16:28completely shocked.
16:30He reached out to pick me up
16:32but he was clearly exhausted
16:34trying several times but failing.
16:36I held tightly to his thigh.
16:38Dad, we came to take you home.
16:40Mom rushed over as well.
16:43Rick, you've been gone for five days
16:45and it started snowing.
16:48She didn't dare say she was worried.
16:51Back then,
16:52when my biological father
16:53didn't come home for days
16:54Mom went to look for him too.
16:56I was afraid something happened to you.
16:59But my father just slapped her across the face.
17:02Something happened?
17:03What could happen to a man like me?
17:05It's because you cursed me all day
17:07that I'm so unlucky.
17:08After that,
17:09Mom never dared to show her worry again.
17:12He wasn't a good husband,
17:14a good father,
17:15or even a good person.
17:17But Rick just looked at Mom
17:18and quirked his lips.
17:20He tried to smile
17:21but maybe he hadn't smiled in years
17:23and forgot how.
17:24He gave us an explanation.
17:26This game was too big.
17:28That's why I'm late.
17:30He hoisted the black bear back up
17:32and told us to go home.
17:34Go back and start the fire.
17:36I'll be home soon.
17:38That bear was massive.
17:40He must have dragged it for so long
17:42that he was completely exhausted.
17:45Yet, he didn't demand our help.
17:47He wanted to carry the burden himself.
17:50Mom saw how tired he was
17:52and hesitated.
17:53She didn't want to disobey,
17:55but she desperately wanted to help.
17:58I ran forward and grabbed the bear's leg.
18:01Dad, we're going back with you.
18:03I didn't have much strength
18:05and the bear's fur felt terrifying.
18:08It was so huge
18:09that it looked fierce even in death.
18:12Mom found her courage
18:13and ran over too.
18:15We'll help you.
18:17It took all our strength
18:19to drag the black bear home.
18:20The snow on the ground was thick now.
18:23The ranch was pitch black
18:24and the trail was empty.
18:26We finally made it back.
18:29The giant bear lay in the snow
18:31looking even more fierce.
18:33But I wasn't afraid.
18:35I circled it a few times
18:36and ran back to Rick.
18:37I leaned against his leg
18:39and looked up.
18:40Dad, you're amazing.
18:42You actually killed a black bear.
18:45Rick was too tired to move,
18:47but he reached out.
18:48He gently patted my head.
18:51Yeah.
18:52His hand was large,
18:54rough, and heavy.
18:55But when he touched me,
18:57it was light and warm.
18:59Jason's hands were big too,
19:00but they weren't rough.
19:02He rarely did any real work.
19:04Jason wasn't even that strong.
19:06When he got into trouble in town,
19:09he would just curl up
19:10and take the hits.
19:12But when he hit me and mom,
19:14he was very strong.
19:15His blows made my head ring
19:17every time.
19:18In this place,
19:19many men slapped their wives
19:21and children.
19:22I used to think all fathers
19:23and husbands were like that.
19:25I didn't know someone
19:26could be different.
19:28The next morning,
19:30before dawn,
19:31Rick borrowed a tractor.
19:32He woke us up to go to town
19:34and sell the bear.
19:35He knew exactly where to go.
19:38He stopped at a grand luxury house.
19:41A butler came out
19:42and greeted him warmly.
19:44They hugged and talked
19:45like old friends.
19:47I realized then
19:48that dad could be so full of life.
19:50He could actually talk this much.
19:53Mom and I stayed back,
19:55staring at the fancy gates.
19:57We didn't dare step forward.
19:59Dad pointed at us.
20:01The butler looked us over
20:03and pulled out a small coin purse.
20:05Here, child.
20:06Take this.
20:08I was too scared to take it,
20:10but he pressed it into my hand.
20:12Dad nodded,
20:13so I finally accepted it.
20:15Thank you.
20:16There was a silver coin inside.
20:19I immediately put the coin
20:21in Dad's hand.
20:23Dad, this is for you.
20:26The butler froze for a second,
20:28then burst out laughing.
20:30Rick, you have a sweet daughter.
20:32You're a lucky man.
20:33He handed me a big apple.
20:36The coin is for your dad,
20:39but this is for you.
20:41Keep it for yourself.
20:43Merry Christmas to your family.
20:45The butler bought the bear
20:46and invited Dad for a drink.
20:48Won't you come in for a drink?
20:50Rick waved him off and refused.
20:52No, thank you.
20:53We need to buy things for Christmas.
20:56The black bear sold for a lot of money.
20:59Dad took us to the streets.
21:01First, he bought a lot of candy.
21:03He put them into three red socks.
21:06I took one out
21:08and put it in my mouth, carefully.
21:10I peeled another one for Mom.
21:12Mom didn't dare to eat
21:14and looked at Dad.
21:16She wanted to save it for me,
21:18but Dad stopped her.
21:20Too much sugar makes kids sick.
21:23We don't want to see the doctor again.
21:25Mom remembered my stomach ache
21:27and didn't give me more.
21:29So, Mom finally opened her mouth
21:31and ate the candy.
