00:01Mi padre dijo eso antes de irse para el ejército.
00:04El padre tenía un brazo, pero era un hombre que era un hombre.
00:08La gente dijo que él even mató su primera mujer.
00:11Él era strong enough para atacar a bull con una punta.
00:14Para mi madre, la hija de él fue una sentencia de muerte.
00:17Después de haber, la noticia de mi padre fue muerto.
00:20De repente, mi madre soldó mi madre a la monstruos para $2,000.
00:25El día que escuchamos la noticia de mi padre, fue en diciembre, después de un blizzard.
00:30Mi madre estaba feeding el cattle barefoot.
00:33Mi madre nunca permitió la shoes.
00:35Ella dijo que una mierda de ella no mere era.
00:38Yo siempre fui a la woods para agarrar branches para la warmth.
00:41Pero mi padre siempre sacó los de sufrir para su fireplace.
00:45No importa cómo le pedimos, era useless.
00:47Mi madre le daba y le daba y le daba por días.
00:50Yo me sentí sorry por mi madre y traté de ayudarte a la comida.
00:54Baby, go play over there.
00:56The sun is out.
00:57It's warmer there.
00:58My shoes were torn and falling apart.
01:00The sun was our only source of heat.
01:03After feeding the cows, we went back to the cabin.
01:06Grandmother was already waiting, fuming with rage.
01:09What took you so long?
01:10Were you out looking for other men again?
01:13She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
01:15The army sent word.
01:16Jason is dead.
01:18Ever since he married you, my son was cursed by your bad luck.
01:21She didn't look sad about her son's death at all.
01:24There had to be a secret behind this.
01:26Now that he's gone, get out of this house.
01:29Don't stay here and ruin the Hudson family name.
01:32She looked at us with disgust and kept grumbling.
01:35Luckily, my son sold you to Rick before he left.
01:38Otherwise, we would have lost so much money feeding you two.
01:42My mom didn't fight back.
01:44She just picked up her coat and held my hand tight.
01:47Mom, at least let me take the child with me.
01:49Grandmother looked me up and down.
01:51She had a wicked look in her eyes.
01:53That depends on if that old farmer pays more.
01:59A girl her age could fetch $2,000 at the town.
02:05She's worth much more than you.
02:06My mom gripped my hand even harder.
02:09We both knew the truth.
02:11As soon as she marries Rick, grandmother will sell me away.
02:16It was the day we were driven to Rick's ranch.
02:19The legendary monster was there, chopping wood.
02:22Each swing of his axe was terrifying.
02:25One of his legs was broken and propped on a wooden stool.
02:27He looked strange and menacing.
02:29A huge scar ran from his left eye down to his mouth.
02:32It looked like his face was split in two.
02:35I hid behind my mom, trembling.
02:37Rick looked at us coldly.
02:40You're forcing this woman on me for $500?
02:42Now you want $2,000 more?
02:44He clearly didn't want my mom.
02:46And he definitely didn't want a burden like me.
02:49My son Jason saved your life in that blizzard.
02:51Now that he's gone, you should be grateful to take her.
02:54This girl will be your daughter.
02:56It's a blessing.
02:57$2,000 is a bargain for you.
02:58A few thousand dollars was a lot of money.
03:01They could buy so many seeds.
03:03I knew I wasn't worth that much.
03:05Rick glanced at grandmother but said nothing.
03:07People said he was a man of few words.
03:10But one look from him could scare anyone to death.
03:13Grandmother shoved my mom forward.
03:15My mom's thin body almost hit the ground.
03:17She pulled me along and knelt down instantly.
03:20Rick, my child eats very little.
03:22She can feed the cows and collect firewood.
03:25Please, give us a way to live.
03:27His eyes were sharp, judging me.
03:29Call him dad.
03:32I looked at Rick and that terrifying scar.
03:36Dad.
03:36Rick froze.
03:37His scar looked even more twisted.
03:39Grandmother kicked me hard in the back.
03:41Your father just died and you're already calling him dad.
03:46Just like your mother, a traitor to the power.
03:48She kept kicking me over and over.
03:50I lay on the ground, motionless.
03:53I didn't fight back or scream.
03:54I knew if she had her fun, she would eventually stop.
03:58Mom crawled over to save me.
04:00But grandmother slapped her across the face.
04:02This was life in the Hudson house.
04:04Mom couldn't save me.
04:06And she couldn't save herself.
04:08Suddenly, Rick threw a roll of cash at grandmother's feet.
04:12And enough!
04:14This girl belongs to my family now.
04:17Grandmother took the money and tried to leave.
04:19But Rick stopped her.
04:20He demanded she sign the guardianship transfer agreement.
04:23Grandmother refused.
04:25Rick snatched the money back instantly.
04:27No signature, no money.
04:28In the end, she gave in for the cash.
04:31Mom and I officially became part of Rick's family.
04:34Mom folded our two ragged coats by the cow shed.
04:37She started working right away.
04:39She wanted to be useful.
04:41She thought hard work would keep us from being beaten.
04:44Rick's cabin was simple.
04:45Three rooms and a living area.
04:47Only one bedroom had a bed.
04:49The other rooms were empty.
04:51Mom took me to the cow shed.
04:53It was kept very clean.
04:54Mom found some wooden boards to make me a bed.
04:56I will sleep here tonight.
04:59Don't be afraid, baby.
05:01I spread hay over the boards.
05:04I'm not scared, Mom.
05:05It was the same back at the Hudson Ranch.
05:07When Dad was home, he said I was in the way.
05:10He always kicked me out to the cow shed.
05:12The Hudson's shed was much filthier.
05:14There were rats and snakes everywhere.
05:16Freezing in winter and boiling in summer.
05:19I survived all those years.
05:21Mom hugged me tightly.
05:25It's my fault I couldn't keep your father's heart.
05:28Dad was always happy to Mom.
05:30I knew there was a secret behind all this.
05:33Mom, why did Dad want you to marry Rick?
05:35Before, Dad never let her leave the ranch.
05:37He never let her look at anyone and lie.
05:40Grandmother always cursed her for flirting with outsiders.
05:43Why the sudden rush to marry her off?
05:46Mom's bitter laugh was muffled in her chest.
05:48Her voice was barely a whisper.
05:51Because only Rick had this much money and...
05:54She didn't finish the sentence.
05:56But I knew.
05:57Dad sent Mom here to die.
06:00Dad decided to sell Mom for money before he even left.
06:03He wasn't coming back.
06:05And he didn't want Mom to survive.
06:06He wanted to cut off her every means of escape.
06:09Even as a child, I could see their plot.
06:11It was so obvious that all the neighbors were talking about it.
06:14A moment later, Rick came back.
06:16He ignored us.
06:17He carried a pile of wooden boards into the house.
06:20The sound of his heavy hammering echoed, hitting our hearts.
06:23Mom stood outside, hesitant.
06:25She wanted to ask where the flour and beef were so she could cook.
06:28But she didn't dare.
06:29After a while, Rick came out.
06:31He saw us standing there like statues and frowned.
06:33Something wrong?
06:34His voice was gruff.
