Chapter 55 The First Lovemaking
Nancy suddenly noticed Elizabeth's cheek was all puffed up.
She gently touched Elizabeth's face, and Elizabeth winced in her sleep, mumbling, "Mom, it hurts."
Nancy's tears started flowing. She had no clue who had slapped Elizabeth. If it was her husband Michael, whom she had never met, she’d totally back Elizabeth in ditching the violent jerk.
She had no idea Elizabeth had been through so much with the Thomas Family. Elizabeth had always put on a brave face, probably to keep her from worrying.
People only knew the Thomas Family was loaded, and everyone wanted to marry into it.
But they had no clue the Thomas Family was a total nightmare!
She gently patted Elizabeth's back, just like when she used to soothe her to sleep as a kid.
The car pulled up at the station, and Elizabeth groggily woke up.
They got off the car, and Nancy said, "Elizabeth, you haven't come over to my place for a meal in a few days. I'll hit the supermarket and grab some fresh fruit and groceries to whip up your favorite dishes."
Elizabeth said, "Okay, Mom."
They hit the supermarket, grabbed their groceries, and chatted all the way back to Nancy's rented apartment.
Before they even reached the door, they saw Michael's bodyguard standing there, and Elizabeth immediately froze.
Nancy didn't recognize the guy and, seeing Elizabeth's expression, asked her, "Elizabeth, you know him?"
Elizabeth said, stone-faced, "That's Michael's bodyguard."
The bodyguard took the groceries and fruit from their hands and then opened the door to the apartment for them.
Nancy felt a bit awkward, like a guest in her own home.
As soon as they walked in, they felt the tension in the room.
Michael was sitting on the couch in the living room, waiting for them.
Elizabeth walked in and shot Michael a cold look, saying, "What are you doing here? Don't you know it's illegal to trespass?"
Nancy gently tugged on Elizabeth's sleeve, "Elizabeth, chill out."
Michael didn't answer her question but instead asked, "What happened to your phone? Why is there no signal?"
Elizabeth snorted and turned her face towards the window, "Why are you calling me? What do you want?"
Michael said, "Of course, I'm looking for you. You disappeared, shouldn't I be looking for you?"
Elizabeth scoffed, "Save your fake concern. This is my mom's place, and you're not welcome here."
Michael said nothing.
Elizabeth once again felt Michael's creepy surveillance and control over her, like he could find her wherever she went.
This made her feel suffocated and oppressed.
Nancy, seeing the showdown between the two, quickly said, "You must be Michael, right? Elizabeth is in a bad mood today, so I took her out for a walk. Please wait, and I'll make you some food."
Elizabeth shouted, "Mom!"
Michael said, "You don't need to trouble yourself. I'll be leaving now."
Elizabeth said, "Mom, he's leaving right away. You don't need to bother. You've been out for so long, you must be tired."
Michael, seeing that Elizabeth was clearly trying to get rid of him, turned to Nancy and said, "Sorry for my uninvited visit. It's better we head off."
Michael shot Elizabeth a look, like, "Aren't you coming with me?"
Elizabeth straight-up ignored him.
"Mom, I'll help you in the kitchen," Elizabeth said, shoving Michael out the door and slamming it shut.
Nancy sighed, "Elizabeth, you two aren't divorced yet. Since you still have to live with Michael, don't provoke him. It won't be good for you."
Elizabeth shrugged, "It's okay, don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
Outside, Michael and his bodyguard exchanged glances.
The bodyguard thought, 'Michael's been kicked out by that stubborn Elizabeth again?'
So many rich ladies in Aurora Bay wanted to marry the perfect Michael. But Michael didn't want any of them.
He only had eyes for Elizabeth.
The bodyguard sighed and helped Michael leave the neighborhood.
Meanwhile, in the hospital in Aurora Bay...
Anthony lay on the bed, groaning.
He called out to Karen, "Mom, it hurts."
Karen, heartbroken, held Anthony's hand, tears in her eyes, saying, "Anthony, my poor baby."
She turned to William, who was standing by the bed, and said, "Anthony is in so much pain. Go find the doctor to give him another painkiller."
William went out.
Patricia squatted by the bed, her eyes red, "Anthony, I know you're in pain. It's all Elizabeth's fault! Let me blow on it for you!"
Karen, hearing this, pushed her away, "Are you stupid? What if your saliva infects Anthony's wound?"
Patricia, pushed to the ground, quickly got up, "Sorry, Mrs. Thomas, I didn't think of that."
Karen glared at her, "You better stay away from Anthony! We don't welcome the Jones Family's daughter!"
Anthony said, "Mom, this has nothing to do with Patricia. It's all Michael's fault! He set a trap for me!"
Patricia gratefully looked at him, bit her lip, and said, "Mrs. Thomas, I'm not the same as Elizabeth."
Before she could finish, the doctor came in and gave Anthony a dose.
Anthony quickly fell asleep.
Elizabeth helped Nancy finish cooking, and after they ate, Nancy went to the kitchen to clean up.
Elizabeth wanted to help, but Nancy told her to go rest in her room.
Elizabeth had just lain down when she got a message from Sarah.
Sarah: [Elizabeth, are you asleep? I have big news. David and I almost had sex.]
Elizabeth : [What do you mean?]
Sarah replied: [We went to a hotel.]
Elizabeth: [You two are moving fast.]
Sarah: [Not really. It's a steady progression. We planned to go to the hotel, but at the last moment, I realized I got my period. You should have seen David's face.]
Elizabeth: [Don't gloat. By the way, are you okay?]
Sarah: [Not really. David went out to buy me some pads.]
Elizabeth: [David's pretty nice.]
Sarah: [I was planning to dig up some dirt on him in bed, but now, I failed. Maybe next time.]
Elizabeth: [Sarah, forget about that! Just enjoy your relationship.]
Sarah: [Let me ask you, Elizabeth, what was it like the first time you had sex with your husband?]
Elizabeth wanted to change the topic.
Elizabeth: [It's late. Time to sleep.]
Sarah: [Oh my God! Elizabeth! You two really had sex? If you hadn't, you would have said so! Was it your bully husband who forced you?]
Elizabeth decided not to reply anymore.
If she continued, who knows what Sarah would say next.
