Short filmTranscript
00:00I was a top-tier emergency doctor. My ex-husband, Adrian, forged the medical records to send me to prison,
00:05just to protect his precious first love.
00:07Seven years ago, a patient died during an emergency rescue I led.
00:11The family protested outside the hospital with signs, demanding justice.
00:15They were there every single day, blocking the entrance and yelling that I should pay with my life.
00:19My own father thought I was guilty. When he passed away, he didn't even let me attend his funeral.
00:25The hospital stripped me of everything, and I spent seven years in prison.
00:28When I got out, I went north to the forest. I became a ranger. I finally found peace.
00:34Then, Adrian Cross showed up and ruined everything. He was my ex-husband, and he'd done pretty well for himself.
00:39He ran a big hospital by then, and everyone knew his name.
00:42His team rolled into the ranger station during a heavy snowstorm, and their vehicles cut through the silent white landscape.
00:48Someone's voice rang out across the clearing.
00:50Dr. Wells, Mr. Cross has been thinking about you this whole time. He's still wearing his wedding ring.
00:54I saw him standing there in the crowd, looking perfect as always. Just seeing him made me feel sick,
00:59because this man, who supposedly never stopped thinking about me, was the same person who rewrote the medical record seven
01:05years ago.
01:06He protected his precious first love and made me take the fall for everything.
01:11I opened the door, and Adrian was standing outside in his coat. There wasn't a single snowflake on him.
01:17Victoria?
01:18He sounded surprised, like he couldn't believe it was really me. I didn't answer.
01:22My hand grabbed onto the doorframe, and a rough piece of wood jabbed it into my palm. It hurt like
01:28hell.
01:28Connor, one of the other rangers, squeezed past me from behind. He was rubbing his hands together against the cold
01:34and grinning like an idiot.
01:35Mr. Cross, I heard you were bringing your team out here for winter medical rounds, so I thought I'd stop
01:40by and say hello. I'll just be here for a minute.
01:43My heart jumped, and something twisted in my chest. I didn't have a choice. I walked outside.
01:49The second I stepped through the door, a woman with glasses headed straight for me. I recognized her immediately.
01:54She used to work under Rachel Green. I had no idea what she was doing in Adrian's team back then.
01:59You're Dr. Wells, aren't you?
02:01Mr. Cross talks about you all the time. He always said you were incredible in the ER back in the
02:05day.
02:05I never thought I'd actually run into you out here.
02:07She smiled at me, but there was something pointed in her tone.
02:10Adrian cleared his throat suddenly, but his face stayed completely blank.
02:14Everyone took the hint and filed out of the cabin.
02:16Once they were gone, Adrian finally spoke.
02:19Victoria, am I too late?
02:22I bit down hard on my lip. When I spoke, my voice came out barely above a whisper.
02:27I wouldn't dare ask you to come find me, Mr. Cross.
02:29This was the first time I'd ever talked to him like he was a stranger.
02:33Adrian frowned and looked me up and down, then moved toward me.
02:35You look terrible. How'd you end up like this?
02:38Terrible? Was he seriously asking me that right now?
02:42I sneered and stepped back without thinking.
02:44Director Cross, if there's nothing else, you should probably head back.
02:48I've got patrol rounds to do later.
02:50I shoved my hands into my pockets to hide the chillblains covering them.
02:53I didn't want to give him anything to mock me with,
02:55but he just looked at me with that supposedly loving gaze and said,
02:59Vic, does it really have to be like this between us?
03:03Actually, there's something you didn't know back then.
03:06Just as Adrian was about to step closer, a voice interrupted him.
03:09Ad, didn't you promise you'd come with me to my prenatal appointment today?
03:13How did you forget again?
03:16Rachel had one hand resting on her slightly rounded belly,
03:19and she was pouting at Adrian like a spoiled kid.
03:23Dr. Wells, it's been forever since we last met each other.
03:26Ad and I had plans for later,
03:27so I got so worried that I had to track him down when I couldn't find him earlier.
03:31I hope I'm not interrupting your little reunion.
03:33So, they already had a baby on the way.
03:36Then what the hell was he even doing here?
03:38Had he driven all this way just so I could see how happy he was now?