06:36I wanted to shrink back.
06:37But it was just me and Mom.
06:39If I backed down, she would be all alone.
06:42I stood my ground and held her hand tight.
06:44Rick noticed my move and his brow twitched.
06:47Mom asked hesitantly.
06:49I wanted to ask about dinner.
06:52Please give me the ingredients so I can cook.
06:57Rick frowned again, looking at us with confusion.
07:00He pointed toward the kitchen.
07:02In there.
07:03And the key?
07:06Rick's frown deepened.
07:08He walked over and kicked the door open.
07:09Then he looked back at us.
07:11I felt like he was asking if we were stupid.
07:13There was no lock, so why would there be a key?
07:15But things were different at the Hudson Ranch.
07:17The Hudson kitchen was always locked.
07:19Even the flour, beef, and butter were kept in locked cabinets.
07:22Mom cooked every meal, but Grandmother decided every gram of food.
07:26She would put the exact amount on the counter and watch Mom cook.
07:30If a single grain of flour was dropped, she would scream for hours.
07:33She called Mom a money waster and called us starving ghosts.
07:36All you do is eat!
07:39You're useless!
07:40She was afraid we would steal food.
07:42Mom led me into the kitchen.
07:44Seeing the flour, beef, and butter sitting there made her hesitate.
07:47She looked at Rick, but he had already gone back outside.
07:50Mom didn't dare touch the food.
07:51She was afraid that if she messed up, Rick would beat her.
07:54Just like Grandmother did.
07:55She was afraid of being accused of stealing.
07:58Mom made dinner with trembling hands.
08:01She put the food on the table, but we stood in the yard, not daring to move.
08:06Rick came back carrying two large wooden crates.
08:09He put them into the empty, unused room.
08:12He saw the food, and then saw us standing outside.
08:15His frown deepened.
08:17He sat down at the table and called us inside in a gravelly voice.
08:20While he ate, he grunted,
08:22Not enough. Make more tomorrow.
08:24He ate quickly, finishing half and leaving the rest for us.
08:27Then he stood there, chopping wood while watching us eat.
08:31We didn't dare to eat much, but I soon noticed something strange.
08:35When I took big bites, he focused on his work.
08:37The moment I put down my fork, he would stare at me and frown.
08:41Did he want us to eat more?
08:43We finished the meal in fear, waiting for the beatings to start.
08:46But Rick didn't yell or hit us.
08:49He just put away his axe and spoke.
08:53Wash up and go to sleep. It's been a long day.
08:56After Rick finished, Mom took me to wash up.
08:59We hadn't used hot water in three years.
09:01She kept muttering as she washed, her face full of nerves.
09:05I must get clean. Then he won't hate me.
09:08The hot water hit my back, and I felt warm instantly.
09:12I never knew a bath could feel this good.
09:14At the Hudson Ranch, this was a heaven I couldn't even imagine.
09:17After the bath, I headed to the cow shed to sleep.
09:20Mom pulled me aside.
09:22Cover your ears.
09:23No matter what you hear, don't come out.
09:25Just pretend you're asleep.
09:27Okay?
09:28I nodded hard. I understood.
09:31Back then, Dad would come home drunk and beat me in the shed.
09:34He called me a waste of money and a curse.
09:36He blamed me for his gambling losses.
09:38One time, he almost killed me.
09:40Mom had to grab an axe to fight him off just to save me.
09:43Now, looking at Rick, he was much stronger than Dad.
09:46He could probably kill me with one kick.
09:48But he wasn't drunk, and he wasn't angry.
09:50He picked me up like a little chick and carried me into the empty room.
09:54Mom was already waiting there.
09:55The room wasn't empty anymore.
09:57There was a wide wooden bed inside.
09:59It was piled with old but clean quilts and two sets of warm clothes.
10:03Rick set me down and turned to leave.
10:05He went back to his own room and closed the door.
10:08Soon, I heard him snoring.
10:09I never thought I'd get to sleep inside a house again.
10:13That night, we slept restlessly, but it was so warm.
10:17I curled up in my quilt and whispered,
10:20Mom, it's so warm.
10:21I had never felt this warm in winter before.
10:24My stomach was full, and my heart felt safe.
10:27For the first time, I felt like I was actually alive.
10:30Mom stroked my hair.
10:31Baby, you called him Dad today.
10:34Call him that tomorrow and every day after.
10:37I nodded.
10:39Okay.
10:40Rick was already much better to me than my real father.
10:42After that, Mom slowly started making more food.
10:45She was careful, adding just a little more each time.
10:49It took days for her to figure out Rick's temper and appetite.
10:52He ate a lot, as much as Mom and me combined.
10:55But he never told us we couldn't eat.
10:57In fact, if we ate too little, he would frown.
10:59He went hunting in the mountains around the ranch.
11:01He sold the big one in town.
11:03But sometimes, he brought back rabbits or pheasants for Mom to stew.
11:06He only ate half and left the rest for us.
11:08In my whole life, I had only tasted meat three times.
11:12This was the fourth.
11:13The meat tasted so good.
11:14No wonder Grandmother and my uncle loved it so much.
11:17Mom saw how happy I was and gave me extra.
11:19I ate so much that I didn't notice the pain until midnight.
11:22I was rolling on the bed in agony.
11:24Mom rubbed my stomach, but nothing worked.
11:27She gave me hot water, but I threw it up instantly.
11:29I felt like I was dying.
11:31Rick burst into the room.
11:33He wrapped me in a quilt and hoisted me onto his shoulder.
11:36He started running.
11:37Mom stumbled along behind him, too scared to say a word.
11:40He ran all the way to the town doctor's house.
11:43He kicked the door open.
11:44The doctor's family was terrified.
11:46They started to complain, but one look at Rick's face silenced them.
11:50The doctor checked me with a stethoscope.
11:52He asked what I had eaten.
11:54It's indigestion.
11:55She ate too much.
11:56She's been malnourished for years.
11:58Her body can't handle this much meat all at once.
12:01I'll give her something to throw it up.
12:03He poured something into my mouth.
12:05I vomited everything out.
12:06The room smelled awful.
12:08The doctor's wife grumbled in the corner.
12:10Clearly, she's never had anything good in her life.
12:13She doesn't have the luck to enjoy good food.
12:15Rick looked up and gave her a death stare.
12:17She scurried back into her room, terrified.
12:20I felt so ashamed.
12:22I got sick just from eating meat.
12:24Maybe grandmother was right.
12:25Maybe I was just a starving ghost who didn't deserve anything.
12:29Rick carried me back home.
12:30On the way, he asked in a low voice.
12:32Have you never had meat before?
12:35I thought he was judging me.
12:36This was only my fourth time.
12:39Before, I only ever had a bite.
12:41At the Hudson's, they wouldn't even give us the leftover broth.
12:44I truly had never had anything good.
12:46He gave a low grunt.
12:48You'll get used to it if you eat it more often.
12:52I was sick and could only eat rice porridge for a few days.
12:56Rick bought some supplements from town.
12:58Those were expensive things I had never seen before.
13:01I ate rice porridge with nutrient powder every meal.
