His Destructive, Toxic Love

After the hospital was bought out, a lot of staff changes happened. Everyone was busy packing up their things.

Dr. Sanders walked in, knocking on the door with a document in hand. "Dr. Martin, the company that acquired our hospital is called CSP Corporation."

CSP Corporation was a familiar name in Falconridge. This company was all about acquisitions and investments. They were involved in various industries and had a strong presence in Falconridge for years. Especially in the last year, their activities had been all over the news.

"Who's the boss?" Aaron asked.

Dr. Sanders shook his head. "No idea, no one's seen the boss."

"Got it. Go ahead and do your thing."

Eliza was getting anxious. "Aaron, if we knew who the boss was, could we try negotiating to keep the project going?"

"It's the only option we have right now."

The research project wasn't the only issue. If the hospital didn't provide the space, the overseas licensing would be terminated, and once the project was shelved, restarting it would be extremely difficult. It was like signing a contract and then unilaterally terminating it-that was a breach of contract. Losing credibility would make future collaborations nearly impossible.

He motioned for Eliza to stay calm. "I'll call the team abroad first to see if it's possible to transfer the project to another hospital, perhaps one owned by the Martin family, and continue there."

This brought new hope to Eliza. Her eyes sparkled. "If that's really possible, that would be amazing."

Aaron went to make the call, while Eliza waited anxiously.

When he returned, his brow was furrowed. "They said an application was filed to discontinue the project

this morning, and the teel???

fee has already been sent to their

team's account. The project has

been terminated."

It was like a punch to the gut. Eliza felt her mind go blank, and she nearly collapsed. Aaron quickly helped her to sit down. "It shouldn't have happened so quickly."

had happened, and there was no

chance to change the outcome. Tears filled Eliza's eyes; the discontinuation of this project

meant that her mother's chance of

survival was now slim. Aaron gently

patted her back. Thi

outcome no one wanted to see.

Suddenly, the door was flung open. Casper walked in. By his side was Faithe, carrying a stack of thick documents. "Dr. Martin, you must sign the termination letter for Rose's project later. The group needs to make a backup."

Aaron stared at the documents in shock, then back at Casper with astonishment. "It's you? CSP Corporation is yours?"

How could it be Casper? If it really was him, why would he discontinue the project?

With tears in her eyes, Eliza turned back to stare at Casper. It was him! He was the one who acquired Hope Hospital? He was the one who discontinued her mother's project.

The hatred in her eyes was palpable; she walked up to Casper and slammed the tin of homemade cookies onto him. The tin fell to the floor, breaking open, and the shaped cookies scattered everywhere.

Casper met her gaze emotionlessly. "You're a monster," she said, grabbing his shirt and tearing at it. "What's your reason for doing this? Why? Casper, why? Tell me!"