03:41I shouldn't have been surprised.
03:43Back when I was the department head,
03:45he made me work as Rachel's assistant just to give her more opportunities.
03:48And when the medical accident happened,
03:50he threw me under the bus without a second thought.
03:52Love like that needed an audience.
03:54It always did.
03:55I forced a smile, and just as I was about to say something,
03:58Rachel's lackey from earlier piped up again.
04:00Oh, honey, you don't have to come all the way here.
04:03It's freezing out here.
04:04You should just stay home and rest.
04:06I've got everything under control here.
04:08What a fucking kiss-ass.
04:09I didn't want to deal with any of their bullshit,
04:11so I turned around and started closing the door.
04:15My brother, Zachary Wells, called me out of nowhere.
04:18I hadn't heard from him in years.
04:23Listen, Victoria, I'm warning you.
04:25Stop bothering Adrian.
04:26He's about to be a father, so quit embarrassing yourself.
04:29I froze.
04:30Rachel must have complained to him about me.
04:32You didn't even show up to Dad's funeral,
04:34and Mom's health is terrible.
04:35Adrian's been taking care of everything for us these past few years.
04:38Don't you dare cause any more trouble.
04:42I went to prison for seven years,
04:43and the whole family thought I was a disgrace to the Wells name.
04:47Before Dad died, he made it clear I wasn't allowed at his funeral.
04:50He didn't even want my name on his tombstone.
04:52Even Zachary and Mom, the two people who used to love me most,
04:56treated me like strangers by then.
04:57Thinking about Mom made my eyes start to burn.
05:00I wondered what they'd all think if they knew the truth.
05:03That Adrian and Rachel were the ones who destroyed my life.
05:06Adrian's hand shot out and stopped me from closing the door.
05:11Don't be too hard on Zach.
05:13He's in a tough spot.
05:14Mom's been sick ever since Dad passed.
05:16Zach's been handling everything on his own and taking care of her.
05:19It's not easy for him.
05:20He sighed and went on speaking.
05:22Look, I know I didn't handle things well back then.
05:25I've been trying to make it up to you all these years.
05:27If you need anything, I mean, if there's anything I can do...
05:30I didn't let him finish.
05:31I slammed the door shut.
05:33Who does she think she is?
05:34Does she seriously still think she's still the Dr. Miracle?
05:37The director came here himself, and she can't even be grateful.
05:40Stop it.
05:41If she doesn't want to see me right now, we'll go.
05:43Voices drifted through the gap, loud enough to hear.
05:46That was Adrian's voice, calm as ever.
05:50News traveled fast at a small ranger station.
05:52Within days, everyone knew Adrian had come looking for me.
05:56The talk started.
05:57My patrol route got reassigned to the northwest corner,
05:59the most remote area in the whole forest.
06:02The supervisor wouldn't look me in the eye when he told me.
06:04Victoria, you know, when I first heard about your background,
06:07I wasn't sure about hiring you.
06:08I only took you on because I felt bad.
06:10This section is pretty far out, but at least it's quiet.
06:13Nobody will bother you there.
06:14He put on a pained expression like he was doing me a favor.
06:17I didn't argue.
06:18I just took my tools and headed into the forest.
06:21Over the next few weeks, my workload kept increasing,
06:23but my paychecks kept shrinking.
06:25The reason was pretty obvious.
06:27When they started delaying my pay altogether,
06:28I went to the supervisor myself.
06:30Victoria, I think it's going to be a good decision for you to leave here.
06:34People would kill for the kind of protection Mr. Cross offers.
06:37You really hit the jackpot.
06:38Before I could say anything,
06:39he handed me all my back wages in one lump sum.
06:41I saw the stress written all over his face, so I quit right there.
06:45He looked relieved immediately.
06:47His whole expression relaxed.
06:49I knew it.
06:50Of course, this was Adrian's doing.
06:52Anyone who wanted that kind of jackpot could have it.
06:54I sure as hell couldn't handle it.
06:56I grabbed my beat-up bag, took a deep breath,
06:58and walked out of the ranger station for the last time.
07:02I visited my grandmother's grave.
07:04She was the one who'd raised me after my parents were gone.
07:07Then I wandered through the streets like a homeless person.