21:34Dad then took us to buy meat,
21:36flour, and butter.
21:38He even bought spices for cooking.
21:41Finally, we went to a clothing store
21:43for new coats.
21:45Mom waved her hands and said no.
21:48Our old coats are still good.
21:51I said no, too.
21:53The old quilts and coats Dad gave us
21:55were already warm and clean.
21:57That was good enough for me.
21:59I had never worn such nice clothes in my life.
22:03But Dad insisted on buying new ones.
22:08I bought old ones because I was broke.
22:10Now we have money.
22:12In the end,
22:13we bought fabric and cotton
22:14instead of finished coats.
22:17I can sew quickly.
22:18They'll be ready before Christmas.
22:20She still didn't want to spend too much.
22:23She picked out a plaid fabric for Dad
22:26and held it up to him.
22:28Rick, this pattern looks good on you.
22:30It was the first time they were so close.
22:33I think I saw Dad's face turn red.
22:38Dad lifted me up and set me on his shoulders.
22:41I could see so far away.
22:44I laughed out loud.
22:45It was my first time being up this high.
22:48Mom was worried and kept checking Dad's leg.
22:52She was afraid he would get too tired.
22:54After a while,
22:56Dad bought me some toys.
22:57He also bought hair clips
22:59and brooches for me and Mom.
23:01Brother, your wife and daughter are beautiful.
23:04These brooches from the city
23:05suit them perfectly.
23:06Both Dad and Mom blushed at the same time.
23:10On the way back,
23:11we sat on the tractor.
23:12I hugged my red socks tightly.
23:15This was the happiest day of my life.
23:17As we passed the Hudson Ranch,
23:19I saw Grandmother.
23:20She was feeding the cows in the yard.
23:23My uncle was lounging under the eaves in the sun.
23:26He still had no job and no wife.
23:28He just ate, drank, and wasted his life.
23:31After selling us to Rick,
23:33he had that money.
23:34Now he worked even less.
23:36He said he was preparing for a blind date.
23:38Grandmother always called us lazy,
23:40but I never dared to say
23:41that my uncle was the laziest one.
23:44I gripped my red socks and stared at them.
23:47Grandmother and my uncle noticed us.
23:49Their eyes widened in disbelief.
23:51Then, their faces turned into a hateful scowl.
23:54You two shrewd!
23:56Grandmother was cursing at us.
23:58Dad stopped the tractor.
24:00He threw a stone and hit my uncle right on the head.
24:03My uncle jumped up in pain.
24:05Who did that?
24:07Dad threw another stone into Grandmother's water basin.
24:11They are my wife and daughter now.
24:14If you insult them again,
24:16you're dealing with me.
24:17He looked terrifying.
24:19Even with a limp,
24:20he stood like a mountain.
24:22Grandmother and my uncle were bullies
24:24who feared the strong.
24:26They were furious,
24:28but didn't dare say a word.
24:30Mom gripped my hand.
24:31Her eyes turned red.
24:33As we drove away,
24:35I looked back.
24:36I could still see their hateful glares.
24:39I suddenly felt brave.
24:41I waved my red socks
24:43and made a face at them.
24:45I had a real dad now.
24:47They could never bully us again.
24:49Back home,
24:50Mom started decorating the tree
24:52and making apple pie.
24:54Dad spent his time
24:55fixing everything in the house.
24:57He gathered wood
24:58and never stayed idle.
25:00He brought back more pheasants and rabbits.
25:03Eat more meat,
25:04then your stomach won't hurt anymore.
25:06I wanted to follow him into the mountains,
25:08but he refused.
25:10Kids stay home and play.
25:12I tried to help Mom,
25:13but she sent me away too.
25:16Your dad wants you to play.
25:18Go on,
25:19you haven't had a chance to be a kid yet.
25:21At the Hudson Ranch,
25:22I never had time to play.
25:24Now that I could,
25:25I didn't know how.
25:27I walked along the path with some candy.
25:30I saved them carefully,
25:31not wanting to eat them.
25:33But then,
25:34I ran into some mean kids
25:36from a nearby farm.
25:37They swarmed me
25:38and grabbed my candy.
25:40You're a brat born from that limp farmer.
25:42Your grandmother said so.
25:43It must be true.
25:44A bitch and her brat.
25:46No wonder her husband just died
25:48and she remarried already.
25:50I fought back with all my might.
25:52That's not true!
25:53Grandmother kicked us out!
25:55My mom isn't a bitch
25:56and I'm not a brat!
25:59But I was too small.
26:01I couldn't beat them.
26:03My clothes were torn.
26:05My candy was gone.
26:07Even my new hair clip was missing.
26:09They laughed and ran off with my sweets.
26:12I sat in the mud and cried.
26:15Grandmother and my uncle stood nearby,
26:17watching with wicked smiles.
26:20You deserve this!
26:22We should have sold them
26:23to the town tavern back then!
26:25I screamed at them.
26:26I am not a brat!
26:28You are the bad people!
26:30You are evil!
26:31I was so small back then.
26:34My mom had already had a child.
26:36The tavern would never pay that much for us.
26:38They thought I was too young to understand.
