Court métrageTranscription
00:00:00The day before New Year's Eve, I walked into the Los Angeles Marriage License Bureau with two men.
00:00:07I clutched two documents in my hand, a divorce application with my current husband, and a marriage license application with
00:00:16my ex-husband.
00:00:17The clerk handling the business pushed up her glasses, her tone polite but rigorous.
00:00:24Ma'am, according to California law, you must first complete the final signing.
00:00:30Of the divorce proceedings, and confirm the dissolution of the marriage.
00:00:36Before you can submit a remarriage application, we cannot process both transactions simultaneously.
00:00:44I pointed to Kieran Hart, my current husband, who stood beside me with a cynical look, twirling a ring on
00:00:52his fingertip.
00:00:53This one, our divorce settlement agreement has already come into effect.
00:01:07Then I turned to my ex-husband, Elias Thorne, who stood in a bespoke suit with a cold expression.
00:01:15And this one, once the divorce procedures are concluded, we will process the remarriage.
00:01:23The two men, each clutching their respective documents, were still at each other's throats as we walked out the door.
00:01:32Elias looked like he wanted to crumble the marriage license application, in his hand gritting his teeth as he said,
00:01:39Don't get too smug. She's just acting out of spite temporarily. She'll come to her senses sooner or later.
00:01:47It was obvious that the she, they were talking about was never truly me.
00:01:53Their fighting and bickering were never about me as a person either.
00:01:57Yet I had once loved both of these men with all my heart and soul.
00:02:02It's just that now.
00:02:03I no longer have the energy to love.
00:02:06I am dying let them make whatever scene they want anyway for me.
00:02:10No matter who I am legally bound to, the result is the same.
00:02:15Honey, you were the one who brought up the divorce.
00:02:19Don't expect me to look back and ask for a reconciliation.
00:02:23Just as we stepped out of the registry office,
00:02:27Kieran casually tossed the copy of the signed divorce papers
00:02:30into a recycling bin by the roadside.
00:02:34He picked up a phone call, glanced at me,
00:02:37and spoke in a frivolous tone.
00:02:39Sweetheart, go to our vacation house.
00:02:42Wild enough.
00:02:44All right, you go there first.
00:02:47I'll be there as soon as I deal with things here.
00:02:51Kieran put on his sunglasses,
00:02:53opened the door,
00:02:54and got into his eye-catching red Ferrari.
00:02:58The engine roared as he sped away.
00:03:00I looked at the divorce decree I had just received
00:03:03and also tossed it into the recycling bin.
00:03:06It won't happen.
00:03:08I will never be involved with him again in this life.
00:03:11I don't have much time left.
00:03:14For the remaining days,
00:03:16I just want to live properly for myself.
00:03:19In my moment of distraction,
00:03:22Elias snatched the unsubmitted marriage license application from my hand.
00:03:26Have you moved all your things out of Kieran's place?
00:03:30You should move back to the house in Beverly Hills.
00:03:34He asked in a flat tone.
00:03:36I shook my head.
00:03:38I rented an apartment, downtown, and have already moved in.
00:03:43Elias frowned,
00:03:45his tone carrying confusion and undeniable authority.
00:03:49There's no need to go through that trouble.
00:03:52That house has been empty,
00:03:54and the servants clean it every day,
00:03:57keeping it exactly how you used to like it.
00:04:00Just move back directly.
00:04:02I curled the corners of my mouth,
00:04:05my tone distant.
00:04:07You want to remarry me just to spite Valeria?
00:04:10I agree to it just to spite Kieran.
00:04:14We both know each other's intentions.
00:04:17So don't take it too seriously.
00:04:21I glanced at him and suggested.
00:04:23But by the looks of it,
00:04:25neither of them cares at all.
00:04:28Why don't we just drop this idea now,
00:04:31and go our separate ways?
00:04:34Elias pursed his lips tightly,
00:04:37grabbed my wrist,
00:04:38and dragged me toward his black Maybach.
00:04:41I stumbled to keep up,
00:04:43his low and suppressed voice coming through the wind.
00:04:47Layla, stop making a scene.
00:04:50Let me have some peace.
00:04:52I lowered my eyes and followed behind him,
00:04:55suddenly regretting that burst of competitiveness just now.
00:04:59Oh, Elias,
00:05:02if I don't make a clean break now,
00:05:04I'm afraid I won't even have the strength
00:05:07to stand here and talk to you later.
00:05:09I bit my lip hard,
00:05:11forcing down a wave of nausea.
00:05:14The doctor said my remaining time
00:05:16is probably less than a month.
00:05:18Last month,
00:05:19I received the diagnosis of latestage stomach cancer.
00:05:24I didn't know how to confess this to Kieran.
00:05:27I was afraid that his nonchalant facade
00:05:29would collapse instantly.
00:05:31And I was even more afraid that I wouldn't be able to handle his fragility.
00:05:36After being crushed by this bad news,
00:05:39I subconsciously went to the bar he owned.
00:05:42I just wanted him to hug me.
00:05:44Just one hug.
00:05:46And maybe I would feel a little better.
00:05:49I stood at the door of the private room for a long time,
00:05:53repeatedly pondering how to speak.
00:05:55In the end,
00:05:57only one sentence remained in my mind.
00:06:00Kieran.
00:06:01I'm sorry,
00:06:02I might not be able to accompany you anymore.
00:06:05The moment I tremblingly pushed open the door,
00:06:09I caught him deep kissing Valeria.
00:06:11I froze in place,
00:06:13looking at the familiar provocative smile on Valeria's face,
00:06:18and was instantly pulled back to those dark pasts.
00:06:22Valeria is my stepsister in name.
00:06:24When I was ten,
00:06:26her mother brought her to marry my father,
00:06:29forming a new family.
00:06:31When I handed her my favorite chocolate,
00:06:34she raised her chin arrogantly.
00:06:37I am prettier than you,
00:06:38and more likable than you.
00:06:41From now on,
00:06:42whatever belongs to you,
00:06:45I will snatch away.
00:06:47She didn't lie.
00:06:49She was also the fuse that led to the end of my first marriage with Elias.
00:06:54Coincidentally,
00:06:55standing at the door of the private room at that time was not just me,
00:07:00but also Elias.
00:07:02Kieran looked at me calmly,
00:07:04as if he wasn't the one who did something wrong.
00:07:07Honey,
00:07:08I have nothing to explain.
00:07:10He shrugged lightly.
00:07:12Why are you crying?
00:07:13I was just catching up with a friend.
00:07:16Valeria nestled in Kieran's arms,
00:07:19smiling coquettishly at Elias.
00:07:22Elias,
00:07:23it seems no one wants Layla again.
00:07:26Why don't you two remarry?
00:07:27I won't mind.
00:07:29Before she could finish her sentence,
00:07:32I heard Elias say decisively,
00:07:35Fine.
00:07:35Maybe I was dizzy with anger,
00:07:38or maybe I wanted to find a support to escape reality,
00:07:42but I actually nodded and agreed without hesitation at that time,
00:07:46until this moment sitting in the car.
00:07:49I still felt dazed.
00:07:51I was actually going to remarry Elias,
00:07:54when we divorced two years ago.
00:07:57No matter how I begged,
00:07:59he was determined to separate without a shred of hesitation.
00:08:03Elias's character isn't one to cheat during marriage.
00:08:07He has always been honest.
00:08:09We were together for eight years and married for three.
00:08:13He said that was the first time he understood what it felt like to have his heart race.
00:08:17And that person wasn't me.
00:08:20He wanted to pursue the person he liked.
00:08:23So he had to divorce me,
00:08:25cleanly.
00:08:26Without dragging things out.
00:08:28I couldn't help but be curious.
00:08:31My tone carrying a hint of mockery.
00:08:34Elias?
00:08:34It's been almost two years.
00:08:36And you still haven't caught Valeria.
