02:14okay fine but don't embarrass me remember your aunt Nancy
02:33it's magnificent my little girl is marrying into a whole of their world I hear she has no family attending
02:43the wedding that's so sucks
02:44they say she comes from poor's she's probably some country here who somehow
02:50clawed her way into the Anderson family
02:56What are you talking about who else the bride of course
03:03You can tell by her posture alone that she comes from broke trash but she acts like she's a goddamn
03:08princess
03:09Yeah, even her mother didn't show up either Ashley is ashamed or mom abandoned her
03:17Either way, it's alone plus shit
03:23None of what you're saying is true
03:26Ashley is kind and thoughtful and she may have a humble background but she's rich in character
03:33Who are you anyway?
03:36You know usually the janitors don't show up until after the wedding
03:41Look at her clothes
03:43My socks cost more than all the clothes set
03:48Wait, wait, don't tell me she's related to the bride that would be
03:53Yikes
03:54As a matter of fact
03:57Yes, I'm here for Ashley
03:59Ha I knew it
04:04I almost feel sorry for Ashley
04:07She worked so hard to hide people like you from us
04:12Little princess must be mortified you're here
04:18Mortified?
04:20What am I doing to embarrass her?
04:23And what would you know about my bank account?
04:26Oh my god lady, do I really have to spell it out for you?
04:30That sad little outfit of yours wouldn't even hit 50 bucks
04:33What the hell is going on in here?
04:37You!
04:39What the hell is going on in here?
04:42You!
04:43You just standing there get back to work setting tables or whatever it is that you people do
04:50I'll be having a word with your manager about hiring better staff
04:54Look at you!
04:55Filthy!
04:56Ma'am I'm not part of the staff
04:59Please you don't expect me to believe that you're on my list
05:03Lucy actually yes
05:04She's here to support Miss Ashley apparently
05:07And with you Lucy it doesn't look like she belongs here
05:13Well someone's obviously mistaken because I went through the guest list myself and Ashley never mentioned somebody like her
05:23Well maybe you missed it
05:25I don't think so
05:28Who are you really?
05:30I think you should leave before I call security
05:34I'm not leaving
05:36I'm here to see Ashley
05:39But Ashley didn't put you on the list did she?
05:43Or are you here hoping for a handout?
05:46I mean these gifts of the bride and groom they're not for guests
05:55All I wanted was to be here for Ashley
05:58Fine
05:58If you want to continue with this madness
06:01Then you just prove this on yourself haven't you?
06:10Lucy maybe just let it go
06:12It's your son's big day
06:13You shouldn't be getting your hands dirty
06:15No way
06:17That lady deserved it
06:18Somebody had to teach her a lesson
06:21I'm not here to cause trouble
06:24I'm just here for the ceremony and to bring some gifts for the bride
06:29Really?
06:31Let's see what delightful little treasures that you've dragged in here
06:39Incredible
06:42Preserves
07:05Ashley's mother is vacationing in Switzerland
07:08And although my daughter-in-law's family may not be at our level
07:13They are very respectable
07:15And what the hell are you?
07:19Did she really say that?
07:21Of course
07:22Did you really think you could come waltzing in here and ruin my son's wedding?
07:29You're not the first freeloading fraud that I've encountered
07:36Don't worry everyone
07:38This old bag lady
07:39She won't be troubling us much longer
07:42Yeah
07:43Yeah kick her ass out
07:44I'm sick of her from the little face
07:53Why are you crazy?
07:56Are you gonna murder me in public?
07:58Why not?
07:59Who'd even notice if you were gone?
08:03Mother?
08:06Mother?
08:11Mother
08:14Ashley, do you know this woman?
08:17So why wasn't she on the guest list?
08:19That's my, uh, distant relative
08:24Aunt Nancy, um, she dropped by last minute
08:27Yes, we met her at the entrance
08:31I'm
08:33I'm her Aunt Nancy
08:37Your mother's in Switzerland, that's right, isn't it?
08:41Yes, of course
08:43Lying's not going to get you very far in my world
08:46Your niece, my daughter-in-law, isn't going to follow your tall tales
08:55Okay, Auntie?
