00:00It was only when the doctor realized that the gravely ill patient lying before her
00:03was her own daughter that she understood the terrible mistake she had made.
00:06Fifteen days earlier, her daughter had come to her with a medical report stating she was ill.
00:10As a doctor herself, the mother refused even to look at the report,
00:13claiming it was fake and even accusing her daughter of forging it.
00:16Even when the girl tried to explain, the mother believed nothing.
00:19She even tore the report apart and went out to eat with her lover's daughter instead.
00:23The girl was deeply saddened, but not being believed by her mother had long been part of her life.
00:27One day, while taking an exam at school, she suddenly felt a sharp abdominal pain and fainted in class.
00:32The school nurse recommended that she undergo a full medical examination at the hospital.
00:36Shortly after, the mother received a call from the homeroom teacher asking her to take her daughter for the tests.
00:41The woman replied,
00:42Don't believe her. She's pretending, and hung up.
00:44The teacher, furious, said he had never seen such a parent before.
00:47But the girl remained calm. She had already expected this reaction.
00:50Back home, the nanny prepared some porridge for her.
00:53After only one bite, the pain returned.
00:54She rushed to the bathroom to vomit.
00:56The mother came home at that moment, and, seeing the food wasted, grew angry.
01:00But the girl came out of the bathroom and explained that she felt very ill, indifferent.
01:04The mother ordered her to finish the porridge.
01:06Every mouthful was torment for the girl, but she drank it despite her tears.
01:09The mother angrily headed to the bathroom, but the tomato juice on the sink caught her attention.
01:14She suddenly remembered the torn report, the teacher's words, and wondered for the first time if it might all be true.
01:18Just then, her lover's daughter called, saying she was in pain.
01:21The mother, suddenly anxious, said she was coming and reassured herself that her own daughter was simply trying to get her attention.
01:27She went to her lover's home and warned the girl never to do anything that displeased her.
01:31The girl cried,
01:31Do I have to die for you to believe me?
01:33The mother screamed, get out now, and left in anger.
01:36The next day, the girl returned to the hospital.
01:38The head doctor told her she needed immediate treatment and that they needed a parent's signature.
01:41The girl lowered her head and begged the doctor to sign for her, because her mother didn't believe she was sick.
01:46The doctor promised to speak personally to this irresponsible parent.
01:49Soon after, the doctor arrived at the mother's office with the daughter's medical report.
01:53The mother exploded with anger, accusing the doctor of forging the report.
01:56The doctor replied,
01:57If you won't even look at this report, you don't deserve to be a doctor.
02:00But a nurse rushed in.
02:01Her lover's daughter was sick again.
02:03The mother fled, while the doctor stood stunned, unable to understand how a mother could be so cold toward her own child.
02:08Her colleagues asked whether she wasn't afraid her daughter might truly be sick.
02:12The mother answered that it was impossible.
02:13Her daughter rarely fell ill.
02:15Meanwhile, the girl was already lying on the hospital bed.
02:17She anxiously asked the doctor whether her mother finally believed her.
02:21To reassure her, the doctor lied and said he had not yet met her mother, then began treatment.
02:25He personally cut the girl's long hair.
02:27Her tears reflected all the suffering she had endured.
02:30After the first treatment, the doctor suggested that her mother should come care for her, but it was a hopeless wish.
02:35The next day, she heard a familiar voice.
02:37Her mother had come to the hospital, having heard that a very sick child was in that room.
02:40Through the curtain, the girl saw a familiar figure and felt a fragile spark of hope.
02:44As the mother stepped forward, tomato juice suddenly spilled onto the floor.
02:48The doctor rushed to intervene, but the girl's life was already in danger.
02:51The mother hurried to help with the emergency treatment, speaking of the poor child, while the girl curled up on her bed.
02:56It was only when the mother finally saw the familiar face that everything became clear to her.
