Hello, I'm here again, bringing you a new chapter. I hope this story is something that will catch your attention, bringing you back to my page, so don't skimp on the comments, fall in love with our Jack and Elizabeth, get angry with the Thatcher family and Charles, who in my opinion and what I've seen in the series, would be people willing to do anything to get what they want. There will be a few chapters, where we will show the evil of various people, but the struggle of our couple would only be valued after going through so many problems.

For those of you who like Jack Thorton as much as I do, this story, along with others I've already written and others I'm about to release, will be very well received.

But on my page there's also a story with the N/E couple, because a little while ago I entered the contest here and I had to choose between Nathan and Lucas, and unfortunately I couldn't see Lucas as an ideal match, Nathan's story is going slowly (I lack something/writer's block), but even though the other writers have abandoned their stories and the contest has been canceled, I'm going to give the story a happy ending, because I think those who are following deserve my respect.

I respect each and every one of you, I will always post stories here so that every week there will be chapters and every one that I post make sure that at least half of it is already written and several, because my proposal is to make a story with a happy ending.

And forgive me for the English, if you have any mistakes, don't forget that I only translate them from Portuguese to English via google translate.

CHAPTER 77

Meanwhile, Carson's ward was buzzing with activity, with the city's mounties already waiting at the door after being notified of what had happened.

Faith warned Jack that they would soon be able to enter, but they needed to wait for Carson to finish making his assessments and only then would they know how to deal with them.

Wynn, Frankison and Jack looked at each other, they knew that after a coma and a long time unconscious, many people couldn't remember anything.

- I can't believe we now have the chance to really know what happened in there. Jack said.

- We're going to find out everything now, and we're going to catch the culprits. Wynn said seriously.

Frankison knew his father, and he knew that he wouldn't let this go unnoticed. No one else was going to put Elizabeth in danger, his father's alert was on, he laughed...

Carson arrived and smiled...

- We have some good news. The two of them have woken up... they don't remember much, they're still weak and confused, but they only have one concern when they talk about great danger: Elizabeth.

The men looked at each other and then followed Carson. They were in their uniforms and introduced themselves, but Wynn noticed that the young mountie were wary, as if their uniforms didn't inspire safety, so he decided to use another tactic...

- I'm Elizabeth's father, this is her twin brother and this is her husband...

The two mountie who had just woken up introduced themselves. They asked to see the girl called Elizabeth, and said that they had seen the prisoner with her photo on the steps of a church, so there was no point in trying to trick them, because they knew who the girl was and wanted to talk to her and if those three mountie didn't call her they wouldn't pass on the information about what had happened.

Having done so, Carson arrived at the door of the infirmary and shouted to the first person he saw passing in the street.

- Pastor Frank, come here!

- What is it, Carson?

- I need your help, I need you to run and explain everything.

- Jack! Is your wife at home or at school right now?

- At home, Frank, she's still off duty after the attack.

Carson continued:

- I need you to bring Elizabeth here as soon as possible, without telling her anything. Do you promise in the name of God?

Carson looked at Frank, and at that moment the shepherd saw that the doctor needed to take that oath. And looking at the table in the corner of the ward, he walked slowly over to it and took the Bible in his hands, and on it swore...

The two mountie on the stretcher realized that the pastor was a trustworthy person and smiled.

Frank looked for Elizabeth, she was very nervous, thinking that something had happened to her husband. She had every reason to think so, after all, being called to the infirmary was not a common occurrence, and when she got close to that place, Frank could no longer control her and in a mad dash, she ran into the infirmary screaming for Jack, who, hearing his wife's desperate cries, stood up and saw...

Her heart beating wildly, like the crashing waves of the sea in a storm as she opened the door; he saw his wife come in like a hurricane, her face pale, eyes full of fear and tears ready to fall. His world collapsed for an instant, but he was there to hold her, to offer her the security she so desperately needed.

He took her tenderly in his arms, feeling the trembling that ran through her body. Their eyes met, and silently, he promised that he would be there, that he would protect her from whatever storm was coming. Her touch in his arms was the link that united their souls; she gave herself to him, sinking into the refuge of his strong arms. Her heart found shelter in that safe and familiar place, where fear began to give way to hope and gratitude. Her husband whispered words of comfort in her ear, promising that everything would be all right, that together they would face any adversity. His presence was the beacon that would guide her through the darkest nights, and his strength was the foundation that would sustain her in moments of fragility. While he kept her protected and safe, a storm raged in his mind and his heart overflowed with love for that woman. In that instant, their love shone brighter than ever, a light that dispelled the shadows of fear and uncertainty. Together, they would face the world, as a team, as a couple united by the unbreakable bond of love and trust.

