Victor wasn't trying to blame her. More than anything, he felt she had been wronged and his heart ached for her. She had hidden Sylvia Schuyler's evil deeds, only to be misunderstood by him in return.
"Vera, this is all my fault. I should have trusted you completely from the start."
"You don't have to apologize. There's no need for apologies between us. I did promise not to hide anything from you, but it was for the sake of those good memories. I'm sure you can understand how I felt."
As they spoke, the tension between them began to dissolve. Victor stepped forward and pulled Vera into his arms. At that moment, they both understood exactly how the other felt.
Vera took his hand and asked, "Why are you back at a time like this? Is there any news about Chloe? And how are Ian's injuries? Is it serious?"