26:40But I had overheard their conversation.
26:43They were the truly wicked ones.
26:45They wanted to leave us at the ranch.
26:46They wanted to watch Rick beat us to death.
26:50But they never expected this.
26:52Dad never hit us.
26:54He never tortured us even for a second.
26:57He treated us so well.
26:59They couldn't stand it.
27:00So they spread rumors behind our backs.
27:03They framed us everywhere.
27:04Clearly, they are the real monsters.
27:08I lost the hair clip and candy Dad bought me.
27:11I was too ashamed to go home.
27:12I lingered near the gate, hesitating.
27:15Dad came down from the mountain.
27:17He saw me covered in mud and blood.
27:19He dropped his pheasants in shock.
27:21I had never seen him so angry.
27:24Who did this?
27:25I trembled in fear.
27:27I'm sorry.
27:28I'm so sorry.
27:30He panicked, trying to wipe the mud off my face.
27:33Tell Dad.
27:35Who hit you?
27:36His hands were rough, but they calmed my racing heart.
27:40I stuttered through the whole story.
27:42The more I spoke, the darker his face became.
27:46He took me back and left me with Mom.
27:48Then he grabbed his axe to head out.
27:51Rick.
27:51Mom pulled him back and shook her head.
27:55Dad thought for a moment.
27:56He dropped the axe and grabbed a wooden club instead.
28:00That day, the parents of those bullies all got a dream.
28:04If you can't teach your kids, I won't hit them.
28:06I'll hit you instead.
28:09Those grown men were chased like rabbits.
28:14By a man with a limp.
28:17Dad moved slowly but steadily.
28:19He caught up to them and struck them down.
28:22The men wailed in pain.
28:25Break your leg.
28:25Everyone in the ranch came out to watch.
28:28Then Dad went to the Hudson ranch.
28:30He gave my uncle a brutal beating.
28:33My uncle screamed and begged for mercy.
28:35He promised he would never do it again.
28:38I won't do it again.
28:39I promise.
28:40Dad turned to the crowd of onlookers.
28:42If you have something to say, say it to my face.
28:44No one dared to speak.
28:46They all waved their hands and shook their heads.
28:48We all know what the Hudsons are like.
28:50Just go live your life.
28:51Look at how happy your family is now.
28:54Dad dropped the club.
28:55He patted my head and led me home.
29:01Have you lived this long without a name?
29:04I shook my head.
29:06Grandmother called me a brat.
29:08Mom only called me baby.
29:10Dad pulled me close and looked at the stars.
29:12From now on, your name is Stella.
29:16Shine like a star and have a bright future ahead.
29:21For the first time, I had a real name.
29:24Stella Cooper, I have my own name now.
29:27I smiled at Mom.
29:28Dad smiled too and patted my head.
29:32I finally have a daughter of my own.
29:35That night, Mom talked to me.
29:37Stella, you're a big girl now.
29:41Starting tomorrow, you sleep on your own, okay?
29:44If I sleep alone, where will Mom sleep?
29:47I thought about it and nodded hard.
29:49Okay, Mom.
29:50You and Dad have a baby brother or sister soon.
29:53I'll play with them.
29:54This time, I really wanted a sibling.
29:57A sibling just like Dad would be wonderful.
30:01The next morning, Dad woke me up early.
30:05Stella, was I cool when I handled those bad guys yesterday?
30:08I nodded vigorously.
30:09So cool.
30:10If you want to protect yourself,
30:12you want to rely on more forever.
30:14You have to rely on yourself.
30:17Do you want like me strong?
30:19I nodded again.
30:20Yes.
30:21I wanted to be strong like him.
30:23I wanted to protect my parents and my future siblings.
30:26I wanted to hunt bears and earn lots of money.
30:29Dad looked proud.
30:31He made me run 50 laps around our ranch cabin.
30:35By the end, I could barely stand.
30:37He gritted his teeth and wouldn't let me stop.
30:41Mom looked pained, but she didn't say a word.
30:44She just made extra food and added two fried eggs for me.
30:48After running, there was weight training.
30:51Dad brought sandbags from the ranch warehouse.
30:54They felt like a thousand pounds on my arms.
30:57After a day of training, my hands and feet were covered in blisters.
31:02Mom washed my feet and popped the blisters for me.
31:05Stella, train hard.
31:07Your dad is doing this for your own good.
31:11I know, Mom.
31:13Most ranch families only teach girls to gather wood, wash clothes, and cook.
31:18Who would ever teach a girl how to be strong?
31:20I understood how much Dad cared for me.
31:23That night, Mom moved into Dad's room.
31:25I heard them talking for a bit before the lights went out.
31:29My body ached all over, but I slept peacefully.
31:32The next morning, Dad woke up late.
31:35I had already finished 30 laps when he came out.
31:38His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
31:41All day long, Dad and Mom were blushing.
31:44They kept stealing glances at each other.
31:46Why hide it?
31:48Just look if you want to.
31:50Grown-ups are so strange.
31:51We had a perfect Christmas.
31:53Dad used the bear money to expand the ranch.
