked about such matters. X