00:08:39Elias didn't change his expression.
00:08:42Keeping his eyes on the road.
00:08:44She's throwing a tantrum and cut off contact.
00:08:48I'm still waiting for her to calm down.
00:08:51Young girls are hard to guess.
00:08:54Unlike you.
00:08:55Halfway through his sentence.
00:08:57He paused.
00:08:59His Adam's apple rolling.
00:09:01And didn't continue.
00:09:03I knew what he wanted to say.
00:09:05He wanted to say.
00:09:07Unlike me.
00:09:09Who was always docile and sensible.
00:09:11Always revolving around him.
00:09:14I just regretted the old me a little.
00:09:17Every time we argued.
00:09:19I was the one who carefully went to coax him in the end.
00:09:23Actively bowing my head to admit mistakes.
00:09:26He never coaxed me.
00:09:28Not once.
00:09:29Only today did I learn that a cold person like him could also have the patience to wait and accommodate
00:09:35others.
00:09:35It's just that that person was never me.
00:09:39I gave the address of my rented apartment.
00:09:42But the direction Elias drove was clearly off route.
00:09:46You're going the wrong way.
00:09:48The place I live isn't in this direction.
00:09:52He gripped the steering wheel stubbornly.
00:09:54His tone carrying a toughness that allowed no refusal.
00:09:58Layla.
00:09:59Move back to Beverly Hills.
00:10:02I can afford to raise you.
00:10:04And I can take good care of you.
00:10:06I curled my fingertips and didn't speak.
00:10:10Of course.
00:10:11The current Elias can afford to raise me.
00:10:14He is the person in power at the Thorn Group.
00:10:18A billionaire.
00:10:19But even when he was in his most difficult times.
00:10:23Penniless in the early stages of his startup.
00:10:26He never let me suffer a bit of grievance and saved the best for me.
00:10:31Elias' first impression of me was probably terrible.
00:10:43My father and stepmother both unhesitatingly chose to go to Valeria's school.
00:10:49The reason being.
00:10:51She is younger and needs more care.
00:10:54I was the only one in my class without a parent present.
00:10:57Later I learned that Elias' parents didn't come either.
00:11:01His parents had long been divorced and had formed their own families.
00:11:06No one cared about him.
00:11:08Elias was the kind of rich kid you could spot at a glance.
00:11:12He had a cold temperament and an air of detachment.
00:11:15So no one dared to bully him easily.
00:11:18So, cowardly and introverted me became the target of everyone's ridicule.
00:11:24Their words became more and more excessive.
00:11:27And the phrase.
00:11:29A wild child with no mother to teach her.
00:11:32Completely poked my sore spot.
00:11:35My mother just died early from illness.
00:11:38It wasn't that she didn't want me.
00:11:41I had always been submissive.
00:11:43But that day was the first time I summoned the courage to fight someone.
00:11:47I only remember hurting all over from the beating.
00:11:51Dizzy and unable to distinguish where the pain was coming from.
00:11:55Suddenly.
00:11:56Someone kicked over a desk next to us.
00:11:59Making a loud noise.
00:12:02Elias.
00:12:03Who had always been gentle and refined and never argued with anyone.
00:12:07Said the first curse word of his life.
00:12:10Shut the fuck up.
00:12:12All of you.
00:12:13Everyone went quiet instantly.
00:12:15No one dared to retort.
00:12:18Elias in the second year of high school was already very tall.
00:12:22About 6 feet 2 inches.
00:12:24With an upright figure.
00:12:26When he picked me up from the ground.
00:12:29I was still trembling uncontrollably.
00:12:32He looked down at me.
00:12:34His tone carrying a bit of impatience.
00:12:36No one looks after you.
00:12:39Right.
00:12:39I was scared silly by his aura and could only nod subconsciously.
00:12:44Then I will look after you.
00:12:46He said.
00:12:47His tone was flat.
00:12:49But it carried an unquestionable firmness.
00:12:52He really started to.
00:12:54Look after.
00:12:56Me.
00:12:57The most obvious thing was that he asked the family cook to prepare two exquisite lunches every day and send
00:13:03them to school.
00:13:04One for him and one for me.
00:13:06He never touched snacks.
00:13:09So those big bags of cookies.
00:13:12Candies.
00:13:13And chocolates all ended up in my stomach.
00:13:17Occasionally.
00:13:18He would say for no reason.
00:13:19You are the person I'm looking after.
00:13:22Don't be as thin as a bean sprout.
00:13:25It embarrasses me.
00:13:27I always nodded excitedly and then stuffed things into my mouth desperately.
00:13:32I was too embarrassed to tell him that before being taken care of by him.
00:13:36I often went hungry because of my stepmother's harshness and insufficient pocket money.
00:13:42He also bought me many books I couldn't afford.
00:13:45And I didn't let down his kindness.
00:13:48In the joint exam before the new year.
00:13:51My test scores improved by leaps and bounds.
00:13:55But the best student was still Elias.
00:13:57I really envied him.
00:13:59I envied his intelligence and excellence.
00:14:02And I envied him even more for being kept in someone's heart.
00:14:07Like an elder.
00:14:09Elias asked me what reward I wanted.
00:14:12I thought for a long time but couldn't say it.
00:14:15I wanted everything.
00:14:17But dared not ask for anything.
00:14:19He smiled and shook his head.
00:14:22Saying forget it.
00:14:24Just accompany him to spend New Year's Eve first.
00:14:27When we walked back after listening to the New Year's bell in the city center square.
00:14:32The first snow of that year began to fall.
00:14:36Snowflakes gently landed on hair tips and shoulders.
00:14:39Cold and gentle.
00:14:42Elias asked me.
00:14:43Are you happy?
00:14:44I was young then and easily shy.
00:14:47Watching the couples hugging and kissing on the street.
00:14:50I didn't dare to look around.
00:14:53Stammering.
00:14:54I heard that people who watch the first snow together will be together for a lifetime.
00:15:03Elias raised his eyebrows unromantically.
00:15:06His tone carrying a bit of teasing.
00:15:09Is this the reward you want?
00:15:10I shook my head hurriedly.
00:15:13My cheeks burning.
00:15:14No.
00:15:15He raised his hand to pat the thin snow on my shoulder.
00:15:19His voice as light as falling snow.
00:15:22Layla, I can give you this reward.
00:15:23Snowflakes are very light.
00:15:26But promises are very heavy.
00:15:28I carved this sentence into my heart.
00:15:31But in the end.
00:15:33I was the only one who took it seriously.
00:15:36Seeing my continued silence.
00:15:39Elias spoke again.
00:15:41His tone carrying a hint of imperceptible guilt.
00:15:44I said when we divorced that you could.
00:15:47Come to me for anything you needed.
00:15:50But you never looked for me once.
00:15:53You didn't touch the assets divided to you either.
00:15:57They are all in that card.
00:15:59Just consider this my compensation to you.
00:16:02I don't deny that it was my fault back then.
00:16:06I looked out the window at the rapidly retreating streetscape.
00:16:10I used to think Elias was reticent.
00:16:13So I always pestered him endlessly.
00:16:16Sharing my joys and sorrows.
00:16:18Now I realize that being pestered to talk is actually quite annoying.
00:16:23Can he stop talking?
00:16:25He wasn't wrong.
00:16:26He just didn't like me.
00:16:28Not liking someone is never a fault.
00:16:32Elias was too excellent and carried a sense of alienation.
00:16:36People around him said he was like a god who didn't eat human food.
00:16:40Only to be observed from afar.
00:16:42But the year he was most grounded and most like an ordinary person.
00:16:47We actually had a very hard time.
00:16:50But it was also in that year that I stubbornly believed that Elias liked me.
00:16:55In college.
00:16:56His grandfather passed away.
00:16:59His parents fought endlessly over the family property and didn't leave a penny for Elias.
00:17:05In the early stages of his startup.
