Love Drug (Summer and Fraser) novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 A Harsh Reality

Trevor’s expression darkened, his voice low and cold. “How do you know it was her?”

Finished

“Because she hates me–hates that I took you from her, hates that I stole your attention. She’s making things up. Trevor Don’t believe her.”

Trevor clenched his jaw. “So even the part about us sleeping together was a lie? Weren’t you the one who told her?”

Peyton’s eyes filled with panic.

She had been so sure Summer wouldn’t make it out of that kidnapping alive

That was the only reason she had told her everything at the warehouse–because she wanted to see Summer consumed by jealousy and rage.

But those two kidnappers turned out to be useless cowards. Not only did they fail to get rid of her, but they let her walk away jalive.

Trevor slammed his palm against the armrest of his wheelchair. “Didn’t I tell you not to say anything?”

Tears instantly streamed down Peyton’s face. Trevor, please, you have to believe me! I didn’t mean to… That day, Summer and I were both kidnapped. She slapped me, yanked my hair, and made me beg for forgiveness. She told me I deserved to die! I lost control for a second–that’s the only reason I said anything. I never meant to… Summer pushed me into it.”

Trevor watched her cry, her delicate face twisted with grief. But his expression remained unreadable.

I’ve already sent people after the kidnappers. They’ll be caught soon enough. I hope you had nothing to do with this. But if you did… I won’t protect you this time.”

Peyton shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face. “Trevor, please, you have to believe me. I had nothing to do with those men! And besides, I’m pregnant–why would I take that kind of risk?”

The moment Peyton mentioned the pregnancy, a vein pulsed on Trevor’s forehead, and his gaze turned even colder.

He took a slow, deep breath before speaking, his tone chillingly firm. “Our family is Catholic. Premarital sex is against our beliefs. If you want to keep this baby, I’ll give you a sum of money and send you abroad. If you don’t, 111 arrange for a doctor”

Peyton’s chest tightened as she fought back tears. “How can you be so cruel to me? If it were Summer carrying your child. would you treat her this way?”

Trevor fell silent for a moment.

If Summer were the one pregnant..

There was no way he’d send her away. He would go against his entire family for her. He would protect her and their baby, no matter what.

But that was just wishful thinking.

As Trevor stood there, lost in thought, Peyton felt a wave of despair.

She had spent so much time scheming, playing every card she had, but in the end, this man was never truly hers.

Overcome with emotion, she turned and ran out of the room.

A week later, Summer was finally discharged from the hospital.

Chapter 144 A Harsh Reality

Julia stepped forward with a warm smile. “Summer, why don’t you come home with me after you’re discharged? I’ve already set up your room, and we have staff to take better care of you?

Summer’s expression remained neutral “No need. I’m going back to my own place

For the past two weeks, Julia had visited the hospital every day

Summer had tried to send her away multiple times, but she kept coming back

Even the meals Leona brought daily were all made by Julia

They weren’t particularly great, but Summer didn’t complain

Julia was in many ways, a good mother

The problem was for so many years, she had only shown love to Margaret creating ber like her real daughter while Summer was left in the background.

It wasn’t until recently that Julia had started regretting her actions and desperately trying to mend their relationship

Julia tried again. That won’t do. You just recovered–1 wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving you alone at home. If you don’t want to stay at the Stewart estate, how about I move in with you! That way, I can take care of you myself”

Summer felt a headache coming on

Before she could respond the sound of heels clicking against the four filled the room

ith me. Yvette declared confidently, her heels clicking sharply as she strode into the hospital room. I have a housekeeper, and there’s already a room set up for Summer. My place is clearly the best option

Julia had never been particularly fond of Yvette.
