Before Lucas could finish speaking, Johnson interjected, “Don’t deny it, Lucas. When you heard about Verena’s attempt, you were at the hospital in a heartbeat. That’s not how you should act toward someone you’ve let go of. Even if it’s not love, there’s a sense of duty you feel toward Verena. Especially after what Harold did to her, you feel you owe her.

But…” Johnson’s voice grew quieter as he exhaled deeply. “That responsibility you’re clinging to is only hurting Belinda more. Verena will always be a shadow between you and Belinda. It creates a chasm that won’t simply close. Unless you resolve this, you can’t fully commit to Belinda.”
