02:20as
02:20she marries rick grandmother will sell me away it was the day we were driven to rick's ranch
02:25the legendary monster was there chopping wood each swing of his axe was terrifying one of his legs was
02:32broken and propped on a wooden stool he looked strange and menacing a huge scar ran from his left eye
02:38down to his mouth it looked like his face was split in two i hid behind my mom trembling rick
02:45looked at us coldly you're forcing this woman on me for five hundred dollars now you want two thousand
02:51more he clearly didn't want my mom and he definitely didn't want a burden like me my son jason saved
02:57your
02:57life in that blizzard now that he's gone you should be grateful to take her this girl will be your
03:02daughter it's a blessing two thousand is a bargain for you two thousand dollars was a lot of money
03:08it could buy so many seeds i knew i wasn't worth that much rick glanced at grandmother but said nothing
03:14people said he was a man of few words but one look from him could scare anyone to death grandmother
03:20shoved my mom forward my mom's thin body almost hit the ground she pulled me along and knelt down
03:27instantly rick my child eats very little she can feed the cows and collect firewood
03:32please give us a way to live his eyes were sharp judging me call him dad
03:39i looked at rick and that terrifying scar
03:43dad rick froze his scar looked even more twisted grandmother kicked me hard in the back
03:49your father just died and you're already calling him dad just like your mother a traitor to the
03:56she kept kicking me over and over i lay on the ground motionless i didn't fight back or scream
04:02i knew if she had her fun she would eventually stop mom crawled over to save me but grandmother
04:09slapped her across the face this was life in the hudson house mom couldn't save me and she couldn't
04:15save herself suddenly rick threw a roll of cash at grandmother's feet and enough this girl belongs
04:23to my family now grandmother took the money and tried to leave but rick stopped her he demanded she
04:28sign the guardianship transfer agreement grandmother refused rick snatched the money back instantly
04:34no signature no money in the end she gave in for the cash mom and i officially became part of
04:40rick's
04:41family mom folded our two ragged coats by the cow shed she started working right away she wanted to
04:47be useful she thought hard work would keep us from being beaten rick's cabin was simple three rooms and
04:54a living area only one bedroom had a bed the other rooms were empty mom took me to the cow
05:00shed it was
05:01kept very clean mom found some wooden boards to make me a bed i will sleep here tonight don't be
05:07afraid
05:07baby i spread hay over the boards i'm not scared mom it was the same back at the hudson ranch
05:15when dad
05:16was home he said i was in the way he always kicked me out to the cow shed the hudson
05:20shed was much
05:21filthier there were rats and snakes everywhere freezing in winter and boiling in summer i survived all
05:28those years mom hugged me tightly it's my fault i couldn't keep your father's heart dad was always
05:37hard to mom i knew there was a secret behind all this mom why did dad want you to marry
05:42rick before
05:43dad never let her leave the ranch he never let her look at anyone and lie grandmother always cursed
05:50her for flirting with outsiders why the sudden rush to marry her off mom's bitter laugh was muffled in
05:56her chest her voice was barely a whisper because only rick had this much money and she didn't finish
06:03the sentence but i knew dad sent mom here to die dad decided to sell mom for money before he
06:10even left
06:11he wasn't coming back and he didn't want mom to survive he wanted to cut off her every means of
06:16escape even as a child i could see their plot it was so obvious that all the neighbors were talking
06:21about it a moment later rick came back he ignored us he carried a pile of wooden boards into the
06:27house
06:27the sound of his heavy hammering echoed hitting our hearts mom stood outside hesitant she wanted to ask
06:34where the flour and beef were so she could cook but she didn't dare after a while rick came out
06:38he saw
06:39us standing there like statues and frowned something wrong his voice was gruff i wanted to shrink back
06:45but it was just me and mom if i backed down she would be all alone i stood my ground
06:51and held her hand
06:52tight rick noticed my move and his brow twitched mom asked hesitantly i i wanted to ask about dinner
07:00please give me the ingredients so i can cook rick frowned again looking at us with confusion
07:08he pointed toward the kitchen in there and the key rick's frown deepened he walked over and kicked
07:17the door open then he looked back at us i felt like he was asking if we were stupid there
07:22was no
07:22lock so why would there be a key but things were different at the hudson ranch the hudson kitchen was
07:27always locked even the flour beef and butter were kept in locked cabinets mom cooked every meal but
07:33grandmother decided every gram of food she would put the exact amount on the counter and watch mom
07:38cook if a single grain of flour was dropped she would scream for hours she called mom a money
07:43waster and called a starving ghost all you do is eat you're useless she was afraid we would steal food
07:51mom led me into the kitchen seeing the flour beef and butter sitting there made her hesitate she
07:56looked at rick but he had already gone back outside mom didn't dare touch the food she was afraid that
08:01if
08:02she messed up rick would beat her just like grandmother did she was afraid of being accused of stealing
08:06mom made dinner with trembling hands she put the food on the table but we stood in the yard not
08:12daring
08:12to move rick came back carrying two large wooden crates he put them into the empty unused room he saw
08:21the food and then saw us standing outside his frown deepened he sat down at the table and called us
08:27inside in a gravelly voice while he ate he grunted not enough make more tomorrow he ate quickly finishing