07:10For a while, it felt exactly like those first days after I got out of prison.
07:14A few days later, Adrian found me.
07:16He showed up at my apartment and looked around, frowning.
07:19The place was a dump, and we both knew it.
07:21I've set up an admin position for you at Sands Hospital.
07:24You can start tomorrow.
07:25His voice was calm and decisive, like he'd already decided everything.
07:29It was ridiculous.
07:31He was still doing this, still trying to arrange my entire life for me,
07:35just like he had years ago.
07:36Sorry, I'm not taking it.
07:38The words were out before I could stop them.
07:41Adrian's brow furrowed.
07:43Why not?
07:44What else are you going to do looking like this?
07:46We're divorced, but we're still family.
07:49You don't have to keep saying no.
07:51I'm doing this for your own good.
07:52For my own good?
07:54More like he was trying to ease his guilt over what he'd done back then.
07:58No thanks.
08:00I just want to find somewhere nobody knows me and live a quiet life.
08:03I don't care about anything else.
08:06Not even Zachary's job?
08:07I looked up into his eyes.
08:09They were so serious that I knew he wasn't joking.
08:13The next day, I showed up at St. Ann's Hospital right on time.
08:16As soon as I walked into the office, a familiar face came over.
08:19Dr. Wells, welcome to St. Annan's.
08:21I know you don't have your medical license anymore, but with your talent, I'm sure you'll do great anywhere.
08:26If you need anything at all, just ask me or add.
08:28Rachel held the flowers and handed them to me.
08:30Just like that, everyone in the room was staring at me.
08:34I heard people whispering behind me.
08:36So that's the Dr. Miracle from the news.
08:38I heard she killed someone during surgery and went to prison for years.
08:42That's her, Mr. Cross's ex-wife.
08:45She looks pretty plain to me.
08:46No idea what he saw in her.
08:48Dr. Green is so classy, though.
08:50Being this nice to her boyfriend's ex?
08:53That's what you get with someone who studied abroad.
08:56Watching Rachel act all superior made me feel sick.
08:59I walked straight to my desk and ignored her completely.
09:02But I knew exactly who was to blame for the life I was living.
09:07Rachel followed me over and set the flowers on my desk.
09:10Ad told me your mother's health hasn't been great.
09:12If there's anything I can do to help, please just ask.
09:15I really hope you'll be comfortable here at St. Ann's.
09:17Everything Rachel said reeked of fake compassion.
09:20She was dying for everyone to see what a saint she was.
09:23My mother heard I was working at St. Ann's,
09:25so she came in for an appointment and brought Zachary with her.
09:28Seeing her broke my heart.
09:30Her hair had gone completely white,
09:32and she was hunched over like she was carrying the weight of the world.
09:35My throat tightened, but she wasn't even looking at me.
09:38Her eyes were fixed on Adrienne the whole time.
09:41Adrienne, honey, thank you for everything you've done all these years.
09:45Taking care of an old woman like me,
09:47and now you have to deal with Victoria, too.
09:50Then after she finished, she started coughing like the speech had taken everything out of her.
09:55I smiled, but it was bitter.
09:57My heart ached, and I felt helpless at the same time.
10:00To both her and Zachary,
10:01I was just the family's permanent stain that wouldn't wash out.
10:06I was leaving work one evening as usual when Rachel and Adrienne stopped me.
10:10Rachel was visibly pregnant by then.
10:12Dr. Wells, just thought I should warn you.
10:15I heard a patient going around today telling everyone you killed his father.
10:18He found out you're back somehow.
10:20He might be planning to come after you.
10:22You should really be careful.
10:23I caught the tiny smile on Rachel's face before she hit it.
10:26Sure enough, over the next few days,
10:28I noticed someone following me home from work.
10:30My apartment building got covered in hateful graffiti and signs.
10:33Someone even printed out photos of my face and slashed them with a knife,
10:37then plastered them all over the alley.
10:38Finally, the dead patient's family had filled my entire street with their rage.
10:43Finally, on a night when it was pouring rain,
10:45I was walking home late after working overtime.
10:48A group of men surrounded me.
10:50A wooden bat cracked against my skull.
