Short filmTranscript
00:00For two years, I've been a human punching bag in a playground boxing bag.
00:03I finally saved enough money for my son, Finn's surgery.
00:06But my husband, Silas, for the fifth time, just handed it over to his childhood bestie, Lily.
00:12$500,000, the exact amount for the surgery.
00:15But the last fight crushed my organs, I'll never make that money again.
00:18So I grabbed my boxing gloves, cornered Lily in the room.
00:22Give me back the money!
00:24Silas signed, unwillingly.
00:26He convinced her to give the money back to me.
00:28But on the day my son was on the emergency surgery, the payment failed.
00:32My account was empty.
00:33At the same time, Lily updated an Instagram post.
00:36Got scared by a psycho today, but this $500,000 diamond necklace hits different thanks to my bro, Silas.
00:43I blew up Silas's phone, but he only picked up to lash out at me.
00:46Valerie, you were way too aggressive.
00:48Lily had a heart attack because of you.
00:50I have to stay here and help her recover.
00:52Silas, our son, Finn, is dying.
00:55I'm a doctor.
00:56I know my son's condition best.
00:57He's not that fragile.
00:59He can wait a little longer.
01:00Once my research grant comes in, I'll take him straight into surgery.
01:02I hung up the phone calmly.
01:04With the last of my savings, I bought two plots in the same cemetery, next to each other.
01:08One for my son, and one for me.
01:10As I held my son's body, growing cold in my arms, I sent one final message to Silas.
01:15Silas, I want a divorce.
01:24Stop acting out, Valerie.
01:26Lily had a heart attack because you scared her that day.
01:29She's in way worse condition than Finn.
01:31You know, Finn, he has a chronic illness.
01:33He can wait a few days.
01:34Once Lil's is stable, I will find a way to cover for his surgery.
01:38When I closed my eyes, I saw Finn's face before he died, over and over again.
01:43Mommy, if Daddy comes, will it stop hurting?
01:47It's okay if it hurts, as long as Daddy comes to see me.
01:51I just want to see him one last time to fall asleep.
01:54But till Finn finally passed, Silas never showed up.
01:57It doesn't matter anymore.
02:00Silas, for you, is Lily more important than me and our son?
02:04I owe her.
02:05Can you just try to understand me for once?
02:10Your wife is causing a scene again?
02:12Seriously, what a drama queen.
02:14Yeah, yeah.
02:15Can't expect everyone to be as sweet as you, right?
02:18Just chill, Lil's.
02:20Your heart can't take it.
02:21Valerie, I just heard.
02:23Silas got that money, but he needed it for his research,
02:26so I suggested he borrow yours.
02:29Who knew he'd go along with me this much?
02:31If you really need it, I'll just have him pay you back.
02:34How dare this jerk treat you like this?
02:36I'm gonna tear into him.
02:37My tears dripped onto the screen.
02:40Every time Silas's bonus come in,
02:42it would always be borrowed by Lily for her heart condition.
02:45Silas always said he owed Lily,
02:47so whatever she asked, he agreed.
02:49That's why when our son was so ill,
02:51but I had no money to treat him.
02:52No choice.
02:53I had to go to the underground boxing
02:55to be a human punching bag.
02:57The messages from the underground boxing manager kept popping up.
03:01Valerie.
03:01A big client just came in.
03:02He hits hard, but he pays well.
03:04One hour of this,
03:04and you'll have enough of your son's surgery.
03:06If you're coming, better do it fast.
03:10In the past, even if my organs were crushed,
03:12I would always sign up for it.
03:14The chill from my son's body seeped into my bones.
03:17I'm not coming.
03:18Never again.
03:19I ignored the string of surprised question marks sent by the manager.
03:23The morgue was freezing,
03:24and Finn never liked the cold.
03:26He must be suffering.
03:27Can I get a blanket, please?
03:30My son is afraid of the cold.
03:34Here you go, ma'am.
03:36Let the little one leave in peace.
03:39Thanks.
03:40You should thank Dr. Silas for it.
03:42He has a friend staying here.
03:43Sure, we take good care of his friend.
03:45Dr. Silas gave every staff a gift.
03:48Even this blanket costs a few thousand.
03:50Spending that much on her.
03:52Guessing she's his girlfriend.