13:04It was even better than what my mom ate when I was born.
13:07Rick watched me eat every day.
13:09Once my face looked healthy again, he stopped worrying.
13:13He went to fix the doctor's fence.
13:15Then he dragged the doctor back to check my heartbeat.
13:17Only after the doctor said I was fine did he let him go.
13:20He said he was going deep into the mountains to hunt.
13:23He wanted to catch something big.
13:25He would be gone for days and asked mom to pack some food.
13:28Mom mixed butter and brown sugar into the dough.
13:30The flatbread smelled delicious as she baked it.
13:33She also gave him thick insoles and a winter hat she had made.
13:38Rick took the food and looked at the gifts.
13:40He looked at her and his eyes softened.
13:43Christmas is coming soon.
13:45I'll buy you gifts once I sell the big game.
13:47Think about what you want.
13:49Mom and I stood at the ranch gate to see him off.
13:51Watching his limping figure, I couldn't help but shout,
13:54Dad, come back soon!
13:56Rick's body stiffened for a second.
13:58He didn't look back, but he waved his hand.
14:00Go inside. It's cold out here.
14:03We waited for five days, but he didn't come back.
14:09That night, the weather turned even colder.
14:12On the fifth day, snow began to fall from the sky.
14:16Mom looked at the darkening sky, then at me.
14:19She pointed to the food in the kitchen.
14:21She told me to take care of myself and fix something to eat if I got hungry.
14:27I'm going to find him. I'll be back soon.
14:30She put on thick clothes, strapped a dagger to herself, and took a flashlight.
14:36I was too worried to stay, so I hid a small curved knife on myself.
14:41I followed closely behind her.
14:43Where you go, I go, Mom. We're going to bring Dad home.
14:46In my heart, Rick was my father.
14:48He was a thousand times better than my real father.
14:52Mom sighed.
14:53If something really happened to him, you wouldn't survive alone.
14:56Let's go. Together.
14:58We held hands and walked deep into the mountains.
15:01Before, we only gathered firewood at the edge of the woods.
15:05People said there were wolves, wild boars, and man-eating black bears deep inside.
15:11But, as long as I was with Mom, and thinking that Dad was waiting for us, I wasn't scared at
15:17all.
15:17Heavy snow fell from the sky.
15:20It was only afternoon, but it was already completely dark.
15:24The path through the woods was extremely hard to walk.
15:27I stepped deep and shallow, sometimes falling into deep holes made of fallen leaves.
15:33Mom pulled me out and used a stick to check the path ahead.
15:36Before long, heavy footsteps came from ahead.
15:41Mom pulled out her dagger, and I gripped my curved knife tightly.
15:45We stared ahead, terrified and alert.
15:48In that moment, I thought, even if I die, I want to die with Mom.
15:53The footsteps grew closer.
15:56A tall, limping figure appeared.
15:58He was dragging a huge black bear, walking with difficulty with every step.
16:03We both froze.
16:05Dad!
16:06I let go of Mom's hand and rushed over suddenly.
16:09I hugged his leg tightly and looked up at him.
16:12The black bear fell heavily to the ground.
16:14What?
16:15What are you doing here?
16:16He looked at us, completely shocked.
16:18He reached out to pick me up.
16:20But he was clearly exhausted, trying several times but failing.
16:24I held tightly to his thigh.
16:26Dad, we came to take you home.
16:29Mom rushed over as well.
16:32Rick, you've been gone for five days, and it started snowing.
16:37She didn't dare say she was worried.
16:40Back then, when my biological father didn't come home for days, Mom went to look for him, too.
16:46I was afraid something happened to you.
16:48But my father just slapped her across the face.
16:51Something happened?
16:52What could happen to a man like me?
16:54It's because you cursed me all day that I'm so unlucky!
16:57After that, Mom never dared to show her worry again.
17:01He wasn't a good husband, a good father, or even a good person.
17:05But Rick just looked at Mom and quirked his lips.
17:09He tried to smile, but maybe he hadn't smiled in years and forgot how.
17:13He gave us an explanation.
17:15This game was too big.
17:16That's why I'm late.
17:19He hoisted the black bear back up and told us to go home.
17:23Go back and start the fire.
17:25I'll be home soon.
17:27That bear was massive.
17:29He must have dragged it for so long that he was completely exhausted.
17:33Yet, he didn't demand our help.
17:35He wanted to carry the burden himself.
17:38Mom saw how tired he was and hesitated.
17:42She didn't want to disobey, but she desperately wanted to help.
17:46I ran forward and grabbed the bear's leg.
17:49Dad, we're going back with you.
17:52I didn't have much strength, and the bear's fur felt terrifying.
17:56It was so huge that it looked fierce even in death.
18:00Mom found her courage and ran over too.
18:03We'll help you.
18:06It took all our strength to drag the black bear home.
18:09The snow on the ground was thick now.
18:12The ranch was pitch black, and the trail was empty.
18:15We finally made it back.
18:17The giant bear lay in the snow looking even more fierce, but I wasn't afraid.
18:23I circled it a few times and ran back to Rick.
18:27I leaned against his leg and looked up.
18:29Dad, you're amazing.
18:31You actually killed a black bear.
18:34Rick was too tired to move, but he reached out.
18:37He gently patted my head.
18:40Yeah.
18:41His hand was large, rough, and heavy.
18:44But when he touched me, it was light and warm.
18:47Jason's hands were big too, but they weren't rough.
18:50He rarely did any real work.
18:53Jason wasn't even that strong.
18:55When he got into trouble in town, he would just curl up and take the hits.
19:00But when he hit me and Mom, he was very strong.
19:03His blows made my head ring every time.
19:06In this place, many men slapped their wives and children.
19:10I used to think all fathers and husbands were like that.
19:13I didn't know someone could be different.
19:16The next morning, before dawn, Rick borrowed a tractor.
19:21He woke us up to go to town and sell the bear.
19:24He knew exactly where to go.
19:26He stopped at a grand luxury house.
19:29A butler came out and greeted him warmly.
19:32They hugged and talked like old friends.
19:35I realized then that Dad could be so full of life.
19:38He could actually talk this much.
19:41Mom and I stayed back, staring at the fancy gates.
19:44We didn't dare step forward.
19:47Dad pointed at us.
19:48The butler looked us over and pulled out a small coin purse.
19:53Here, child.
19:54Take this.
19:55I was too scared to take it, but he pressed it into my hand.
20:00Dad nodded, so I finally accepted it.
20:03Thank you.
20:04There was a silver coin inside.
20:06I immediately put the coin in Dad's hand.
20:11Dad, this is for you.
20:13The butler froze for a second, then burst out laughing.
20:17Rick, you have a sweet daughter.
20:19You're a lucky man.
20:21He handed me a big apple.
20:23The coin is for your dad.
20:26But this is for you.
20:28Keep it for yourself.
20:30Merry Christmas to your family.
20:31The butler bought the bear and invited Dad for a drink.
20:35Won't you come in for a drink?
20:37Rick waved him off and refused.
20:39No, thank you.
20:40We need to buy things for Christmas.
