00:00When I left Ethan, he had nothing.
00:02He swept through Wall Street and used every means to marry me.
00:06Until he brought different women home every night.
00:09I moved into the study without crying or making a fuss.
00:12I picked open the door, grabbed my chin, and asked...
00:15Aren't you jealous at all?
00:17He doesn't know I'm sick. He calls it revenge.
00:20And I'm just counting the days I have left.
00:25The best gift I received on my 30th birthday was a medical diagnosis.
00:29Hereditary blood disease. Advanced stage.
00:32The targeted drug costs $80,000 per course of treatment, and insurance does not cover it.
00:37I didn't cry. I just folded the diagnosis report while wiping my nosebleed and put it into my bag.
00:43On my way home, I sent Ethan a message.
00:45It's my birthday today. He replied instantly.
00:48Working overtime, pushing open the door, there was a woman's laughter in the living room.
00:52He came downstairs from the second floor bedroom with a young woman in his arms, wearing my bathrobe.
00:58He glanced at me and said...
01:00You're back.
01:01It's like looking at a piece of furniture.
01:03I didn't say a word.
01:05I went upstairs, walked into the study, closed the door, and sat on the cardboard box.
01:10There are still 2,847 ween left in the bank card.
01:16I dialed his phone number.
01:17I want 500,000.
01:20From the other end of the phone came a woman's coquettish laughter.
01:27He calls this revenge, but I just want to live a few more days.
01:32The next day, I went to his company wearing metal clothes.
01:35At the meeting room entrance, his secretary, Vivian, carrying a cup of coffee, bumped into me head on.
01:40The coffee spilled all over me.
01:42Oh, sorry sister.
01:43I didn't say a word and sat on the corridor chair waiting.
01:48Is that Ethan's wife?
01:49She looks like she's about to die.
01:53I looked down at my yellowing fingernails and didn't retort.
01:56Don't provoke her.
01:57She just hasn't dressed up.
01:58Once she does, 10 of you combined can't compare to her.
02:00And you don't know how Ethan managed to marry her back then.
02:02If you mess with her, Ethan will be the first to destroy you.
02:10Sister, Ethan is so nice to me.
02:12He said I'm the most important person to him.
02:15I took the tea and took a sip.
02:17Then I looked at her and softly asked.
02:21Then why is he still reluctant to divorce and marry you?
02:23Her face changed instantly.
02:25Some questions, the answers to which she already knew long ago, but no one dared to ask.
02:31Vivian was hit right in the sore spot by my words.
02:33She got impatient and reached out to grab my teacup.
02:36Jessica tried to hold her back, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground,
02:40with her palm cut and bleeding by the broken porcelain shards.
02:43The door of the meeting room was kicked open with one foot.
02:46Ethan rushed out, and his first glance was not at me but at her.
02:49He crouched down, pulling her into his arms.
02:51Then he looked up, his gaze stabbing over like a knife.
02:55Who did it?
02:59I did it.
03:01She deserved it.
03:03It's all my fault.
03:05I shouldn't have fallen in love with you.
03:07Don't cry anymore.
03:09Want money?
03:10First apologize to Vivian.
03:14Forget it.
03:15I turned around and walked out of the corridor step by step.
03:18Behind me was Vivian's triumphant crying.
03:19At the entrance of the building, I held onto the railing as blood flowed from my nose.
03:23The phone rang.
03:25The hospital was urging payment.
03:27I looked up at the sky and whispered,
03:30Mom, I'll see you soon.
03:32Between dignity and life, I chose dignity.
03:35But I'm really running out of time.
03:37Late at night, Grace curled up on the study bed and took two sleeping pills.
03:44Half asleep and half awake, she returned to the age of 20.
03:49On her birthday, the two passed by a dessert shop.
03:52She leaned on the window, looking at a strawberry cake, then said with a smile,
03:56Ethan, doesn't this snow look like cream?
03:59Ethan didn't say a word, pulling her into his arms.
04:03His eyes red.
04:09Three days later, holding the cake in his hands.
04:17She cried and said,
04:19I don't deserve to eat such an expensive cake.
04:21Don't decide for me whether you deserve it or not.
04:23You're the best girl in the world.
04:25You deserve all the good things in life.
04:31In the memory, she cried while finishing the cake.
04:34In reality, Grace, half awake, picked up her phone and dialed Ethan's number.
04:44Ethan, it's snowing.
04:48I want cake.
04:49Then he hung up, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.
05:02Oh my gosh.
