CHAPTER 42

Elizabeth at home that night told Charlotte and Tom everything, and warned that no one should do anything; She, as a teacher, knew from the books she had already read, that when a person has amnesia, they could not be forced to find their memory, it could harm them and she would rather live alone, without him in her life, than see him. suffering even more. That she was the luckiest person in the world and happiest to know he was alive.

Tom took Lizzie in his arms and gave her the biggest hug he'd ever seen. A bear hug, full of kisses on the cheek and messing her up, more than ever, would pamper and give love to that woman. It was his sister. The best person he has ever seen, with a heart of gold. Now he understood very well why Jack fell in love with her.

Later, when Lizzie had gone up to bed, Charlotte and Tom, drinking tea, couldn't stop praising her.

— Mother, as someone, can be so good, she cares more about him than herself. And she's here alone, pregnant, facing everything alone...

— Tom, she has a heart of gold, my son. Only a woman like Lizzie could have changed Jack's mind and filled his heart. She loves him so intensely. In addition to being beautiful on the outside, today we see that her inside is even more beautiful and it was this love that won over her brother and this entire city. And even now, he has no memory, he still loves his Bella like crazy.

— Mom, we need to warn Wynn and Bill about this. We all came to work together, remember...

And so a decision was made there, between the two Thortons.

The next morning, after Lizzie went to school, Charlotte announced that she would be late because she needed to send some telegrams. Meanwhile, in Bill's office, Tom had already gathered a certain group. Wynn, Bill, Tom, Henry, Gab, Nathan, Patrick, Marlen, Simon, Abigail, Frankison, everyone was already waiting for Charlotte and she came in and spoke with her hand on her hip:

— Elizabeth, you know that Philip is my son Jack, and she will try to find out how he got like this, and yesterday she warned me and Tom that she does not accept direct interference, as it could harm his health, and that she prefers to see him in person. far away and alive, than to somehow hurt him.

— How does she know? Simon asked in amazement.

— She said she knows her husband's kisses. And that alone, makes your fingers tingle. Tom smiled as he spoke.

— I told you Marlen, that she has a crystal ball, but you didn't listen to me...

—Simon, be quiet.

Bill and Wynn ran their hands through their hair and then laughed together. They knew she was impossible to safe.

Tom and Charlotte told everything they knew about the previous day. There were more reasons to watch those two. Abigail, deep down, also knew he was Jack, but her happiness was now enormous.

Outside, someone was lurking, just listening; and as soon as everyone left the room, leaving only Frankison, Bill and Wynn, a somewhat dazed Philip entered that room, and looking from Bill to Wynn, he released everything he knew, everything he was feeling and said that he loved Elizabeth and that baby, whether it was Jack or not, but he urgently needed to find out what was going on, because someone was manipulating or messing with the woman he loved and he wouldn't allow anyone to hurt his Bella.

Bill had tears in his eyes, he knew that there was a man in an inner war, to discover the whole truth of his life, but who loved that teacher very much who was important to so many in that city. And together they would look for solutions, getting up from the chair, he went to Philip and wrapped him in a big hug, Jack was a son to him, and there was his son. It was agreed that the next day, he would go with the transfer delegation, and so he would look for some answers, but without attracting anyone's attention. Frankison, Marlen and Patrick would also go together on the transfer. As for Nathan, Gab and Simon, with Bill and Wynn, would protect Elizabeth.

That afternoon, after his rounds, Philip stopped by Elizabeth's house and they went to take a look at baby Thorton's new room, as she was finishing the decorations. As she was already entering her eighth month, she wanted to get everything ready. It was a beautiful room, all bright yellow, with the crib that Jack had made for Robert's sister, with little drawings on the wall that Elizabeth had made, the room was beautiful, it looked like a little forest, there was a white dresser that Bill gave as a gift. present, and on top of several photos mixing between her and a mountie, it was Jack. Taking one of the photos, Philip looked straight into Jack's eyes and there he saw himself. That was a room that spoke of the deep love of a woman for her husband, of a mother for her son, it was a fairytale room. After saying goodbye to her, explaining that he would be on duty for the next few weeks, and would be very busy with the transfer of prisoners, that was when he found himself being pulled by her and a long, soft kiss on her lips... They were wonderful moments, which to me it felt like hours of a kiss of pure love.

—Go and come back to me. I will wait for you forever. I will be here.

And with a peck on my lips, she made me a promise of love for a lifetime, together and happy.