09:07I
09:08I never wanted any of this
09:11I just wanted to see Ashley happy
09:15Happy with you here
09:20Wow
09:26Maybe this will cheer everybody up
09:45Mother, she, she really didn't mean to cause a fuss
09:47She just really wanted to see me get married
09:49You're defending this marmalade woman?
09:55You know, I call you my daughter-in-law
09:58But it's not official yet
10:01Do you still want to marry my son?
10:04Yes, of course, Mother
10:06Good
10:07Then I'll give you one more chance
10:09Sure, Mother, I'll, I'll, I'll probably now
10:12Aunt Nancy, I'm sorry, but you have to
10:15Oh no, no, no dear, that's not enough
10:19Go over and slap her in her ugly peasant face
10:25It's that, or you can forget about joining our family
10:29Come on Ashley, everything's ready
10:31Stop wasting time
10:33Give her a quick slap and let's move on
10:36Ashley
10:38Look at me
10:39Look at me
10:41What has happened to you?
10:44Look
10:46Look at who I am
10:49Shut up, that's enough
10:51I know who you are
10:54Sorry, Mom
10:56This is my future
10:57You wanted me to have everything
11:00So, you just have to forgive me
11:14Ten years ago, a Cross River Bridge project I oversaw collapsed, leaving dozens dead
11:18My parents didn't want any tie with a murderer, so they left me
11:22And the victims' families drenched me in gasoline, roaring that they shall perish together with me
11:26I spent the next ten years in prison
11:28After my release, I changed my name, moved to a small town, and worked as a barista in a quiet
11:33cafe
11:34Life seemed to go back to peace
11:36Just when I thought my days would keep going on like a tranquil river, my ex-husband, Julian Reed, found
11:41me
11:41His construction company had long gone public
11:43Everyone could tell he stood at the very peak of success, with a bright future stretching out before him
11:48Then reporters swarmed up to me, cameras thrust inches from my face
11:52Miss Walker, Mr. Reed has been engaged for ten years, but is still unmarried
11:56What do you think about him waiting for you all these years?
11:58I let out a bitter laugh
12:00No one knew that ten years ago, it was this Mr. Reed who allowed his mistress to slip into the
12:04construction team and skim kickbacks
12:06And it was also Julian Reed who shoved me forward as the scapegoat after the disaster, while he and his
12:10mistress went out clean
12:40Flashing lights lit up Julian's face but not his expressions
12:41Instantly, and the next second they swarmed toward me
12:44So you've been here all along Miss Walker, once celebrated worldwide for your designs, and now stuck behind a cafe
12:48counter, how does that feel?
12:49We hear your ex-husband has waited ten years for you, postponing his wedding again and again, what do you
12:53make of that?
12:53I ignored them, ignored their questions and microphones that nearly poked my face, and just focused on my work
12:58Still, I couldn't stop the tremble as I reached for the cups
13:01I knew Julian too well, there was no way he could do that for me
13:04I stayed on guard, the standoff dragged on until Julian stepped in front of me, he blocked the camera
13:09His expression was so stern
13:11This is our private matter, we're not accepting interviews
13:13We appreciate your understanding
13:15Then he turned to me, his gaze deep and complicated
13:18Irene, he paused, as if he had so much to say, and in the end, only said one thing
13:23Long time no see
13:24His voice seemed to come from the past, and my hand quivered beyond control
13:28Clatter
13:28A coffee cup hit the floor and shattered
13:30Flying shards cut into my skin
13:33Blood dripped from my fingertips
13:35Julian grabbed my hand instinctively
13:37Frowned, as if he cared
13:39Are you alright?
13:39I pulled away at once, and apologized to my boss in a rush
13:42Alan, I'm so sorry, I'll clean it up, just charge it to my pay
13:46Before Alan could even respond, a bright, cheerful voice came from the doorway
13:50Julian, what are you doing here?
13:55Julian, what are you doing here?