05:04Oh my gosh.
05:04What should I do?
05:05I'm red.
05:11A day she sat through a bedroom.
05:15I can't believe.
05:16I'm red.
05:17tears, but still picked up the cake and walked to the kitchen.
05:23You dare to throw it away?
05:25Dracked her by the neck and pinned her against the wall, angrily asking if she was playing
05:29again.
05:29Grace laughed and admitted it.
05:31Yes, you're so gullible.
05:34Ethan, out of control, dragged her into the bedroom and threw her onto the bed.
05:39You're so dirty!
05:41Teared her face, bit my neck, and trembled as he begged her not to torture him anymore.
05:51At this moment, Vivian called for help.
05:53Ethan, someone is following me.
05:55I'm so scared.
05:57Can you come pick me up?
05:59Beg me to stay.
06:00Beg me, and I won't leave.
06:02You don't deserve.
06:05Ethan let out a bitter laugh, slammed the door, and laughed.
06:10Grace slumped to the ground, and her nosebleed gushed out instantly.
06:16Grace's phone suddenly lit up.
06:17Showing that 500,000 UN had been transferred into her bank account with a glaring postscript.
06:23This is to buy your dignity.
06:25Keep it better next time.
06:27The next day, a video of Ethan's client forbidding the bar was passed across the internet, causing
06:33an optimal and public opinion.
06:36Reporters blocked the entrance of the apartment, and as soon as Grace stepped out, pressed for
06:40her views on her husband's infidelity.
06:42What's your view on your husband's extramarital affair?
06:45She responded indifferently.
06:46A liar?
06:47A mistress in the know?
06:48What do you want me to say?
06:49I heard you dumped him for money.
06:51Now that he's rich, you're not leaving.
06:52Is that true?
06:54Don't you think you're bullying her by pestering her like this?
06:56Just as Grace stopped walking, her nosebleed suddenly dripped.
07:00Fake.
07:00Great acting.
07:02I'm not sad.
07:04I'm dying.
07:05Bleeding a little bit from the nose and already acting like you're about to die?
07:08I've never seen someone so fond of putting on a show.
07:11Grace stopped explaining and turned away.
07:15That night, as she was packing her hospital luggage.
07:18Where are you going?
07:19Hospital.
07:20Take your hand away.
07:24Fane illness.
07:25The materialistic woman who dumped him when he was poor.
07:28Now that he's found true love, she won't let go.
07:31It's disgusting.
07:32What magic did she cast on Ethan?
07:34A wave of scolding swept across the entire internet.
07:37I will never divorce Grace.
07:39Stop harassing my wife.
07:41Ethan issued a public statement.
07:43In the ward, the nurse looked at her with disdain.
07:46Chloe rushed in to defend her.
07:48Take a look at these comments.
07:50I will fight back one by one.
07:52Facing Chloe's questioning, Grace remained silent.
07:55No need.
07:55I don't care.
07:58What do you care about?
08:02An anonymous comment defended that she left not for money back then.
08:05Scott was instantly drowned out by a chorus of scolding.
08:09Just then.
08:10Sister, I've come to see you.
08:13Go out.
08:15Ethan gave it to me.
08:16I broke it.
08:17He said it was just a worthless piece of junk anyway.
08:20Deliberately provoking Grace.
08:22You bitch!
08:29That was left to me by my mother.
08:32My voice is trembling.
08:33Vivian laughed instead.
08:36Your mother?
08:37Dead and still leaving behind trash?
08:40Like mother, like daughter.
08:42I didn't let her finish speaking.
08:45A slap landed hard on her face.
08:47She shrieked and lunged at me, and we grappled with each other.
08:51Chloe rushed in to break it up, and Ethan followed.
08:54He yanked Vivian away and shielded her behind him.
08:58Are you crazy?
09:01That was given to me by my mom.
09:03You gave it to her?
09:05A piece of junk.
09:06Is it really necessary?
09:08I'm dying.
09:09You know I'm dying.
09:11You still treat me like this?
09:13What, are you going to lack this?
09:14Yeah.
09:14I'm stuck, Gus!
09:15You were the one who threw the cake first.
09:17Stop pretending.
09:20He said I was acting.
09:22Then my nosebleed gushed out and wouldn't stop.
09:25I staggered and fell.
09:26He reached out and caught me.
09:28Blood stained his white shirt.
09:30He finally panicked.
09:32Call a doctor!
09:34Quick, call a doctor!
