Love Drug Novel

Chapter 64 One Splash , One Sorry Finished Without the slightest hesitation , Summer raised her hand and swung it hard across Trevors face .

The sharp crack of the slap sliced through the heavy air , echoing in the tense silence of the room .

Peyton gasped , unable to contain her shock .

Summer , how could you … How could you slap Trevor ?! But Trevor seemed completely unfazed by the burning pain that bloomed across his cheek as if he hadnt even felt it .

He simply stood there , eyes wide , staring at the woman who had slapped him once and now dared to slap him again .

Those dark eyes of his burned with a wild , scaring rage , as if an uncontrollable fire had been ignited within them .

Trevor gritted his teeth , his voice raw with disbelief and fury as he roared , Summer , you dare to slap me ?! Summer lifted her chin , unwavering as she met his glare head on .

Why not ? You can grab me , so why cant I slap you ? Trevors face turned an ominous shade of dark , as if his fury was about to boil over .

He dragged his tongue slowly across his back molars , then forced out his next words through clenched teeth , each syllable sharp as broken glass .

Apologize .

To Peyton .

In Trevors mind , it was so simple .

As long as Summer was willing to lower her head , admit her mistake , and beg for forgiveness , he would let it go .

He would overlook the dirt on her body , her betrayal , all of it .

He would turn the page and move forward .

He would make her his wife .

Give her the title of Mrs.

Larson that so many envied .

For a moment , Peytons tightly clenched heart loosened .

A flash of triumph crossed her delicate face .

As she expected , Trevor was still on her side .

Summer laughed .

A short , sharp laugh full of scorn .

I didnt pour hot water on that woman , she said , Why should I apologize ? And besides , Im not the same Summer you used to toy with .

Not anymore .

Trevor felt it .

The difference in Summer .

But the fire in his chest consumed that flicker of awareness , burning away the last of his reason and guilt .

He glared at her , his expression hard as iron .

Summer knew how stubborn Trevor was .

A cold , mocking smile tugged at the corner of her lips .

1/3 15:36 Sat , 5 Apr 7 .

Chapter 64 One Splash , One Sorry 62 % Finished Peyton , since you say Im the one who poured water on you and you want me to apologize , then I might as well actually pour it on you first before I apologize .

Summer suddenly turned on her heel , striding with purpose toward the coffee table .

Her movements were swift and precise as she grabbed a bottle of mineral water , twisted the cap off in one smooth motion , and without hesitation , swung her arm wide .

The cold water burst from the bottle and drenched Peyton in an instant .

Ah ! Peyton shrieked , caught completely off guard .

Her hair clung to her face in wet strands , her clothes soaked through , water dripping from her lashes so heavily she could not even open her eyes .

Across from her , Summer stood with her arms crossed lazily in front of her chest , her posture casual , her gaze full of contempt .

Sorry , Summer said flatly , not a hint of sincerity in her voice .

There .

Satisfied ? She tilted her head , the sarcasm in her tone slicing deep .

Want me to apologize again ? One splash , one sorry .

She clicked her tongue .

What a shame that this was cold water .

If it were hot … Summer gave a slow , dangerous smile .

I wouldnt mind saying sorry twice .

Peytons eyes turned red as she wiped the water from her face , her breath hitching with pitiful sobs .

She stumbled toward Trevor , grabbing onto his arm desperately as tears streamed down her face .

Trevor , she cried , her voice shaking , help me … please ! Why is Summer doing this to me ? What did I do wrong ? Trevors brows were drawn so tight they seemed permanently knotted .

His expression was dark and unreadable as he stood there , unmoving .

He had never seen Summer like this before .

She was like a stranger now .

Summer gave him a fleeting glance , emotionless .

She did not wait for him to speak or react .

She spun on her heel and walked briskly toward the hospital room door .

Summer flung the door open and nearly collided with Josh .

He had heard Peytons scream .

Even if Trevor was his employer , even Josh had reached his limit .

He had to step in and see what was happening.

Summer , he said sharply , what did you do to Peyton ? I apologized , she said , voice crisp .

Didnt you hear it ? Apologize ? Joshs voice was low , dangerous .

You think an apology would make Peyton cry like that ? Not a chance .

She must have done something to Peyton .

Josh did not believe Summer .

His teeth clenched tight as he glared at Summer with the intensity of a wild beast ready to pounce , his fury 2/3 15:36 Sat , 5 Apr 1 Chapter 64 One Splash , One Sorry smiled at him .

Finished As a doctor , she said lazily , her gaze sweeping over him like he was something stuck to the bottom of her shoe , youre supposed to save lives .

Maybe try doing less thinking about violence and more about medicine .

Though , judging by your temper, Im guessing youre not much good at it either .

With that , she brushed past him without a second glance .

Josh quickly stormed into the room .

Inside , Peyton was still huddled close to Trevor , her red rimmed eyes glistening with unshed tears .

But Trevors gaze was fixed on the open door , on the spot where summer had just vanished .

Peyton wished she could rush after Summer and slap her across the face until it swelled .

But she could not .

Not with Trevor standing right here .

She forced it down , smothered the fury under a mask of gentle sorrow .

Trevor , Summer was just angry .

Thats why she lost control like that .

She bit her lip , tears clinging to her lashes as she looked up at him with misty eyes .

For you , I can forgive her .

Josh snapped his head toward her , his expression darkening .

Youre too kind , Peyton , he spat .

That woman , shes a vile , heartless thing ! And youre still speaking up for her ? Thats exactly why she keeps bullying you .

He turned toward Trevor , his tone hard and sharp .

Trevor , Summer needs to be taught a lesson .

You shouldnt let her anywhere near Peyton .

Peyton is already in a fragile state .

She cant take another shock .

Trevor did not answer .

He just stood there , his entire body emanating a glacial chill .