13:57You just left without a word, we're all worried
14:00I followed the voice and saw her walking in with a gentle smile
14:03She reached for Julian's hand naturally and pressed a soft kiss to his lips
14:07I remembered her too well
14:09It was Chloe Bennett, the woman who caused the accident ten years ago
14:12She had become Julian's fiancé
14:14And behind her, I actually saw my biological parents
14:18Who had disowned me like a stranger
14:20Chloe turned to me then
14:21Her gaze sweeping over me with a thin smile of contempt on her lips
14:24Well, isn't this our greatest architect, Irene?
14:28Long time no see
14:29Oh, by the way
14:31Your parents have made me their goddaughter
14:34I suppose that I should call you sister now
14:36I glanced past her
14:38And there stood my parents
14:39They had aged so much
14:41Their backs were hunched
14:42Their hair completely white
14:44A sharp, quiet ache spread through my chest
14:47I couldn't help but wonder how they'd feel
14:49If they ever found out their goddaughter
14:50Was the one who made me fall like this
14:52My father snorted coldly
14:54We only have one daughter
14:55And that is Chloe
14:56A murderer blinded by greed would only make me sick
15:00My mother clenched her jaw
15:02Julian, why would you even bother with trash like her?
15:06Just let her rot away
15:07Their words hit the cafe like a cold wind
15:09Everyone, including Alan, looked at me strangely
15:12I turned my face away, swallowing the pain
15:14Refusing to meet their eyes
15:16Julian let out a soft sigh
15:17Don't blame your parents
15:18That thing hit them too hard
15:20He gave a gold embossed business card to me
15:22I owe you far too much
15:23If you ever need anything
15:25Call me
15:29I didn't refuse Julian's card
15:30Or rather, I accepted it politely like I would for any customer
15:33But that's all
15:34I didn't believe he just came for me
15:36And I didn't expect to see him again
15:38Then, three days later
15:44Irene, I'm really sorry
15:45I didn't know who you were
15:47And people like you should never just stay in a small cafe
15:50I'll mark you down for full appendix this month
15:52And send your paycheck shortly
15:53And today's your last day
15:54He hung up before I could say anything
15:55I tried calling back
15:57But I'd been blocked
15:58At the same time
15:59A message popped up
16:00My salary arrived
16:01$4,500
16:02Alan had even added an extra thousand
16:04With a note
16:05Consider this my compensation
16:07My cafe is small
16:08Can't bear any trouble
16:09Please
16:10Spare me another visit
16:12My heart sank
16:13I knew who was really behind this
16:16Sure enough
16:17Julian's call came through
16:19Irene, I can't undo what happened back then
16:20I hope you understand
16:21But in every other way
16:22I'll make it up to you
16:24That cafe job was way too much for you
16:25So I took care of it
16:26And I bought you a villa in Portwell
16:28I'll send you the key
16:28And another thing is about Chloe
16:30She's still inexperienced
16:31And needs someone who knows the drawings
16:32Help her out
16:33I'll pay you $200,000 a month
16:34My fists clenched so hard
16:37They ached
16:37Why?
16:38Why could he so easily
16:39Shove me into the abyss
16:40Where loneliness and hatred
16:42Swallowed me alive?
16:43And why
16:43After all this happened
16:45Could he still carelessly shatter
16:47My peaceful life
16:48As if he's some superior savior?
16:49Why did he think he could arrange everything for me?
16:52Help Chloe?
16:53He just wanted me to be her shadow
16:55Her tool
16:55The thought of it made my stomach churn
16:57I pressed my lips together
16:59And said through gritted teeth
17:00Thanks for the offer Mr. Reed
17:02But I have my own life now
17:03Please don't come to me again
17:06Julian was silent for a long moment
17:09Irene, don't be difficult
17:10A genius like you
17:11Who only truly enjoys working as an architect
17:14I'm taking care of your life
17:15And letting you shine
17:16What else could you want?