00:17:07Funds were scarce.
00:17:09And he could barely scrape together the money to rent an office.
00:17:13Yet he still took care of me as before.
00:17:16He used.
00:17:18Convenient for your studies.
00:17:20As a reason to make me live in the school dormitory.
00:17:23Later I found out that he lived in a rental house with extremely poor conditions.
00:17:29Working day and night.
00:17:31Not having enough to eat and sleeping on the sofa were common occurrences.
00:17:35I insisted on living with him.
00:17:38No matter how bitter or difficult it was.
00:17:41I wanted to be with him.
00:17:44That winter was biting cold.
00:17:46The heating in the rental house had long been broken.
00:17:49And we couldn't afford to fix or replace it.
00:17:53Elias had lived in luxury for more than 20 years.
00:17:56But now his fair and slender knuckles had chillblains.
00:18:00Red and swollen.
00:18:02Yet he never complained once in front of me.
00:18:05But when I unconsciously murmured.
00:18:08So cold.
00:18:10After falling asleep.
00:18:11This proud son of heaven.
00:18:14Arrogant to the bone.
00:18:16Humbled himself for the first time.
00:18:18The first time he begged someone.
00:18:21It was for me.
00:18:22I never thought that someone as proud as Elias would call those friends he wasn't close to to borrow money.
00:18:28No matter how many winters pass.
00:18:31I always remember what he said on the phone.
00:18:34His tone carrying a bit of suppressed pleading.
00:18:37It doesn't matter for me.
00:18:39Freezing or starving is fine.
00:18:42I just want to take Layla to a warmer place.
00:18:45No other reason.
00:18:47I just don't want her to suffer.
00:18:50From that day on.
00:18:51I never doubted his feelings again.
00:18:54I even felt incredibly lucky that someone as excellent as Elias would fall in love with ordinary me.
00:19:00But facts prove that he didn't like me.
00:19:03Nor did he like anything related to me.
00:19:06Those gentlenesses and care might just be his momentary sense of responsibility at work.
00:19:12Elias and I once had a child.
00:19:15At that time.
00:19:17His startup had just picked up.
00:19:19And he was busy off his feet every day.
00:19:22I wanted to give him a surprise.
00:19:25So I went to the hospital for a checkup alone.
00:19:28The moment pregnancy was confirmed.
00:19:31I rehearsed countless ways to tell him in my head.
00:19:35I thought Elias would definitely be as happy as I was.
00:19:39He said in high school that the ideal family was a dad.
00:19:42A mom.
00:19:43And a cute child.
00:19:45Simple and warm.
00:19:47But I was wrong.
00:19:49He was not only unhappy but even carried an almost cold rejection.
00:19:53As I carefully handed over the pregnancy test report.
00:19:57Elias also handed me a document.
00:20:00The words.
00:20:02Divorce agreement.
00:20:03On the cover were like a sharp knife.
00:20:06Stinging my eyes and piercing all my expectations.
00:20:10He took the pregnancy test report and glanced at it.
00:20:14His eyes were calm without a trace of ripples.
00:20:17And his tone was as flat as if persuading a stranger.
00:20:22If you give birth.
00:20:23You won't get custody.
00:20:25I will raise the child.
00:20:28Give her the best life and the best educational resources.
00:20:32And won't let her suffer grievances.
00:20:35But think clearly.
00:20:37I don't like her mother.
00:20:39So naturally.
00:20:40I won't like her either.
00:20:42At that time.
00:20:43I loved Elias so much that I lost myself.
00:20:47And refused to divorce no matter what.
00:20:49I was humble into the dust.
00:20:52When I had an emotional breakdown.
00:20:54I would even use self-harm to keep him.
00:20:57Once he caught me.
00:20:59The knife had already cut my skin.
00:21:02Blood seeping out.
00:21:03Yet he remained unmoved.
00:21:06Just turned coldly and left.
00:21:08Leaving me alone crying in despair.
00:21:11He didn't force me to sign.
00:21:13But he used the cruelest method.
00:21:15Cold violence.
00:21:17He began to deliberately avoid me.
00:21:20Staying out all night.
00:21:22And hyperfiledly appeared with his assistant Valeria as a pair.
00:21:26Social media was full of photos of them together.
00:21:30With ambiguous captions.
00:21:32Sometimes looking at those matching photos.
00:21:35I would also doubt myself.
00:21:38Maybe they were indeed a good match.
00:21:40And I was the superfluous one.
00:21:43The day I truly made up my mind to sign.
00:21:46I was really at a dead end.
00:21:48And actually knelt down crying and begging him.
00:21:51With no dignity to speak of.
00:21:53And I learned later that Elias had planned to file a divorce lawsuit in court that day.
00:21:58To forcibly dissolve the marriage relationship.
00:22:01When I cried until my whole body trembled.
00:22:04He was silent for a long time and said.
00:22:08To be honest.
00:22:09Seeing you cry now.
00:22:11I don't feel anything anymore.
00:22:13I even feel.
00:22:15He always couldn't bear to finish his sentences.
00:22:19Perhaps afraid of hurting me completely.
00:22:22Or perhaps just finding it troublesome.
00:22:25But I guessed the second half of the sentence.
00:22:28He probably thought I was being melodramatic and annoying.
00:22:32If even tears were useless.
00:22:35Then there was really no hope between us.
00:22:37I signed the divorce agreement and aborted the child who hadn't had time to feel the warmth of the world.
00:22:44Elias and I had nothing to do with each other from then on.
00:22:48Or so I thought.
00:22:49During my distraction.
00:22:51The car had already driven into the villa area of Beverly Hills.
00:22:56The familiar streets and houses evoked countless painful memories.
00:23:00It seems I still have to take a taxi back to the apartment myself.
00:23:06So tired.
00:23:07And so troublesome.
00:23:09After the diagnosis.
00:23:11I became lazier and lazier.
00:23:14With less and less strength.
00:23:16Even speaking felt strenuous.
00:23:19The car stopped steadily at the villa entrance.
00:23:23Elias turned his face to look at me.
00:23:25His tone tentative.
00:23:27Go to the city center for New Year's Eve tonight together.
00:23:32I remember you used to like the atmosphere there very much.
00:23:36That's something only young girls like.
00:23:39I stopped liking it a long time ago.
00:23:43I said softly.
00:23:45A sourness rising in my heart.
00:23:47I won't live past this year.
00:23:50The countdown of the bell in the square.
00:23:53The cheering of the crowd.
00:23:55To me.
00:23:56Are all like the countdown of life.
00:23:59Every second is suffocating.
00:24:01Just as I was about to open the car door.
00:24:04My phone rang.
00:24:06The caller ID showed Kieran.
00:24:08On the other end of the phone.
00:24:10His tone was lazy.
00:24:13Carrying a bit of his habitual coquettishness.
00:24:16Honey.
00:24:17You left something here with me.
00:24:19If it's useless just throw it away.
00:24:21My tone was flat.
00:24:23Without any waves.
00:24:25Are you sure?
00:24:26It's the pearl necklace your mother left you.
00:24:29You gave it to me before.
00:24:31But I can return it to you.
00:24:34Kieran's tone carried a bit of deliberate enticement.
00:24:37That necklace was my mother's only legacy and meant a lot to me.
00:24:41I gripped the phone tightly.
00:24:44I'll call a courier to pick it up tomorrow.
00:24:46Kieran seemed to sigh.
00:24:48His tone still casual but carrying a toughness that allowed no refusal.
00:24:53Come pick it up yourself.
00:24:55Before 12 noon.
00:24:57Or I'll throw it into the sea to feed the fish.
00:25:00After saying that.
00:25:02He hung up directly without waiting for my response.
00:25:06It was already 11.30 now time was tight.
00:25:09I hurriedly pushed open the car door and hailed a taxi.
00:25:13When closing the door.
00:25:15I seemed to hear Elias say something.