31:56He bought two dairy cows and a few beef cattle.
31:59When we weren't farming, we were managing the ranch.
32:02During the off-season, we went hunting.
32:04Dad started taking me into the mountains.
32:07He taught me how to track animals and read their droppings.
32:10He showed me how to avoid bears and wolves.
32:12He taught me to set traps and use a hunting rifle.
32:16He even showed me how to knock someone out with minimal force
32:19and how to spot poisonous plants in the woods.
32:22I was weak, so my progress was slow.
32:25But Dad was always patient.
32:26Our family was happy.
32:28But the rumors never truly stopped.
32:30Most of them came from the Hudsons.
32:32Rick's fault he's a cripple.
32:35That person pretends to be arrogant and married a cripple.
32:39So what if Jason was handsome?
32:41His only talents were hitting us, gambling and drinking.
32:46I started staring at Dad's leg.
32:48Dad noticed and tried to walk slower to hide his limp.
32:51Sometimes he would lean on the ranch fence for support.
32:56Your dad is so good to you, Stella.
33:00Don't be heartless.
33:02Don't look down on him like others.
33:04Mom thought I was becoming ungrateful.
33:06Her eyes turned red with anger.
33:08But she couldn't bring herself to hit me.
33:09I quickly grabbed her hand to explain.
33:12Mom, I don't look down on Dad.
33:14I feel bad for him.
33:16I want to study medicine.
33:18I want to fix his leg.
33:20I didn't care that he limped.
33:22I didn't care about the scar on his face.
33:24I just hated seeing him unable to sleep when it rained.
33:28I hated that hunting was harder for him than others.
33:32Mom understood my thoughts, but she was worried.
33:34There were no medical schools in town.
33:37Besides, I was only a six-year-old girl.
33:39Dad overheard us from outside the cabin.
33:42He stayed silent for two days.
33:44He just sat on the porch, staring at the mountains.
33:48Two days later, he took me back to the city.
33:50We found the butler who bought the black bear.
33:53Dad asked him for a favor.
33:54The man looked at me carefully.
33:57He patted Dad's shoulder and agreed happily.
33:59If she wants to learn, she can start as an assistant in the pharmacy.
34:06Stella, studying medicine is very hard.
34:08You have to memorize names, mix medicine, and care for the sick.
34:13People might yell at you or even hit you.
34:17Can you handle it?
34:18I slapped my chest and spoke loudly.
34:21I can.
34:22I'll fix my dad's leg and earn lots of money.
34:26I'll take care of my parents and my future siblings.
34:30The man burst out laughing and nudged Dad's arm.
34:32Rick, your daughter is so sweet.
34:36Is the next one already on the way?
34:38Dad's face turned bright red instantly.
34:40He waved his hands quickly.
34:42It's still too early for that!
34:45I lived at the pharmacy in town, doing odd jobs.
34:48I tried my best to learn everything about medicine.
34:51I only went home to the ranch once every two weeks.
34:54I brought the sandbags Dad gave me to the pharmacy.
34:57No matter how busy I was, I found time to train.
35:01Mom hated leaving me alone in town.
35:03She held my hand and wouldn't let go when she dropped me off.
35:07With red eyes, she told me to eat well and not overwork.
35:09Come home if anyone treats you badly, she said.
35:13I waved and smiled to comfort her.
35:16Don't worry, Mom.
35:17I can take care of myself.
35:19When I learn everything, I'll fix Dad's leg.
35:23Mom laughed through her tears and wiped them away.
35:26All right, I'll be waiting.
35:28I'll make your favorite snacks for when you come home.
35:31The doctor at the pharmacy was an old friend of the butler's.
35:34He was kind to patients, but very strict with apprentices.
35:37If we forgot a drug's name, he yelled.
35:39If we missed a detail in a patient's record, he yelled.
35:43If we took blood pressure incorrectly, he yelled.
35:46Sometimes he made us copy drug names as punishment for being slow.
35:49The other students felt mistreated.
35:52Before long, they all went home crying and never came back.
35:56But I wasn't afraid.
35:57What was this little bit of hardship?
35:59Compared to Grandmother's beatings or Jason's violence, this was nothing.
36:03I was already used to it.
36:05Besides, I knew the doctor wanted me to grow fast.
36:08Just like Dad wanted me to be strong.
36:11The doctor was strict, but he never treated us poorly.
36:14He made plenty of food for us every day.
36:16Sometimes he even gave us nutrient powder.
36:18I might not be the smartest, but I know who was truly kind.
36:22I kept training the way Dad taught me.
36:24I ran 5 kilometers with weights every morning and night.
36:27I grew stronger, and my movements became faster.
36:30The doctor started teaching me massage techniques.
36:33At first, I practiced on him.
36:34Slowly, I began helping the elderly patients ease their pain.
36:38The doctor worked so hard with his patients in medicine.
36:41I massaged him to help him relax.
36:43He started smiling at me more.
36:44He even taught me about heat and cold therapy.
36:47He said these skills would really help my dad.
36:50When I went home every two weeks, the first thing I did was massage Dad's leg.