08:34half and leaving the rest for us then he stood there chopping wood while watching us eat we didn't
08:40dare to eat much but i soon noticed something strange when i took big bites he focused on his work
08:46the moment i put down my fork he would stare at me and frown did he want us to eat
08:51more we finished the
08:52meal in fear waiting for the beatings to start but rick didn't yell or hit us he just put away
08:59his axe and spoke
09:02wash up and go to sleep it's been a long day after rick finished mom took me to wash up
09:08we hadn't used
09:09hot water in three years she kept muttering as she washed her face full of nerves i must get clean
09:15then he won't hate me the hot water hit my back and i felt warm instantly i never knew a
09:22bath could feel this
09:22good at the hudson ranch this was a heaven i couldn't even imagine after the bath i headed to the
09:28cow shed
09:28to sleep mom pulled me aside cover your ears no matter what you hear don't come out just pretend you're
09:35asleep
09:37okay i nodded hard i understood back then dad would come home drunk and beat me in the shed
09:43he called me a waste of money and a curse he blamed me for his gambling losses one time he
09:49almost killed
09:49me mom had to grab an axe to fight him off just to save me now looking at rick he
09:54was much stronger
09:55than dad he could probably kill me with one kick but he wasn't drunk and he wasn't angry he picked
10:00me up
10:01like a little chick and carried me into the empty room mom was already waiting there the room wasn't
10:06empty anymore there was a wide wooden bed inside it was piled with old but clean quilts and two sets
10:12of warm clothes rick set me down and turned to leave he went back to his own room and closed
10:17the door
10:17soon i heard him snoring i never thought i'd get to sleep inside a house again that night we slept
10:24restlessly but it was so warm i curled up in my quilt and whispered mom it's so warm i had
10:31never felt
10:31this warm in winter before my stomach was full and my heart felt safe for the first time i felt
10:37like i was
10:38actually alive mom stroked my hair baby you called him dad today call him that tomorrow and every day after
10:46i nodded
10:47okay rick was already much better to me than my real father after that mom slowly started making more food
10:54she was careful adding just a little more each time it took days for her to figure out rick's temper
11:00and
11:01appetite he ate a lot as much as mom and me combined but he never told us we couldn't eat
11:06in fact if we ate too little he would frown he went hunting in the mountains around the ranch
11:11he sold the big one in town but sometimes he brought back rabbits or pheasants for mom to stew
11:16he only ate half and left the rest for us in my whole life i had only tasted meat three
11:21times
11:21this was the fourth the meat tasted so good no wonder grandmother and my uncle loved it so much
11:26mom saw how happy i was and gave me extra i ate so much that i didn't notice the pain
11:31until midnight
11:32i was rolling on the bed in agony mom rubbed my stomach but nothing worked she gave me hot water
11:38but i threw it up instantly i felt like i was dying rick burst into the room he wrapped me
11:44in a quilt and
11:44hoisted me onto his shoulder he started running mom stumbled along behind him too scared to say a word
11:50he ran all the way to the town doctor's house he took the door open the doctor's family was
11:56terrified they started to complain but one look at rick's face silenced them the doctor checked me
12:01with a stethoscope he asked what i had eaten it's indigestion she ate too much she's been malnourished
12:08for years her body can't handle this much meat all at once i'll give her something to throw it up
12:13he poured something into my mouth i vomited everything out the room smelled awful the doctor's
12:19wife grumbled in the corner clearly she's never had anything good in her life she doesn't have
12:24the luck to enjoy good food rick looked up and gave her a death stare she scurried back into her
12:29room
12:30terrified i felt so ashamed i got sick just from eating meat maybe grandmother was right maybe i was
12:37just a starving ghost who didn't deserve anything rick carried me back home on the way he asked in a
12:43low
12:43voice have you never had meat before i thought he was judging me this was only my fourth time before
12:50i only ever had a bite at the hudson's they wouldn't even give us the leftover broth i truly had
12:56never had
12:57anything good he gave a low grunt you'll get used to it if you eat it more often i was
13:03sick and could
13:03only eat rice porridge for a few days rick bought some supplements from town those were expensive things
13:09i had never seen before i ate rice porridge with nutrient powder every meal it was even better than
13:16what my mom ate when i was born rick watched me eat every day once my face looked healthy again
13:21he stopped worrying he went to fix the doctor's fence then he dragged the doctor back to check my
13:27heartbeat only after the doctor said i was fine did he let him go he said he was going deep
13:32into the
13:32mountains to hunt he wanted to catch something big he would be gone for days and asked mom to pack
13:37some
13:38food mom mixed butter and brown sugar into the dough the flatbread smelled delicious as she baked it
13:43she also gave him thick insoles and a winter hat she had made rick took the food and looked at
13:50the
13:50gifts he looked at her and his eyes softened christmas is coming soon i'll buy you gifts once i sell
13:57the big
13:57game think about what you want mom and i stood at the ranch gate to see him off watching his
14:03limping
14:03figure i couldn't help but shout dad come back soon rick's body stiffened for a second he didn't look
14:10back but he waved his hand go inside it's cold out here we waited for five days but he didn't
14:16come back
14:19that night the weather turned even colder on the fifth day snow began to fall from the sky mom looked
14:26at the darkening sky then at me she pointed to the food in the kitchen she told me to take
