Love Drug Novel

Chapter 65 Drowning In Regret Finished Enough .

Trevor cast a fleeting glance at Peyton .

He did not hug her or comfort her like he used to .

Your surgery is tomorrow .

Focus on that .

Dont overthink .

Then his eyes shifted to Josh , dark and unreadable .

As for you , your only responsibility is to take care of Peyton .

Everything else is none of your concern .

With that , Trevor turned abruptly and wanted to leave the room .

Peyton watched as Trevor strode away ; a thin mist of tears welled up in her beautiful eyes , blurring her vision .

Her eyes reddened instantly , gleaming like delicate rubies , making her look like a pitiful little rabbit abandoned in the snow .

Josh clenched his fists tightly at his sides .

He turned sharply and rushed after Trevor , grabbing his arm and forcing him to stop .

Trevor , Josh called out , his voice taut with anger and disbelief .

Peyton was scalded with hot water by Summer , humiliated and tormented .

And you just walk away? She needs you .

Trevors face was expressionless .

What she needs right now is a doctor , he replied coldly.

Georges grip tightened , desperation flashing in his eyes .

But youre her cure .

Without you , shell die .

The storm swirling in Trevors dark eyes deepened , like black clouds churning before a violent tempest .

It was these very words and beliefs that had kept him bound to Peyton all these years .

This was the reason why he did not manage to save Summer on the wedding day .

And because of that , she was ruined .

Her innocence was destroyed .

Trevors jaw clenched , and thin red veins spread across his cold , dark gaze .

Josh , he said , his tone razor sharp , Im not paying you to interfere with my choices .

Do your job .

If you cant , Ill find someone else who will .

Josh stood frozen in disbelief .

Trevor had always been difficult , moody at best , but Joshs brother had been Trevors closest friend in school .

Because of that bond , Trevor had always treated him like family and a younger brother when he became Peytons doctor .

But now ? Trevor was ready to cast him aside without a second thought because of Summer .

Slowly , Joshs hand slipped away from Trevors arm .

I understand , he said at last , voice low .

At the bar , Trevor downed glass after glass , the amber liquid going down hard and fast .

He drank viciously and recklessly .

His head throbbed as the alcohol pounded against his skull , but he did not ston 1/3 15:37 Sat , 5 Apr 10 Chapter 65 Drowning In Regret over him , colder than death itself .

That look alone was enough to shut him up .

But he could not help wondering why Trevor had only asked him out tonight .

None of the usual group was here .

Bobby and the others had not even been called .

Was he just supposed to sit here and watch the man drink himself into an early gravet Finished Caleb sighed heavily , glancing at the floor littered with expensive wine bottles , some still rolling lazily with cach shift of Trevors body .

At this rate , he thought grimly , Trevor was not going home tonight .

He was going to drink himself to death right here .

Unable to hold it in anymore , Caleb finally broke the tense silence .

Trevor , he said , his tone low but serious , what happened ? Trevors bloodshot eyes lifted slightly , dazed with alcohol , but under the red haze was a darkness even deeper than before .

After a long pause , he spoke , his voice rough and strained .

The day I was marrying Peyton , Summer was kidnapped .

Yeah , I remember , Caleb said slowly .

But you said it was fake .

He remembered that day well .

He and Bobby , along with a few other friends , had gone to the wedding mostly out of respect for Trevor .

They did not stay long .

Most of the guests were Peytons close friends .

At the wedding , Trevor had received a call from Summer , saying she was kidnapped .

Bobby had laughed it off when word got around .

Of all the days to get kidnapped , Bobby even sneered , she picked the day Trevor and Peyton got married ? What a joke .

Even a three year old wouldnt believe that crap .

Trevors brows furrowed .

His voice was heavy .

No , it wasnt fake .

For a moment , Caleb was too stunned to breathe .

What ? It wasnt fake ? The word exploded from him as he shot to his feet , knocking over his barstool in the process .

Calebs reaction was instant , words slipping out before his brain could catch up .

No wonder Summer wanted to break up with you ! If it were me , if I were a woman , I wouldnt just break up .

Id carve up the bastard who pulled something like that with my own hands .

Trevor stared at his friends outburst .

But for the first time , he did not argue .

Instead , he gave a bitter , self- mocking smile .

Not just the kidnapping ; she may have even gotten raped by those kidnappers … 2/3 15:37 Sat , 5 Apr Chapter 65 Drowning In Regret Finished Though he felt guilty , it ate at him that Summers body was not clean anymore .

Despite how much he told himself he should not care , he did .

Caleb , realizing too late how harsh his words had been , glanced sideways .

Trevors face was blank , drained of color and life .

It was the first time Caleb had ever seen him like this , and for a moment , he felt a pang of pity .

Trevor , he started slowly .

If you really dont care about Summer anymore , if she wants to leave , maybe you should let her go .

Trevors bloodshot eyes snapped up , blazing red .

You think its up to you people to decide whether I give a damn or not ? Caleb fell silent for a moment , but curiosity gnawed at him , something he wanted to ask for a long time .

If you care so much about Summer , what about Peyton ? Everyone thinks you care more about Peyton .

What is it ? You want both women ? Trevor picked up the glass of burning liquor and downed it in one harsh gulp , his throat working as if swallowing poison .

Peyton is my responsibility .

Her body ended up like this because of me .

Because years ago , my mother forced her out of Havenbrook .

She went to the Ameros , spiraled into depression , and then got hit by a car .

If I dont take care of her , she wont survive .