20:44The black bear sold for a lot of money.
20:47Dad took us to the streets.
20:49First, he bought a lot of candy.
20:51He put them into three red socks.
20:54I took one out and put it in my mouth, carefully.
20:58I peeled another one for Mom.
21:00Mom didn't dare to eat and looked at Dad.
21:04She wanted to save it for me, but Dad stopped her.
21:08Too much sugar makes kids sick.
21:10We don't want to see the doctor again.
21:13Mom remembered my stomach ache and didn't give me more.
21:16So, Mom finally opened her mouth and ate the candy.
21:22Dad then took us to buy meat, flour, and butter.
21:25He even bought spices for cooking.
21:29Finally, we went to a clothing store for new coats.
21:33Mom waved her hands and said no.
21:36Our old coats are still good.
21:38I said no, too.
21:40The old quilts and coats Dad gave us were already warm and clean.
21:44That was good enough for me.
21:46I had never worn such nice clothes in my life.
21:50But Dad insisted on buying new ones.
21:55I bought old ones because I was broke.
21:57Now we have money.
21:59In the end, we bought fabric and cotton instead of finished coats.
22:04I can sew quickly.
22:05I can sew quickly.
22:05They'll be ready before Christmas.
22:07She still didn't want to spend too much.
22:10She picked out a plaid fabric for Dad and held it up to him.
22:14Rick, this pattern looks good on you.
22:17It was the first time they were so close.
22:20I think I saw Dad's face turn red.
22:26Dad lifted me up and set me on his shoulders.
22:29I could see so far away.
22:31I laughed out loud.
22:33It was my first time being up this high.
22:36Mom was worried and kept checking Dad's leg.
22:39She was afraid he would get too tired.
22:42After a while, Dad bought me some toys.
22:45He also bought hair clips and brooches for me and Mom.
22:49Brother, your wife and daughter are beautiful.
22:51These brooches from the city suit them perfectly.
22:54Both Dad and Mom blushed at the same time.
22:57On the way back, we sat on the tractor.
22:59I hugged my red socks tightly.
23:02This was the happiest day of my life.
23:04As we passed the Hudson Ranch, I saw Grandmother.
23:08She was feeding the cows in the yard.
23:10My uncle was lounging under the eaves in the sun.
23:13He still had no job and no wife.
23:15He just ate, drank, and wasted his life.
23:18After selling us to Rick, he had that money.
23:21Now he worked even less.
23:22He said he was preparing for a blind date.
23:25Grandmother always called us lazy.
23:27But I never dared to say that my uncle was the laziest one.
23:31I gripped my red socks and stared at them.
23:33Grandmother and my uncle noticed us.
23:35Their eyes widened in disbelief.
23:37Then, their faces turned into a hateful scowl.
23:40You two shrewd!
23:44Grandmother was cursing at us.
23:46Dad stopped the tractor.
23:48He threw a stone and hit my uncle right on the head.
23:51My uncle jumped up in pain.
23:53Who did that?
23:55Dad threw another stone into Grandmother's water basin.
23:59They are my wife and daughter now.
24:01If you insult them again, you're dealing with me.
24:05He looked terrifying.
24:06Even with a limp, he stood like a mountain.
24:10Grandmother and my uncle were bullies who feared the strong.
24:13They were furious but didn't dare say a word.
24:16Mom gripped my hand.
24:19Her eyes turned red.
24:20As we drove away, I looked back.
24:23I could still see their hateful glares.
24:26I suddenly felt brave.
24:28I waved my red socks and made a face at them.
24:32I had a real dad now.
24:34They could never bully us again.
24:36Back home, Mom started decorating the tree and making apple pie.
24:40Dad spent his time fixing everything in the house.
24:44He gathered wood and never stayed idle.
24:47He brought back more pheasants and rabbits.
24:50Eat more meat, then your stomach won't hurt anymore.
24:53I wanted to follow him into the mountains, but he refused.
24:56Kids stay home and play.
24:58I tried to help Mom, but she sent me away too.
25:02Your dad wants you to play.
25:05Go on, you haven't had a chance to be a kid yet.
25:07At the Hudson Ranch, I never had time to play.
25:11Now that I could, I didn't know how.
25:13I walked along the path with some candy.
25:16I saved them carefully, not wanting to eat them.
25:19But then, I ran into some mean kids from a nearby farm.
25:23They swarmed me and grabbed my candy.
25:26You're a brat born from that limp farmer.
25:28Your grandmother said so.
25:30It must be true.
25:31A bitch and her brat.
25:33No wonder her husband just died and she remarried already.
25:36I fought back with all my might.
25:38That's not true!
25:39Help! Grandmother kicked us out!
25:41My mom isn't a bitch and I'm not a brat!
25:45But I was too small.
25:47I couldn't beat them.
25:49My clothes were torn.
25:51My candy was gone.
25:53Even my new hair clip was missing.
25:55They laughed and ran off with my sweets.
25:57I sat in the mud and cried.
26:00Grandmother and my uncle stood nearby, watching with wicked smiles.
26:05You deserve this!
26:07We should have sold them to the town tavern back then!
26:10I screamed at them.
26:11I am not a brat!
26:13You are the bad people!
26:15You are evil!
26:17I was so small back then.
26:19My mom had already had a child.
26:21The tavern would never pay that much for us.
26:23They thought I was too young to understand.
26:25But I had overheard their conversation.
26:28They were the truly wicked ones.
26:30They wanted to leave us at the ranch.
26:32They wanted to watch Rick beat us to death.
26:35But they never expected this.
26:37Dad never hit us.
26:39He never tortured us even for a second.
26:41He treated us so well.
26:44They couldn't stand it.
26:45So they spread rumors behind our backs.
26:48They framed us everywhere.
26:50Clearly, they are the real monsters.
26:53I lost the hair clip and candy Dad bought me.
26:56I was too ashamed to go home.
26:58I lingered near the gate, hesitating.
27:00Dad came down from the mountain.
27:02He saw me covered in mud and blood.
27:05He dropped his pheasants in shock.
27:07I had never seen him so angry.
27:09Who did this?
27:10I trembled in fear.
27:12I'm sorry.
27:13I'm so sorry.
27:15He panicked, trying to wipe the mud off my face.
27:19Tell Dad.
27:20Who hit you?
27:21His hands were rough, but they calmed my racing heart.
27:25I stuttered through the whole story.
27:27The more I spoke, the darker his face became.
27:31He took me back and left me with Mom.
27:33Then he grabbed his axe to head out.
27:36Rick.
27:36Mom pulled him back and shook her head.
27:39Dad thought for a moment.
27:41He dropped the axe and grabbed a wooden club instead.
27:45That day, the parents of those bullies all got a beating.
27:49If you can't teach your kids, I won't hit them.
27:51I'll hit you instead.
27:54Those grown men were chased like rabbits by a man with a limp.
28:01Dad moved slowly but steadily.
28:04He caught up to them and struck them down.
28:07The men wailed in pain.
28:10Everyone in the ranch came out to watch.
28:12Then Dad went to the Hudson Ranch.