10:53Blood ran down hot from my ear and dripped onto my collar.
10:56What a joke.
10:57You're going to pay for my father's life today.
10:59Then I heard the sound of sticks hitting my body over and over.
11:03My father died on your operating table.
11:05You don't deserve to live either.
11:06Good thing Dr. Green gave me your address.
11:08Now you're going to die knowing exactly why.
11:11My consciousness started fading.
11:13He grabbed me by the collar and yanked me up.
11:15Then he pulled out a knife from his coat.
11:17The blade caught the light.
11:19Rain pounded into my eyes like it was trying to wash away my entire miserable life.
11:24I thought of them all.
11:25My father, who refused to forgive me even when he was dying.
11:28My mother, who couldn't even look at me and left me to fend for myself.
11:32Zachary, who was so disgusted by me he still wouldn't speak to me.
11:36And my husband, who promised to stay with me forever and then betrayed me anyway.
11:40I closed my eyes.
11:42The knife plunged into my stomach.
11:43I collapsed onto the ground and I couldn't move at all.
11:46Just when I was about to leave this world behind, I heard footsteps running toward me and someone shouted,
11:50Stop!
11:53Right before I lost consciousness completely, someone lifted me into the ambulance.
11:57Police cars pulled up a few seconds later.
11:59When the guy who saved me wiped the blood off my face, I finally saw who it was, Nathaniel Hayes.
12:04He was in my med school class and we worked in the same lab together.
12:06He was focused on checking my wounds and I could see the worry in his eyes.
12:11Then he looked straight at me.
12:13Don't be scared.
12:14I'm not going to let anything happen to you.
12:16Trust me.
12:17His voice was gentle.
12:18I forced my eyes to stay open and managed to get the words out.
12:21Nathaniel, what are you doing here?
12:22I glanced at the hospital badge still clipped to his coat.
12:25I could barely make out the words through my blurred vision.
12:27Oakmont Hospital.
12:28That's where I worked right after graduation.
12:31After all these years, he was still there.
12:32Don't talk.
12:34Save your strength.
12:35We'll talk when you're better.
12:36They rushed me into surgery at Oakmont Hospital.
12:39The operation went well and I was moved to a regular room for observation.
12:43Nathaniel stayed with me the entire time through surgery and recovery.
12:46He said it was because we went to med school together and I was his patient.
12:50But days went by and nobody else showed up.
12:52Not a single familiar face except his.
12:56My wound healed quickly under Nathaniel's care.
12:58He noticed I kept looking confused about something, so he finally spoke up.
13:02Victoria, I've heard what happened to you.
13:04The whole medical community's been talking about it.
13:08I was head of the city medical board by then and I'd been looking into your case pretty carefully.
13:13Something had happened in that operate room that we didn't know about yet.
13:15Look at this.
13:17The pre-op exam, the surgical procedure, the post-op care, everything looked fine on paper.
13:23But something went wrong somewhere and I couldn't figure out where.
13:26I'd been doing some digging though and I thought I was getting close to the real problem.
13:30Nathaniel, why were you doing this for me?
13:34The tears spilled over before I could stop them.
13:37All those years, not one person had believed me.
13:40Not my parents, not my brother, nobody.
13:42To them, I was a criminal and nothing was ever going to change that.
13:45Because you were Dr. Miracle.
13:47Nathaniel looked at my tear-stained face and smiled.
13:50I'd known you for years.
13:51I knew exactly what kind of person you were.
13:53If you'd actually screwed up, you would have admitted it.
13:55But that surgery, that was nothing for someone with your skills.
13:58No matter what it took, I was going to clear your name.
14:01Because I believed you.
14:03The moment Nathaniel stopped talking, the door swung open.
14:06I pulled back the curtain and saw Adrian walking in with Rachel right behind him.
14:10They both froze when they spotted Nathaniel.
14:12Mr. Hayes, are you doing rounds personally?
14:15Mr. Cross, it's been a while.
14:18I performed Victoria's surgery myself, so I'm checking on her recovery.
14:22Also, the police will be here soon to ask some questions.
14:25Adrian nodded and walked over to my bed.
14:27How are you feeling? Any better?
14:29Before I could answer, Rachel grabbed my hand like she'd been terrified the whole time.