03:54I froze for a moment,
03:56remembering how desperate I was when my son was dying.
03:58I knelt before every doctor but still couldn't pay the surgery.
04:01My tears suddenly wouldn't stop.
04:03Yeah, thank you, Dr. Silas.
04:04Where's his dad?
04:06Why isn't he here?
04:07If his dad could have come up with the money,
04:09this poor kid wouldn't have ended up here, right?
04:11His dad is gone.
04:14Felt guilty.
04:15The nurse wanted to apologize,
04:17but didn't know what else to say.
04:18When I was signing the paperwork,
04:20I happened to run into Silas rushing past,
04:22holding Lily.
04:23Get out of my way!
04:25But Silas didn't even look at me.
04:27He just ran past.
04:28In a panic, he shouted at the doctor.
04:31Dr. Lewis, check on Lily!
04:32Now!
04:34Simus, I told you.
04:35You just bumped into someone?
04:37Go on, apologize.
04:38The doctor said I'm fine.
04:40I'm not some fragile, troubled woman.
04:44Huh.
04:44So the one you knocked into
04:46is your wife, Valerie?
04:50Oh, come on, Valerie.
04:53Silas barely touched you.
04:55How did you end up on the floor?
04:57I asked him to take me to the doctor.
05:00And you're throwing a tantrum?
05:02Don't be so petty.
05:05All right, go on.
05:06Go comfort her.
05:09Yeah, Valerie.
05:10Did I push you that hard?
05:12And here you go again with that 500k drama.
05:15My heart went ice cold.
05:16I steadied myself against the wall,
05:18trying to stand.
05:21Ew, Valerie.
05:23What's that smell on you?
05:24It stinks.
05:26Silas is working at this hospital
05:28for God's sake.
05:30Look at yourself.
05:31Valerie, you're a mess.
05:32You do smell pretty bad.
05:34How long haven't you showered?
05:35Just go home!
05:35After Finn passed away,
05:37I held him till his body began to turn.
05:40Yeah, of course I stink!
05:42That's exactly your son's!
05:44Dr. Silas?
05:46Aren't you off today?
05:47What are you here for?
05:51And this is...
05:52For years,
05:54Silas claimed that at the hospital,
05:56he needed to stay professional.
05:57Besides,
05:58if the staff knew he had a son,
06:00and he was so close with Lily,
06:01rumors would fly.
06:02So,
06:03he had never mentioned me or Finn at the hospital.
06:05Oh,
06:06Lily's staying here.
06:07This is the caregiver I hired for her.
06:14Valerie,
06:15I didn't mean it.
06:17It's just that,
06:18as a doctor,
06:18I need to keep up appearances,
06:20you know?
06:21What appearances?
06:22Valerie,
06:23Silas is a respected doctor here.
06:25Look at you,
06:26dressed like a beggar,
06:27a total hag.
06:28You want the whole hospital to laugh at him?
06:31For having a wife like you?
06:32Silas said nothing,
06:34silently agreeing.
06:42That was paid by my pain,
06:44my scars,
06:45and my son's life!
06:50But before I could even touch her,
06:52he ran out of the piercing scream.
06:53Silas,
06:53my high heart!
06:54It's aching so much!
06:56Please don't hit me,
06:57Valerie!
06:58Before I could even react,
07:00Silas swung a head of the palm across my face,
07:02making me dizzy.
07:03Silas carefully scooped Lily into his arms.
07:05Valerie,
07:06you know Lily has heart problems,
07:07and you still tried to hurt her?
07:10Sure,
07:10she has heart problems.
07:11Then what about my Finn?
07:14Does his heart condition not count?
07:17I wish I could punch the life out of her!
07:20Don't you dare!
07:22My scalp felt like it was tearing.
07:23I could feel the blood starting to seep out.
07:25My phone spit out of my pocket,
07:27and Silas saw the payment confirmation
07:28from the cemetery popping up.
07:33Silas frowned and shoved me hard against the wall.
07:36Valerie,
07:36what the hell is wrong with you?
07:37You're actually cursing our son to spice me?
07:41Silas rushed toward the ward,
07:42holding Lily,
07:43wailing in his arms.
07:44Tell Finn to wait for me.
07:45I'll perform the surgery myself.
07:47He's going to be perfectly fine.