14:33care of
14:33myself and fix something to eat if i got hungry i'm going to find him i'll be back soon she
14:41put on thick
14:41clothes strapped a dagger to herself and took a flashlight i was too worried to stay so i hit a
14:49small curved knife on myself i followed closely behind her where you go i go mom we're going to
14:55bring dad home in my heart rick was my father he was a thousand times better than my real father
15:02mom sighed if something really happened to him you wouldn't survive alone let's go together we held
15:09hands and walked deep into the mountains before we only gathered firewood at the edge of the woods
15:15people said there were wolves wild boars and man-eating black bears deep inside but as long
15:22as i was with mom and thinking that dad was waiting for us i wasn't scared at all heavy snow
15:29fell from
15:29the sky it was only afternoon but it was already completely dark the path through the woods was
15:36extremely hard to walk stepped deep and shallow sometimes falling into deep holes made of fallen leaves
15:43mom pulled me out and used a stick to check the path ahead before long heavy footsteps came from
15:51ahead mom pulled out her dagger and i gripped my curved knife tightly we stared ahead terrified and alert
15:59in that moment i thought even if i die i want to die with mom the footsteps grew closer a
16:07tall limping
16:08figure appeared he was dragging a huge black bear walking with difficulty with every step we both
16:15froze i let go of mom's hand and rushed over suddenly i hugged his leg tightly and looked up at
16:23him the black bear fell heavily to the ground what what are you doing here he looked at us completely
16:29shocked he reached out to pick me up but he was clearly exhausted trying several times but failing
16:36i held tightly to his thigh dad we came to take you home mom rushed over as well
16:43rick you've been gone for five days and it started snowing she didn't dare say she was worried
16:51back then when my biological father didn't come home for days mom went to look for him too
16:56i was afraid something happened to you but my father just slapped her across the face
17:02something happened what could happen to a man like me it's because you curse me all day that i'm so
17:07unlucky after that mom never dared to show her worry again he wasn't a good husband a good father or
17:15even
17:15a good person but rick just looked at mom and quirked his lips he tried to smile but maybe he
17:22hadn't
17:22smiled in years and forgot how he gave us an explanation this game was too big that's why i'm late
17:30he hoisted the black bear back up and told us to go home go back and start the fire i'll
17:37be home soon
17:38that bear was massive he must have dragged it for so long that he was completely exhausted
17:45yet he didn't demand our help he wanted to carry the burden himself mom saw how tired he was and
17:52hesitated she didn't want to disobey but she desperately wanted to help i ran forward and grabbed
17:59the bear's leg dad we're going back with you i didn't have much strength and the bear's fur felt
18:07terrifying it was so huge that it looked fierce even in death mom found her courage and ran over too
18:15we'll help you it took all our strength to drag the black bear home the snow on the ground was
18:22thick
18:22now the ranch was pitch black and the trail was empty we finally made it back the giant bear lay
18:30in
18:30the snow looking even more fierce but i wasn't afraid i circled it a few times and ran back to
18:37rick
18:37i leaned against his leg and looked up dad you're amazing you actually killed a black bear
18:44rick was too tired to move but he reached out he gently patted my head yeah his hand was large
18:53rough and heavy but when he touched me it was light and warm jason's hands were big too but they
19:01weren't rough he rarely did any real work jason wasn't even that strong when he got into trouble
19:08in town he would just curl up and take the hits but when he hit me and mom he was
19:14very strong his
19:15blows made my head ring every time in this place many men slap their wives and children i used to
19:23think
19:23all fathers and husbands were like that i didn't know someone could be different the next morning before
19:30dawn rick borrowed a tractor he woke us up to go to town and sell the bear he knew exactly
19:37where to
19:37go he stopped at a grand luxury house a butler came out and greeted him warmly they hugged and talked
19:45like
19:46old friends i realized then that dad could be so full of life he could actually talk this much mom
19:54and i
19:54stayed back staring at the fancy gates we didn't dare step forward dad pointed at us the butler looked
20:02us over and pulled out a small coin purse your child take this i was too scared to take it
20:10but he pressed
20:11it into my hand dad nodded so i finally accepted it thank you there was a silver coin inside i
20:20immediately put
20:20the coin in dad's hand dad this is for you the butler froze for a second then burst out laughing
20:30rick you have a sweet daughter you're a lucky man he handed me a big apple the coin is for
20:37your dad
20:39if this is for you keep it for yourself merry christmas to your family the butler bought the
20:46bear and invited dad for a drink won't you come in for a drink rick waved him off and refused
20:52no thank
20:53you we need to buy things for christmas the black bear sold for a lot of money dad took us
21:00to the
21:00streets first he bought a lot of candy he put them into three red socks i took one out and
21:08put it in my
21:08mouth carefully i peeled another one for mom mom didn't dare to eat and looked at dad she wanted to
21:17save it for me but dad stopped her too much sugar makes kids sick we don't want to see the
21:24doctor
21:24again mom remembered my stomach ache and didn't give me more so mom finally opened her mouth and ate the
21:32candy dad then took us to buy meat flour and butter he even bought spices for cooking finally we went
21:42to
21:43a clothing store for new coats mom waved her hands and said no our old coats are still good i
