Amos's gaze did not leave Bertha's face, instead he looked at her profile, lost in thought.
On the way to pick her up, he kept reminiscing about the past. She and Clare Lewis weren't truly in love, so it wasn't exactly a betrayal of affection.

As a man, he didn't want to deny it; even if what happened between her and Clare Lewis was just an accident, he still cared.
But if she had chosen to be honest with him at that time, he wouldn't have left her.
Although that event would leave a scar on his heart, he believed that time would heal it, until it was no longer visible.