It took Jack a few minutes to calm her down; she was crying so much that she couldn't see that he was really all right. Wynn came over and explained that someone needed to meet her as a matter of urgency.

Jack took her hand and saw her eyes questioning what was going on there, but he asked her to trust... because everything would be resolved, they spoke without words, just by looking at each other... they understood each other and talked.

- Elizabeth, I'd like you to meet mountie Lek and Mack;

She looked from one young man to the other and smiled;

- It's my pleasure. I'm very happy that you're both recovering well, I know you've been in my prayers every day.

They lost themselves in that gaze.

The boys, when they met that woman's gaze, felt like sailors adrift in a deep blue sea. Her eyes were portals to a world of calm, an oasis of serenity in the midst of the daily hustle and bustle. They gazed into those blue eyes, diving into that sea of tranquillity, and there they returned to the most gentle and sweet person they had ever met. Her presence was like a gentle breeze, calming inner storms and filling their hearts with joy. She was an island of stability in a rough ocean, a beacon of compassion in the midst of darkness. The boys knew that, at that moment, they had discovered something truly special, something that would make them want to watch her and take care of her, like rare treasures to be treasured.

Elizabeth's friendly, warm smile welcomed the boys and dispelled any trace of discomfort. She began to talk to them, and as the words flowed, she immersed herself in the stories of their lives, listening intently to their journeys.

Little by little, she discovered the complexities of their lives, the emotional scars left by an irresponsible father.

The boys' lives were a story of challenges and overcoming. They grew up in difficult situations, having in common the sad experience of being the sons of an irresponsible father, who used women and left them pregnant, without looking back. This paternal absence left deep scars on their lives, but there was also a strong bond between them.

The two brothers were less than a year apart in age, and this closeness made their bond special. They met at some point in their journeys, when they were both unprotected and vulnerable, and the connection that has developed since then has become an emotional anchor in their lives.

Despite the difficulties they faced in childhood and adolescence, these boys supported each other, building a relationship based on brotherly love and a promise to protect each other. They learned to trust each other and to face life's challenges together, creating an unbreakable bond that strengthens them day after day.

Faced with the adversities they faces in life and the strength of the bond they shared, the two brothers made a noble and strong decision: they decided to become mountie, vowing to protect not only each other, but also everyone who needs help and protection.

The decision to join the mountie battalions was a natural extensivos of their instinct to protect and their deep empathy for the suffering of others. They were determined to use their past experiences as motivation to make a difference in the world, becoming defenders of justice and the safety of those who could not protect themselves.

These two brothers found a way to transform their experiences into a driving force for a better future, committing themselves to being the guardians of those who needed them most, and together, they marched towards a destiny of courage and service to the community.

Elizabeth smiled with radiant pride, and her eyes shone with the light of the love and admiration she felt for these two determined young people. On her face, the smile was more than a facial expression; it was a reflection of her heart filled with gratitude and affection.

She looked at the two brothers, feeling inspired by their resilience and nobility of spirit. As they shared their dreams of becoming and protecting those in need, Elizabeth couldn't contain the emotion that welled up inside her. Her eyes shone like shooting stars, witnessing the courage and security that shone from those young souls. It was a pride that warmed his heart, a pride that he didn't receive in words, but which showed through that smile and the glimmer of hope that burned in his eyes.

Carson looked at Jack with his mouth open, his expression revealing deep surprise and admiration. He couldn't contain his disbelief at Elizabeth's incredible power to make people trust her and reveal their most personal stories.

As he watched Elizabeth talking to the boys, Carson wondered how she managed to create such an instant atmosphere of security and empathy. It was as if she was a magician of human relationships, able to dissolve barriers and create a space where people felt comfortable opening their hearts.

He remembered how, the moment he met her, he also felt instantly at ease to share his own secrets and worries. Elizabeth had a special ability to listen, to connect emotionally with others, and it was clear that her heart was open to receiving the stories of those around her.

For Carson, the way Elizabeth captivated people with her empathy and understanding was truly remarkable. She was more than a listener; she was a confidant, a friend who offered the peace and security that so many sought. As she watched this scene, the surprise on her face was mixed with a feeling of luck at knowing someone like this in her life.

Carson spoke softly:

- Jack! The Mounties should use her for interrogations, she'd get the biggest secrets out of those thugs.

Jack smiled proudly, he had no words to describe everything he felt for his wife.

She talked to the young men, told them about Charles and her father, then told them a few things about her love for Jack, Thorton, Bill, Wynn and Frankison.