36:54I rubbed the stiff muscles from his knee to his ankle.
36:58Then I used the heat therapy the doctor taught me.
37:01At first, Dad refused.
37:03He thought it was awkward for a man to have his legs rubbed.
37:06I had to beg him for a long time before he finally agreed.
37:09After the massage, he stood up and took a few steps.
37:12His eyes lit up and turned a bit red.
37:14Stella is so smart.
37:17My leg feels much better now.
37:19Mom saw this and asked me to teach her, too.
37:23When you're away, I can do it for him.
37:25He worked so hard on the ranch and in the mountains.
37:28I taught them both step by step.
37:30I laughed and said,
37:32When I'm not here, you two can massage each other.
37:35That way, you'll both feel better.
37:36Both their faces turned bright red instantly.
37:39They glanced at each other and quickly looked down.
37:42Mom gave me a little pinch for talking nonsense.
37:44They are so strange.
37:46What is there to be embarrassed about?
37:47I studied in the city for five years.
37:49My medical knowledge and physical strength grew fast.
37:53I went from a skinny little girl to a strong, healthy teenager.
37:57The fear in my eyes was gone, replaced by confidence.
38:01During this time, Mom and Dad never had another child.
38:05Rumors started spreading around the ranch.
38:07Most of them came from the Hudsons.
38:09They claimed Dad couldn't have children.
38:11It must be Rick's fault.
38:13He's disabled.
38:14He probably doesn't even have the strength to father a child.
38:16Maybe that's why his first first wife fought with him before she died.
38:20I overheard some workers gossiping when I returned home.
38:22I clenched my fists, ready to fight them.
38:25But Mom grabbed my hand and stepped forward.
38:27She raised her voice so everyone could hear.
38:29It's my fault!
38:30I was abused at the Hudsons and it ruined my health!
38:33It has nothing to do with my husband, Rick!
38:35Stop your lies!
38:37Dad was healthy, but Mom was right.
38:39Years of hunger, heavy labor, and beatings had left her scarred.
38:43She had been taking medicine for five years, but nothing happened.
38:47Mom was anxious and often sat by the creek staring into space.
38:51Sometimes I caught her wiping away tears.
38:54Dad was always there to comfort her.
38:56Raising Stella is enough.
38:58She's smart and capable.
39:01She's worth more than ten sons.
39:04With her around, we have nothing to worry about.
39:13But right then, my biological father, Jason, suddenly returned.
39:17I was at the pharmacy when I saw him.
39:20It was Jason, dressed like a gentleman.
39:22He wore a sharp suit and slicked back hair.
39:25A rich, delicate young woman was by his side.
39:28They looked very close, almost too sweet.
39:31He held her arm with such careful grace.
39:33It was like he was afraid she might break.
39:36I stood there in total shock.
39:39It took me a while to believe my eyes.
39:41Many years had changed me completely.
39:43I wasn't that skinny, dark girl from the ranch anymore.
39:47He didn't recognize me at all.
39:49But I could never forget his face.
39:51No fancy clothes could hide his selfish eyes.
39:54He was still a coward deep down.
39:56Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
39:59How could he be alive and living so well?
40:01I quietly asked the doctor's assistant.
40:04He told me Jason and the woman were married.
40:06They were here to treat infertility.
40:09She was a lady from a wealthy family.
40:11She couldn't get pregnant, no matter what.
40:13They traveled a long way to find our doctor.
40:16As they walked out, Jason held her hand.
40:18He whispered sweet, comforting words to her.
40:21He looked so humble and devoted.
40:24It was a look I had never seen before.
40:26When my mom couldn't give him a son,
40:28he was a completely different monster.
40:31He only knew how to beat and shame her.
40:33He took all his anger out on her life.
40:36I was closing the pharmacy that night.
40:39Jason's face was stuck in my head.
40:41I couldn't focus at all.
40:42I almost put the medicine in the wrong spot.
40:45The doctor gave me a harsh scolding.
40:47Your skill is slipping, slipping, Stella.
40:49Do you still want to fix your dad's leg?
40:51I kept my head down and whispered,
40:53Doctor, I'm just confused.
40:56If a man was supposed to die in war,
40:59but suddenly shows up alive, what happens?
41:01The doctor froze for a second.
41:03Then he let out a cold laugh.
41:05What happens?
41:06He's a deserter.
41:09Running away from battle is a huge crime.
41:12They go to jail or even face death.
41:15My heart skipped a beat.
41:17Jason was a deserter.
41:19I asked the doctor for some time off.
41:21I had to tell my parents the truth.
41:23The doctor saw the look in my eyes.
41:25He knew something was wrong and said yes.
41:28Back at the ranch, I told them everything.
41:31I told them about seeing Jason at the shop
41:33and the fact that he was a coward on the run.
41:36Dad looked at Mom with worry in his eyes,
41:39but Mom's face remained cold and calm.
41:42She just let out a soft sigh.
41:43The Hudsons have nothing to do with us.
41:47Stella, let it go.
41:48We just need to live our own lives.
41:50Dad was so happy she had moved on.
41:52He gripped her hand tight and nodded.
41:55Exactly.
