Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCaroline stepped out of his room and sank into the living room sofa, her emotions all over the place. Dillon handed her a steaming cup of coffee and whispered, "Try not to get into it with Mr. Casper, he's already in a tough spot." "I wasn't arguing with him," Caroline replied, taking a sip. "I just want him to face life head-on and take care of his injuries." She knew his stubborn streak all too well. He'd act like he didn't care about Eliza, but deep down, she was sure he was dying to see her. Otherwise, why would he show up at the award ceremony? "Dillon, what exactly did the doctors say about his condition?" "Well, Mr. Casper's healing up decently. The fracture's pretty bad, but it missed the vital spots. It'll mend with time. But those burns... they're gonna need a lot of surgery, at least three years' worth." Three years. And that's if he actually goes through with it. Otherwise, it's just wishful thinking.
"But he... he doesn't even want to start treatment." Caroline's voice was tinged with worry.
Dillon knew Casper better than anyone. He'd tried every trick in the book to convince him, but nothing seemed to stick.
"The thing is, what really weighs on Mr. Casper's mind is Eliza. She's the reason he'd consider getting better." But right now, that seemed like a long shot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"When he insisted we tell Eliza he was dead, I couldn't wrap my head around it. Did he think he wasn't going to make it? Or was there more to it?" Caroline had never gotten her head around this. Even if he wanted to spare Eliza from being dragged down, shouldn't he have asked her what she wanted? Why make such a drastic decision? Dillon had been by Casper's side through it all, so he had the clearest insight into his choices back then.
"When they pulled Mr. Casper from the wreck, they almost declared him dead on the spot. He used his last bit of strength to plan for Eliza and their son's future. The doctors weren't optimistic, said even survived, he'd be a shell of his former self. But then, against all odds, Mr. Casper clawed his way back to life and was recovering better than anyone expected." "Mr. Casper doesn't regret his decision. But with his burns and scars, how can he feel confident enough to face Eliza?" "Ms. Caroline, you're his sister. You know how proud he is. That crash broke him, piece by piece. Until his heart mends, it's best not to bring Eliza up." Caroline was at a loss for words. Her fingers traced the rim of her coffee cup as she stared into the distance. "Dillon." She looked up, meeting his serious gaze. "How long are you planning on staying in France?" "Could be a year, maybe two," he shrugged. "Depends on how Casper's doing. I'm here for him." "I think you should keep tabs on Eliza..." Caroline was also set on finding out if Eliza was expecting. "If she is pregnant, as the months go by, it'll get harder for her to manage. Remember how tough it was for her with Brock?"
Dillon was taken aback, "She's really carrying Mr. Casper's child? If that's true, why hasn't she mentioned it? Even if not to me, she should have told you or the old lady. Handling this alone just isn't smart."
