quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five years ago, he had condemned Becca’s biological father for being so irresponsible. Clark had paid for another man’s mistakes and bitterly so.

I don't really get the meaning of this part. Do you want to express that Clark considered Becca a burden? Or that Lily's death is somehow the father's fault? Or are you referring to the dialogue with the dragon?
It's mostely referring to the dragon. Becca might be a burden, but I think that he doesn't mind it too much