14:33Oh my god, Victoria, you really need to be me more careful!
14:37Ad and I warned you, but look what happened!
14:39I lay there and watched her perform.
14:41Then I yanked my hand away.
14:43I had nothing to say to her.
14:45Nathaniel stared at Rachel coldly, like he saw right through her act.
14:49Then he turned to Adrian.
14:50Everyone in the medical community heard about what happened back then.
14:53Is there something you haven't told people, Mr. Cross?
14:56From what I know about Victoria, that case was never as simple as it seemed.
15:00Or maybe you had your own agenda all along, and Victoria was just a pawn to you.
15:04Adrian's face went dark.
15:06Rachel stood behind him looking like she was about to pass out.
15:09After that, Adrian tried to transfer me to St. Anne's Hospital.
15:12He said I worked there, so I should be treated there.
15:15But Nathaniel refused.
15:16He said my wound hadn't healed yet.
15:18Victoria, do you remember the promise we made on our first day of medical school?
15:23We vowed to dedicate ourselves to healing.
15:25To save lives no matter how hard it got.
15:28No matter what it takes, I'm going to find out the truth for you.
15:32A cool breeze drifted through the room.
15:34I nodded slowly.
15:35Victoria, don't ever give up on yourself.
15:37All these years later, he was still the same teaching assistant who never quit until he reached his goal.
15:43The only difference was, his conviction ran even deeper by then.
15:46My mother and Zachary came to visit me at the hospital.
15:49Nathaniel seemed to read my mind.
15:51He led them out of the room.
15:53Mrs. Wells, Victoria's recovery is going well, but she needs time to adjust to seeing you both again.
15:59What happened back then?
16:01My mother wiped her tears and looked at me through the doorway.
16:04Thank you so much, Dr. Hayes.
16:06She's recovering so well because of you.
16:09We didn't know they'd go this far.
16:12If we had known, I never would let her stay out there alone.
16:16Actually, that day at the hospital, I think I heard Rachel say something about making sure it was done clean.
16:21But I didn't want to think about it that way, and I couldn't be sure if it had anything to
16:26do with what happened to you.
16:27They both glanced at me quietly and then walked out of the room.
16:30Nathaniel ran his hand through my hair but didn't say anything.
16:34After I started feeling better, Nathaniel and I began investigating the medical malpractice case from years ago.
16:40Nathaniel had actually already collected most of the evidence, especially with help from his cop friend.
16:45He found out that some of the witness statements from back then had serious problems.
16:49Look at this. The patient's blood pressure was already at stage 3 before surgery, and it never came down.
16:55He wasn't even a candidate for this kind of surgery. His age wasn't ideal either.
16:59They could have chosen conservative treatment instead.
17:02I don't know what happened in there, but complications in this type of routine heart surgery are extremely rare,
17:06unless the patient doesn't meet the basic requirements for the procedure.
17:08Back then, after the family learned about the father's condition, they insisted on the surgery.
17:12They signed all the consent forms.
17:14Rachel was the one who actually performed the surgery.
17:16Adrian insisted I assist, so I was in the OR with her.
17:19During the procedure, Rachel made some mistakes that couldn't be fixed.
17:21The situation started to go wrong. The old man didn't make it through the surgery.
17:25You're telling me a doctor would gamble with a patient's life like that?
17:29Rachel had barely started at Sacred Horm, and she was already doing surgeries?
17:33And Adrian just let her do it? Then he made you take the fall?
17:35I could feel how angry Nathaniel was, but we didn't have any real proof.
17:39All the evidence pointed to me. It said the patient died because I made a mistake during the operation.
17:45Rachel came out of this completely clean because Adrian protected her.
17:48Even the surgical records had my name on them, not hers.
17:51I thought Rachel could handle a simple procedure like that.
17:54She'd trained overseas for years, so I signed off on the paperwork without thinking twice.
17:58But then the investigation started, and everything pointed straight at me.
18:01I was trapped with no way out. I couldn't defend myself. Nobody would listen.
18:06When Nathaniel heard all this, he grabbed my hand tight.
18:11His cop friend helped us dig into the case, and we found out the nurse who testified had some major
18:15holes in her story.
