Chapter 481 He always knew that once she woke up, she'd want a divorce.
"Please, can we not get divorced?" he pleaded, practically on his knees in front of her, holding her hands like his life depended on it. "You promised to givea chance. You can't just go back on that." "When did I ever promise you anything?" she shot back. "You made that promise to yourself." Alright then.
Even if he had just imagined she agreed, in his mind, she had given him a chance. There was no turning back now.

When Caleb got the call, he arrived at Casper's place in no tflat.
Seeing Eliza awake felt like a miracle.
She was in good spirits, thanks to not being out for too long. If she'd been in a coma for a year or more, she'd probably be a shadow of her former self.
"Wow, sis, I guess my surgery wasn't for nothing." Eliza glanced up at Caleb, who was grinning ear to ear, remembering how he'd trashed everyone else during the surgery.

Casper cover, sitting down next to her and naturally taking herhand in his, kissing it gently. "Tired? Maybe you should rest upstairs?" "Casper, can you not touch me?" She pulled her hand away, shifting to the side. "I want to leave tomorrow."
"Leave to where?" He followed her move, looking puzzled "You're not fully recovered yet, and you're this eager to get away from me?" "It's not about escaping, it's..." She