07:49Listen, Valerie,
07:50once I'm through all these,
07:51I'll make it up to you and Finn.
07:53I thought of the last two years.
07:54Finn's been tortured by his heart condition.
07:56But he was always so optimistic,
07:58trying to comfort me.
08:01It's okay, Mommy.
08:02Don't be sad.
08:06Daddy is a superhero doctor.
08:11He trusted Silas so much,
08:13but Silas never came even after he passed.
08:15I spat out a mouthful of blood,
08:16the bitterness coating my tongue.
08:18I just bought some painkillers
08:19and left the hospital to finish Finn's paperwork.
08:22I spent every cent I had to pay off the burial plots,
08:24but when the day came to pay,
08:25the card declined again.
08:27Sir, please,
08:28just try one more time.
08:34Simus,
08:34pay for Lily's treatment as you like,
08:36but use your own damn money.
08:37Give me my money back.
08:39My money is all tied up in research.
08:41You'll get yours when the bonus comes through.
08:43After what you did to Lily yesterday,
08:45forcing her back in the hospital,
08:46you actually have the nerve to ask for money?
08:49Give me my money back.
08:50Silas,
08:50are you sure you're taking that money?
08:52You better prepared for the curse coming with it.
08:54Both of you!
08:54If you're so desperate for money,
08:56when your boss offered that extra shift,
08:57why did you turn it down?
08:58When he called me,
08:58I was feeling bad.
08:59I thought you were working hard.
09:00Why don't you go, huh?
09:01I froze.
09:02I never thought the underground boxing manager
09:04would reach out to him.
09:08Silas,
09:09if I go back there,
09:10I'll die.
09:11I never told Silas or Finn
09:12what I actually did for work.
09:13I didn't want them to worry,
09:15but I just didn't get it.
09:16Silas could care so much for a friend,
09:18but give zero shits about his wife and son,
09:20not even if we're dead or alive.
09:22I'm begging you,
09:23please.
09:24I really can't go back there.
09:26Just give me my money back.
09:28He went silent for a moment.
09:30Finally,
09:30he gave in.
09:31Fine.
09:33I'll transfer it to you.
09:34I hung up,
09:35relieved.
09:36Now I could finally buy Finn a plot,
09:37but I waited for morning until dusk
09:39and the money never arrived.
09:42Instead,
09:42the boxing manager called me.
09:47Where the hell are you?
09:49Husband said you agreed to come back
09:50and told me to pick you up.
09:52You're the best sandbag we've got.
09:54The regulars are all asking for you.
09:56He even took a 30% deposit.
09:58If you back out now,
10:00I'll kill you.
10:03Fine.
10:04I'm coming.
10:04I asked how much I'd get besides the deposit.
10:06The manager gave me a number.
10:09It wasn't enough for two burial spots.
10:11It was only enough for one.
10:13Fine.
10:13I'll use this broken body of mine
10:15to buy Finn a decent place to rest.
10:19The client this time was a real psycho.
10:22He didn't allow me to wear any protective gear.
10:34You better catch every punch.
10:36Dodge once,
10:38and you can kiss the money goodbye.
10:39Fists rained down like clutch hammers,
10:41hitting my nose,
10:42my forehead,
10:43my chest.
10:43I could hear the dull blood
10:45of my own bones shattering,
10:46but I didn't dodge.
10:47Not even once.
10:49Finn is still waiting for me.
10:51He's already gone,
10:52I won't let his soul wander alone
10:53just because of me.
10:54By the end,
10:55I couldn't feel the pain anymore.
10:58Even the manager looked at me
10:59with a hint of panic,
11:00asking if I was still okay.
11:02Pay me.
11:07I wiped the blood from my face
11:08and bought the smallest burial plot.
11:10The paperwork went fast.
11:12I sent Finn into the incinerator,
11:14watched him turn into a handful of ash.
11:17Silas' voice messages popped up.
11:22I was just pissed off by what you said earlier.
11:26That's why I agreed to your manager.
11:28If you really don't want to take that shift,
11:30it's fine.
11:30I'll cover Finn's surgery.
11:32I can take care of you both.
11:33It's been a while since I saw him.
11:35I miss him too.
11:36I bought him his favorite Lego kit.
11:40Come to the hospital tonight,
11:42and we'll bring it to him together.
11:43Okay?