00:25:18The voice was blurred by the wind.
00:25:21And I didn't hear it clearly.
00:25:23Thinking about it carefully.
00:25:25I felt ridiculous.
00:25:26How could someone like Elias say gentle words to make me stay.
00:25:31When I rushed to Kieran's vacation house.
00:25:35It was already past 12.
00:25:37When unlocking the door.
00:25:39Muscle memory made me input my birthday.
00:25:42The screen showed unlock failed.
00:25:44I was stunned for a moment.
00:25:47When I input it again.
00:25:49The door opened from the inside.
00:25:51Kieran looked at me innocently.
00:25:54His tone carrying a bit of banter.
00:25:57Honey.
00:25:57I've already changed it to Valeria's birthday.
00:26:01After all.
00:26:02She is the one I want to pamper now.
00:26:05My breathing was rapid.
00:26:07With every breath.
00:26:09My stomach felt like it was being squeezed by a big hand.
00:26:13Nausea surged incessantly.
00:26:15And it hurt so much that I broke into a cold sweat.
00:26:19I endured the discomfort.
00:26:21Held out my hand.
00:26:23My voice hoarse.
00:26:25Necklace.
00:26:26Kieran smiled with the corners of his mouth hooked.
00:26:29His eyes full of teasing.
00:26:32Time's up.
00:26:33It's already thrown into the sea.
00:26:35I took a deep breath.
00:26:37My eyes were sore.
00:26:39But I stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.
00:26:43After recovering.
00:26:44I turned and went straight to the trash can on the street.
00:26:48Rummaging through it with my bare hands.
00:26:51The smell of the trash can made my stomach even more uncomfortable.
00:26:56My vision went black.
00:26:58And I felt dizzy.
00:26:59Just a second before I couldn't hold on and collapsed.
00:27:03My body was suddenly picked up horizontally.
00:27:07Kieran pinched my waist.
00:27:09His tone complaining but hiding a trace of imperceptible heartache.
00:27:13Why are you so thin?
00:27:15Losing weight shouldn't be like this.
00:27:18Stop losing weight.
00:27:20Even if you are thinner.
00:27:21You won't be as pretty as Valeria.
00:27:24I couldn't hold it back anymore and vomited everything in my stomach all over him.
00:27:30Kieran went silent instantly.
00:27:32I could imagine how ugly his face was.
00:27:35He has severe mysophobia and hates mess the most.
00:27:39I didn't care.
00:27:40Letting myself vomit freely.
00:27:43After vomiting.
00:27:45I felt a little relaxed.
00:27:47Kieran carried me into the bathroom without a word.
00:27:51Put me on the sofa.
00:27:52And turned to take a shower himself.
00:27:55I sat on the sofa outside.
00:27:58Looking at the familiar environment.
00:28:00My heart desolate.
00:28:02I haven't been here for a month.
00:28:04And nothing much has changed.
00:28:07The exaggerated wedding photo of Kieran and me was still in the most conspicuous position in the living room.
00:28:14Doesn't he feel awkward?
00:28:15I really can't figure it out.
00:28:18Perhaps for him.
00:28:20Marriage and feelings are just a game.
00:28:22Kieran came out after washing.
00:28:25Wrapped in a bath towel.
00:28:27Still thick skinned.
00:28:29Honey.
00:28:30Help me blow dry my hair.
00:28:32I pushed away the hair dryer he handed over.
00:28:35Moved aside.
00:28:37And said coldly.
00:28:38We are divorced.
00:28:39Don't call me that I want to vomit.
00:28:41He stuffed the hair dryer back into my hand and said nonchalantly.
00:28:46Vomit if you want.
00:28:48If you vomit again.
00:28:49I'll drag you to wash together.
00:28:52He sneered.
00:28:53His tone carrying a bit of grievance.
00:28:56Can't I call you honey after the divorce?
00:28:59I wasn't the one who wanted this divorce.
00:29:02You brought it up yourself.
00:29:04He is always like this.
00:29:07Looking calm and confident as if everything will develop according to his will.
00:29:11When I loved him before.
00:29:13I thought this confidence was charming.
00:29:16Now that I don't like him anymore.
00:29:18I just think he needs a beating.
00:29:21And I just find it pathetic.
00:29:24I held the hair dryer.
00:29:26My fingertips trembling incessantly.
00:29:29The accumulated emotions could no longer be controlled.
00:29:33I raised the hair dryer and smashed it at his smiling face.
00:29:37Yes.
00:29:39I brought up the divorce.
00:29:41Kieran was very unhappy at the time and even used many tricks to keep me.
00:29:45He said.
00:29:47I'll just be with Valeria for a while to satisfy my obsession.
00:29:51Okay.
00:29:52This is your husband's regret from his youth.
00:29:55Kieran is just like this.
00:29:58He is able to speak of cheating so grand soundingly.
00:30:01As if his betrayal is a matter of course.
00:30:05The stupidest thing I did in this life was to delusionally think the prodigal son would return.
00:30:11Thinking I could be his exception and destination.
00:30:13When I met Kieran.
00:30:16I had just walked out of the shadow of my previous marriage.
00:30:20My heart fragile and sensitive.
00:30:23He chased me for a whole year and took care of me in every possible way.
00:30:27Everyone said they had never seen him so persistent with anyone.
00:30:32Saying he really settled down and wanted to live a stable life.
00:30:36But later Kieran told me that the girl he chased the longest.
00:30:40He chased for three years without success.
00:30:43I never thought that person would be Valeria.
00:30:47Looking at Kieran covering his face.
00:30:49My heart was waveless.
00:30:52When I loved him.
00:30:54I tried my best and gave everything.
00:30:57When divorcing.
00:30:58I was more decisive than him.
00:31:01Breaking it off cleanly.
00:31:03Because I had been caught in heavy rain once.
00:31:06I learned to bring an umbrella and learned to protect myself the second time it rained.
00:31:10The words that should have been hysterical were unusually calm when they reached my lips.
00:31:16Kieran!
00:31:17Why did you marry me?
00:31:19Wouldn't it be better to pursue your regret and wait for Valeria?
00:31:23Why drag me into it?
00:31:25He smiled.
00:31:27As if thinking seriously.
00:31:29Or mocking himself.
00:31:31Layla!
00:31:32Because you were the most sincere and liked me the most.
00:31:36He reached out and rubbed his face.
00:31:38His gaze so intense it made me dodge.
00:31:42I couldn't bear to lose someone who liked me so much.
00:31:45I thought I could fall in love with you slowly.
00:31:49But I still messed it up.
00:31:51So that's the answer.
00:31:52I laughed until tears came out.
00:31:55Chewing on his words repeatedly.
00:31:58Poor Layla!
00:31:59You are the most sincere.
00:32:02So you are also the easiest to hurt and the easiest to be treated casually.
00:32:07Layla!
00:32:08Help me treat the wound!
00:32:10Kieran leaned his face in front of me.
00:32:12There was a small cut on his left cheek.
00:32:16His tone carried a bit of ingratiation.
00:32:18After treating it, I'll give you the necklace.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:23I lied to you.
00:32:25I didn't throw it away.
00:32:27I hurriedly cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on it from the medicine box.
00:32:32Kieran looked at himself in the mirror.
00:32:34Slightly stunned.
00:32:36His tone carrying a bit of annoyance.
00:32:39Done for.
00:32:40My handsome face is ruined.
00:32:43It's just a small wound.
00:32:44It won't disfigure you.
00:32:46I said flatly.
00:32:48After being with Kieran.
00:32:50I learned how much he cared about his face.
00:32:54After all.
00:32:55He is really handsome.
00:32:57Rogue and flashy.
00:32:59Attracting attention wherever he goes.
00:33:02If I were a man and looked like him.
00:33:05I would probably cherish it extra too.
00:33:08But when I was blocked in an alley by a group of punks back then.