21:51said no too
21:53the old quilts and coats dad gave us were already warm and clean that was good enough for me i
22:00had
22:00never worn such nice clothes in my life but dad insisted on buying new ones i bought old ones because
22:09i was broke now we have money in the end we bought fabric and cotton instead of finished coats i
22:17can
22:18sew quickly they'll be ready before christmas she still didn't want to spend too much she picked out
22:24a plaid fabric for dad and held it up to him rick this pattern looks good on you it was
22:31the first time
22:32they were so close i think i saw dad's face turn red
22:38dad lifted me up and set me on his shoulders i could see so far away i laughed out loud
22:45it was my first
22:46time being up this high mom was worried and kept checking dad's leg she was afraid he would get too
22:53tired after a while dad bought me some toys he also bought hair clips and brooches for me and mom
23:01brother your wife and daughter are beautiful these brooches from the city suit them perfectly both dad
23:07and mom blushed at the same time on the way back we sat on the tractor i hugged my red
23:13socks tightly
23:14this was the happiest day of my life as we passed the hudson ranch i saw grandmother she was feeding
23:22the cows in the yard my uncle was lounging under the eaves in the sun he still had no job
23:27and no
23:28wife he just ate drank and wasted his life after selling us to rick he had that money now he
23:35worked
23:35even less he said he was preparing for a blind date grandmother always called us lazy but i never
23:41dared to say that my uncle was the laziest one i gripped my red socks and stared at them grandmother
23:47and my uncle noticed us their eyes widened in disbelief then their faces turned into a hateful scowl
23:54grandmother was cursing at us dad stopped the tractor he threw a stone and hit my uncle right on the
24:03head
24:03my uncle jumped up in pain dad threw another stone into grandmother's water basin they are my wife and
24:13daughter now if you insult them again you're dealing with me he looked terrifying even with a limp he stood
24:21like a mountain grandmother and my uncle were bullies who feared the strong they were furious but didn't
24:28dare say a word mom gripped my hand her eyes turned red as we drove away i looked back i
24:36could still see
24:37their hateful glares i suddenly felt brave i waved my red socks and made a face at them i had
24:45a real dad
24:46now they could never bully us again back home mom started decorating the tree and making apple pie dad spent
24:55his time fixing everything in the house he gathered wood and never stayed idle he brought back more
25:01pheasants and rabbits eat more meat then your stomach won't hurt anymore i wanted to follow him into the
25:08mountains but he refused kids stay home and play i tried to help mom but she sent me away too
25:15your dad
25:17wants you to play go on you haven't had a chance to be a kid yet at the hudson ranch
25:22i never had time to
25:23play now that i could i didn't know how i walked along the path with some candy i saved them
25:31carefully
25:32not wanting to eat them but then i ran into some mean kids from a nearby farm they swarmed me
25:38and
25:39grabbed my candy you're a brat born from that limp farmer your grandmother said so it must be true
25:44a bitch and her brat no wonder her husband just died and she remarried already i fought back with
25:51all my might that's not true grandmother kicked us out my mom isn't a bitch and i'm not a brat
25:59but i was too small i couldn't beat them my clothes were torn my candy was gone
26:06even my new hair clip was missing they laughed and ran off with my sweets i sat in the mud
26:13and cried
26:15grandmother and my uncle stood nearby watching with wicked smiles you deserve this we should have
26:23sold them to the town tavern back then i screamed at them i am not a brat you are the
26:29bad people you are
26:31evil i was so small back then my mom had already had a child the tavern would never pay that
26:37much for us
26:38they thought i was too young to understand but i had overheard their conversation they were the truly
26:44wicked ones they wanted to leave us at the ranch they wanted to watch rick beat us to death but
26:50they
26:50never expected this dad never hit us he never tortured us even for a second he treated us so well
26:58they couldn't stand it so they spread rumors behind our backs they framed us everywhere clearly they
27:06are the real monsters i lost the hair clip and candy dad bought me i was too ashamed to go
27:12home
27:12i lingered near the gate hesitating dad came down from the mountain he saw me covered in mud and blood
27:19he dropped his pheasants in shock i had never seen him so angry who did this i trembled in fear
27:26i'm sorry i'm so sorry he panicked trying to wipe the mud off my face tell dad
27:35who hit you his hands were rough but they calmed my racing heart i stuttered through the whole story
27:42the more i spoke the darker his face became he took me back and left me with mom then he
27:49grabbed his axe
27:50to head out rick mom pulled him back and shook her head dad thought for a moment he dropped the
27:57axe
27:58and grabbed a wooden club instead that day the parents of those bullies all got it you can't teach
28:05your kids i won't hit them i'll hit you instead those grown men were chased like rabbits
28:14by a man with a limp dad moved slowly but steadily he caught up to them and struck them down
28:23the men wailed in pain everyone in the ranch came out to watch then dad went to the hudson ranch
28:30he gave my uncle a brutal beating my uncle screamed and begged for mercy he promised he would never do
28:37it
28:37again i won't do it again i promise dad turned to the crowd of onlookers if you have something to
28:43say
28:43say it to my face no one dared to speak they all waved their hands and shook their heads we
28:48all know

30:40stop mom looked pained but she didn't say a word she just made extra food and added two fried eggs
30:47for me
30:48after running there was weight training dad brought sandbags from the ranch warehouse they felt like a