41:56They mean nothing to us.
41:58Don't worry, Stella.
41:59As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you.
42:02We decided to leave the past behind.
42:04We were ready to start our new life.
42:07I had a few days off and stayed at the ranch.
42:10I helped Mom with chores and massaged Dad's leg.
42:13But that night, Jason sneaked to our door.
42:16He knocked on the back door under the moonlight.
42:19He held a paper bag with a smug, greedy smile.
42:23Dad opened the door and his face went dark.
42:25He tried to push him away instantly.
42:29What are you doing here?
42:30Get out!
42:31But Jason forced his way inside anyway.
42:34He dumped a stack of cash from the bag.
42:36Don't be so cold, Rick.
42:38Here's $2,000.
42:40I'm paying you back.
42:42Just let her bear me a son for a few years.
42:45Then I'll leave you two alone forever.
42:47We all stared at him in total shock.
42:49I wondered if this man had lost his mind.
42:51But he acted like he was doing us a favor.
42:53My new wife is broken.
42:55She can't have kids.
42:56I need a woman to give me a son.
42:59Then he looked at Dad with a cruel smirk.
43:02Besides, Rick, everyone knows you're a dud.
43:05When she has the baby, just say it's yours.
43:08Then people will stop calling you a useless cripple.
43:12He had it all figured out in his sick head.
43:14He really thought we were all fools.
43:16Jason wanted a son of his own blood.
43:19But he didn't dare tell his rich wife.
43:21So he planned to use my mom in secret.
43:23The plan was to hide the child at our ranch.
43:26Then, he would steal the boy back years later.
43:29He already had it all calculated.
43:31But would his current wife ever agree?
43:33He probably had some cruel trick ready.
43:36A way to force her to accept the child.
43:39Living off a wealthy family changed him.
43:41He had become arrogant and delusional.
43:43He didn't even hide his evil plot anymore.
43:46My wife's family has no other heirs.
43:49They took me in because they need a man.
43:51After she left, that fortune belongs to me.
43:54Everything will go to me and my son.
43:56He looked at my mom with fake kindness.
43:59But his voice was still full of cold pride.
44:02This is a great deal for you.
44:03I'll make sure our son takes care of you.
44:06A little of my wealth will keep you rich.
44:08Finally, his eyes landed on me.
44:10He studied me for a long time.
44:12He barely recognized the girl I had become.
44:15His face twisted into a look of disdain.
44:18I didn't expect you to grow up so fast.
44:20I'll find a good future for you, too.
44:23You're even prettier than your mother.
44:25Rich men in the city love girls like you.
44:28I'll set you up as a wealthy man's mistress.
44:31You'll live a life of luxury you can't imagine.
44:35I couldn't believe my own ears.
44:38Jason wanted to sell me as a mistress.
44:40How could a father treat his own daughter like this,
44:43before he could even finish his sentence?
44:45Rick was already shaking with pure rage.
44:48He grabbed the wooden club by the door.
44:51He swung it at Jason with all his might.
44:54I'll kill you, you heartless beast!
44:57Keep dreaming!
44:59Stella will never be a mistress!
45:02Dad was consumed by a burning hatred.
45:05He struck Jason again and again.
45:07Jason screamed and scrambled to the door.
45:10Jason was howling in pain from the beating.
45:12But he still wouldn't shut up.
45:14Think about it.
45:15It's a guaranteed profit.
45:17Don't be so stubborn and stupid.
45:20I don't even want that old woman anymore.
45:22I just want to use her to get a son.
45:25The life is still yours, and I'll pay extra.
45:29His disgusting words made Dad hit even harder.
45:32The heavy club almost snapped in half.
45:35Suddenly, Mom rushed out from the room.
45:37Her eyes were blood red with fury.
45:39She looked like she had gone completely mad.
45:42She lunged forward and tackled Jason.
45:44She pinned him down and hammered his chest.
45:46She sobbed and cursed him with every strike.
45:49I am Rick's wife now! Stay away from me!
45:52You won't bully us ever again!
45:54This was the second time Mom fought back.
45:57The first time she fought to save him.
45:59The second time, she fought for herself.
46:02Dad stood by and watched her.
46:04He didn't stop her, but his eyes were full of pain.
46:08When she finally grew tired, he pulled her up.
46:10He held her tight and patted her back.
46:13Mom sobbed loudly against his chest.
46:15She let out years of bitterness and hate.
46:18Jason scrambled away, bruised and bloody.
46:21He looked back and shouted a threat.
46:24You just wait.
46:26This isn't over.
46:27We ignored him and held each other tight.
46:30We felt the warmth of our real family.
46:32Mom cried for a long time that night.
46:35She cried for every beating and insult at the Hudson's.
46:38Dad and I stayed by her side.
46:40Finally, she fell asleep in Dad's arms.
46:43Dad gently touched my head.
46:45His eyes were very serious.
46:47Stella, remember this forever.
46:51Never let yourself be someone's mistress.
46:54Rich houses look grand, but they hide deep pain.
46:57I want you to rely on yourself and live with pride.
47:01I nodded hard, tears falling down.
