Chapter 43: Saving the person you love.

“My mother’s feet were completely giving out, as skin fell from them, leaving them a raw, bloody mess. She tried to hide it, never cried once. But when my father saw it, he was furious with her and could not believe the damage caused to them. He bandaged them with strips of his shirt under much protest from her. The sneering remarks some had made held them apart and she did not want him to be in more trouble. Father continued with the nursing of her feet and she was grateful in the end. The captain was furious, cursing him, but he ministered to her wounds and carried us both without complaint.” He heard a smile in her voice, and he blinked as moisture settled in his eyelids.