17:18Don't push me, Irene
17:20I've got my ways
17:22And then he hung up
17:23A faint unease settled in my chest
17:27That very afternoon
17:28I found out exactly what he meant
17:30I needed to find another job as soon as possible
17:32But no matter where I went
17:34People only pretended to respect me
17:36I decided to go back home for a rest
17:38But at the door
17:39I found the landlady waiting
17:40She was a kind old lady
17:41When I first came here with no money
17:43She had waived a month's rent
17:44And always brought me her homemade treats
17:46Now, her eyes were red
17:48Standing at my doorstep
17:49Irene, you're back
17:51I'm so sorry
17:52But I can't rent the apartment to you anymore
17:56Please don't blame me
17:57I have no choice
17:58Some great man came to town
18:00He said if I let you stay
18:02My daughter, she... she...
18:03Her voice broke as tears ran down
18:05I didn't want to make things harder for her
18:07That night I packed my things
18:09And moved out
18:10This was Julian's compensation
18:11Destroying my life
18:13And then arrogantly offering compensation
18:16Ridiculous
18:18The day I moved out
18:19Julian showed up
18:20He lost weight in just a few days
18:22Dark shadows sat under his eyes
18:24Like he hadn't slept at all
18:25He came with a moving crew
18:27And directed them as if this was something he ought to do
18:29His manner was so natural
18:30That anyone who didn't know us
18:31Would consider him as a husband
18:33Picking up his wife and taking her home
18:35You've always been tense
18:36This helps you relax
18:39I took the glass in silence
18:40And had a small sip
18:41It was sweet
18:42So sweet it made my hands tremble
18:45So this must be a part of his
18:47Compensation
18:47It tasted like heaven
18:48But could drag me down to hell in the next second
18:50I set the glass down
18:52Mr. Reed
18:53What happened before is over
18:55If you really wanted to make up for it
18:57You shouldn't have shown up uninvited
18:59He froze for a moment
19:00A flicker of disappointment crossing his eyes
19:02Before he masked it
19:03Don't keep pushing it
19:04I know what you feel
19:05This is just the first step
19:07I'll soon find someone to claim the fall
19:10And clear your name
19:11I know you don't like Chloe
19:13I'll keep her out of sight
19:15For now
19:15Just rest
19:17His tone was gentle
19:18But the message was clear
19:19I wasn't being offered a choice
19:21He wanted control
19:23Absolute control
19:24And Chloe was never going to stay out of sight
19:26The very day I moved in
19:28Julian had barely arrived
19:29When she stormed in with a group of reporters
19:32Julian had barely arrived
19:33When she stormed in with a group of reporters
19:35Julian, I heard Miss Walker was here
19:37Why didn't you tell me?
19:38She was wrong, of course
19:39But everyone has to live on
19:41I hope Miss Walker has learned her lesson
19:43And will walk the right path from now on
19:45She pressed a card into my hand
19:47This is just a small gesture
19:49You're my senior
19:50And also my fiancé's ex-wife
19:52Please take it
19:53If life gets hard
19:54Just let us know
19:56She played her role perfectly
19:57By that afternoon
19:59The news had spread all over Portwell
20:00Disgraced engineer resurfaces after deadly collapse
20:03Billionaire X shows mercy
20:04Back among the elite
20:06Can the victims ever find peace?
20:07Suddenly
20:08Julian became the devoted tycoon
20:10And Chloe became the gracious fiancé
20:12And once again
20:13I was only the one who got torn apart by public outrage
20:15Whether on purpose or not
20:17Chloe leaked my address
20:18From then on
20:19Grieving families and angry crowds
20:20Gathered outside my home every day
20:24Three days later
20:25My parents came
20:26It was the first time in ten years
20:27That they had come to see me on their own
20:29When I saw them standing at the door
20:30The good old memories came back
20:32A spark of hope rose in my chest
20:34Mom! Dad!
20:36You're here!
20:37Come in!
20:37Have some water!