09:35He finally believed, but I could no longer hear clearly.
09:38The light in the emergency room had been on for a very long time.
09:41When I was unconscious, I heard Ethan crying.
09:44Finally, the doctor emerged.
09:46Ethan rushed forward abruptly, his voice forced.
09:49She stopped treatment three months ago.
09:52It's progressed too far.
09:54We can only keep her stable.
09:56Then do it!
09:57I don't care what it costs!
09:59She signed a DNR herself.
10:01And her medical authorized person?
10:03Not you.
10:04The clattering of high heels came sharply,
10:07and Chloe walked up to Ethan,
10:08raising her hand and slapping him.
10:12Now you want to play the good husband?
10:14Too late.
10:15Chloe threw the file in his face.
10:18She's afraid of pain.
10:20Do you know how she spent these three years?
10:22Do you know where the hell you were?
10:24In whose bed?
10:25When she was rivaling on the floor in agony?
10:27Ethan instantly collapsed to his knees.
10:31She's right.
10:32I've already signed the do not resuscitate agreement,
10:34and I'm not even his medical power of attorney.
10:36I don't want to die.
10:38I'm just in too much pain.
10:39You said goodbyes matter.
10:41You haven't said goodbye to me yet.
10:46Grace opened her eyes.
10:50And her first words were,
10:52Stop crying.
10:52It's so noisy.
10:54Chloe laughed and cried.
10:55Grace smiled weakly and said,
10:57If you scold me again,
10:58I'll kill myself right in front of you.
11:00At the door of the ward,
11:01Ethan stood.
11:03He still clutched the blood-stained white shirt in his hand,
11:06which he hadn't changed for three days.
11:08Chloe slammed the door shut.
11:10She doesn't want to see you.
11:12So, Ethan stood at the door all night,
11:14then knelt down.
11:21The nurse came to persuade him,
11:23but he didn't get up.
11:24The attending doctor came to persuade him,
11:26but he still didn't get up.
11:31When dawn broke, the door opened.
11:33Grace leaned against the headboard,
11:35glanced at him, and said,
11:36Sign the divorce papers.
11:38Ethan knelt and shuffled in,
11:40took her hand, his lips chapped and bleeding.
11:42No.
11:43I'm dying.
11:44Even if you die, I'm still your husband.
11:50Do whatever you want.
11:55On the day Grace was discharged from the hospital,
11:57Chloe pushed the wheelchair,
11:58while Ethan followed behind like a shadow.
11:59Do you want to know why I left you back then?
12:04Before my mother passed away,
12:06she held my hand and said,
12:07Leave Ethan.
12:08Your illness might be genetic.
12:10Don't hurt him.
12:11I didn't believe it at the time.
12:12I thought I'd be fine.
12:14Later, I started having nosebleeds,
12:16each time more severe than the last.
12:18I got tested, and it was positive.
12:23I want to tell you that when I came to find you,
12:25you were holding another woman in your arms,
12:27drunk, and said,
12:29Don't expect me to love you.
12:30So I didn't say anything.
12:33I deliberately said,
12:34I look down on your poverty,
12:35because only then would you hate me and forget me.
12:38Ethan's hands were shaking.
12:39Why didn't you say so earlier?
12:41Why, if I tell you, would you believe me?
12:47Ethan was speechless.
12:48He rushed out of the car,
12:49crouched by the roadside,
12:51and pounded his fist on the ground.
12:52His skin split, and flesh was torn.
12:55The phone vibrated.
12:56A text message from Vivian.
12:57I'm pregnant, and it's yours.
13:02Grace, I'm begging you.
13:04Give me back the father of my child.
13:06You're dying anyway.
13:08Why hang on to the title?
13:09I looked at her and smiled, saying,
13:11Sure.
13:12Fine.
13:13Let Ethan come and talk to me himself.
13:15Vivian grabbed Grace's hand.
13:17Chloe rushed in,
13:18grabbed her hair,
13:19and dragged her out.
13:21Touch her again,
13:22and see what happens.
13:26Ethan also rushed over.
13:28I told you,
13:30stay the hell away from her.
13:31He grabbed Vivian by the hair,
13:32and dragged her out of the door.
13:33Vivian screamed.
13:34I'm pregnant with your child!
13:36He froze for a second,
13:38but didn't let go of his hand,
13:40dragging her into the stairwell.
13:44Half an hour later,
13:46he returned,
13:47reeking of tobacco,
13:48standing at the foot of the bed,
13:50hesitating to speak.