47:05I know, Dad.
47:06I won't let you down.
47:08I'll study medicine and train hard.
47:10I will protect you both and build our own life.
47:14I soon returned to the city pharmacy.
47:17Everything seemed to go back to normal.
47:19Until one day, I went out to deliver medicine.
47:22Two strangers suddenly blocked my path.
47:24They were strong and looked dangerous.
47:27Before I could scream, they grabbed me.
47:29They forced me into a sack.
47:30I was being kidnapped in broad daylight.
47:33When I finally woke up, I was tied to a chair in a cold warehouse.
47:38Jason and his wife Lillian stared at me.
47:41Jason wore a fake, kissing-up smile.
47:44Lillian, don't be mad.
47:47I'll use her life to force her mother to bear our child.
47:55Then we'll kick them both into the street.
47:58Lillian giggled behind her hand.
48:00She looked delicate, but her eyes were cruel.
48:02She's your daughter.
48:04Don't just throw her away.
48:06Sell her to a butcher later for some cash.
48:09My mouth was gagged, so I just glared.
48:12I cursed them a thousand times in my head.
48:14These two monsters were truly insane.
48:17Lillian left the warehouse with a smirk.
48:20Jason stayed behind and untied my gag.
48:22He snatched the hair clip from my head.
48:25He stuffed it into an envelope for blackmail.
48:27As long as I have you, your mom will obey.
48:31Once I have my son, you're useless.
48:34I'll leave you both to rot in the dirt.
48:36You bastard!
48:38Keep dreaming!
48:38My mom won't listen to a coward like you, and my dad will come and save me!
48:43Jason's face turned purple with his fury.
48:45He slapped me so hard I hit the ground.
48:48Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
48:50You ungrateful brat!
48:52I ignored the pain and looked up at him.
48:55Heh.
48:56Don't be so sure it's Lillian's fault.
48:59Maybe you're the one who was broken.
49:03I remembered what the doctor once said.
49:05Jason had refused to be tested at the clinic.
49:08He claimed he already had a child.
49:10But the doctor had laughed behind his back.
49:13A life of waste and sin ruins a man.
49:16He's too ignorant to see the truth.
49:18I knew Jason's body was already failing.
49:21He was living a lie this whole time.
49:23A monster like him deserved nothing.
49:26He deserved to have his bloodline end here.
49:28I stared at him in the eyes and laughed.
49:31The terror on his face was beautiful.
49:35Jason was stung by the truth and flew into a rage.
49:38He struck me again with a heavy blow.
49:41My body trembled with pain, but I didn't make a sound.
49:44He wasn't afraid of Lillian hearing him.
49:46In fact, the harder he hit me, the better.
49:50Cruelty toward me was his way of proving a point.
49:52He wanted her to believe he had no feelings for me, and that he had long forgotten about
49:57my mother.
49:58They dragged me along for three agonizing days.
50:02I was given almost no food or water.
50:05When I was thirsty, I licked rainwater from the roof.
50:08My limbs grew numb from being bound so tight, and new bruises covered my face every single
50:14day.
50:16By the third day, I was drifting in and out of sleep.
50:20In my days, I heard a voice that made my heart leap.
50:23It was full of worry and pure, raw anger.
50:27Dad.
50:30Dad's voice thundered outside the warehouse.
50:33Jason, give me back my daughter.
50:35Jason's face turned pale the moment he heard it, but he tried to act tough and shouted back,
50:41Rick, you cripple!
50:44You dare to follow us?
50:46You don't know your place!
50:49Guards!
50:50Kill him!
50:51The warehouse was filled with the sounds of chaos, shouts from the guards, and Dad's
50:56fierce roars.
50:57The fighting didn't last long at all.
50:59The silence was broken by Jason's terrified begging.
51:03Rick, have mercy!
51:05I was wrong!
51:07I'll give your daughter back.
51:08Just stop hitting me!
51:10I squeezed my eyes shut, tears finally falling.
51:13My dad, the man everyone called, a cripple.
51:16He had fought through the guards to save me.
51:19I knew then I was finally safe.
51:21The warehouse door was kicked open with a bang.
51:24Dad rushed in like a madman.
51:26He saw me tied up, covered in bruises and starving.
51:29His eyes turned red with tears and rage.
51:32He ran to me and untied the ropes with trembling hands.
51:35He pulled me into a tight, protective embrace.
51:38Still, I'm so sorry.
51:40Dad came too late.
51:42I let you suffer so much.
51:44His voice was shaking and so were his hands.
51:47Resting against his chest, I finally broke down.
51:49All the fear and pain from the last three days exploded.
51:54Meanwhile, Lillian was screaming in the corner.
51:56Her face was pale, but she still tried to act powerful.
51:59You bastard!
52:01Do you know who I am?
52:03My father is a wealthy merchant.
52:05You're dead!
52:08Dad looked at her with eyes as cold as ice.
52:10The sheer hatred in his gaze silenced her instantly.
52:14You are harboring a deserter and a fugitive.
52:18Think about whether the army will let you go.
52:22Lillian's face turned white as a sheet.