28:14He gave my uncle a brutal beating.
28:17My uncle screamed and begged for mercy.
28:20He promised he would never do it again.
28:22I won't do it again.
28:23I promise.
28:24Dad turned to the crowd of onlookers.
28:26If you have something to say, say it to my face.
28:28No one dared to speak.
28:30They all waved their hands and shook their heads.
28:32We all know what the Hudsons are like.
28:34Just go live your life.
28:35Look at how happy your family is now.
28:37Dad dropped the club.
28:39He patted my head and led me home.
28:45Have you lived this long without a name?
28:48I shook my head.
28:50Grandmother called me a brat.
28:52Mom only called me baby.
28:54Dad pulled me close and looked at the stars.
28:57From now on, your name is Stella.
29:00Shine like a star and have a bright future ahead.
29:03For the first time, I had a real name.
29:08Stella Cooper, I have my own name now.
29:11I smiled at Mom.
29:12Dad smiled too and patted my head.
29:15I finally have a daughter of my own.
29:19That night, Mom talked to me.
29:21Stella, you're a big girl now.
29:25Starting tomorrow, you sleep on your own, okay?
29:28If I sleep alone, where will Mom sleep?
29:31I thought about it and nodded hard.
29:33Okay, Mom.
29:34You and Dad have a baby brother or sister soon.
29:37I'll play with them.
29:38This time, I really wanted a sibling.
29:41A sibling just like Dad would be wonderful.
29:45The next morning, Dad woke me up early.
29:48Stella, was I cool when I handled those bad guys yesterday?
29:51I nodded vigorously.
29:53So cool.
29:54If you want to protect yourself,
29:56you want to rely on more forever.
29:58You have to rely on yourself.
30:00Do you want like me strong?
30:01I nodded again.
30:03Yes.
30:04I wanted to be strong like him.
30:06I wanted to protect my parents and my future siblings.
30:10I wanted to hunt bears and earn lots of money.
30:13Dad looked proud.
30:14He made me run 50 laps around our ranch cabin.
30:18By the end, I could barely stand.
30:21He gritted his teeth and wouldn't let me stop.
30:24Mom looked pained, but she didn't say a word.
30:26She just made extra food and added two fried eggs for me.
30:31After running, there was weight training.
30:33Dad brought sandbags from the ranch warehouse.
30:37They felt like a thousand pounds on my arms.
30:40After a day of training, my hands and feet were covered in blisters.
30:44Mom washed my feet and popped the blisters for me.
30:47Stella, train hard.
30:50Your dad is doing this for your own good.
30:54I know, Mom.
30:56Most ranch families only teach girls to gather wood, wash clothes, and cook.
31:00Who would ever teach a girl how to be strong?
31:03I understood how much Dad cared for me.
31:07That night, Mom moved into Dad's room.
31:09I heard them talking for a bit before the lights went out.
31:12My body ached all over, but I slept peacefully.
31:16The next morning, Dad woke up late.
31:18I had already finished 30 laps when he came out.
31:22His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
31:25All day long, Dad and Mom were blushing.
31:27They kept stealing glances at each other.
31:30Why hide it?
31:31Just look if you want to.
31:33Grownups are so strange.
31:35We had a perfect Christmas.
31:37Dad used the bear money to expand the ranch.
31:39He bought two dairy cows and a few beef cattle.
31:42When we weren't farming, we were managing the ranch.
31:45During the off-season, we went hunting.
31:48Dad started taking me into the mountains.
31:50He taught me how to track animals and read their droppings.
31:53He showed me how to avoid bears and wolves.
31:56He taught me to set traps and use a hunting rifle.
31:59He even showed me how to knock someone out with minimal force
32:02and how to spot poisonous plants in the woods.
32:05I was weak, so my progress was slow.
32:07But Dad was always patient.
32:09Our family was happy.
32:11But the rumors never truly stopped.
32:13Most of them came from the Hudsons.
32:15Rick's fault he's a cripple.
32:17That person pretends to be arrogant and married a cripple.
32:22So what if Jason was handsome?
32:24His only talents were hitting us, gambling and drinking.
32:28I started staring at Dad's leg.
32:31Dad noticed and tried to walk slower to hide his limp.
32:34Sometimes he would lean on the ranch fence for support.
32:38Your dad is so good to you, Stella.
32:43Don't be heartless.
32:44Don't look down on him like others.
32:47Mom thought I was becoming ungrateful.
32:49Her eyes turned red with anger, but she couldn't bring herself to hit me.
32:52I quickly grabbed her hand to explain.
32:55Mom, I don't look down on Dad.
32:57I feel bad for him.
32:59I want to study medicine.
33:01I want to fix his leg.
33:03I didn't care that he limped.
33:04I didn't care about the scar on his face.
33:07I just hated seeing him unable to sleep when it rained.
33:10I hated that hunting was harder for him than others.
33:14Mom understood my thoughts, but she was worried.
33:17There were no medical schools in town.
33:19Besides, I was only a six-year-old girl.
33:22Dad overheard us from outside the cabin.
33:24He stayed silent for two days.
33:26He just sat on the porch, staring at the mountains.
33:30Two days later, he took me back to the city.
33:32We found the butler who bought the black bear.
33:35Dad asked him for a favor.
33:37The man looked at me carefully.
33:39He patted Dad's shoulder and agreed happily.
33:41If she wants to learn, she can start as an assistant in the pharmacy.
33:48Stella, studying medicine is very hard.
33:50You have to memorize names, mix medicine, and care for the sick.
33:55People might yell at you or even hit you.
33:59Can you handle it?
34:00I slapped my chest and spoke loudly.
34:03I can.
34:04I'll fix my dad's leg and earn lots of money.
34:08I'll take care of my parents and my future siblings.
34:11The man burst out laughing and nudged Dad's arm.
34:14Rick, your daughter is so sweet.
34:17Is the next one already on the way?
34:20Dad's face turned bright red instantly.
34:22He waved his hands quickly.
34:24It's still too early for that!
34:27I lived at the pharmacy in town, doing odd jobs.
34:30I tried my best to learn everything about medicine.
34:33I only went home to the ranch once every two weeks.
34:36I brought the sandbags Dad gave me to the pharmacy.
34:39No matter how busy I was, I found time to train.
34:42Mom hated leaving me alone in town.
34:45She held my hand and wouldn't let go when she dropped me off.
34:48With red eyes, she told me to eat well and not overwork.
34:52Come home if anyone treats you badly, she said.
34:55I waved and smiled to comfort her.
34:58Don't worry, Mom.
34:59I can take care of myself.
35:01When I learn everything, I'll fix Dad's leg.
35:04Mom laughed through her tears and wiped them away.
35:07All right, I'll be waiting.
35:09I'll make your favorite snacks for when you come home.
35:12The doctor at the pharmacy was an old friend of the butler's.
35:15He was kind to patients, but very strict with apprentices.
35:18If we forgot a drug's name, he yelled.
35:21If we missed a detail in a patient's record, he yelled.
35:24If we took blood pressure incorrectly, he yelled.
35:27Sometimes he made us copy drug names as punishment for being slow.
