Love Began with the First Meeting novel Chapter 151

It was already late winter and the night wind blew mercilessly outside.

Although the weather had been good for the past few days, the temperature varied significantly between day and night in A City.

As the night wore on, the wind's icy blasts swept across people's faces like sharp knives and the pain was extreme.

Molly and Steven were sitting on a bench in Moonlight Street, one of the busiest streets in A City at night. To others, this might have felt like paradise, yet the two felt like they were kicked down into hell once again.

Molly looked up at the bright neon lights of the Grand Night Casino. She felt numb, inside and outside.

She thought, 'Life is quite strange. One moment you are struggling to pay your bills, and in the next moment, you want nothing in life.'

Steven, who was sitting beside her, felt nervous about her silence. He was wrapped in his guilty conscience, yet many of the things that had happened were out of his control, like his addiction to gambling.

Molly's pale face was now flushed because of the cold wind and her eyes were still red and teary. Her long curly eyelashes kept fluttering and it seemed as if she was feeling doubtful and perplexed about the world around her.

Steven decided to break the long silence. With knitted eyebrows, he rubbed his hands together to warm them, and started,"Molly-"

But Molly interrupted him and said,"You know what, dad?" Her voice was hollow and it quickly drifted into the air like a light breeze. "I was kidnapped yesterday."

"What? When was this? How did that happen?" Steven's eyes widened in shock like large saucers. He examined Molly up and down, and asked her worriedly,"Did you get hurt?"

Molly shook her head as she looked away from the neon lights and stared at her father. The worried look written on his face was sincere. She knew that, although her father didn't care about her daily life too much, she still did have a place in his heart as his family member.

"During this past month, I've been kidnapped twice and I've fallen down from the staircase once," Molly recalled in a low voice. She felt sad when she saw Steven's contorted face, but she continued to say,"There's a cut in my back which I got during the first kidnap and another in my chest. The cut in the back was patched up, but it broke apart several times and it was healed again and again. At the beginning, it was really painful every time it broke, but gradually I got used to it."