11:46At the end of the voice note,
11:48Lily's voice cut in with a giggle.
11:50Hey, Silas.
11:51Using your wife's money to buy me stuff again?
11:53Aren't you afraid she'll lose it on you?
11:57I held the cold urn.
11:59I gently lowered Finn's ash into the grave.
12:01Using every last ounce of my strength,
12:03I hugged the headstone.
12:04My body felt heavier and heavier.
12:06My eyes slowly shut.
12:08Finn,
12:09even though I couldn't afford a grave next to you.
12:12If I hold you like this,
12:15Mommy can stay with you forever, right?
12:23Flicker of anxiety crossed his mind,
12:25but I no longer seemed eager at the mention of him finally going to see Finn.
12:28He kept checking his phone,
12:30but the first message to arrive was from the boxing manager.
12:33Your wife wasn't right today.
12:37Look, we signed a death waiver.
12:39If she dies, you can't pin it on us.
12:42What the hell are you talking about?
12:45You said this was just a normal part-time job.
12:49Why would she sign a death waiver?
12:51The manager didn't reply.
12:52Instead, Silas received an unknown call from the cemetery.
13:01Mr. Silas, I am so sorry for your loss.
13:04We found Miss Valerie in front of her son's grave.
13:07She was hugging the headstone,
13:08but unfortunately no vital signs.
13:10When we found her,
13:11she was bleeding everywhere.
13:12The blood on the ground was already dry.
13:16Are you sure?
13:19That's Valerie and Finn?
13:21Where are they now?
13:22That's impossible.
13:23She was arguing on the phone this morning,
13:25and I had hired a caregiver for Finn.
13:27They hadn't told him a thing.
13:29Are you falling for her tricks again?
13:31For all these years,
13:33every time you've spent money on my treatment
13:34or spent time with me,
13:36she always tricked you and brought out the whole drama.
13:39She's definitely just acting out
13:40because I borrowed her money,
13:42so she's faking death to scam us.
13:43Job that beats people to death?
13:45That doesn't exist anymore.
13:46And if something really happened to Finn,
13:48the caregiver would have told you.
13:52Lily was panicking inside.
13:54She had bribed Finn's caregiver long ago,
13:56telling them never to report anything about Finn.
13:59Could that little chack actually died?
14:03Simus, my heart.
14:04It hurts so much.
14:06It's even worse than back then
14:07when the traffickers kicked me in the chest.
14:10Lily's words dragged Silas back
14:11into their childhood memories.
14:13They were neighbors, besties.
14:15When they were five,
14:16they wandered off
14:16and were caught by human traffickers.
14:20Silas was crying nonstop,
14:21angered the traffickers.
14:22As he was taking punches,
14:24Lily had shielded him,
14:26getting dragged away to take a brutal beating.
14:28I'm sorry.
14:29Ever since then,
14:30Lily's health had been poor.
14:32She developed heart conditions.
14:34But I want to go confirm it
14:36for my own peace of mind.
14:37If it turns out fake,
14:38I'll teach Valerie a lesson this is...
14:40We know Mativ Medik and you know her.
14:42If you go,
14:42aren't you just right into her hands
14:44and humiliating me?
14:45I know I'm a burden you
14:46if you want to deal with me anymore.
14:47Seeing Lily's downcast face,
14:49Silas stopped insisting.
14:50But a nameless fury burned in his chest.
14:54Don't be silly, Lils.
14:55I'll never leave you behind.
14:56But I have to perform the surgery for him soon.
15:00Valerie works hard to make money
15:02and Finn's condition can't be delayed anymore.
15:04I must care for my own family.
15:10I don't know who you're talking about,
15:12so stop bothering me.
15:12You can't scam me.
15:13Isn't the cemetery just there
15:15to deal the quits to the people?
15:16Just figure it out to Bilsings.
15:23The cemetery staff had no choice.
15:25They sent my cold,
15:26unrecognizable body to the crematorium.
15:30My ashes were stored away in a freezer
15:32at the crematorium, unclaimed.
15:35After the cremation,
15:36I felt light.
15:37It was as if my soul had finally
15:38clawed its way out from under
15:40that pile of gray ash.
15:41I didn't want to be near him,
15:42but an invisible tether
15:43dragged me back to the hospital.
15:46Right to Silas's side.