30:55thousand pounds on my arms after a day of training my hands and feet were covered in blisters mom washed
31:03my feet and popped the blisters for me stella train hard your dad is doing this for your own good
31:11i know mom most ranch families only teach girls to gather wood wash clothes and cook who would ever
31:19teach a girl how to be strong i understood how much dad cared for me that night mom moved into
31:25dad's room
31:25i heard them talking for a bit before the lights went out my body ached all over but i slept
31:31peacefully
31:32the next morning dad woke up late i had already finished 30 laps when he came out
31:38his eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep all day long dad and mom were blushing they kept stealing
31:45glances at each other why hide it just look if you want to grown-ups are so strange we had
31:52a perfect
31:52christmas dad used the bear money to expand the ranch he bought two dairy cows and a few beef cattle
31:59when we weren't farming we were managing the ranch during the off season we went hunting
32:04dad started taking me into the mountains he taught me how to track animals and read their droppings
32:10he showed me how to avoid bears and wolves he taught me to set traps and use a hunting rifle
32:16he even showed me how to knock someone out with minimal force and how to spot poisonous plants in the
32:21woods i was weak so my progress was slow but dad was always patient our family was happy but the
32:28rumors
32:29never truly stopped most of them came from the hudson's rick's fault he's a cripple that person
32:36pretends to be arrogant and married a cripple so what if jason was handsome his only talents were hitting us
32:43gambling and drinking i started staring at dad's leg dad 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 don't be heartless don't look down on him like others
33:04mom thought i was becoming ungrateful her eyes turned red with anger but she couldn't bring herself to hit
33:09me i quickly grabbed her hand to explain mom i don't look down on dad i feel bad for him
33:16i want to study medicine i want to fix his leg i didn't care that he limped i didn't care
33:22about
33:23the scar on his face i just hated seeing him unable to sleep when it rained i hated that hunting
33:29was
33:29harder for him than others mom understood my thoughts but she was worried there were no medical schools in
33:36town besides i was only a six year old girl dad overheard us from outside the cabin he stayed silent
33:43for two
33:43days he just sat on the porch staring at the mountains two days later he took me back to the
33:50city we found the butler who bought the black bear dad asked him for a favor the man looked at
33:56me
33:56carefully he patted dad's shoulder and agreed happily if she wants to learn she can start as an assistant
34:03in the pharmacy stella studying medicine is very hard you have to memorize names mix medicine and care
34:12for the sick people might yell at you or even hit you can you handle it i slapped my chest
34:20and spoke loudly
34:21i can i'll fix my dad's leg and earn lots of money i'll take care of my parents and my
34:29future siblings
34:29the man burst out laughing and nudged dad's arm rick your daughter is so sweet is the next one already
34:38on the way dad's face turned bright red instantly he waved his hands quickly it's still too early for
34:44that i lived at the pharmacy in town doing odd jobs i tried my best to learn everything about
34:50medicine i only went home to the ranch once every two weeks i brought the sandbags dad gave me to
34:56the pharmacy no matter how busy i was i found time to train mom hated leaving me alone in town
35:03she held
35:04my hand and wouldn't let go when she dropped me off with red eyes she told me to eat well
35:09and not
35:09overwork come home if anyone treats you badly she said i waved and smiled to comfort her don't worry mom
35:17mom i can take care of myself when i learn everything i'll fix dad's leg mom laughed through
35:24her tears and wiped them away all right i'll be waiting i'll make your favorite snacks for when you
35:30come home the doctor at the pharmacy was an old friend of the butler's he was kind to patients but
35:35very strict with apprentices if we forgot a drug's name he yelled if we missed a detail in a patient's
35:41record he yelled if we took blood pressure incorrectly he yelled sometimes he made us
35:47copy drug names as punishment for being slow the other students felt mistreated before long they all
35:54went home crying and never came back but i wasn't afraid what was this little bit of hardship compared
36:00to grandmother's beatings or jason's violence this was nothing i was already used to it besides i knew the
36:06doctor wanted me to grow fast just like dad wanted me to be strong the doctor was strict but he
36:12never
36:12treated us poorly he made plenty of food for us every day sometimes he even gave us nutrient powder
36:18i might not be the smartest but i know who was truly kind i kept training the way dad taught
36:23me i ran
36:24five kilometers with weights every morning and night i grew stronger and my movements became faster
36:30the doctor started teaching me massage techniques at first i practiced on him slowly i began helping
36:36the elderly patients ease their pain the doctor worked so hard with his patients and medicine
36:40i massaged him to help him relax he started smiling at me more he even taught me about heat and
36:46cold
36:47therapy he said these skills would really help my dad when i went home every two weeks the first thing
36:52i did was massage dad's leg i rubbed the stiff muscles from his knee to his ankle then i used
36:59the heat
36:59therapy the doctor taught me at first dad refused he thought it was awkward for a man to have his
37:05legs
37:05rubbed i had to beg him for a long time before he finally agreed after the massage he stood up
37:11and
37:11took a few steps his eyes lit up and turned a bit red stella is so smart my leg feels
37:19much better now
37:20mom saw this and asked me to teach her too when you're away i can do it for him he
