Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 327

"There were about 80 people, I think. I was still hungover, and my brother didn't wake me up."

Benjamin's eyes filled with tears as he slapped himself hard.

"Drinking screws everything up. I swear I'll never drink again."

Carlisle sighed softly.

"Don't beat yourself up. Even if you hadn't been drunk, your brother wouldn't have taken you along."

Benjamin was very close to his brother, Heath.

Knowing how dangerous it would be to confront Luke at his hideout, Heath chose to leave Benjamin behind.

"Carlisle, I want to see my brother," Benjamin choked out.

He and Heath had relied on each other for years.

During their time on the streets, Heath went hungry so Benjamin wouldn't have to.

His brother was his world. If Heath fell, his world would collapse.

Carlisle understood how Benjamin felt and tried to comfort him.

"Your brother just had surgery, and it's really late. Let's go see him tomorrow, okay?"

"Thanks, Carlisle," Benjamin said, wiping his tears.

"Who's managing your businesses now?"

"My brother hired a manager. He's been handling everything."

"Good. You should return and oversee things for now."

Carlisle stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"Okay, Carlisle."

Benjamin stood up, ready to leave.

Carlisle suddenly asked, "By the way, did any of the guys make it back?"

"Yeah, about ten of them."

"Bring one over."

Carlisle wanted to understand the events.

Heath was always very careful.

Knowing his personality, he wouldn't have made a move against Luke unless he was absolutely sure he could pull it off.

Deciding to take on Luke and ending up seriously injured, with everyone else captured, didn't add up.

Carlisle felt there had to be more to the story.