15:47I watched, numb,
15:49as Silas hovered over Lily,
15:50tending to her every whim.
15:52Everyone in this hospital
15:53knew about Silas
15:54and his childhood bestie.
15:55People gossiped.
15:56I mean,
15:57who treats it just a friend like that?
15:59Silas kept his face a mask of calm.
16:02Yet,
16:02I could see the cracks.
16:04He was restless.
16:05Ever since that phone call,
16:06he'd been desperate for Lily
16:08to stabilize so he could leave.
16:10The moment he turned to go,
16:11Lily grabbed him from behind,
16:13her arms locking around his waist.
16:17Simus, please.
16:19Don't go.
16:20We've known each other for 20 years.
16:22Don't tell me I'm just a friend to you.
16:24I don't believe it.
16:25You've been so good to me.
16:26You're telling me there's nothing else,
16:27no other feelings at all?
16:29I'm ready, Silas.
16:30I'll even love Finn like he's my own son.
16:36Lily, enough.
16:38All these years,
16:39it's only ever been friendship
16:41and guilt.
16:43Don't,
16:44don't ever say something like that again.
16:46If Valeria and Finn heard,
16:48they'd be devastated.
16:48Hearing that made my soul scream.
16:50Now he's worried about us being devastated?
16:53Silas shoves Lily aside,
16:54his fingers fumbling with his phone
16:55as he tried to call me,
16:57like he couldn't wait to see me.
16:58The phone you dialed.
17:00The call didn't go through.
17:01He sighed,
17:01assuming I was still just holding a grudge
17:03and shot off a string of texts instead.
17:06Seeing those words,
17:07I trembled with pure,
17:09cold rage.
17:10We had a chance to be a family.
17:12He didn't lose it,
17:13he executed it.
17:14Silas hurried to his son's ward.
17:16He had it all figured out,
17:17if the kid was there,
17:18I'd be there too.
17:22He even stopped to buy a cake,
17:24a fancy berry chantilly,
17:25Finn's favorite.
17:26He remembered that when Finn was stuck in the hospital,
17:28his taste buds were so dull from the meds.
17:31Looking at that perfect cake,
17:32I felt a wave of nausea.
17:33Finn's last birthday was spent in a hospital bed.
17:36He had picked out that exact cake
17:37and begged his dad to bring it.
17:38He waited for hours.
17:39Staring at the door until his eyes grew heavy.
17:41But Silas never showed.
17:43He didn't even pick up the phone,
17:44when Silas finally showed up that night.
17:47His hands were empty,
17:48he'd gotten a call saying Lily was feeling bad.
17:50So he went to her,
17:51and he'd given her our son's birthday cake to cheer her up.
18:24When Finn cried,
18:26Silas called him a spoiled,
18:27selfish brat.
18:34But I lunged at him,
18:36trying to slap the stupid box out of his hands,
18:38but I passed right through him like a cold draft.
18:40Silas walked into the room with cake,
18:41wearing a practiced,
18:42apologetic smile.
18:44His son was gone.
18:45In his place sat an old man hooked up to an 4.
18:47Silas froze.
18:48His eyes scanned the room,
18:50searching for Finn who wasn't there.
18:52Where is he,
18:53the little boy?
18:55The one with the heart condition.
18:56Where's Finn?
18:57You mean little Finn.
18:58Who are you to him?
18:59That poor kid.
19:00His mom ran out of money for the surgery,
19:03had an attack a few days back,
19:04and,
19:05well,
19:05he didn't make it.
19:06Such a shame.
19:29He didn't make it.
20:07He didn't make it.
20:28Why didn't anyone tell me?
20:31Why the hell did anyone tell me he was gone?
20:36Dr. Silas,
20:37why would we?
20:38Is,
20:40was the boy a relative of yours?
20:42I watched the blank,
20:43hollow panic wash over Silas' face.
20:51I knew what was hitting him.
20:52He'd made it a rule.
20:53No one in this hospital can know Finn as my son.
20:55He didn't want the gossip.
20:58He scrambled to his feet.
21:02Staggering down the halls looking for the private nurse he'd hired to watch over Finn,
21:05finally,
21:06way over in another building,
21:07he cornered her in another ward.
21:11The nurse took one look at his bloodshot eyes and tried to bolt.
21:14But Silas lunged.