37:25worked so hard
37:26on the ranch and in the mountains i taught them both step by step i laughed and said when i'm
37:33not here
37:33you two can massage each other that way you'll both feel better both their faces turned bright red
37:38instantly they glanced at each other and quickly looked down mom gave me a little pinch for talking
37:44nonsense they are so strange what is there to be embarrassed about i studied in the city for five
37:49years my medical knowledge and physical strength grew fast i went from a skinny little girl to a strong
37:55healthy teenager the fear in my eyes was gone replaced by confidence during this time mom
38:03and dad never had another child rumors started spreading around the ranch most of them came from
38:09the hudson's they claimed dad couldn't have it must be rick's fault he's disabled he probably doesn't
38:14even have the strength of father a child maybe that's why his first first wife fought with him before
38:19she died i overheard some workers gossiping when i returned home i clenched my fists ready to fight
38:24them but mom grabbed my hand and stepped forward she raised her voice so everyone could hear it's my
38:29fault i was abused at the hudson's and it ruined my health it has nothing to do with my husband
38:35rick
38:35stop your lies dad was healthy but mom was right years of hunger heavy labor and beatings had left her
38:43scarred she had been taking medicine for five years but nothing happened mom was anxious and often sat by
38:49the creek staring into space sometimes i caught her wiping away tears dad was always there to comfort
38:55her raising stella is enough she's smart and capable she's worth more than 10 sons
39:05with her around we have nothing to worry about
39:13but right then my biological father jason suddenly returned i was at the pharmacy when i saw him it was
39:20jason dressed like a gentleman he wore a sharp suit and slicked back hair a rich delicate young woman was
39:27by his side they looked very close almost too sweet he held her arm with such careful grace it was
39:34like
39:34he was afraid she might break i stood there in total shock it took me a while to believe my
39:41eyes
39:41many years had changed me completely i wasn't that skinny dark girl from the ranch anymore he didn't
39:48recognize me at all but i could never forget his face no fancy clothes could hide his selfish eyes
39:54he was still a coward deep down wasn't he supposed to be dead how could he be alive and living
40:01so well
40:01i quietly asked the doctor's assistant he told me jason and the woman were married they were here to treat
40:08infertility she was a lady from a wealthy family she couldn't get pregnant no matter what they traveled
40:14a long way to find our doctor as they walked out jason held her hand he whispered sweet comforting
40:20words to her he looked so humble and devoted it was a look i had never seen before when my
40:27mom couldn't
40:27give him a son he was a completely different monster he only knew how to beat and shame her he
40:34took all
40:34his anger out on her life i was closing the pharmacy that night jason's face was stuck in my head
40:41i
40:41couldn't focus at all i almost put the medicine in the wrong spot the doctor gave me a harsh scolding
40:47your skill is slipping slipping stella do you still want to fix your dad's leg i kept my head down
40:52and
40:53whispered doctor i'm just confused if a man was supposed to die in war but suddenly shows up alive
41:00what happens the doctor froze for a second then he let out a cold laugh what happens he's a deserter
41:09running away from battle is a huge crime they go to jail or even face death my heart skipped a
41:16beat
41:16jason was a deserter i asked the doctor for some time off i had to tell my parents the truth
41:23the
41:24doctor saw the look in my eyes he knew something was wrong and said yes back at the ranch i
41:30told
41:30them everything i told them about seeing jason at the shop and the fact that he was a coward on
41:35the run
41:36dad looked at mom with worry in his eyes but mom's face remained cold and calm she just let out
41:43a soft sigh
41:43the hudson's have nothing to do with us stella let it go we just need to live our own lives
41:50dad was so
41:51happy she had moved on he gripped her hand tight and nodded exactly they mean nothing to us don't
41:59worry stella as long as i'm here no one will hurt you we decided to leave the past behind we
42:05were ready
42:05to start our new life i had a few days off and stayed at the ranch i helped mom with
42:11chores and
42:12massaged dad's leg but that night jason sneaked to our door he knocked on the back door under the
42:18moonlight he held a paper bag with a smug greedy smile dad opened the door and his face went dark
42:25he tried to push him away instantly what are you doing here get out but jason forced his way inside
42:34anyway he dumped a stack of cash from the bag don't be so cold rick here's two thousand dollars
42:40i'm paying you back just let her bear me a son for a few years then i'll leave you two
42:46alone forever
42:47we all stared at him in total shock i wondered if this man had lost his mind but he acted
42:52like he
42:52was doing us a favor my new wife is broken she can't have kids i need a woman to give
42:58me a son
42:59then he looked at dad with a cruel smirk besides rick everyone knows you're a dud when she has the
43:06baby just say it's yours then people will stop calling you a useless cripple he had it all figured
43:13out in his sick head he really thought we were all fools jason wanted a son of his own blood
43:18but he
43:19didn't dare tell his rich wife so he planned to use my mom in secret the plan was to hide
43:24the child at
43:25our ranch then he would steal the boy back years later he already had it all calculated but would
43:31his current wife ever agree he probably had some cruel trick ready a way to force her to accept the
43:38child living off a wealthy family changed him he had become arrogant and delusional he didn't even
43:44hide his evil plot anymore my wife's family has no other heirs they took me in because they need a