20:38I stepped aside to welcome them
20:39My father only snorted at me
20:41We wouldn't dare drink a murderer's water
20:45Irene, we can't forgive what you did back then
20:47But don't keep making the same mistake
20:49We're begging you
20:50Chloe truly loves Julian
20:51You're divorced now
20:52Stop clinging to him
20:53She's considerate
20:54She doesn't want to say it out loud
20:55So we will
20:56Leave Portwell
20:57If you insist
20:58Your father and I will find to make you leave
21:02Her voice was still gentle
21:03The same voice that once sang me to sleep
21:05Now every word felt like a blade
21:08Cutting into my heart
21:09Until my blood ran out
21:10I stared at them in disbelief
21:12Dad
21:13Mom
21:15Did you ever believe me?
21:17Not even for a second?
21:19What if I told you that everything I went through was a set up by Chloe Bennett
21:24You rascal!
21:25You dare smear Chloe's name!
21:27Julian had just arrived to drop something off and witnessed the scene
21:30He rushed over, flustered, clearly about to explain
21:33When his phone rang
21:34It was his assistant
21:35Mr. Reed
21:36Miss Bennett is drunk
21:38And she's getting an IV in the hospital to sober up
21:40The moment those words fell
21:42Panic flooded Julian's face
21:43My parents' expressions changed just as quickly
21:46No one looked at me again
21:47They turned, got into the car, and drove off without hesitation
21:51I watched their backs disappear and laughed
21:53I laughed until tears streamed down my face
21:55So this was it
21:57Whether it was threatening me or pretending to care
21:59Whether I was hurting or falling apart
22:01None of it mattered as much as a word from Chloe Bennett
22:03I thought that would be the end of it
22:05After all, the past ten years had taught me one thing
22:08I should never expect anything from my parents
22:11Or from Julian Reed
22:12I was wrong
22:13I didn't expect my parents' solution to come this fast
22:19One afternoon, I was out shopping for groceries
22:21When several victims' family members tracked me down
22:23They clubbed me unconscious with iron rods
22:25And dragged me away
22:26When I woke up, I was inside a sack
22:29Through a tear in the fabric, I could make out a riverbank
22:31The man in front kicked me hard in the stomach
22:34We didn't even go looking for you
22:35And you still dared to come back
22:38His words ignited the crowd
22:40Give me back my daughter!
22:41It's only 19 and just started college, you animal!
22:44You killed my mother!
22:45You'd pay for it!
22:47Fists and feet rained down on me
22:49I tried to explain, but my mouth was stuffed shut
22:52Only muffled sounds escaped my throat
22:53You owe us so many lives
22:54Even tearing you apart wouldn't be enough
22:57You'll get what you deserve today
22:59I heard the iron rod swing
23:01The pain exploded through me
23:0399 blows
23:04I passed out
23:05Then I got splashed awake
23:06Again and again
23:08I felt every bone break
23:09One by one
23:10At the end, as my consciousness faded
23:12They tied stones to me
23:13And threw me into the river
23:15The water was freezing
23:16It rushed in from all sides
23:18Crushing my lungs
23:19Stealing every breath
23:20I closed my eyes
23:21This was fine
23:23My life had been nothing but pain
23:25I was so tired
23:26If this was the end
23:27Then let it end
23:28Just as my awareness flipped away
23:30Strong arms caught hold of me
23:32And fresh air flooded my lungs
23:36Chloe told Irene's parents
23:37That several victims' families
23:39Wanted to confront her
23:39And they were kind of worried
23:41After all, she was their daughter
23:42Even though they were furious
23:44At her back then
23:44For her reckless greed
23:45Deep down
23:46They could not completely
23:47Wipe out their love
23:48And care for her
23:49Don't worry
23:50I've investigated
23:51They're decent people
23:52They won't hurt Irene
23:53Maybe after this
23:55She'll know how to lie low
23:56And protect herself
23:57Chloe promised confidently
23:58And assured them
23:59Reluctantly, Irene's parents
24:01Shared her whereabouts
24:02With the families
24:04Still, a heavy unease
24:06Coursed through their veins
24:07And finally settled
24:08Deep in their bones
24:09And today
24:09My heart keeps racing
24:11Irene hasn't been in touch
24:12For days
24:13Should we try to find her
24:14Maybe call the police
24:15Why bother?
