00:00It was only when the woman saw the portrait of her brother's daughter displayed in the living room
00:03that a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
00:05Her own marriage was unhappy, and she wanted to keep her brother close
00:08so she could take care of both him and the child,
00:10preventing him from learning about his niece's death.
00:11She even went so far as to hide the portrait whenever he was not paying attention.
00:15She then took out photos of her brother with herself and her daughter.
00:18When a man returned with his niece,
00:19the little girl was immediately drawn to her late cousin's favorite doll.
00:22Only by following the direction of the child's pointing finger
00:24did the man realize that something was wrong,
00:25because that toy was usually kept out of sight.
00:27And yet today it was right there, at that moment,
00:29the niece asked for the doll again, and the man handed it to her without thinking.
00:33It was obvious that he still cared deeply about his daughter.
00:35If he had known that he had not even seen her one last time, how would he have felt?
00:38He told the little girl that today's birthday party had been specially prepared by her uncle for her,
00:41not knowing that it was also the memorial day of his own daughter.
00:44Soon after, the niece's classmates arrived for the birthday party.
00:46While the children were having a great time,
00:48the wife came home with a cake and discovered that her daughter's birthday had been ruined.
00:51She confronted her husband, but he explained that it was a celebration for his niece
00:54and that everyone was happy.
00:55Seeing her daughter's favorite balloon burst and her beloved doll thrown on the floor,
00:58the woman became even angrier and scolded her husband.
01:01At that moment, the mother-in-law intervened,
01:03claiming that the woman had always relied on her son
01:05and that now the little girl was merely playing with her daughter's toys.
01:07She accused the woman of publicly embarrassing her son.
01:09The husband then defended his niece,
01:11saying she was still young and that as a mother, his wife should understand.
01:14Hearing this, the woman immediately questioned him,
01:16asking why he favored his niece over his own daughter.
01:18The husband explained that they had not neglected their daughter
01:20and urged her to stop making a scene,
01:22afraid that their daughter might come home and feel upset.
01:24As he spoke, he took out a new smartwatch he had bought for their daughter,
01:27saying that she could video call them at any time.
01:28The woman retorted that their daughter would never wear it again
01:30and that she did not need his gift.
01:32As she said this, she threw the watch to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
01:35This action instantly stunned everyone present,
01:38but the woman was still not satisfied.
01:39She scolded her husband,
01:41saying that he would never again have the chance to video call their daughter,
01:43nor even see her again.
01:44Seeing the woman behave so aggressively,
01:46the mother-in-law immediately reprimanded her,
01:48believing that this behavior was merely a ploy to divorce her son.
01:51The woman ignored her mother-in-law
01:52and continued questioning her husband about the destruction of their daughter's toy.
01:55Seeing his wife act so irrationally,
01:57the husband explained that he was simply spending time with his mother and sister
02:00and that there was no need for her to be so angry.
02:02A close friend could no longer hold back
02:03and accused him of being irresponsible.
02:05The man did not understand what his friend meant,
02:06so the friend pointed directly at the portrait of his daughter.
02:09However, to his great surprise,
02:10the portrait had disappeared,
02:12replaced by a photo of his sister, his niece, and himself.
02:15Hearing mention of his daughter's portrait,
02:16the man immediately asked his wife what was going on.
02:18She told him that their daughter had died,
02:20that today was her birthday and also her memorial day.
02:22The man, still unable to believe it,
02:24thought that his daughter had only suffered a minor injury.