43:51man
43:51after she left that fortune belongs to me everything will go to me and my son he looked at my
43:57mom with
43:58fake kindness but his voice was still full of cold pride this is a great deal for you i'll make
44:04sure our
44:04son takes care of you a little of my wealth will keep you rich finally his eyes landed on me
44:10he studied
44:11me for a long time he barely recognized the girl i had become his face twisted into a look of
44:17a stain i didn't expect you to grow up so fast i'll find a good future for you too you're
44:23even
44:24prettier than your mother rich men in the city love girls like you i'll set you up as a wealthy
44:30man's mistress you'll live a life of luxury you can't imagine i couldn't believe my own ears jason
44:38wanted to sell me as a mistress how could a father treat his own daughter like this before he could
44:43even
44:44finish his sentence rick was already shaking with pure rage he grabbed the wooden club by the door
44:50he swung it at jason with all his might i'll kill you you heartless beast keep dreaming
44:59stella will never be a mistress dad was consumed by a burning hatred he struck jason again and again
45:07jason screamed and scrambled to the door jason was howling in pain from the beating but he still
45:13wouldn't shut up think about it it's a guaranteed profit don't be so stubborn and stupid i don't
45:21even want that old woman anymore i just want to use her to get a son the life is still
45:26yours and i'll
45:28pay extra his disgusting words made dad hit even harder the heavy club almost snapped in half suddenly
45:35mom rushed out from the room her eyes were blood red with fury she looked like she had gone completely
45:41mad
45:41she lunged forward and tackled jason she pinned him down and hammered his chest she sobbed and cursed
45:48him with every strike i am rick's wife now stay away from me you won't bully us ever again this
45:55was the
45:55second time mom fought back the first time she fought to save me the second time she fought for herself
46:02dad stood by and watched her he didn't stop her but his eyes were full of pain when she finally
46:09grew
46:09tired he pulled her up he held her tight and patted her back mom sobbed loudly against his chest she
46:16let
46:16out years of bitterness and hate jason scrambled away bruised and bloody he looked back and shouted a threat
46:24you just wait this isn't over we ignored him and held each other tight we felt the warmth of our
46:31real
46:32family mom cried for a long time that night she cried for every beating and insult at the hudson's
46:38dad and i stayed by her side finally she fell asleep in dad's arms dad gently touched my head his
46:45eyes were
46:46very serious stella remember this forever never let yourself be someone's mistress rich houses look grand but
46:56they hide deep pain i want you to rely on yourself and live with pride i nodded hard tears falling
47:04down
47:05i know dad i won't let you down i'll study medicine and train hard i will protect you both and
47:13build our
47:13own life i soon returned to the city pharmacy everything seemed to go back to normal until one day
47:20i went out to deliver medicine two strangers suddenly blocked my path they were strong and looked
47:26dangerous before i could scream they grabbed me they forced me into a sack i was being kidnapped in broad
47:32daylight when i finally woke up i was tied to a chair in a cold warehouse jason and his wife
47:39lillian
47:39stared at me jason wore a fake kissing up smile lillian 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 lillian giggled behind her hand she looked delicate but her
48:01eyes were cruel she's your daughter don't just throw her away sell her to a butcher later for some cash
48:09my mouth was gagged so i just glared i cursed them a thousand times in my head
48:14these two monsters were truly insane lillian left the warehouse with a smirk jason stayed behind and
48:21untied my gag he snatched the hair clip from my head he stuffed it into an envelope for blackmail
48:27as long as i have you your mom will obey once i have my son you're useless i'll leave you
48:34both to
48:35rot in the dirt you bastard keep dreaming my mom won't listen to a coward like you and my dad
48:41will come and
48:42shave me jason's face turned purple with glory he slapped me so hard i hit the ground blood trickled
48:49from the corner of my mouth you ungrateful brat i ignored the pain and looked up at him
48:56don't be so sure it's lillian's fault maybe you're the one who was broken
49:03i remembered what the doctor once said jason had refused to be tested at the clinic he claimed he
49:09already had a child but the doctor had laughed behind his back a life of waste and sin ruins a
49:15man
49:16he's too ignorant to see the truth i knew jason's body was already failing he was living a lie this
49:22whole
49:23time a monster like him deserved nothing he deserved to have his bloodline end here i stared at him in
49:30the eyes and laughed the terror on his face was beautiful jason was stung by the truth and flew into
49:38a rage he struck me again with a heavy blow my body trembled with pain but i didn't make a
49:43sound he
49:44wasn't afraid of lillian hearing him in fact the harder he hit me the better cruelty toward me was his
49:51way of proving a point he wanted her to believe he had no feelings for me and that he had
49:56long
49:56forgotten about my mother they dragged me along for three agonizing days i was given almost no food
50:03or water when i was thirsty i licked rain water from the roof my limbs grew numb from being bound
50:11so tight
50:11and new bruises covered my face every single day by the third day i was drifting in and out of
50:18sleep
50:20in my days i heard a voice that made my heart leap it was full of worry and pure raw
50:26anger
50:30dad's voice thundered outside the warehouse jason give me back my daughter jason's face turned pale
50:37the moment he heard it but he tried to act tough and shouted back rick you cripple
50:44you dare to follow us you don't know your place guards kill him the warehouse was filled with the
