Whenever Victor Morgan was wrestling with a problem, Vera Warner could always talk him through it, calming his restless heart and putting his mind at ease.
Vera Warner hugged him again and said, "Before I was with you, my life was bleak. The glamorous image you all saw was just a cover for the pain I've endured."
Even though everyone now knew about Vera Warner's unique background, no one knew how she had actually gotten through the past few years.
After all, if she hadn't possessed remarkable skills, how could she have become so valued in such a short period? Her path had been paved with thorns.
Moreover, Vera Warner had never told anyone what she had been through. The image she projected was one of courage and independence, unwilling to let anyone see her sorrowful side.
Now that she had brought it up, a wave of sadness washed over Victor Morgan, making him want to bear all of Vera's burdens for her.
