Chapter 4
John Shaw grew stronger and regained his health. However, his temple still ached. Elizabeth tried her best to be there for him but she was very exhausted. John noticed this and tried to get her to relax. But Liz only made herself busy. John worried but Liz only shrugged it off. She convinced her husband that she was fine. And he believed her. Everything was fine until one day while John was away on an urgent business trip.
It happened on a Friday afternoon. John had been gone for a long time and Liz was worried sick; literally. But she was up and walking around, still quite exhausted. Eventually, she got on her horse and went out for a ride, thinking that she needed fresh air. But her eyes where heavy and she could barely keep her head up. Then, it happened! A beaver happened to be crossing in front of the horse. The beaver seemed to come out of nowhere and as a result, spooked the horse. The horse reared and bucked. Elizabeth barely gripped the reins, but the horse took off at a fast speed. Liz was frightened. She couldn't control the horse. As they went deeper into the forest, the forest grew thicker. Elizabeth couldn't hold on much longer. And just as she was going to let go, a log met her head, knocking her off of her horse and putting her in a deep slumber.