50:53sounds of chaos shouts from the guards and dad's fierce roars the fighting didn't last long at all
50:59the silence was broken by jason's terrified begging rick have mercy i was wrong i'll give your daughter
51:08back just stop stop hitting me i squeezed my eyes shut tears finally falling my dad the man everyone
51:15called a cripple he had fought through the guards to save me i knew then i was finally safe the
51:22warehouse
51:22door was kicked open with a bang dad rushed in like a madman he saw me tied up covered in
51:28bruises
51:28and starving his eyes turned red with tears and rage he ran to me and untied the ropes with trembling
51:35hands he pulled me into a tight protective embrace dad came too late i let you suffer so much
51:44his voice was shaking and so were his hands resting against his chest i finally broke down
51:50all the fear and pain from the last three days exploded meanwhile lillian was screaming in the
51:55corner her face was pale but she still tried to act powerful you bastard do you know who i am
52:03my father is a wealthy merchant you're dead dad looked at her with eyes as cold as ice the sheer
52:11hatred in his gaze silenced her instantly you are harboring a deserter and a fugitive think about
52:19whether the army will let you go lillian's face turned white as a sheet she looked at jason in total
52:26disbelief a deserter jason is he telling the truth you told me you were honorably discharged
52:36it turned out she knew absolutely nothing she thought she had found a loyal reliable husband
52:42she had no idea she was sleeping next to a coward how could someone so rich be so incredibly blind
52:48she never once questioned jason's dark past she was just a foolish pawn in his game i leaned against
52:56dad a weak smile on my lips i looked straight at lillian's trembling eyes jason had a plan for you
53:03all
53:04along he's waiting for you to die so he can take your wealth
53:11he only wanted my mom to bear him a son a son to inherit your family's money
53:19and you're still protecting him you're such a fool
53:24lillian looked at jason her world crumbling down lillian trembled with rage as the truth hit her
53:30she pointed at jason her voice trapped in her throat her vision went black and she nearly collapsed
53:36before long the military police arrived we watched as they shackled jason lillian was also taken away
53:44for investigation harboring a deserter is a severe crime dad held me tight his eyes full of lingering
53:51fear my precious daughter will never be hurt again later mom told me what had happened when i didn't
53:58come home for two days dad went wild he searched every corner until he got that envelope he didn't
54:04hesitate for a second he charged straight toward jason's warehouse dad's old leg injury was acting
54:10up every step was agonizing and he fell twice i didn't care about the pain or the blood his only
54:17thought was my safety because of his bravery jason was behind bars and the entire hudson family was
54:24dragged down too the hudsons had known jason was alive all along for years jason had been sending them
54:31secret cash now they screamed that they were innocent they claimed they knew nothing about
54:37his desertion they turned on jason cursing him like demons you monster you've destroyed us all
54:48jason didn't back down he fought back just as hard you didn't say you were innocent when you took my
54:53money now that we're caught you want to blame me keep dreaming we're all going down together
55:01the whole family pointed fingers and barked like mad dogs it was a prophetic ridiculous sight they finally
55:07got the ending they deserved lillian did not escape her fate either for harboring a deserter her family
55:14assets were seized her life was utterly destroyed by jason's lies
55:21but i had no time to worry about their downfall my only concern was my father's leg to save me
55:27he
55:28had run for three days and nights his old injury had flared up completely the pain was so sharp he
55:34couldn't even stand he could only lie bedridden in a state of agony i brought him directly to the
55:39pharmacy i became his personal nurse every single day i gave him massages and applied herbal ointments
55:47i followed the doctor's methods to heal his nerves the head doctor watched me and praised my progress
55:54stella you are becoming truly skilled you will surely become a great physician cold sweat often poured
56:03down dad's forehead from the pain but whenever he looked at me he always smiled his eyes were filled
56:09with comfort and immense pride our stella has grown up so well
56:19you truly are your father's greatest pride in this small pharmacy i finally saw the light
56:27after a month of treatment dad finally improved he could slowly get out of bed and walk though he
56:33still limped he was much more agile the rainy days no longer kept him awake with pain six months later
56:40jason was sentenced to death on the day of his execution he looked like a ghost arrogance and
56:47greed vanished from his eyes he finally paid for everything he owed us this was the karma he truly
56:53deserved even then some meddling elders in the village spoke up they said i was his daughter and should bury
57:00him dad stood before the entire village and roared stella is my daughter rick's daughter
57:09she has nothing to do with that bastard jason he glared at the gossiping crowd with fierce eyes
57:16jason was a deserter and a monster are you to his family are you connected to him should i call
57:23the army
57:24the villagers shut their mouths in an instant no one dared to mention jason's name ever again they
57:30didn't want to end up like the hudson's or lillian under my care dad's leg was almost fully healed
57:36unless you looked closely the limp was invisible he could hunt and work the ranch like a normal man
57:43now dad was the happiest man alive he walked with a new spring in his step because after all the
57:50years
57:51of suffering and waiting mom was finally pregnant our true family was finally growing
57:57the shadows of the past were gone forever we will never ever be apart