24:16Calling the police for her
24:17Is just a waste
24:18No news is better
24:20Someone like her
24:21Her death shall do
24:22A good thing to the society
24:23Mrs. Walker frowned
24:25At her husband's words
24:25But said nothing
24:26The same unease
24:28Gnawed at Julian Reed
24:29For three days straight
24:30Chloe kept stopping him
24:31From seeing Irene
24:32Every time he insisted
24:34Chloe would show her tears
24:35I know it
24:36You're still hung up
24:36On your ex
24:38If you love her
24:40Then why are you
24:41Looking for me?
24:42Julian had no choice
24:43But to stay
24:44And calm her down
24:45But the anxiety
24:46Grew too strong
24:46Finally, one day
24:48He rushed to the villa
24:49When Chloe was away
24:50Not for anything else
24:51He just needed to know
24:52Irene was safe
24:53But when he arrived
24:54The villa was empty
24:55Only Irene's anxious parents
24:56Welcomed him
24:57The three exchanged
24:58A knowing glance
24:59And silently began
25:00Searching for her
25:05It must be Irene
25:06But when she opened the door
25:08It wasn't her daughter
25:09You are
25:11Seeing who was outside
25:13Mr. Walker and Julian
25:14Both came to a halt
25:15Mr. Walker was the first
25:16To react
25:17Officer
25:18Is Irene causing trouble again?
25:20If she hurts anyone again
25:22Just sentence her to death
25:23I don't have such a daughter
25:24Please calm down
25:25We're here to speak
25:27To Ms. Irene Walker's parents
25:28And ex-husband
25:29Evidence suggests
25:30That Ms. Irene is likely murdered
25:31The suspect has been apprehended
25:33And efforts are ongoing
25:34To recover her remains
25:35We're sorry for your loss
25:38Irene
25:40Julian stared at the officer
25:42In disbelief
25:42Tears streaming down his face
25:44He tried to step forward
25:46To confirm
25:46But his legs betrayed him
25:48In the end
25:48Two officers had to support him
25:50Our loved ones were all
25:51Killed by your daughter
25:52This is what is called justice
25:53You two gave us her whereabouts
25:55Isn't that what you wanted?
25:56Her parents even told us
25:57Exactly where she was
25:57They didn't stop us
25:58So why are you stopping us?
25:59You have your grievances
26:00But the law decides justice
26:02Private revenge is never allowed
26:03Murder is a crime
26:05Irene is your daughter
26:06How could you do this to her?
26:07How could you be this cruel
26:08And heartless?
26:10We didn't know it would end like this
26:12It was Chloe
26:13Chloe said these people
26:15Would only scare Irene a little
26:17So she would leave here
26:18She must have planned
26:19All of this from the start
26:20No wonder she stopped him back then
26:23Julian's face darkened with rage
26:24The walkers were stunned too
26:26Realizing Chloe's manipulations
26:29Just then
26:30Chloe Bennett walked in
26:31Calm and confident
26:32You're so worried about that murderer
26:34Weren't you the ones
26:35Who hated her the most
26:36And yet here you are
26:37Scared
26:37Good that she's gone right?
26:39Now I can be your daughter
26:40And Julian
26:41I'm your fiance
26:42You can only love me
26:43Someone like her
26:44Who killed so many people
26:46Ten years ago
26:46This is her karma
26:49Julian snapped
26:50Grabbing Chloe by the throat
26:53How can you do this?
