02:41his face he instinctively pushed lily away my i walked straight toward him slap before he could
02:46finish my name i slapped him hard across the face this is your so-called base emergency mission
02:51the entire party went dead silent lily reacted first screaming and rushing to walker's side
02:56caressing his face as if he were the victim maya how dare you slap the blow sent her stumbling back
03:02and walker rushed to hold her up i was about to speak when a violent force threw me to the
03:07ground
03:07carter you bitch my son doesn't want you anymore if anything happens to my grandson i'll make you pay
03:14exactly no matter how jealous you are you can't crash in and ruin this party and just like that
03:18the whole scene erupted accusations flew everywhere people yelled insults and some were already calling
03:22for the military police to drag me emboldened by the crowd lily flashed me a triumphant smile but in
03:27the blink of an eye that snug look was gone her eyes filled with tears and her voice turned weak
03:31and
03:32trembling why can't you just leave us alone maya i know you're divorced you you can't have walker's
03:36children but he's always wanted a son but if it makes you feel better you can still visit him

05:01don't you dare my father is general carter i dare anyone to lay a hand on me
05:07the entire compound dropped into stunned silence
05:11then lily suddenly let out a soft trembling sob
05:15maya i know you're upset but you can't just say things like that
05:21walker do you think maybe losing the baby really broke her
05:25walker played right along

11:08i dare anyone to touch her again
11:10in an instant
11:12hundreds of armed soldiers
11:13stormed the yard
11:14and surrounded the compound
11:28maya
11:29dad is here
11:30daddy
11:57ahhh
11:58ahhh
11:59ahhh
12:00ahhh
12:01ahhh
12:11Who hit her?
12:13Was it you?
12:15Was it you?
12:21I didn't mean to.
12:24She started it.
12:25You better pray my daughter is okay.
12:28General.
12:29General!
12:30I was wrong!
12:30I was confused!
12:32Confused?
12:34You beat my daughter like this and call it confused?
12:38I'll divorce her!
12:40Give her everything!
12:42Please spare me!
12:44No!
12:45No!
12:46No!
12:48You're the ungrateful Resh who spits in the face of her savior?
12:58Listen up!
13:00Every wound on my daughter's body will be repaid tenfold!
13:07He never breaks his word.
13:10And today was only the beginning.
13:13Everyone in the yard turned pale.
13:16Guns pressed to their heads.
13:18Walker and Lily froze, unable to move or even flinch.
13:22Guards pulled the attackers off me.
13:24A major general glared coldly at the crowd, then fixed his gaze on Walker.
13:29Maya!
13:29What have you done?
13:30Haven't you caused enough trouble?
13:32I'm Colonel Hale.
13:33Tell them to lower their guns!
13:37Panic filled his eyes.
13:40He held me tight and I wept bitterly in his arms.
13:49He forgot the gun at his head, spun around, and met my father's eyes.
13:56General Carter?
13:58What are you doing here?
14:02Who are you?
14:04Can't you see Colonel Hale is in the middle of-
14:06Shut up!
14:06General Carter, sir.
14:12This is all a misunderstanding.
14:14Really, just a misunderstanding.
14:16A misunderstanding?
14:17Walker, my daughter, gave up everything to marry you.
14:20And this is how you repaid her?
14:22The whole yard went silent.
14:24Everyone stared at me in shock.
14:26No one answered.
14:28A coat covered me.
14:30I opened my eyes and saw my father.
14:35Diane, who'd cursed me minutes ago, now fawned over my father and hurried over.
14:41Come now, we're family.
14:44Just a little misunderstanding.
14:50My father's boot slammed down on the marriage certificate on the ground.
14:59Abuse of power.
15:01Falsifying official documents.
15:05Every word slammed into Walker, making him shake.
15:09Fabradary here.
15:12This rare red of video and so-and-sealed of Ixgines.
15:15But my father cut him off with a sharp gesture.
15:21Investigate this!
15:22Get someone from the county clerk's office here immediately!
15:24Now!
15:25Now!
15:35She finally understands.
15:44Walker!
15:45What do we do?
15:53Waiting.
15:55And then, judgment.
16:06He picked me up carefully, as if holding the whole world.
16:20Dad.
16:23I'm sorry.
16:26I'm sorry.
16:38She knew that from this moment on, she would never have to face it alone again.
16:45And the reckoning.
17:13The truth is never buried.
