Chapter 72

• The doctor confirmed that the drug was a narcotic and prolonged use of it was very harmful, that week was indeed crucial as Michael Deloux wakes up screaming for Marcella and asking for the drugs, he was always agitated and throws things when not given, Derek had flushed all the drugs down the toilet and it hurts to see his father crying like a child while seeing for his dose, Marcella would rot in jail, he promised, "dad you have to be strong, you'll overcome this I promise" but his father wasn't getting stronger, instead, he was gradually fading, he had no choice than to take him to a rehab facility. His father screamed at him, cursing him when he was being taken away, tears flowed down Kathleen's cheeks at the sight, she knew father and son were suffering but Marcella had already done the damage.
• His father kept asking for Marcella to be released, " she mustn't be in jail, you have to get her out" he begged Derek, holding onto his pants, Derek clasped his father's hands in his, "just get better first dad, we'll talk about that" his dad became agitated at his words, throwing tantrums as he was dragged away, he fought against the officials taking him to the rehab center, his bulged eyes sought out Kathleen, "don't let them take me, please, I don't want to go, I'm fine, I promise I won't ask for the drugs anymore, just don't let them take me" he begged
• Kathleen's heart went out to him, "you'll soon be back, just focus on recovering okay"