00:33:12He was beaten all over and his face was swollen out of shape when saving me.
00:33:17Yet he didn't care at all.
00:33:19In the end.
00:33:21He held on with one breath.
00:33:23Hugged me tightly.
00:33:25And refused to let go.
00:33:27For fear that I would get hurt even a little bit more.
00:33:30Layla.
00:33:31If I don't die today.
00:33:33Let's get married.
00:33:35Okay.
00:33:36At that time.
00:33:37He was covered in wounds.
00:33:39His voice weak but firm.
00:33:42I shook my head.
00:33:44Forcibly shaking those memories out of my mind.
00:33:47The past is past.
00:33:49There is no point in thinking about it.
00:33:52Kieran suddenly grabbed my wrist tightly.
00:33:55His eyes fierce.
00:33:57Tone carrying a bit of mockery and anger.
00:34:00You don't have to deliberately imitate Valeria.
00:34:03I said.
00:34:04I never thought about divorcing you.
00:34:07He restrained his smile.
00:34:09Disgust surging in his eyes.
00:34:11You may not know.
00:34:13The memory of saving me that time is the most precious in my life.
00:34:17But now I feel it's been tainted by you.
00:34:21I was baffled and shook off his hand forcefully.
00:34:24What did I imitate her for is your brain damaged from the hit?
00:34:28He pointed to the band-aid on his face.
00:34:31His tone certain.
00:34:33Only Valeria knows this cross-shaped taping method.
00:34:36You clearly know my feelings for her.
00:34:39Yet you deliberately copy her.
00:34:42Don't you find it disgusting?
00:34:44I was stunned.
00:34:45My heart going cold.
00:34:48I have been used to taping band-aids like this since I was a child.
00:34:52No other reason.
00:34:54Just that my mother used to tape me like this.
00:34:57She said it was more secure and wouldn't fall off easily.
00:35:01I never thought of imitating anyone.
00:35:04Let alone Valeria.
00:35:06I didn't argue with him anymore.
00:35:09Saying more was useless.
00:35:11I just held out my hand.
00:35:13Necklace.
00:35:14When I see my mom.
00:35:16I want to return the necklace to her with my own hands.
00:35:20This is my only obsession.
00:35:22Kieran scratched his hair irritably.
00:35:25And a hard little thing hit my face.
00:35:28It was that pearl necklace.
00:35:30Get out.
00:35:31Take your necklace and get out.
00:35:34His tone was nasty.
00:35:36But he dared not look into my eyes.
00:35:38I picked up the necklace.
00:35:41Put it away carefully.
00:35:43Looked at his back.
00:35:45And said softly.
00:35:46Kieran thank you for saving me back then.
00:35:49I hid this sentence for a long time.
00:35:52And finally said it today.
00:35:54I turned around.
00:35:56Enduring the severe pain in my stomach.
00:35:59And slowly walked out the gate.
00:36:02I didn't see Kieran's tightly clenched.
00:36:05Trembling fists.
00:36:06Nor did I see the regret and pain surging in his eyes.
00:36:10I took a taxi back to the apartment and swallowed several painkillers.
00:36:15The effect of the medicine is getting weaker.
00:36:18The pain that used to be relieved by one pill now requires several to suppress slightly.
00:36:24Curled up in bed for a long time.
00:36:27The pain slowly subsided.
00:36:29Sleeping was always restless too.
00:36:32Those past fragments and painful memories kept surfacing in my mind.
00:36:37Lingering.
00:36:38My father.
00:36:40Who used to love me so much.
00:36:42Was gradually attracted by the lively.
00:36:46Cute.
00:36:47And articulate Valeria after my mother passed away and my stepmother and Valeria arrived.
00:36:53Earlier on.
00:36:54He would take me out to play.
00:36:56When others asked about Valeria.
00:36:59He would pat her head and say dotingly.
00:37:02This is my daughter.
00:37:03When others asked about me.
00:37:05He just said vaguely.
00:37:07My ex-wife's daughter.
00:37:09Actually.
00:37:10He wasn't wrong.
00:37:12But hearing it in my heart.
00:37:14I still couldn't help but feel sad.
00:37:17As if someone had stabbed me hard.
00:37:20Later.
00:37:21He never took me out to play again.
00:37:24Sometimes I would hear them discussing excitedly in the living room.
00:37:27Let's go to the newly opened amusement park tomorrow as a family of three.
00:37:32A family of three.
00:37:33But there were clearly four people in the house.
00:37:36I was like a superfluous transparent person.
00:37:40Watching them enjoy themselves happily while bearing loneliness and grievance alone.
00:37:45My thoughts drifted to Elias involuntarily again.
00:37:48That person who never talked about work with me and kept silent about his own affairs would actively mention his
00:37:55assistant Valeria to me.
00:37:57The new little assistant is a bit silly and clumsy but quite interesting.
00:38:01Sometimes I could hear him on the phone.
00:38:04Giving advice gently.
00:38:05HMM where that purple one purple looks good and suits tomorrow's occasion.
00:38:10Seeing my face turn cold.
00:38:12He would explain lightly.
00:38:14Important cooperation to be discussed tomorrow.
00:38:17It's her first time.
00:38:18Participating no experience.
00:38:20I was just reminding her casually.
00:38:22Elias smiled more and more.
00:38:24And the gentleness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
00:38:28Sadly.
00:38:29Those smiles and gentleness were not for me.
00:38:32As for Kieran.
00:38:34Forget it.
00:38:36None of it matters anymore.
00:38:38I don't want anything anymore.
00:38:40I don't want anyone anymore.
00:38:43I just want to finish the last journey quietly.
00:38:46Layla.
00:38:47Wake up.
00:38:49Layla.
00:38:50Don't sleep.
00:38:51Who is calling me?
00:38:53Stop calling.
00:38:55I'm so tired.
00:38:57I want to sleep.
00:38:58Sleep forever.
00:39:00And never have to bear this pain again.
00:39:03When I opened my eyes again.
00:39:05I found myself lying in a hospital bed.
00:39:08The strong smell of disinfectant lingering on the tip of my nose.
00:39:13If it weren't for Elias sleeping on the edge of the bed.
00:39:17Frowning and looking tired.
00:39:19I would have thought I was already dead.
00:39:22A bit regretful.
00:39:23Why haven't I died yet?
00:39:25I moved my fingers slightly.
00:39:28And Elias woke up immediately.
00:39:30He looked up.
00:39:32Stared at my face.
00:39:34His eyes complex and indecipherable.
00:39:37His tone carrying a bit of blame and heartache.
00:39:40Is this how you take care of yourself?
00:39:43Starving yourself until you faint at home?
00:39:46If I hadn't had someone follow you.
00:39:49Did you plan to just sleep like this forever?
00:39:52I curled my fingertips.
00:39:55My heart skipping a beat.
00:39:57Did he know?
00:39:58When I was first diagnosed with latest edge cancer.
00:40:02I was full of resentment.
00:40:04I clearly ate well and took good care of myself.
00:40:08With no signs before getting sick.
00:40:11Why me?
00:40:12I'm only 26.
00:40:14I haven't had time to experience this world properly.
00:40:18Haven't had time to let go of all regrets.
00:40:21I sniffed.
00:40:23Lowered my eyes.
00:40:25Not daring to look at him.
00:40:27My voice choking a bit.
00:40:29I took good care.
00:40:30Ate well.
00:40:31Then why did you starve yourself to fainting at home Layla?
00:40:34You are not a child anymore.
00:40:35Can you be responsible for yourself?
00:40:37His tone was still severe.
00:40:39But hid a trace of imperceptible panic.
00:40:42Oh.
00:40:44So he didn't know.
00:40:45I didn't starve myself on purpose.
00:40:48I couldn't eat.
00:40:50I vomited as soon as I ate a little.
00:40:53The pain in my stomach made it impossible for me to eat normally.
00:40:57It's fine.