35:31The other students felt mistreated.
35:33Before long, they all went home crying and never came back.
35:37But I wasn't afraid.
35:38What was this little bit of hardship?
35:40Compared to Grandmother's beatings or Jason's violence, this was nothing.
35:44I was already used to it.
35:46Besides, I knew the doctor wanted me to grow fast.
35:49Just like Dad wanted me to be strong.
35:52The doctor was strict, but he never treated us poorly.
35:55He made plenty of food for us every day.
35:57Sometimes he even gave us nutrient powder.
36:00I might not be the smartest, but I know who was truly kind.
36:03I kept training the way Dad taught me.
36:05I ran 5 kilometers with weights every morning and night.
36:08I grew stronger, and my movements became faster.
36:11The doctor started teaching me massage techniques.
36:14At first, I practiced on him.
36:16Slowly, I began helping the elderly patients ease their pain.
36:19The doctor worked so hard with his patients in medicine.
36:22I massaged him to help him relax.
36:24He started smiling at me more.
36:26He even taught me about heat and cold therapy.
36:28He said these skills would really help my dad.
36:31When I went home every two weeks, the first thing I did was massage Dad's leg.
36:35I rubbed the stiff muscles from his knee to his ankle.
36:39Then I used the heat therapy the doctor taught me.
36:42At first, Dad refused.
36:43He thought it was awkward for a man to have his legs rubbed.
36:46I had to beg him for a long time before he finally agreed.
36:50After the massage, he stood up and took a few steps.
36:53His eyes lit up and turned a bit red.
36:55Stella is so smart.
36:58My leg feels much better now.
37:00Mom saw this and asked me to teach her, too.
37:03When you're away, I can do it for him.
37:05He worked so hard on the ranch and in the mountains.
37:08I taught them both step by step.
37:11I laughed and said,
37:12When I'm not here, you two can massage each other.
37:15That way, you'll both feel better.
37:17Both their faces turned bright red instantly.
37:19They glanced at each other and quickly looked down.
37:22Mom gave me a little pinch for talking nonsense.
37:24They are so strange.
37:26What is there to be embarrassed about?
37:27I studied in the city for five years.
37:30My medical knowledge and physical strength grew fast.
37:33I went from a skinny little girl to a strong, healthy teenager.
37:38The fear in my eyes was gone, replaced by confidence.
37:41During this time, Mom and Dad never had another child.
37:45Rumors started spreading around the ranch.
37:48Most of them came from the Hudsons.
37:49They claimed Dad couldn't have children.
37:51It must be Rick's fault.
37:53He's disabled.
37:54He probably doesn't even have the strength to father a child.
37:56Maybe that's why his first first wife fought with him before she died.
38:00I overheard some workers gossiping when I returned home.
38:03I clenched my fists, ready to fight them.
38:05But Mom grabbed my hand and stepped forward.
38:07She raised her voice so everyone could hear.
38:09It's my fault!
38:10I was abused at the Hudsons and it ruined my health!
38:13It has nothing to do with my husband, Rick!
38:15Stop your lies!
38:17Dad was healthy, but Mom was right.
38:19Years of hunger, heavy labor, and beatings had left her scarred.
38:23She had been taking medicine for five years, but nothing happened.
38:27Mom was anxious and often sat by the creek staring into space.
38:31Sometimes I caught her wiping away tears.
38:33Dad was always there to comfort her.
38:36Raising Stella is enough.
38:38She's smart and capable.
38:40She's worth more than ten sons.
38:44With her around, we have nothing to worry about.
38:52But right then, my biological father, Jason, suddenly returned.
38:57I was at the pharmacy when I saw him.
39:00It was Jason, dressed like a gentleman.
39:02He wore a sharp suit and slicked back hair.
39:05A rich, delicate young woman was by his side.
39:08They looked very close, almost too sweet.
39:11He held her arm with such careful grace.
39:13It was like he was afraid she might break.
39:15I stood there in total shock.
39:18It took me a while to believe my eyes.
39:21Many years had changed me completely.
39:23I wasn't that skinny, dark girl from the ranch anymore.
39:26He didn't recognize me at all.
39:28But I could never forget his face.
39:30No fancy clothes could hide his selfish eyes.
39:33He was still a coward deep down.
39:36Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
39:38How could he be alive and living so well?
39:41I quietly asked the doctor's assistant.
39:43He told me Jason and the woman were married.
39:45They were here to treat infertility.
39:48She was a lady from a wealthy family.
39:50She couldn't get pregnant no matter what.
39:52They traveled a long way to find our doctor.
39:55As they walked out, Jason held her hand.
39:57He whispered sweet, comforting words to her.
40:00He looked so humble and devoted.
40:02It was a look I had never seen before.
40:05When my mom couldn't give him a son,
40:07he was a completely different monster.
40:09He only knew how to beat and shame her.
40:12He took all his anger out on her life.
40:16I was closing the pharmacy that night.
40:18Jason's face was stuck in my head.
40:20I couldn't focus at all.
40:22I almost put the medicine in the wrong spot.
40:24The doctor gave me a harsh scolding.
40:26Your skill is slipping, slipping, Stella.
40:28Do you still want to fix your dad's leg?
40:30I kept my head down and whispered.
40:32Doctor, I'm just confused.
40:35If a man was supposed to die in war,
40:38but suddenly shows up alive, what happens?
40:40The doctor froze for a second.
40:42Then he let out a cold laugh.
40:44What happens?
40:45He's a deserter.
40:47Running away from battle is a huge crime.
40:51They go to jail or even face death.
40:54My heart skipped a beat.
40:56Jason was a deserter.
40:57I asked the doctor for some time off.
41:00I had to tell my parents the truth.
41:01The doctor saw the look in my eyes.
41:04He knew something was wrong and said yes.
41:07Back at the ranch, I told them everything.
41:09I told them about seeing Jason at the shop
41:12and the fact that he was a coward on the run.
41:15Dad looked at Mom with worry in his eyes,
41:17but Mom's face remained cold and calm.
41:20She just let out a soft sigh.
41:22The Hudsons have nothing to do with us.
41:25Stella, let it go.
41:27We just need to live our own lives.
41:29Dad was so happy she had moved on.
41:30He gripped her hand tight and nodded.
41:33Exactly.
41:34They mean nothing to us.
41:36Don't worry, Stella.
41:38As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you.
41:41We decided to leave the past behind.
41:43We were ready to start our new life.
41:46I had a few days off and stayed at the ranch.
41:48I helped Mom with chores and massaged Dad's leg.
41:51But that night, Jason sneaked to our door.
41:54He knocked on the back door under the moonlight.
41:57He held a paper bag with a smug, greedy smile.
42:01Dad opened the door and his face went dark.
42:03He tried to push him away instantly.
42:07What are you doing here?
42:09Get out!
42:10But Jason forced his way inside anyway.
42:12He dumped a stack of cash from the bag.
42:15Don't be so cold, Rick.
42:16Rick, here's $2,000.
42:18I'm paying you back.
42:20Just let her bear me a son for a few years.
42:23Then I'll leave you two alone forever.