18:16She said she saw me performing the surgery, but the truth was, she never even stepped into that operating room.
18:21She also claimed that Rachel was too new and that Adrian would never approve her performing surgery so soon,
18:27especially not a cardiac procedure.
18:29Her testimony cleared both of them at once, and I had no idea she was even on duty outside the
18:34OR that day.
18:35That meant we never saw each other at all.
18:37We followed this lead and found out that this nurse, Lily Jensen, quit Sacred Heart right after everything happened.
18:43The suspicious part was this. Lily came from an ordinary family, but suddenly she'd bought a huge house in a
18:49prime downtown location.
18:51The person who transferred her the money was Rachel, the same Rachel who walked away clean.
18:56Finally, we were making real progress.
18:58I was also discharged from Oakmont Hospital with a clean bill of health.
19:03The first thing I did after getting out was go to St. Anne's and quit my job.
19:06What was weird was that Rachel and Adrian didn't even try to stop me.
19:09They just made small talk for a minute, and that was all.
19:12That same night, I got a call from an unknown number.
19:15The voice told me it had been years, and I should stay out of this.
19:18They said if I kept digging, I would regret it.
19:20I told Nathaniel everything.
19:21He was worried someone might threaten me again,
19:23so he found me a new apartment right near his place, close to Oakmont Hospital.
19:26I didn't have many other options at the time, so I accepted his help and moved in.
19:30But the threats didn't scare me off.
19:33If anything, they made me more determined to clear my name.
19:36Someone out there was getting nervous, and that told me I was on the right track.
19:40That was when Nathaniel discovered something shocking.
19:43The people who showed up at the hospital claiming to be the patient's family had no relation to him at
19:48all.
19:48They were basically thugs who got paid to come after me.
19:51That meant Rachel's whole story about hearing family members at the hospital plotting revenge was probably a lie, too.
19:56We realized we needed to talk to the patient's actual family.
19:59It had been years, but the old man's photo still sat in the most prominent spot in their living room.
20:04It was clean and cared for.
20:06When the son heard we were there about his father, he started crying again.
20:10Then I told him who I was, and he dropped to his knees right in front of me.
20:13I'm so sorry, Dr. Wells.
20:15You've suffered so much because of me.
20:17My family insisted on the surgery, even though we knew Dad's health was bad.
20:21We just wanted him to live a little longer, but it backfired.
20:26Afterwards, someone told me you'd done something wrong during the operation.
20:29They said that's why my father didn't make it off the table.
20:32They told me to report you and promised I'd get compensation money.
20:35I knew something was off.
20:37The harder they pushed, the more suspicious it seemed.
20:39But I was out of my mind with grief, and I desperately needed the money, so I went through with
20:43it.
20:43My conscience hasn't let me rest for a single day since then.
20:46I never thought I'd see you again, Dr. Wells.
20:48This is all my fault.
20:49I ruined your life.
20:50Tears streamed down my face before I could stop them.
20:53Only I knew how much these words meant to me.
20:56Nathaniel helped the man stand up and asked if he remembered who contacted him.
21:00They never showed their face, just called me on the phone.
21:03I remember hearing someone in the background call them Dr. Green.
21:07That evening, when we left, Nathaniel took my hand.
21:10He was trying to give me whatever warmth he could.
21:12I was one step closer to proving my innocence.
21:15But right when we thought we were about to succeed, everything stalled.
21:21It's okay.
21:22At least you believe me.
21:24Don't worry.
21:25I'm not giving up on this.
21:31Victoria, where are you?
21:32I need to see you.
21:33It's important.
21:33Okay.
21:3515-2-20 Ventera Bods.
21:37Adrian showed up at my new place pretty quickly.
21:39He must have been running because he was still catching his breath.
21:42When he realized Nathaniel was there, he froze.
21:45The surprise was written all over his face.
21:48You don't need to hide anything.
21:49He's the person I trust most right now.
21:52I handled things really badly back then with that case.
21:56Victoria, I'm sorry.
21:57I should have spoken up sooner.
21:58You suffered because I didn't.
21:59I know it's late, but I want to clear your name.
22:01Rachel had just gotten back from overseas when all this happened.