26:54I did nothing wrong
26:56She was a murderer
26:57And now she still is
27:00Ten years ago
27:01Her sentence cut off abruptly
27:03Her face paled
27:04As if a memory
27:05Had suddenly taken her breath
27:06Julian laughed bitterly
27:07Through his anger
27:08I've woken from countless nightmares
27:10Regretting ever protecting
27:11Someone like you
27:12At the cost of hurting
27:13The one I loved most
27:14We both know I protected you
27:15Just because you're my teacher's child
27:17My teacher helped me
27:17Once
27:18So I sacrificed my own wife
27:19To shield you
27:20Other people maybe
27:21May be fooled
27:21But you
27:22The real Surmerer
27:23You know the truth
27:24Better than anyone
27:24His words dropped like a bomb
27:27Shattering the hearts
27:28Of everyone present
27:29The police were the first
27:31To react
27:31Stepping forward
27:32To stop Julian
27:33From tightening his grip
27:34On Chloe
27:34Julian
27:37You just said
27:39The murderer wasn't Irene
27:42We wronged her
27:44And we even took
27:46The real culprit
27:47As our daughter
27:48Julian lowered his gaze
27:50Silently confirming
27:51Mr. Walker staggered back
27:52And couldn't help
27:53Falling into a chair
27:54Mrs. Walker rushed forward
27:55Raising her hand
27:56And striking Julian
27:57Across the face
27:59The sharp sound echoed
28:00Julian's head turned
28:02But he stayed upright
28:03Silently taking the blow
28:05I'm sorry
28:08My daughter
28:10My daughter
28:11My Irene
28:13The victim's families
28:14Exchanged stunned glances
28:16Their voices shaky
28:16We
28:17We took revenge
28:18On the wrong one
28:19But all that answered them
28:21Were the anguished cries
28:23Of Irene's parents
28:24And an endless
28:25Suffocating silence
28:27I woke up on a soft bed
28:28I tried to sit up
28:30But a sharp pain
28:30Shot through my body
28:31Making my sweat break out
28:32Don't move
28:34Just lie down
28:35A gentle male voice
28:36Came from the doorway
28:38Thank goodness
28:39The doctor said
28:40You'd probably wake up
28:41In a few days
28:42And I've been making
28:43This porridge every day
28:44Just in case you'll
28:44Wake up hungry
28:45He carefully placed
28:46The porridge
28:47On the bedside table
28:48Then
28:48With practiced ease
28:49He adjusted the bed
28:50That's when I finally
28:51Got a good look at him
28:52Sharp brows
28:53Almond-shaped eyes
28:54And a perfectly placed
28:55Little mole by his nose
28:56For some reason
28:57He felt strangely familiar
28:59Because of that
29:00I couldn't let my guard
29:01Down around him
29:02When the porridge
29:02Reached my lips
29:03I instinctively took a sip
29:05It tasted exactly
29:06Like the porridge
29:07My grandmother used to make
29:08When I was a child
29:09I stared at him
29:10Shocked
29:10And finally managed to say
29:12Who
29:12Who are you?
29:16Dummy
29:17Only two of us
29:18And grandma
29:19Stifier-fen
29:19Would just really remember
29:20Suddenly
29:21Memories flooded back
29:22When I was a child
29:23There had been a boy
29:24Who often played with me
29:25Since my grandmother
29:26Was always busy
29:27He would come by
29:27From time to time
29:28To take care of me
29:29There was a period
29:30I struggled with
29:31My weak stomach
29:31And I could only eat porridge
29:32So that boy
29:33Learned from my grandma
29:34How to make my favorite
29:35Sweet potato porridge
29:36I hesitated
29:37Then whispered
29:38Heaven?
