Dr. Spencer clearly knew why Zane Thorne retired back then. He gave Zane a meaningful look, then said to Natalie Vaughn.
"Some things are just destined. Natural disasters, man-made misfortunes, there's no fault in it, and there's no need to punish yourself."
Zane understood Dr. Spencer's words, his eyebrows twitched slightly as he lowered his eyes, playing with Natalie's hair.
After a trip to Yenton, it seemed from Gideon Sheffield's parents' attitude, they didn't truly blame Zane; it was just hard for them to get past that mental hurdle.
As an outsider, she could rationally see, like Dr. Spencer, that there was no need for Zane to retire because of what happened five years ago. But as Zane's wife, she could empathize and understand even more.
Zane, he seemed wild and arrogant, caring about nothing, but in truth, he valued relationships deeply.
Dr. Spencer saw Natalie deep in thought and knew she was not entirely unaware of past events.
