Love Began with the First Meeting

At the rehab center in A City. Daniel just sat there, dispirited and lethargic.

He stared at Molly and begged, "Molly, I don't want to be here.

Let me out.

I promise, I will behave myself. I will never use drugs once I'm out. Please let me go. I don't want to stay here."

Molly had never expected that only a few days after parting from him, Daniel would become such a mess. Hearing his pleas, her heart softened; her eyes teared up.

"I..."

"Little Molly," Eric interrupted her, "If you want to see Daniel die of drug addiction, then you can let him out."

Molly knew that Eric was right, but she didn't want to see Daniel suffer either.

"No, Molly, let me go," Daniel grasped Molly's hand as he glared at Eric. His voice was agitated and eager, "Let me out. If I have to stay here any longer, I might as well kill myself. Do you want to see me die, Molly?"

"Daniel..." Molly said. She didn't want to ignore his request - he looked so desperate and miserable. But, she made the most reasonable choice. Daniel used to be such a good boy. He was a straight A student with great self-discipline. But now, he was just a junkie. It broke her heart. In the past, Daniel assisted and supported her through her hardships. Now, it was her turn to help him. "Daniel, you must go through this detox."

"No, Molly, I don't want to live like this," Daniel shouted and cried, "How can you just stand there and watch me suffer? How can you do this to me?"

Eric frowned and was about to say something when Molly forcibly pulled her hand back and cried, "You will never see me again unless you promise to get rid of this drug addiction."

Sensing Molly's resolution, Daniel stopped crying and put on a spiteful look. He shot a nasty glance at her, then said hatefully, "I get it... You are with Mr. Brian Long now. You have his kid. So you don't need me any more. Your brother means nothing to you now, huh?"

No matter how many differences he and Brian had, he would never let another person smear Brian's name in front of him. If it wasn't for Brian and Little Molly, he would have already killed Daniel a thousand times already.