29:39His eyes cheered
29:41Finally
29:42My darling
29:43Then
29:44He began to explain everything
29:45After my parents
29:46Took me to the
29:47City years ago
29:47His biological parents
29:49Also found him
29:49His real identity
29:50Was the long lost heir
29:51Of the Sterling family
29:52The wealthiest family
29:54In the Northgate
29:54But he had never forgotten me
29:56And had been searching
29:56For me all along
29:57Seeing me become
29:58A renowned architect
29:59Brought him genuine happiness
30:00Yet
30:01Because I had married Julian
30:03He could only stay away
30:04Afraid to disturb my life
30:06As for the accident
30:07Ten years ago
30:08He told me
30:08He had never believed
30:09I was the one responsible
30:10He had quietly investigated
30:12And gathered evidence
30:13All these years
30:13But had found nothing
30:14Even until I was released
30:16Even though I saved you
30:17This time
30:18I still crossed your privacy
30:19And yes
30:21I've been following your movements
30:23For so many years
30:24I'm sorry
30:25I smiled and shook my head
30:30Thank you Evan
30:33When I saw Chloe
30:34Being led away
30:34By the police on television
30:35I thought I was in a dream
30:37Evan and I
30:38Exchanged a look
30:39We had spent ten years
30:40Struggling to uncover the truth
30:41Laid bare before the public
30:43Julian looked deathly pale
30:45There was no trace left
30:46Of his former confidence
30:47As for my parents
30:48Who had trusted outsiders
30:49Over their own daughter
30:50They were just so tired
30:52And aged
30:52My father was slumped
30:54In a chair
30:54My mother sat beside him
30:55Covering her face
30:56Her sobs breaking through
30:57Despite her efforts
30:58To suppress them
30:59Lying in bed
31:00Watching these scenes
31:00I felt none of the
31:02Imagined dissatisfaction
31:02Of justice served
31:03There was only desolation
31:05And a weariness
31:05I couldn't quite put into words
31:06Everything seemed to have settled
31:08My name was finally cleared
31:09The company I once worked for
31:11Released a public statement
31:12Restoring my reputation
31:13Online waves of apologies followed
31:15Countless people went to my empty grave
31:17Laying flowers in mourning
31:18After all of this
31:19Evan frowned slightly
31:20And asked one day
31:21What shall we do now?
31:22Show up in front of everyone again?
31:24As soon as he said it
31:24My parents' faces
31:25And also Julian's
31:26Flashed through my mind
31:28I could already imagine
31:29How desperately they would
31:30Try to make it up to me
31:31I shook my head
31:32And smiled at Evan
31:33Let this be my rebirth
31:34I decided to go along with it
31:36I stayed at the Sterling's house
31:37To recover
31:39For half a year
31:40Evan took meticulous care of me
31:42Though he was already busy
31:43Working as the powerful
31:44Head of the Sterling's
31:45He still looked after me
31:46The same way he did before
31:46Once I could eat normally again
31:48He insisted on cooking himself
31:50Constantly coming up
31:51With new nutritious meals for me
31:52Six months later
31:53Not only had I recovered
31:54But I had also gained
31:55Ten pounds
31:56Another spring arrived
31:57Jacaranda blossoms
31:58Were in full bloom
31:59Outside my window
32:00I stared at them
32:01For a long while
32:02Then turned to Evan
32:03Let's go out
32:04And see the world
32:05We left the city behind
32:06He arranged all his
32:08Company affairs
32:08Switched to remote work
32:09And accompanied me
32:10On a journey around the world
32:11We reached every corner
32:13Of the world
32:13Tracing all the romance
32:14That had ever been depicted
32:15In poems and literature
32:16I had never expected
32:18That after so many years apart
32:19Evan and I would share
32:21Such similar interests
32:22And views on life
32:23At last
32:23We arrived in England
32:24By the Thames
32:25Evan looked at me
32:26His eyes full of
32:27Nervous anticipation
32:28I knew what he was
32:29About to say
32:30Smiling softly
32:31I spoke first
32:32Evan
32:35I think I've
32:35Fallen in love with you
32:38His face flushed instantly
32:39Then he leaned forward
32:40And a kiss
32:41Gently landed on my lips
32:44In the end
32:44Evan and I opened
32:45A small bookstore
32:46In a town far from our past
32:47Life passed quietly
32:49Now and then
32:50News from back home
32:51Would drift across my screen
32:52Julian seemed to become
32:53A different person
32:54He overhauled his company
32:56With ruthless efficiency
32:57Cutting away every force
32:58Connected to Chloe
32:59And he never stopped
33:00Looking for me
33:01The crushing weight of guilt
33:02Made him obsessively believe
33:03That I was still alive
33:04Somewhere in the world
33:05On a snowy Christmas Eve
33:07Streets were blanketed
33:07In heavy snowfall
33:08I closed the shop early
33:09Planning to go home
33:10And cook a Christmas dinner
33:11With Evan
33:12But just as I reached
33:13The building downstairs
33:13I saw a familiar figure
33:15I saw a algunas
33:15The big time
33:16The был