22:03We got together pretty quickly after that.
22:04That surgery was scheduled for you, but once we got into the OR, Rachel pushed her way onto it first.
22:10I didn't know what to do, so I just had you assist instead.
22:12She should have been able to handle it fine, but halfway through, she made a critical mistake.
22:19Later, Rachel told me she was pregnant.
22:21She ended up losing the baby.
22:22But back then, I couldn't bring myself to expose her.
22:25Neither mustros delittle her.
22:27I let them blame you for the surgery instead.
22:30Just stood there and watched them take you away.
22:33Tears ran down Adrian's face when he finished.
22:35Maybe it was guilt.
22:36Maybe it was regret.
22:37So why are you suddenly willing to tell the truth now?
22:40Isn't she pregnant again?
22:41What happened to protecting her this time?
22:43Because I found out Rachel wasn't the person I thought she was.
22:47She wasn't innocent at all.
22:49She secretly opened multiple offshore accounts.
22:52One of them was linked to illegal organ trafficking.
22:55I may be a lot of things, but I won't stand by and watch someone violate everything a doctor is
23:00supposed to be.
23:00With Adrian's testimony, everything became easier.
23:03Nathaniel's friend helped track down the nurse who gave false testimony.
23:06The whole case started moving in the right direction.
23:09Soon enough, with all the evidence laid out, Rachel confessed to everything.
23:13She got so upset during questioning that she lost her second baby to Adrian, too.
23:17When she looked at Adrian after that, her eyes were full of confusion, resentment, and pure hatred.
23:23It was pretty clear those two were done for good.
23:32After all these years, the medical malpractice case finally got overturned.
23:36I could walk in the sunlight again with my head held high.
23:39Adrian went to prison for covering up Rachel's crimes.
23:42The nurse, Lily, got arrested, too, for perjury.
23:44They also tracked down the guy who stabbed me that day and locked him up.
23:48As for Rachel, she was facing charges for manslaughter, illegal organ trafficking, and conspiracy.
23:53She was probably never seeing daylight again.
23:56Nathaniel and I were standing on the rooftop of Oakmont Hospital.
23:59The sun was shining down on us.
24:11A few months later, I passed to the medical licensing exam and officially started working at Oakmont Hospital.
24:19Nobody called me Dr. Miracle anymore, but that was okay.
24:23Every day, I watched patients' pain ease a little more, and I heard them call out Dr. Wells when they
24:28needed me.
24:28It made me feel like that younger version of myself again.
24:31The one who'd been full of energy and confidence.
24:33All these small moments were healing something inside me.
24:37They gave me back the dignity and purpose I'd lost years ago.
24:41I worked hard, and eventually, I got the chance to partner with Nathaniel on cases.
24:45We worked together every day, and our rhythm was even better than it had been back in med school.
24:49Our connection kept growing stronger.
24:51One evening, after a long surgery, we headed home through the snow.
24:56There was a fire burning in the fireplace, and our dog was curled up next to it for warmth.
25:00Before long, Nathaniel had the whole table covered with food.
25:03There was mac and cheese, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, all the comfort food I loved.
25:08He remembered.
25:09He'd always remembered what I liked.
25:12His face went red.
25:14He put down his fork and walked into his study without saying anything.
25:18Victoria, the medical department is organizing rural clinics in underserved areas.
25:22I thought you might be interested.
25:24He'd always known what I wanted.
25:26He'd always understood.
25:27I held the form in my hands and smiled at him.
25:30I couldn't find words for a long time.
25:32Nathaniel nodded at me.
25:33His eyes were gentle, but there was something steady in them.
25:36All these years, I thought I'd figured people out.
25:39I thought I knew how the world worked.
25:41But I never expected there would be someone who would keep believing in me, keep loving
25:45me, keep treating me like I mattered.
25:47Nathaniel gave me hope for a new life.
25:49He gave me a home when I had nowhere to go.
25:51He showed me that no matter how bad things got, I shouldn't give up on myself.
25:55He was a doctor, and he didn't just heal my body.
25:58He healed my broken heart too.
26:00From then on, I moved forward, and I wasn't going to be afraid anymore because I knew there
26:04was someone walking right beside me the whole way.