42:25We all stared at him in total shock.
42:27I wondered if this man had lost his mind.
42:29But he acted like he was doing us a favor.
42:31My new wife is broken.
42:33She can't have kids.
42:34I need a woman to give me a son.
42:37Then he looked at Dad with a cruel smirk.
42:40Besides, Rick, everyone knows you're a dud.
42:43When she has the baby, just say it's yours.
42:46Then people will stop calling you a useless cripple.
42:49He had it all figured out in his sick head.
42:51He really thought we were all fools.
42:54Jason wanted a son of his own blood.
42:56But he didn't dare tell his rich wife.
42:59So he planned to use my mom in secret.
43:01The plan was to hide the child at our ranch.
43:04Then he would steal the boy back years later.
43:07He already had it all calculated.
43:08But would his current wife ever agree?
43:11He probably had some cruel trick ready.
43:14A way to force her to accept the child.
43:16Living off a wealthy family changed him.
43:19He had become arrogant and delusional.
43:21He didn't even hide his evil plot anymore.
43:24My wife's family has no other heirs.
43:27They took me in because they need a man.
43:29After she left, that fortune belongs to me.
43:32Everything will go to me and my son.
43:34He looked at my mom with fake kindness.
43:36But his voice was still full of cold pride.
43:39This is a great deal for you.
43:41I'll make sure our son takes care of you.
43:43A little of my wealth will keep you rich.
43:46Finally, his eyes landed on me.
43:47He studied me for a long time.
43:50He barely recognized the girl I had become.
43:52His face twisted into a look of disdain.
43:55I didn't expect you to grow up so fast.
43:57I'll find a good future for you, too.
44:00You're even prettier than your mother.
44:02Rich men in the city love girls like you.
44:05I'll set you up as a wealthy man's mistress.
44:08You'll live a life of luxury you can't imagine.
44:13I couldn't believe my own ears.
44:15Jason wanted to sell me as a mistress.
44:18How could a father treat his own daughter like this, before he could even finish his sentence?
44:23Rick was already shaking with pure rage.
44:25He grabbed the wooden club by the door.
44:28He swung it at Jason with all his might.
44:32I'll kill you, you heartless beast!
44:34Keep dreaming!
44:36Stella will never be a mistress!
44:39Dad was consumed by a burning hatred.
44:42He struck Jason again and again.
44:44Jason screamed and scrambled through the door.
44:47Jason was howling in pain from the beating.
44:50But he still wouldn't shut up.
44:51Think about it.
44:52It's a guaranteed profit.
44:54Don't be so stubborn and stupid.
44:57I don't even want that old woman anymore.
44:59I just want to use her to get a son.
45:02The life is still Yordas, and I'll pay extra.
45:05His disgusting words made Dad hit even harder.
45:09The heavy club almost snapped in half.
45:11Suddenly, Mom rushed out from the room.
45:14Her eyes were blood red with fury.
45:16She looked like she had gone completely mad.
45:18She lunged forward and tackled Jason.
45:21She pinned him down and hammered his chest.
45:23She sobbed and cursed him with every strike.
45:26I am Rick's wife now!
45:27Stay away from me!
45:29You won't bully us ever again!
45:31This was the second time Mom fought back.
45:34The first time she fought to save me.
45:36The second time, she fought for herself.
45:39Dad stood by and watched her.
45:41He didn't stop her, but his eyes were full of pain.
45:45When she finally grew tired, he pulled her up.
45:47He held her tight and patted her back.
45:49Mom sobbed loudly against his chest.
45:52She let out years of bitterness and hate.
45:55Jason scrambled away, bruised and bloody.
45:58He looked back and shouted a threat.
46:01You just wait!
46:02This isn't over!
46:04We ignored him and held each other tight.
46:07We felt the warmth of our real family.
46:09Mom cried for a long time that night.
46:11She cried for every beating and insult at the Hudson's.
46:15Dad and I stayed by her side.
46:17Finally, she fell asleep in Dad's arms.
46:19Dad gently touched my head.
46:21His eyes were very serious.
46:23Stella, remember this forever.
46:27Never let yourself be someone's mistress.
46:30Rich houses look grand, but they hide deep pain.
46:34I want you to rely on yourself and live with pride.
46:38I nodded hard, tears falling down.
46:41I know, Dad.
46:42I won't let you down.
46:44I'll study medicine and train hard.
46:46I will protect you both and build our own life.
46:50I soon returned to the city pharmacy.
46:53Everything seemed to go back to normal.
46:55Until one day, I went out to deliver medicine.
46:58Two strangers suddenly blocked my path.
47:00They were strong and looked dangerous.
47:03Before I could scream, they grabbed me.
47:05They forced me into a sack.
47:06I was being kidnapped in broad daylight.
47:09When I finally woke up, I was tied to a chair in a cold warehouse.
47:14Jason and his wife Lillian stared at me.
47:17Jason wore a fake, kissing-up smile.
47:20Lillian, don't be mad.
47:23I'll use her life to force her mother to bear our child.
47:31Then we'll kick them both into the street.
47:34Lillian giggled behind her hand.
47:36She looked delicate, but her eyes were cruel.
47:38She's your daughter.
47:40Don't just throw her away.
47:42Sell her to a butcher later for some cash.
47:45My mouth was gagged, so I just glared.
47:48I cursed them a thousand times in my head.
47:50These two monsters were truly insane.
47:53Lillian left the warehouse with a smirk.
47:55Jason stayed behind and untied my gag.
47:58He snatched the hair clip from my head.
48:00He stuffed it into an envelope for blackmail.
48:03As long as I have you, your mom will obey.
48:07Once I have my son, you're useless.
48:09I'll leave you both to rot in the dirt.
48:11You bastard!
48:13Keep dreaming!
48:14My mom won't listen to a coward like you, and my dad will come and save me!
48:18Jason's face turned purple with fury.
48:20He slapped me so hard I hit the ground.
48:23Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
48:26You ungrateful brat!
48:27I ignored the pain and looked up at him.
48:32Don't be so sure it's Lillian's fault.
48:35Maybe you're the one who was broken.
48:39I remembered what the doctor once said.
48:41Jason had refused to be tested at the clinic.
48:44He claimed he already had a child.
48:46But the doctor had laughed behind his back.
48:48A life of waste and sin ruins a man.
48:51He's too ignorant to see the truth.
48:54I knew Jason's body was already failing.
48:56He was living a lie this whole time.
48:58A monster like him deserved nothing.
49:01He deserved to have his bloodline end here.
49:04I stared at him in the eyes and laughed.
49:06The terror on his face was beautiful.
49:11Jason was stung by the truth and flew into a rage.
49:14He struck me again with a heavy blow.
49:16My body trembled with pain, but I didn't make a sound.
49:19He wasn't afraid of Lillian hearing him.
49:22In fact, the harder he hit me, the better.
49:25Cruelty toward me was his way of proving a point.
49:28He wanted her to believe he had no feelings for me,
49:30and that he had long forgotten about my mother.
49:33They dragged me along for three agonizing days.
49:37I was given almost no food or water.
