Numbed (The White Coat Series)

My name is Dr. Jason Silvers. I was a drug addict.Well… I am a drug addict. That’s why I can’t help but lose myself to the painkillers. The ones I needed after getting shot.I did need them… right?I wanted to stop but I couldn’t help myself. I felt the hole underneath me become deeper and deeper. I tried gripping onto something, something to keep me afloat, but I was just becoming more and more numb.That’s when I realized; it was her all along.Courtney Diaz, the feisty, personable, and drop-dead beautiful college volunteer at the hospital. She was my cure. She was what would drag me out of the numbness.Except that wasn't the only thing that she had the potential of dragging out. My past is something I’m not proud of, and now it was coming back to haunt us.Even then, I wasn't going to lose her. There was no way.She was my drug now.
