Chapter 19 Have You Ever Loved Me

• Not only was my body hurting, but my heart was aching too. When I first got married, I thought I was the luckiest woman in the world. On my wedding night, Lyle hugged me and told me he would make me happy for the rest of my life.
• But this was what we had become after only two years of marriage. In fact, it didn't take two years. He started to cheat one year ago, yet he had the audacity to hit me while I was lying in the hospital bed covered in blood.
• Tears began rolling down my cheeks. I poured out my grievances and dissatisfaction, but Lyle was not willing to let me off. He held me by my throat as his face contorted in anger. By then, the hospital bedsheet was soaked with blood.