49:40When I was thirsty, I licked rainwater from the roof.
49:44My limbs grew numb from being bound so tight,
49:47and new bruises covered my face every single day.
49:51By the third day, I was drifting in and out of sleep.
49:55In my days, I heard a voice that made my heart leap.
49:58It was full of worry and pure, raw anger.
50:05Dad's voice thundered outside the warehouse.
50:08Jason, give me back my daughter.
50:11Jason's face turned pale the moment he heard it,
50:13but he tried to act tough and shouted back.
50:17Rick, you cripple!
50:20You dare to follow us?
50:22You don't know your place!
50:24Guards, kill him!
50:27The warehouse was filled with the sounds of chaos,
50:29shouts from the guards, and Dad's fierce roars.
50:32The fighting didn't last long at all.
50:34The silence was broken by Jason's terrified begging.
50:38Rick, have mercy!
50:40I was wrong!
50:42I'll give your daughter back.
50:43Just stop, stop hitting me!
50:45I squeezed my eyes shut, tears finally falling.
50:48My dad, the man everyone called, a cripple.
50:51He had fought through the guards to save me.
50:54I knew then, I was finally safe.
50:56The warehouse door was kicked open with a bang.
50:59Dad rushed in like a madman.
51:01He saw me tied up, covered in bruises and starving.
51:05His eyes turned red with tears and rage.
51:07He ran to me and untied the ropes with trembling hands.
51:10He pulled me into a tight, protective embrace.
51:13Still, I'm so sorry.
51:15Dad came too late.
51:17I let you suffer so much.
51:19His voice was shaking and so were his hands.
51:22Resting against his chest, I finally broke down.
51:25All the fear and pain from the last three days exploded.
51:28Meanwhile, Lillian was screaming in the corner.
51:31Her face was pale, but she still tried to act powerful.
51:34You bastard!
51:36Do you know who I am?
51:37My father is a wealthy merchant.
51:40You're dead!
51:42Dad looked at her with eyes as cold as ice.
51:45The sheer hatred in his gaze silenced her instantly.
51:48You are harboring a deserter and a fugitive.
51:52Think about whether the army will let you go.
51:57Lillian's face turned white as a sheet.
51:59She looked at Jason in total disbelief.
52:03A deserter?
52:05Jason, is he telling the truth?
52:07You told me you were honorably discharged!
52:11It turned out she knew absolutely nothing.
52:14She thought she had found a loyal, reliable husband.
52:17She had no idea she was sleeping next to a coward.
52:20How could someone so rich be so incredibly blind?
52:23She never once questioned Jason's dark past.
52:26She was just a foolish pawn in his game.
52:29I leaned against Dad.
52:31A weak smile on my lips.
52:33I looked straight at Lillian's trembling eyes.
52:36Jason had a plan for you all along.
52:39He's waiting for you to die so he can take your wealth.
52:45He only wanted my mom to bear him a son.
52:49A son to inherit your family's money.
52:53And you're still protecting him?
52:55You're such a fool.
52:58Lillian looked at Jason, her world crumbling down.
53:02Lillian trembled with rage as the truth hit her.
53:05She pointed at Jason, her voice trapped in her throat.
53:08Her vision went black, and she nearly collapsed.
53:11Before long, the military police arrived.
53:14We watched as they shackled Jason.
53:17Lillian was also taken away for investigation.
53:20Harboring a deserter is a severe crime.
53:22Dad held me tight, his eyes full of lingering fear.
53:26My precious daughter will never be hurt again.
53:29Later, Mom told me what had happened.
53:31When I didn't come home for two days, Dad went wild.
53:35He searched every corner until he got that envelope.
53:38He didn't hesitate for a second.
53:40He charged straight toward Jason's warehouse.
53:42Dad's old leg injury was acting up.
53:45Every step was agonizing, and he fell twice.
53:48He didn't care about the pain or the blood.
53:50His only thought was my safety.
53:53Because of his bravery, Jason was behind bars.
53:57And the entire Hudson family was dragged down, too.
54:00The Hudsons had known Jason was alive all along.
54:03For years, Jason had been sending them secret cash.
54:07Now they screamed that they were innocent.
54:09They claimed they knew nothing about his desertion.
54:12They turned on Jason, cursing him like demons.
54:22Jason didn't back down.
54:24He fought back just as hard.
54:25You didn't say you were innocent when you took my money?
54:28Now that we're caught, you want to blame me?
54:31Keep dreaming.
54:32We're all going down together.
54:34The whole family pointed fingers and barked like mad dogs.
54:38It was a prophetic, ridiculous sight.
54:40They finally got the ending they deserved.
54:44Lillian did not escape her fate, either.
54:46For harboring a deserter, her family assets were seized.
54:50Her life was utterly destroyed by Jason's lies.
54:55But I had no time to worry about their downfall.
54:57My only concern was my father's leg.
55:00To save me, he had run for three days and nights.
55:04His old injury had flared up completely.
55:06The pain was so sharp, he couldn't even stand.
55:09He could only lie bedridden in a state of agony.
55:11I brought him directly to the pharmacy.
55:14I became his personal nurse every single day.
55:17I gave him massages and applied herbal ointments.
55:20I followed the doctor's methods to heal his nerves.
55:24The head doctor watched me and praised my progress.
55:27Stella, you are becoming truly skilled.
55:31You will surely become a great physician.
55:35Cold sweat often poured down dad's forehead from the pain.
55:38But whenever he looked at me, he always smiled.
55:41His eyes were filled with comfort and immense pride.
55:45Our Stella has grown up so well.
55:52You truly are your father's greatest pride.
55:55In this small pharmacy, I finally saw the light.
56:01After a month of treatment, dad finally improved.
56:04He could slowly get out of bed and walk.
56:06Though he still limped, he was much more agile.
56:09The rainy days no longer kept him awake with pain.
56:13Six months later, Jason was sentenced to death.
56:16On the day of his execution, he looked like a ghost.
56:20Arrogance and greed vanished from his eyes.
56:22He finally paid for everything he owed us.
56:25This was the karma he truly deserved.
56:28Even then, some meddling elders in the village spoke up.
56:31They said I was his daughter and should bury him.
56:34Dad stood before the entire village and roared.
56:37Stella is my daughter!
56:40Rick's daughter!
56:42She has nothing to do with that bastard Jason!
56:45He glared at the gossiping crowd with fierce eyes.
56:49Jason was a deserter and a monster!
56:52Are you to his family?
56:54Are you connected to him?
56:55Should I call the army?
56:57The villagers shut their mouths in an instant.
57:00No one dared to mention Jason's name ever again.
57:03They didn't want to end up like the Hudsons or Lillian.
57:06Under my care, dad's leg was almost fully healed.
57:10Unless you looked closely, the limp was invisible.
57:13He could hunt and work the ranch like a normal man.
57:16Now, dad was the happiest man alive.
57:19He walked with a new spring in his step.
57:22Because after all the years of suffering and waiting,
57:25Mom was finally pregnant.
57:27Our true family was finally growing.
57:30The shadows of the past were gone forever.
57:33We will never, ever be apart.