21:15Silas grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall.
21:19I paid you a fortune!
21:21Why didn't you call me when my son was dying?
21:24His fist slammed into the nurse's face.
21:26Blood spurted from her nose,
21:28staining his white coat.
21:29Why?
21:30Dr. Silas,
21:31stop!
21:31It wasn't my fault!
21:34It was that woman,
21:35the one you're always with,
21:36Lily!
21:37She said you were busy with your research
21:39and that the kid was just trying to scam you.
21:41She paid me to stay quiet and stop bothering you about him!
21:46Silas' hand went limp.
21:48He let go of the nurse,
21:49and she collapsed,
21:50sobbing.
21:51Then,
21:52he started to hit himself.
21:53It's all my fault!
21:56Everyone in the department stared at him like he'd lost his mind.
22:00Silas dragged his knee,
22:01when his boots were made of lead.
22:03What a performance!
22:07And stumbled toward Lily's ward.
22:11But just as he reached for the handle,
22:13he saw someone inside he never expected,
22:16Lily's father.
22:17A deadbeat drunk who hadn't shown his face in years.
22:26You're useless.
22:27Can't even keep a man on a leash.
22:29I'm telling you now,
22:30if he's not footing the bill,
22:32I ain't got a dime for this fancy treatment of yours.
22:35You've got a beggar's wallet
22:36and a queen's medical bills.
22:41When you were sick as a kid,
22:43who'd you think saved you?
22:44Me!
22:45I staged that kidnapping
22:47so the wealthy Symos family would feel guilty enough
22:49to act as your personal bank.
22:51You'd be dead in a ditch
22:52if I hadn't made them believe
22:53you took a beating for their son.
22:56I earned this necklace.
22:58It was all a lie.
23:00No one ever kidnapped him.
23:02She didn't get a heart condition saving him.
23:04He'd spent his whole life paying for a debt
23:06that never existed, all of it.
23:08A lie.
23:13I'm sorry.
23:18All because of a lie?
23:19It cost me my life
23:21and it murdered my son, I.
23:23Screamed.
23:23I wanted to tear Silas apart
23:25to fly in there
23:26and choke the life out of Lily right now.
23:28I lunged at them,
23:29passing right through Silas's body
23:31and a gust swept out of me.
23:32It shoved the door wide open.
23:34Inside, Lily was still grappling with her father.
23:36She froze,
23:37staring straight into Silas's furious,
23:39bloodshot eyes.
23:48Silas, it's just my dad.
23:49He came to check on me.
23:51I heard everything!
23:53Don't you dare!
23:54You hit me in a hospital,
23:54you're going straight to jail,
23:55I'm telling you!
23:56You!
24:04Silas, stop!
24:05That's enough!
24:06You're gonna kill him!
24:07Get off me!
24:08You lying bitch!
24:10Give me my Valerie back!
24:12Give me my son!
24:14So all that debt,
24:15that friendship,
24:16those favors,
24:17it was just thin as paper.
24:18One gust of truth
24:19and the whole thing blew away.
24:21I don't know how long it went on.
24:22He only stopped when Lily lay limp on the floor
24:25like a discarded rag doll.
24:26That's when his phone rang.
24:28Mr. Silas,
24:29we've confirmed the records.
24:30You and Mrs. Valerie were indeed legally married.
24:33Please come and collect her ashes as soon as possible.
24:52How did she die?
24:54Forensics says it was systemic organ failure
24:56due to years of physical trauma.
24:58On top of that,
25:00she took a severe beating the day she passed.
25:02Her body just couldn't take anymore.
25:07I don't know what kind of debt is worth that,
25:09but she literally sold her life for money.
25:11First, we thought it was a homicide,
25:12but we looked into it.
25:13She'd been working as a human punching bag
25:15to make extra cash.
25:16She signed the waiver,
25:17so legally,
25:18the underground gym isn't liable.
25:28If I go back there,
25:30I'll die, Simus.
25:32Please, I'm really gonna die.
25:37It was me.
25:38Oh God, it was all me.
25:40Valerie, baby, please.
25:42I'm sorry.
25:43I messed up.
25:44I'm so, so sorry.
25:46Come back, okay?
25:47Just, just come back.
25:49Why didn't I see it?
25:50How could I be so blind?
