She looked at him and pulled her arm away as he let go and terror and pain filled her eyes as she gasped and shook her head pulling her her sleeves looking at then and them looked at him, "No...no that is okay, I...I deserved to get these, I was in the wrong. He was in the right to hit me..." She said and pulled her sleeve down and looked at him, "Besides I could not let anyone as kind and accepting as you get tangled up and hurt like me....you shouldn't offer protection to those you don't know sir." She said and shook her head, "I do not want the salve, keep it for you and your family, for me these are a reminder of what I did wrong so I will never do that again." She told him in a quiet voice. Yeah it was obvious by her words and actions that her ex had it knocked into her head that her abuse was her fault and he did it to help not hurt her thought it was not true....but to her it was and she was scared to say otherwise in fear of getting beat again.
