CHAPTER 43

Carson assessed Elizabeth after she took a shower; He saw that it was ugly bruises, but thank God, nothing was broken, other than...

— Jack, that hand needs a lot of care, it was broken in two places, plus the four fingers. I'll put the splint on and medicate the pain, but you won't be able to hold anything in that hand for six weeks or more. Elizabeth, because she knows how to do it very well.

They laughed looking at her, and Elizabeth realized that they wanted to lighten the mood, and so she smiled, as she knew that both her friend and her husband only wanted to do her good.

That night started with Elizabeth, lying in Jack's arms, when he felt her very tense, he knew she needed to vent, but he also needed to fix his family's mistakes, so he started telling her everything about his mother. He noticed that she liked it; Jack knew that Elizabeth didn't like lying.

— If she wanted to test me, she could have at least introduced herself as her mother. But I understand her Jack. What my father did to her mother and brother is reason enough for her to hate me.

— But love... She doesn't hate you. She helped us look for you, she was very worried about you. My mother already went through similar things, when my uncle, my father's brother, kidnapped her and tried to rape her. My father saved her before he could.

— Like you, my love. I think the Thortons are heroes when it comes to saving their damsels in distress.

— Not all Thortons, my Bella! My uncle was a cold and evil man and now with regret I say that my brother is also on this list.

Elizabeth saw a sadness passing through Jack's eyes. She knew that since her father had passed away, her mother took care of them alone and Jack had to grow up quickly to help his mother take care of Tom, who was much smaller at the time.

— I'm sorry Elizabeth; for my mother approaching me like this and especially for what you went through. If it weren't for Tom, you wouldn't have gone through this and you wouldn't be hurt. I feel guilty; If I wasn't in your life, you wouldn't have...

— Jack Thornton, Stop it. You were and are the best thing that happened in my life. I don't know how to live without you. As for your brother, he made a very bad mistake; He let his anger overwhelm him to such an extent that he didn't realize the mistake he was making. I think he's a good person; When I saw him at school, I immediately saw that he was his brother, and I looked into his eyes and felt trust in him. There was something about him that told me that I was safe, even though I was alone with a stranger, but Charles came and started to instigate him and that was when I asked for help, but he lowered his head and then Charles took me.

Jack had tears streaming down his eyes, how could that woman still defend and talk about trusting Tom, after everything he did.

Jack explained why Wynn and his family hadn't shown up yet, but at no point did he talk about Frankison's appearance. Jack thought this should be something seen and not just talked about.

— Jack, can I ask you something?

He looked at her and saw in her eyes a mixture of fear and vulnerability. He would do anything for his wife and she needed to know about it.

— I'll do anything for you, Bella!

— Jack... love me... Kiss me and love me, the way only you know how, please...

—But are you hurt, love? Are you sure about that?

— I want you Jack! I want to forget he tried to touch me. Please honey.

And getting closer, Elizabeth kissed her husband, her lips were demanding, her body got closer and even though it was painful, she wanted to feel her husband, she wanted to forget that horror in Charles' hands. She insinuated herself into him, making his tongue enter his lips, she noticed her husband relaxing and a slight moan on his lips. With her good hand, she opened the first and second buttons of his pajama shirt and her hand stroked his chest hair. Jack was feeling hot, his blood was always boiling for this little woman, and there in a passionate kiss, he laid her on the bed, and loved her very slowly, driving them both crazy in love. They loved each other; And they needed to touch and feel, they needed each other, to overcome the fear of that day.

She fell asleep in his arms, and Jack, smiling before falling asleep, raised his thoughts to God, and gave thanks that she was alive. And looking at Elizabeth before her eyes closed, he whispered in her ear:

"I LOVE YOU BELLA!"