13:51I closed my eyes and said,
13:53don't say anything.
13:54The baby.
13:57I'll deal with it.
13:58Whatever you do,
13:59it's none of my business.
14:00Grace.
14:01Get out.
14:04My body suddenly got better.
14:06He can get out of bed,
14:08walk,
14:08and even has a bit of color in his face.
14:11I know,
14:12this is a flashback.
14:14Come shopping with me.
14:16She was so happy that she cried,
14:19combed my hair,
14:19and did my makeup.
14:21In the bridal shop,
14:22she walked out wearing a white satin wedding dress.
14:26This one,
14:27I'll give it to you.
14:28She shook her head.
14:29It's too expensive.
14:30I didn't say a word.
14:32While she was changing clothes,
14:34I secretly swiped the card.
14:36In the fitting room,
14:37am I good looking?
14:40It's nice.
14:42I'll still be your bridesmaid in the next life.
14:45Stop talking.
14:47I'm going to the restroom.
14:50I didn't go to the bathroom.
14:52I took a taxi and went to the cemetery.
14:55In front of my mother's tombstone,
14:57I placed a bag of persimmons and fragments of an angel,
15:00then leaned against the marble and closed my eyes.
15:03The phone rang.
15:05It was Chloe.
15:06Once,
15:07twice,
15:07tenth time.
15:08Sorry.
15:09This time,
15:10I really have to go.
15:11When Chloe found me,
15:13I was leaning against the tombstone,
15:15looking as if I were asleep.
15:17Grace.
15:18She called me by my nickname,
15:19her voice trembling.
15:21There was no response.
15:22She didn't cry.
15:24She just held me in her arms.
15:26The hospital has declared me dead.
15:29The body donation was signed by me during my lifetime.
15:32When Ethan arrived,
15:33the hospital ward was already empty.
15:36Where is her?
15:39Donor information is confidential.
15:41He smashed the hospital ward,
15:43pushed the nurse,
15:44and was pinned to the ground by the security guard.
15:47With his face pressed against the cold floor tiles,
15:50he finally cried.
15:55He returned home and opened the fridge.
15:58The strawberry cake he bought last time was still there.
16:01He couldn't bear to throw it away.
16:03He took it out,
16:04took a bite,
16:05and spat it out.
16:06He pressed the cake into the trash.
16:08It's not sweet.
16:09Squatted down and hugged his knees,
16:11just like he did when he was 20.
16:13Only this time,
16:14no one would ever hand him a tissue again.
16:21After my death,
16:22Ethan finally checked the child's DNA.
16:36Ethan lit a cigar and slowly revealed the truth.
16:39That day at the bar,
16:40Vivian was dragged into the restroom,
16:43and by the time he arrived,
16:45it was already too late.
16:46He pitted her and gave her a sum of money.
16:49Later,
16:50she said she was pregnant,
16:51and he thought it was the result of that time,
16:54feeling that he hadn't protected her well.
16:56So you're trying to cling to me?
16:57Ethan,
16:58I was wrong.
16:58I was really wrong.
16:59Marry me,
17:00and the baby will take your surname after birth.
17:02I'll do whatever you say.
17:06If you don't marry me,
17:07I'll tell the media that you pushed me down the stairs
17:09and that you aborted the baby in my belly.
17:11Your wife just died,
17:12and you're already killing your own child.
17:14See if you still be considered a human.
17:15Ethan looked at her as if she were a dead person.
17:21You try.
17:24At that moment,
17:26I knew Vivian didn't have long to live.
17:32Vivian really sent a threatening text message.
17:35Ethan asked her to meet him in the stairwell.
17:39I'm asking you one word to marry me or not.
17:42Do you know how my wife died?
17:45What's that got to do with me?
17:49She never hated me until her death.
17:52But I will hate myself.
17:54She grew impatient.
17:56Don't act all lovey-dovey with me.
17:58Didn't you also have an affair back then?
18:01Shut up.
18:03He took a step forward.
18:06And she took a step backward.
18:13You killed her.
18:15She screamed and pushed him.
18:17How the hell is that my problem?
18:18Stay the hell away from me!
18:19He pushed back.
18:20She missed a step.
18:21Rolled down the stairs,
18:23hit their head on the corner of the wall,
18:25twitched twice in a pool of blood,
18:27and then stopped moving.
18:29He stood on the stairs,
18:30looking down for a long time.
18:32The voice-activated light went out,
18:34came back on,
18:35and then went out again.