00:40:59It's better he doesn't know.
00:41:01Saving him the trouble and saving me from explaining again.
00:41:04Go back to Beverly Hills when you are rested.
00:41:08The cook is still there.
00:41:10Don't you like the roast chicken she makes?
00:41:13I'll ask her to make it for you every day.
00:41:17Eat slowly.
00:41:18His tone softened.
00:41:20Trying to keep me with things I used to like.
00:41:23I opened my mouth but couldn't say a word.
00:41:26My throat was tight.
00:41:28My heart sour and astringent.
00:41:31Elias waited for my answer.
00:41:34Just as he was about to speak.
00:41:36His phone rang.
00:41:38It was the exclusive ringtone he set for Valeria.
00:41:41A gentle piano piece I knew all too well.
00:41:45Two years ago.
00:41:46It was this ringtone that made Elias abandon me again and again.
00:41:50No matter how sad I was or how much I needed him.
00:41:55He picked up the phone.
00:41:57There were only two of us in the ward.
00:41:59And I could clearly hear Valeria's cooing voice.
00:42:03Elias.
00:42:04Come to the city center for New Year's Eve.
00:42:07I have something very important to tell you.
00:42:10Two years ago.
00:42:12It was the same sentence.
00:42:14Elias abandoned me without hesitation to meet Valeria.
00:42:18Even though we had agreed since we were 17 to spend every New Year's Eve together and welcome the New
00:42:24Year together.
00:42:25After he came back two years ago.
00:42:28He brought up divorce with me.
00:42:30Shattering all my expectations.
00:42:33This year.
00:42:35The result should be the same.
00:42:37The difference is that I wasn't very sad or disappointed this time.
00:42:42The heart is dead.
00:42:43No matter how much it hurts.
00:42:45I can't feel the pain anymore.
00:42:48Family members.
00:42:50Please come out for a moment.
00:42:52There is a situation with the patient that needs explaining.
00:42:56The nurse's voice sounded at the door.
00:42:59Breaking the silence in the ward.
00:43:01Elias glanced at me.
00:43:03His eyes complex.
00:43:06He said.
00:43:07Okay.
00:43:07I'm coming right away.
00:43:09Into the phone and hung up.
00:43:11He stood up.
00:43:12Wanted to say something.
00:43:14But ultimately didn't speak.
00:43:17He turned and walked out.
00:43:19To welcome his New Year.
00:43:21To meet the person he missed.
00:43:23I looked out the window from the ward.
00:43:26It was pitch black.
00:43:28Dotted only by scattered lights.
00:43:30I didn't want to stay here.
00:43:32I wanted to go out and see the fireworks.
00:43:36Release balloons.
00:43:38And go home.
00:43:39Forget it.
00:43:40I don't seem to have a home either.
00:43:43That's Valeria's home.
00:43:45Elias's home.
00:43:47Kieran's home.
00:43:49But not my home.
00:43:50Until midnight came.
00:43:52The New Year's bell rang in the distance.
00:43:55And I was still alone in the ward.
00:43:58I put my palms together and made a New Year's wish towards the window.
00:44:02Layla in the next life.
00:44:05Be healthy and happy.
00:44:06And live past 27.
00:44:09Must.
00:44:10Just after making the wish.
00:44:12The ward door was kicked open with a.
00:44:16Bang.
00:44:17Carrying a burst of cold air.
00:44:19Really unlucky to be so rude on the first day of the New Year.
00:44:23I told you not to lose weight blindly.
00:44:26I worked hard to cook for you for more than a year and finally fattened you up a bit.
00:44:31Do you have to ruin yourself like this?
00:44:34Kieran walked in carrying a thermal lunchbox.
00:44:38Nagging as he set up the small table.
00:44:41Inside were his best dishes.
00:44:43Which were also my favorites before.
00:44:46I swallowed my saliva unworthily.
00:44:49I really wanted to eat.
00:44:51But I knew I would definitely vomit after eating and suffer severe pain again.
00:44:56Why are you here?
00:44:58I asked.
00:44:59Oh.
00:45:00I remember.
00:45:02Valeria asked Elias out.
00:45:04Kieran was probably abandoned.
00:45:07So he remembered me.
00:45:09The ex.
00:45:10Thinking carefully.
00:45:12Valeria probably likes neither Elias nor Kieran.
00:45:16She just likes snatching my things.
00:45:19Snatching my dad.
00:45:21Snatching my husbands.
00:45:23Snatching everything of mine.
00:45:25This gives her a sense of accomplishment and proves she is better than me.
00:45:30She was right.
00:45:32She is beautiful.
00:45:34Cheerful.
00:45:35And likable.
00:45:36She can get whatever she wants.
00:45:39While I can't keep anything.
00:45:41Kieran handed me the chopsticks.
00:45:44His tone carrying a bit of toughness.
00:45:46Don't ask.
00:45:48Eat first.
00:45:49Even if you vomit after eating.
00:45:51You have to eat a little.
00:45:53I was really craving it too much and didn't want to let down his rare kindness.
00:45:58I picked up the utensils and took small sips.
00:46:01Kieran watched me quietly the whole time without saying a word.
00:46:06His eyes full of focus.
00:46:09Layla.
00:46:09Why have you lost so much weight?
00:46:12He couldn't help asking.
00:46:14The heartache in his tone unconcealable.
00:46:17Grief stricken after divorcing you couldn't eat or think so I lost weight.
00:46:21I joked casually.
00:46:23Not wanting the atmosphere to be too heavy.
00:46:26Kieran scoffed.
00:46:28Habitually knocked my head.
00:46:31His tone carrying a bit of spoiling.
00:46:34Then let's remarry.
00:46:35Honey.
00:46:36I promise never to make you angry again.
00:46:39Never to betray you again.
00:46:41I shook my head.
00:46:43Tone flat.
00:46:44No, I've been married three times I don't want a fourth bad luck.
00:46:48He looked at me helplessly and sighed.
00:46:51What bad luck or not.
00:46:52Are you afraid of death?
00:46:54God has eyes.
00:46:56If anyone dies.
00:46:58It should be me first.
00:47:00After all.
00:47:01I betrayed my lovely wife first.
00:47:04I should atone.
00:47:06Ah.
00:47:07He was right.
00:47:08I am really afraid of death.
00:47:10I haven't lived enough.
00:47:13Haven't let go of all regrets.
00:47:15I want to live well.
00:47:17I mean it.
00:47:19Layla.
00:47:19I found that I really love you.
00:47:22Kieran rested his chin on his hand and looked at me.
00:47:25Eyes serious.
00:47:28Explaining slowly.
00:47:29Valeria is just an obsession for me.
00:47:32I fought a lot in high school.
00:47:35Once I was beaten badly and thought I was going to die.
00:47:39Hiding in an alley.
00:47:40Daring not to come out.
00:47:42It was a girl who saved me.
00:47:44It was too dark that day.
00:47:46I didn't see her face clearly.
00:47:49I only picked up the name tag she dropped.
00:47:52Which had Valeria's name on it.
00:47:55And.
00:47:56He pointed to his face.
00:47:58She bandaged me like this.
00:48:00Cross shaped bandaid.
00:48:03Very strange.
00:48:04My face was covered.
00:48:06But I felt very safe.
00:48:08I blinked.
00:48:10Trying to recall.
00:48:11He seemed to be talking about me.
00:48:14At that time.
00:48:15My family didn't buy me new school uniforms.
00:48:19I could only wear Valeria's old ones.
00:48:22The name tag probably fell out of the pocket and was picked up by him.
00:48:26I really regret it.
00:48:28If I had known.
00:48:30I wouldn't have been soft hearted to save him back then.
00:48:33Otherwise there wouldn't be so many entanglements.
00:48:37But I felt a little better.
00:48:39I saved him once.
00:48:41He saved me once.
00:48:43We are even.
00:48:44Otherwise.