25:52Why didn't I notice you were sick?
25:54And the money, Finn's surgery money.
25:56How could I take it?
25:58He could have seen it.
25:59Anytime.
26:00The bruises on my skin that never went away.
26:02The way I'd flinch if he even touched me,
26:04because every touch hurt like hell.
26:05And Finn,
26:06Silas was one of the best heart surgeons,
26:08but his own son
26:09never gave him a real checkup.
26:10He just watched while Finn's body wasted away,
26:13day by day.
26:13He had every chance,
26:15but his eyes were always,
26:16always on Lily.
26:33Where's my son?
26:34He rasped.
26:35Clutching my urn,
26:36he walked.
26:37When he saw our boy's face on the headstone,
26:39he broke down crying again.
26:45His fingers brushed over the stone,
26:47over and over,
26:48like he was patting Finn's cheek that he cried
26:49until his voice went completely raw that I felt.
26:52Sick to my bones.
26:53Our boy waited for him until he drew his last breath.
26:56What good is regret now?
26:57Don't you dare touch Finn's grave.
26:59You'll only taint his peace.
27:01Silas held a funeral for Finn and me.
27:02Our photos stood front and center in the morning.
27:05Haul,
27:05Silas looked like a ghost.
27:06He didn't move an inch.
27:07Just knelt there.
27:08The rights dragged on for three days.
27:10And Silas stayed on his knees for every second of it.
27:12I watched the monks chant their prayers.
27:13Thinking how pointless it all was,
27:15cause if it worked,
27:16I wouldn't stuck here.
27:17Tied to him,
27:18I want to go to Finn.
27:19Just the sight of Silas makes me sick.
27:21But I'm stuck that I watched him pay the monk an absurd amount of money.
27:24And I just mocked him.
27:25Oh,
27:25now money's no problem.
27:27If only that money had gone to Finn's doctors back then.
27:29He bought a double burial spot,
27:31moved Finn in,
27:32and placed me right beside him.
27:33I was so happy.
27:34I got to be with Finn again.
27:35The only annoying thing?
27:37Silas clung to our headstone and wouldn't leave.
27:40He pressed a kiss to the cold stone.
27:41Valerie,
27:42Finn,
27:43we're a family again.
27:44We'll never be apart ever again.
27:47Lily was still in the ICU ever since Silas knocked her out,
27:50but her account ran dry pretty fast,
27:52since Silas was still her emergency contact.
27:54The hospital called him to collect.
27:56Miss Lily's account is out of funds.
27:58Please send payments so we can continue her treatment.
28:00Silas's voice sounded like it was coming from miles away.
28:04It doesn't matter if she doesn't get treated.
28:07Just enough to wake her up.
28:10Once.
28:13He wired the money over to I stared at him,
28:16disgust curling in my chest.
28:17Get out.
28:18Get as far away from Finn and me as you can.
28:21I don't know if he somehow heard me.
28:22After kneeling a little longer,
28:24he actually pulled himself up and left.
28:26He'd knelt so long his legs went stiff.
28:27He limped as he walked.
28:30He rushed back to the hospital
28:31and waited for Lily to wake up.
28:33What a joke.
28:34He puts on this whole big show of regret,
28:36but the person he really cares about is still Lily, isn't it?
28:40After a long wait, Lily finally woke up.
28:42She stared up at Silas,
28:44eyes glistening with tears.
28:47Simus, you saved me again, didn't you?
28:49I knew you couldn't really abandon me.
28:52Even the favor thing was a lie.
28:53Our 20 plus years together, that's real.
28:56Silas lowered his eyes.
28:58Yeah, I'm not angry anymore.
28:59I want to take you to clear your head.
29:01Lily followed him, all sweet and eager to please.
29:04But Silas drove straight to the cemetery where Finn and I were buried.
29:08Lily trembled in fear when she saw the cemetery gates.
29:13Silas didn't say a word.
29:15Silas, why are we here?
29:16He just clamped his hand around her arm like a vice and dragged her forward.
29:24Lily fought him every step of the way.
29:26But Silas's strength was terrifying.
29:29When she refused to walk, he didn't stop.
29:31He just dragged her.
29:32Her knees hit the gravel and the sharp stones tore through her skin,
29:35leaving a jagged red trail behind them.
29:37We got him.
29:37He just argued.