52:24She looked at Jason in total disbelief.
52:28A deserter?
52:30Jason, is he telling the truth?
52:33You told me you were honorably discharged!
52:36It turned out she knew absolutely nothing.
52:39She thought she had found a loyal, reliable husband.
52:42She had no idea she was sleeping next to a coward.
52:45How could someone so rich be so incredibly blind?
52:49She never once questioned Jason's dark past.
52:52She was just a foolish pawn in his game.
52:55I leaned against Dad.
52:56A weak smile on my lips.
52:58I looked straight at Lillian's trembling eyes.
53:02Jason had a plan for you all along.
53:04He's waiting for you to die so he can take your wealth.
53:11He only wanted my mom to bear him a son.
53:15A son to inherit your family's money.
53:19And you're still protecting him?
53:21You're such a fool.
53:24Lillian looked at Jason, her world crumbling down.
53:27Lillian trembled with rage as the truth hit her.
53:30She pointed at Jason, her voice trapped in her throat.
53:33Her vision went black, and she nearly collapsed.
53:36Before long, the military police arrived.
53:40We watched as they shackled Jason.
53:42Lillian was also taken away for investigation.
53:45Harboring a deserter is a severe crime.
53:48Dad held me tight, his eyes full of lingering fear.
53:52My precious daughter will never be hurt again.
53:55Later, Mom told me what had happened.
53:57When I didn't come home for two days, Dad went wild.
54:01He searched every corner until he got that envelope.
54:04He didn't hesitate for a second.
54:06He charged straight toward Jason's warehouse.
54:09Dad's old leg injury was acting up.
54:11Every step was agonizing, and he fell twice.
54:14He didn't care about the pain or the blood.
54:16His only thought was my safety.
54:19Because of his bravery, Jason was behind bars.
54:22And the entire Hudson family was dragged down, too.
54:26The Hudsons had known Jason was alive all along.
54:29For years, Jason had been sending them secret cash.
54:33Now they screamed that they were innocent.
54:35They claimed they knew nothing about his desertion.
54:38They turned on Jason, cursing him like demons.
54:42You monster!
54:45You've destroyed us all!
54:48Jason didn't back down.
54:50He fought back just as hard.
54:51You didn't say you were innocent when you took my money!
54:54Now that we're caught, you want to blame me?
54:57Keep dreaming!
54:58We're all going down together!
55:00The whole family pointed fingers and barked like mad dogs.
55:04It was a pathetic, ridiculous sight.
55:06They finally got the ending they deserved.
55:09Lillian did not escape her fate, either.
55:12For harboring a deserter, her family assets were seized.
55:15Her life was utterly destroyed by Jason's lies.
55:21But I had no time to worry about their downfall.
55:23My only concern was my father's leg.
55:26To save me, he had run for three days and nights.
55:30His old injury had flared up completely.
55:32The pain was so sharp he couldn't even stand.
55:35He could only lie bedridden in a state of agony.
55:38I brought him directly to the pharmacy.
55:40I became his personal nurse every single day.
55:43I gave him massages and applied herbal ointments.
55:47I followed the doctor's methods to heal his nerves.
55:50The head doctor watched me and praised my progress.
55:54Stella, you are becoming truly skilled.
56:01Cold sweat often poured down dad's forehead from the pain.
56:05But whenever he looked at me, he always smiled.
56:08His eyes were filled with comfort and immense pride.
56:12Our Stella has grown up so well.
56:19You truly are your father's greatest pride.
56:22In this small pharmacy, I finally saw the light.
56:27After a month of treatment, dad finally improved.
56:30He could slowly get out of bed and walk.
56:32Though he still limped, he was much more agile.
56:35The rainy days no longer kept him awake with pain.
56:39Six months later, Jason was sentenced to death.
56:42On the day of his execution, he looked like a ghost.
56:46Arrogance and greed vanished from his eyes.
56:49He finally paid for everything he owed us.
56:51This was the karma he truly deserved.
56:54Even then, some meddling elders in the village spoke up.
56:57They said I was his daughter and should bury him.
57:01Dad stood before the entire village and roared.
57:03Stella is my daughter!
57:06Rick's daughter!
57:09She has nothing to do with that bastard Jason!
57:12He glared at the gossiping crowd with fierce eyes.
57:15Jason was a deserter and a monster!
57:19I hear to his family!
57:20Are you connected to him?
57:22Should I call the army?
57:23The villagers shut their mouths in an instant.
57:26No one dared to mention Jason's name ever again.
57:29They didn't want to end up like the Hudsons or Lillian.
57:33Under my care, Dad's leg was almost fully healed.
57:37Unless you looked closely, the limp was invisible.
57:40He could hunt and work the ranch like a normal man.
57:43Now, Dad was the happiest man alive.
57:46He walked with a new spring in his step.
57:49Because after all the years of suffering and waiting,
57:52Mom was finally pregnant.
57:54Our true family was finally growing.
57:57The shadows of the past were gone forever.
58:00We will never, ever be apart.
58:02We will never, ever be apart.
58:02We will never, ever be apart.
58:03We will never, ever be apart.