00:48:46I always remembered him saving me back then and felt I owed him.
00:48:50Later I wrote love letters to her for three years.
00:48:53She refused to accept them or see me.
00:48:57She even called me a punk and told me not to pester her.
00:49:01I know about this.
00:49:03Valeria told the family back then that a punk from the neighboring school kept pestering her.
00:49:08Writing love letters non-stop.
00:49:11Disgusting her to death.
00:49:13And asked dad to solve it for her.
00:49:16Later we met by chance in a bar.
00:49:18She said she fell in love with me at first sight and actively approached me.
00:49:23I thought my obsession was finally going to be realized.
00:49:27But when we were really together.
00:49:29I found it was just so-so.
00:49:32Even with intimate contact.
00:49:34I didn't feel much.
00:49:36My heart was always empty.
00:49:38Kieran reached out and wiped the oil stain from the corner of my mouth.
00:49:43Moving gently.
00:49:45Honey.
00:49:45I realize now that I don't like Valeria.
00:49:48It was the person who saved me back then.
00:49:51It is you who have always been sincere to me.
00:49:55I like you the most.
00:49:57Layla.
00:49:58TSK.
00:49:59So dirty.
00:50:00I wiped the corner of my mouth with a tissue again.
00:50:04Avoiding his touch.
00:50:06There were no waves in my heart.
00:50:09Belated deep affection is cheaper than grass.
00:50:12This saying is so true.
00:50:15Remarry me.
00:50:16Baby.
00:50:17I'm sure the only one I love is you.
00:50:20I will take good care of you and spend every day with you.
00:50:23His tone was urgent.
00:50:25Carrying a bit of pleading.
00:50:27I lowered my eyes and said softly.
00:50:31Unfortunately, I don't love you any more tired of loving and can't love anymore.
00:50:36Kieran pursed his lips tightly.
00:50:38His tone instantly becoming irritable.
00:50:41Carrying a bit of questioning.
00:50:43You haven't forgotten him yet.
00:50:46You love Elias that much.
00:50:48You are very happy to remarry him.
00:50:51Right.
00:50:52You love him that much.
00:50:54This tone.
00:50:55These words.
00:50:57Are exactly the same as what Elias used to say.
00:51:00Why do they all question me?
00:51:03After all.
00:51:04When I loved them.
00:51:06I really tried my best and gave all my sincerity.
00:51:10But in the end.
00:51:11All I got was hurt and betrayal.
00:51:14While I was dazing.
00:51:16Kieran suddenly spoke provocatively towards the door.
00:51:19You came just in time.
00:51:22Layla wants to divorce you and remarry me.
00:51:25Good.
00:51:26Very good.
00:51:27Kieran said what I wanted to say.
00:51:30Last time Elias threw the divorce agreement in front of me.
00:51:34I'm dying.
00:51:36This time I have to be tough and propose divorce myself.
00:51:39If I don't say it first.
00:51:42Elias will say it sooner or later.
00:51:45He never forces himself.
00:51:46I nodded in agreement.
00:51:49Yeah divorce.
00:51:50Kieran smiled and looked at Elias proudly.
00:51:53Hear that.
00:51:54Then remarry me.
00:51:56I didn't say that.
00:51:58He really takes liberties.
00:52:00Elias walked closer step by step.
00:52:03His face terribly gloomy.
00:52:06The surrounding air pressure suffocatingly low.
00:52:09Is it necessary?
00:52:11I didn't humiliate him.
00:52:13Just wanted a divorce.
00:52:15Why so fierce?
00:52:17In the blink of an eye.
00:52:19Elias's fist landed on Kieran's face.
00:52:22Kieran's most treasured face.
00:52:24I thought Kieran would go crazy and fight back immediately.
00:52:28I held my breath.
00:52:30Ready to watch a good show.
00:52:32Kieran has a fiery temper and seeks revenge for grievances.
00:52:37Sure enough.
00:52:38He swung his fist back immediately.
00:52:40Two handsome men close to 6 feet 3 inches wrestled in front of my hospital bed.
00:52:47The scene was chaotic for a while.
00:52:49The scene was quite spectacular.
00:52:52I picked up the spoon.
00:52:55Continued eating.
00:52:56And watched them beat each other calmly.
00:52:58I even wanted to shout.
00:53:01Go for it.
00:53:02To cheer them up.
00:53:04Anyway.
00:53:05I don't have much time left.
00:53:07Watching the bustle is fine.
00:53:10While throwing punches.
00:53:12Elias roared.
00:53:13How on earth did you take care of Layla?
00:53:17Torturing her into this state.
00:53:19Kieran punched him back and roared back not to be outdone.
00:53:23I took better care than you.
00:53:25At least when I was with her.
00:53:27My mind was all on her.
00:53:29I never let her suffer so many grievances.
00:53:32And you.
00:53:33What can you do besides hurting her?
00:53:36Then how could she have late stage stomach cancer?
00:53:40Elias's roar carried a bit of breakdown.
00:53:43Resounding through the entire ward.
00:53:46Ah.
00:53:47The meat I was forking fell onto the plate.
00:53:50And I froze in place.
00:53:52As soon as Elias said this.
00:53:54Both of them stopped their hands simultaneously and looked at me stiffly.
00:53:59What are you doing?
00:54:01I haven't seen enough.
00:54:03I tentatively said.
00:54:05You guys continue I don't mind.
00:54:07The two of them sat by my hospital bed.
00:54:10One on each side.
00:54:12The atmosphere was deadlocked.
00:54:14No one spoke.
00:54:16Finally.
00:54:18Kieran spoke first.
00:54:19His tone carrying a tremor.
00:54:22When did it happen?
00:54:23Why didn't you tell me?
00:54:25I answered truthfully.
00:54:27Last month the day I went to the bar to find you I got the diagnosis.
00:54:32That was the day I wanted to confess to him.
00:54:34But caught him with Valeria.
00:54:37All the words were swallowed back into my stomach.
00:54:40Why didn't you tell me?
00:54:42He asked again.
00:54:44His voice hoarse.
00:54:46Eyes full of remorse.
00:54:48We were going to divorce anyway.
00:54:50There was no point in saying it.
00:54:51My stomach started hurting again.
00:54:54I couldn't help bending over and vomiting a mouthful of acid.
00:54:58It took a long time to recover before speaking slowly.
00:55:02Tone flat.
00:55:04Divorce and widowhood.
00:55:05I think you would choose the former after all.
00:55:07You are so afraid of trouble and hate being bound.
00:55:10I looked at Elias again.
00:55:13Tone calm.
00:55:14Don't worry I won't make you a widow or I will sign the divorce agreement in advance and won't drag
00:55:20you down.
00:55:21Elias suddenly interrupted me.
00:55:23Tone firm.
00:55:25Carrying a bit of choking.
00:55:27Layla I didn't say I wanted a divorce.
00:55:29I won't divorce you never.
00:55:31Before dying.
00:55:32People seemed to love recalling the beauty of the past.
00:55:35Wanting to find some comfort in those warm fragments.
00:55:40Now my mind is full of happy times with Elias.
00:55:44His gentleness that was cold outside but warm inside.
00:55:47His meticulous care.
00:55:50Accompanying me and raising me seriously and sincerely.
00:55:54Those brief but real warmth are the most precious memories of my life.
00:55:58The day I got the university admission letter.
00:56:01I hugged him and cried excitedly.
00:56:04Elias I really tried my best.
00:56:06He asked me what reward I wanted like before.
00:56:10Then looked at me with burning eyes.
00:56:12Tone carrying a bit of shyness.
00:56:15Your face is very red.
00:56:16Do you want to kiss me then girlfriend give me a kiss this reward is okay.
00:56:20At that time.
00:56:22We were pure and beautiful.
00:56:24I chased after him.
00:56:26He waited for me to approach.
00:56:29Everything was just right.
00:56:31But in the end.