18:38When he got home,
18:39he said to the empty living room,
18:41and Ming,
18:42Grace, no one can bother us now.
18:44He finally avenged me,
18:46but I'm not happy at all.
18:49Acute stress disorder,
18:50without criminal liability capacity
18:52at the time of the crime.
18:56He was admitted to a mental hospital,
18:58a narrow bed,
18:59and bars on the window.
19:01On the nightstand sits an angel statue
19:03glued together,
19:04covered in cracks.
19:06The nurse came to deliver the medicine,
19:08and he shook his head.
19:09My wife doesn't like the smell of medicine.
19:12Is this your wife?
19:14She's just asleep.
19:15When she wakes up,
19:17we're still going to have strawberry cake.
19:20When the doctor made his rounds,
19:22he asked him,
19:23What's her name?
19:25Anne Mung.
19:27Where did she go?
19:35She doesn't want me anymore.
19:40No, she won't.
19:41She said that in the next life,
19:43she still wants to be my wife.
19:45He remembers every word I said
19:47and every expression.
19:48I just don't remember that when I said,
19:51next life,
19:51there was a bridesmaid dress beside me
19:54and Chloe's white wedding dress in front of me.
19:57He's crazy,
19:58but everything he remembers is true.
20:05Anonymous whistleblower post exploded overnight.
20:08The accompanying pictures are my mother's death certificate
20:10and my medical diagnosis report.
20:13Comments are going wild.
20:15Those who have scolded her owe her an apology.
20:18Chloe looked at her phone without smiling.
20:20She placed the phone face down on the table
20:22and said to her daughter,
20:24I mean, we can't I tell this.
20:28Mom will tell you a story.
20:30There's an aunt and she's the best.
20:33Ethan held his phone,
20:34looking at those comments
20:35and tears fell drop by drop onto the screen.
20:38He turned to the statue and said,
20:40look.
20:41See,
20:42they finally know you're a good person.
20:45The nurse came in to collect the phone.
20:47It's time to hand in your phone.
20:48And he quickly hid it under the pillow.
20:50Don't tell her.
20:51She doesn't like seeing these.
20:53He made a shoe gesture at the statue
20:55and smiled gently.
20:57There are birds singing outside the window.
20:59Spring has come.
21:00It's a pity that I can no longer smell
21:03the fragrance of flowers.
21:05Chloe came to see him.
21:06Through the glass,
21:08she pasted the group photo on it.
21:10In the photo,
21:11I was wearing a bridesmaid dress.
21:13I'll get that statue.
21:14I want to put it in front of her grave.
21:17She has no tomb.
21:18She donated her body.
21:20Chloe took a small box out of her bag
21:22and pushed it over.
21:24He opens.
21:25Inside is a perfectly intact blue angel
21:27with his birthday engraved on the base.
21:30There's also a note in my handwriting.
21:32This one is yours.
21:34I've been keeping it all along.
21:36He placed the blue angel
21:37and the cracked pink angel side by side.
21:40He cried without making a sound.
21:45Chloe turned around,
21:46took two steps,
21:47then looked back.
21:49She never regretted loving you until her death.
21:51He didn't look up.
21:53On the glass window,
21:54that photo has been bleached by the sunlight.
21:57My smiling face is a bit blurred,
22:00as if covered by a layer of mist.
22:02It turned out that by the time he received that angel,
22:05I was already gone.
22:07Five years later,
22:09Chloe walked to the tree with a little girl.
22:11There is no tombstone.
22:13Mom, who is this aunt?
22:15She is mom's best friend.
22:17Where did she go?
22:19She went to a very far place.
22:21She won't come back,
22:22but she has always been here.
22:26Mom, a ladybug!
22:28At the same time,
22:29in the mental hospital,
22:31Ethan has aged.
22:32The weather is nice today.
22:34Let's go out for a walk.
22:35He stood up,
22:37supported himself against the wall,
22:38and slowly walked to the window.
22:41Look, it's snowing.
22:47I'll go buy you a cake.
22:49How about strawberry flavor?
22:50The nurse didn't say a word
22:52and gently put a coat on him.
22:58At the end of the corridor,
23:00sunlight spreads all over the ground.
23:02Some people spend their whole lives loving,
23:05but only learn to lose.
23:06Let's go look Alert.
23:06Some people get used to Horus.
23:06and they look like aי� grains.
23:07She shows that 엄마,
23:07she gives us fingerprints.
23:07Save her strength and children.
