Knowing that drinking was a part of these social events and that she wasn’t great at handling her liquor, she had brought along a strong hangover cure.


    Lindsey was curious if this medicine would be effective in her current state.


    She took the medicine, focusing on regting her breath and trying to rx.


    Slowly, her dizziness started to diminish, and the intense heat she was feeling began to subside.


    “That’s a relief.


    This medicine really does the trick.


    ”


    Just as Lindsey was about to leave, she heard sounds of retching and a man’s pained moaning from the private room’s bathroom.


    That voice sounded like Sumner’s.


    Rushing over, Lindsey knocked on the bathroom door.


    “Sumner, is that you in there?”


    “Linds… Please, just go.


    Leave me be.


    ”


    “Sumner, are you feeling drunk? Come on out.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    I have something for hangovers in my bag.


    Let me help you.


    ”


    Lindsey reached for the hangover remedy on the sofa, but as she turned back, she was suddenly grabbed byrge hands.


    Sumner’s tall figure pressed her down onto the sofa.


    His face was flushed a deep red, his eyes betraying a strong desire.


    He ced his hand beside Lindsey on the sofa.


    The blue veins on his hand were prominent, and the heavy scent of alcohol enveloped her.


    “I told you to go away.


    Why didn’t you?”


    Lindsey understood that Sumner was affected just like her.


    “Sumner, try to stay calm.


    Here, take this medicine.


    You’ll feel better once you’ve had it.


    ” Lindsey put her hand against his chest and handed him the medicine.


    He knocked the medicine away in frustration, sending it rolling to the floor.


    “It’s no use.


    I’ve tried every means, but nothing works.


    ”


    Sumner had drunk much more than Lindsey, both of them victims of a potent aphrodisiac unique to the club.


    The more they drank, the harder it was to dissolve.


    This particr drink was a well-kept secret in exclusive clubs, known only to a handful of regrs and used in special transactions.


    It resembled champagne in taste, making it hard to tell apart.


    To avoid causing any harm to Lindsey, Sumner confined himself in the bathroom, sshing cold water on his face repeatedly.


    Yet, his internal struggle remained as intense as ever.


    He leaned over the toilet, forcing himself to vomit in an effort to quell his overwhelming desire.


    The physical difort helped subdue his feelings momentarily, but hearing Lindsey’s voice from outside broke his fragile resolve.


    A single thought echoed in his mind.
