Eliza didn't want to be a burden to anyone or cause any trouble.

"Let's just leave it at that."

"Leave what at that?" Renee glanced at Eliza, noticing the series of red marks on her neck and arms, her eyes narrowing with concern. "Is he abusing you? Did he hit you?" "No." Eliza lowered her gaze, trying to hide the emotions welling up inside.
