Chapter 72: Questions
Beatrix’s heart crushed hearing the vulnerability and pain in his voice. She wished she had the power to make all of his pains go away.
"Of course, I’m not leaving you Rhys and I’m not going to let you go,"
She said with determination, trying to control the tears that were threatening to spill down her cheeks.
She wanted him to know that she was here for him, no matter what. She was not going to leave him alone in this moment of weakness.
"I promise you, Rhys, that I will never let anyone hurt you again," Beatrix said with conviction, feeling a renewed sense of determination.
She wanted him to know that he has someone on his side, someone who will protect him and stand by him no matter what. She would do everything in her power to make sure that he never has to face pain and suffering again.
Beatrix coaxed him to remove his wet sweatpants and put on a new attire. Clearly he was embarrassed as he avoided her gaze when he was changing.
Seeing Rhys like this was painful for her, and she wished more than anything that she could do something to make him feel better.
She missed his usual cheeky grin and playful attitude, and it was clear that he was feeling embarrassed and down. She tried to make him feel more at ease, telling him that she was there for him and that it was okay to be vulnerable.
She wanted him to know that he didn’t have to face this alone, and that she would do everything she could to support him.
After he was done changing, Beatrix quickly extended her arms, gesturing for him to come to her.