00:56:32He told me that wasn't liking.
00:56:35Just getting used to my company.
00:56:37This huge gap made me unable to hold back tears facing the changed circumstances.
00:56:42It would have been great if you had said this to me two years ago.
00:56:46I begged you like that back then just to hear you say you didn't want to divorce me.
00:56:51But you didn't.
00:56:52You only gave me a divorce agreement.
00:56:54Elias lowered his head.
00:56:57Shoulders trembling slightly.
00:56:59Voice carrying unconcealable dejection and remorse.
00:57:03I'm sorry.
00:57:04Layla.
00:57:05I'm sorry.
00:57:06Kieran crossed his arms.
00:57:09Looking at me with red eyes.
00:57:12Tone carrying a bit of grievance and unwillingness.
00:57:15You were so heartless when divorcing me.
00:57:18Layla.
00:57:19You always treat me differently.
00:57:21You never treated Elias like this.
00:57:24I didn't speak anymore.
00:57:26I really didn't have the strength.
00:57:29Even breathing felt strenuous.
00:57:32The two of them guarded by the bed.
00:57:34Accompanying me without saying a word.
00:57:37I didn't sleep soundly.
00:57:39Between half dream and half awake.
00:57:42I could hear their whispered conversation.
00:57:45Where's Valeria?
00:57:45Why didn't you go to her?
00:57:47Don't pester my Layla.
00:57:49Kieran started cursing again.
00:57:52His tone was nasty.
00:57:53But gone was the previous arrogance.
00:57:56He clearly promised me not to swear in the future.
00:58:00Wait.
00:58:01We are divorced.
00:58:02I can't control him anymore.
00:58:06I came to Los Angeles this time just to find Layla.
00:58:09I have never been with Valeria.
00:58:12Everything before was acting.
00:58:14All to provoke Layla.
00:58:16Wanting her to care about me.
00:58:18Originally, I had to thank you for stimulating Layla to be willing to remarry me.
00:58:23Elias's voice carried choking sobs.
00:58:26Suppressing pain.
00:58:27It took me two years to confirm that I love her Layla is like water usually.
00:58:32It feels plain when drinking but when it's really gone you know she is the most important the one I
00:58:37can't live without.
00:58:38I opened my eyes slightly.
00:58:41Looking at the ceiling.
00:58:42Hearing Elias's suppressed crying.
00:58:45There were no waves in my heart.
00:58:48Only numbness.
00:58:49What's the use of belated realization and belated love?
00:58:53Your EQ is really low enough.
00:58:56It took me a month to confirm that I love Layla.
00:58:59Kieran's voice was also hoarse.
00:59:02Full of regret.
00:59:04But the water metaphor is okay.
00:59:06Quite apt.
00:59:08Silence for a long time.
00:59:10Kieran asked again.
00:59:12Tone carrying a bit of luck.
00:59:14What about your medical team?
00:59:16The best doctors in the world have been invited.
00:59:19Is there still hope?
00:59:21No the doctor said it has spread we can only try to reduce her pain she won't last long.
00:59:25Elias's voice was low.
00:59:28Full of despair.
00:59:30How can she be so cruel?
00:59:32I just fell in love with her.
00:59:34Just wanted to treat her well.
00:59:36And she doesn't want me anymore.
00:59:39Kieran's voice carried a crying tone.
00:59:42Like an aggrieved child.
00:59:44Elias sighed.
00:59:45His tone full of self blame.
00:59:48We are the cruelest ones we hurt her again.
00:59:50And again pushed her away again.
00:59:52And again and drove her to a dead end.
00:59:54I didn't expect these two people to chat all night.
00:59:58And in the end.
00:59:59They actually started comparing who loved me more and who treated me better.
01:00:04Listening to them talk about those relatively good past events.
01:00:09I slowly fell asleep.
01:00:11Early the next morning.
01:00:13I sent both of them away temporarily.
01:00:16Then I sneaked away.
01:00:18Neither of them caught me.
01:00:19I went home.
01:00:21Packed a few pieces of luggage.
01:00:23And went to the airport.
01:00:26Flying to Tromso.
01:00:28The ticket was bought a month ago.
01:00:30I planned to go there with Kieran at that time.
01:00:33Later I forgot to cancel it.
01:00:36It wasn't until this morning that I received the reminder message.
01:00:40Then go.
01:00:41After all.
01:00:42I have planned it for a long time.
01:00:45I stayed in Tromso for a long time.
01:00:48Neither of them ever found me.
01:00:50This was probably the quietest time in my life.
01:00:54The day life came to an end.
01:00:57Pink sunset glow filled the sky.
01:00:59Very luckily.
01:01:01The whale chasing was successful.
01:01:04Hope the me in the next life.
01:01:06Has better luck too.
01:01:08Hopefully.
01:01:09Never meet them again.
01:01:11That month.
01:01:13That month.
01:01:13Elias looked forward to news of finding Layla every day.
01:01:17Unfortunately.
01:01:18There was none.
01:01:20Until January 25th.
01:01:23Layla's best friend came to find him.
01:01:26She gave him a document.
01:01:28The capitalized divorce agreement on it stung his heart.
01:01:31He thought.
01:01:33The moment Layla saw it back then.
01:01:35It probably felt like this too.
01:01:37He suddenly remembered her that day.
01:01:41She cried and said.
01:01:42Elias.
01:01:43Can we not divorce?
01:01:45This time.
01:01:47It was his turn to beg her.
01:01:49Layla.
01:01:50Let's not divorce.
01:01:52Okay.
01:01:53He turned Tromso upside down but still didn't find his Layla.
01:01:57She hid from him on purpose.
01:02:00So bad.
01:02:01Layla.
01:02:03Punishing him like this.
01:02:04He heard that she asked someone to bring something to Elias after she left.
01:02:09When Kieran went to her friend eagerly.
01:02:12The answer he got was.
01:02:14No.
01:02:14She said nothing.
01:02:16She left nothing for you.
01:02:18So cruel.
01:02:20But later.
01:02:21He was somewhat comforted when he learned that what Layla sent to Elias was a divorce agreement.
01:02:27It's just that Elias.
01:02:29That guy.
01:02:30Refused to sign no matter what.
01:02:33But it didn't matter.
01:02:35Kieran looked at the marriage certificate with Layla from the past.
01:02:39He often stayed in places where she used to be active for a whole day.
01:02:44This marriage certificate was retrieved by him secretly digging through the trash can that day.
01:02:49He was secretly delighted.
01:02:52Layla definitely couldn't guess.
01:02:54When taking a shower.
01:02:56He also often stared at the tattoo on his chest in a daze.
01:03:01Layla's pee-uppy.
01:03:03He should have realized earlier.
01:03:05How could he not like a woman who could make an arrogant person like him tattoo such words.
01:03:11TSK.
01:03:12Having other thoughts for an obsession.
01:03:14Losing her serves him right.
01:03:17He really seeks revenge for grievances if he finds someone unpleasant.
01:03:22Acting rashly all the way.
01:03:24Valeria's life in the second half was made miserable by him.
01:03:28Oh.
01:03:29He also accidentally learned the truth of that year.
01:03:33Kieran really felt he was an idiot.
01:03:35He called a bunch of people to beat himself up hard.
01:03:39Not caring about his face anymore.
01:03:42He also fought desperately against Elias.
01:03:45Until the third year after Layla left.
01:03:48Also a deep winter.
01:03:50He seemed to come back to his senses from that crazy state.
01:03:54He bought a ticket and went to Tromso to see the pink sunset glow.
01:03:59Very luckily.
01:04:00Whale chasing was successful.
01:04:02Then he lay in the biting ice water without struggling at all.
01:04:07Devoutly.
01:04:08Begging over and over again.
01:04:11Dear Layla.
01:04:12I miss you a little.
01:04:14Come pick the puppy up home.
01:04:16Okay.