17:21He didn't need to say a word, because every second that followed would make Walker wish
17:25he were dead.
17:28Within ten minutes, the truth came out.
17:31Walker used his position to make the county clerk record his marriage to Lily, even though
17:35he hadn't filed for divorce yet.
17:36Good.
17:37Very good, Hale.
17:38Walker shook so hard he could barely stand.
17:40He looked ready to beg, but no words came out.
17:43He just...
17:45Take him.
17:46Soldiers ripped the insignia off Walker's uniform on the spot.
17:50Minutes earlier, he'd swaggered like he owned...
17:52No!
17:54Diane threw herself forward to beg for him.
17:57But an MP shoved her aside roughly.
18:00She crashed to the ground and wailed.
18:06Everyone went quiet.
18:07The loudest shouters now hid in the corners, trembling in fear, afraid Dad would go after
18:13them next, and that their husbands would also be taken away.
18:17Lily sat there clutching her stomach, pale as a ghost.
18:21Come on, sweetheart.
18:24Dad's taking you home.
18:28He wiped the blood from my face.
18:31His jaw tightened instantly.
18:34In the rearview mirror, I took one last look at the crowd at the gate.
18:38They looked stunned, like they still couldn't process what had happened.
18:44They grew smaller and smaller until they vanished, and I finally looked away.
18:50Does it still hurt?
18:51I'd been sure he'd blame me.
18:53For not listening to him.
18:55For insisting on marrying Walker.
18:57For dragging myself into this nightmare.
19:00But he didn't.
19:01He just looked at me, gentle and heartbroken.
19:05I hung my head and bit my lip.
19:09The silence in the car was suffocating.
19:15Dad.
19:18I'm sorry.
19:20In that moment, all the pain I'd held back burst out.
19:24I hung my head to hide it.
19:27No.
19:29It doesn't hurt anymore.
19:32You've been through enough.
19:34Cry if you want to.
19:35Back then, we were both wrong.
19:37It wasn't all your fault.
19:39Maybe if I hadn't pushed you so hard, you wouldn't have been so set on marrying him.
19:43Maybe you wouldn't have left home.
19:45I wouldn't have lost you for all those years.
19:47If I'd been there for you, that bastard never would have dared treat you like this.
19:51I sniffed hard.
19:52For the first time, I realized how stupid I'd been.
19:56I'd thrown away a father as gentle and loving as him for a man like Walker.
20:05Come on, sweetheart.
20:07Let's go home.
20:08Mom's waiting for you.
20:17This time, she was finally going home.
20:32She finally let go of all the pretense and strength.
20:45He remembered her as a little girl, ponytail bouncing, laughing as she ran into his arms.
20:56Dad, I'm sorry.
20:58I should have listened to you.
21:04Silly child.
21:18Mom never stopped waiting for her.
21:20Never.
21:27Dawn was coming.
21:29So was hers.
21:30Everything would be okay.
21:31Because she finally knew she wasn't alone.
21:38The car rolled slowly up the driveway.
21:41Before it stopped, Mom pushed open the front door and hurried out.
21:45Still wearing her apron, holding a spatula, clearly running straight from the kitchen.
21:51My baby!
21:53Who did this?
22:04Let's get inside first.
22:06The table was covered with my favorite food.
22:08The smell of roast meat and gravy filled the house.
22:10Mom tried not to look at my injuries, but she couldn't help it.
22:13Her eyes kept drifting back, and each time she looked more heartbroken.
22:17Only two years, and he's done this to you?
22:19That bastard!
22:21I ate in silence, unable to say a word.
22:25Leave him!
22:26You have to leave him!
22:28If I'd known he'd hurt you like this, I would have stopped that wedding no matter what!
22:34It's handled.
22:35And just like that, the three of us found our way back to each other.
22:39We sat and talked, trying to make up for the lost years.
22:51Suddenly, a loud, miserable wail came from outside.
22:55Maya!
22:56Oh, Maya!
22:57I was wrong!
22:58I was so wrong!
23:00Lily's vicious.
23:01She turned on Walker once he got into trouble, wants a divorce, and is even getting rid of
23:05their baby.
23:06I get it now.
23:07You were the only one who ever stood by him.
23:10Sorry now?
23:12After your family put my daughter through all this?
23:14Maya, I know I was wrong.
23:17Maya, please.
23:18When the baby's born, you and Walker can still be together.
23:20You can raise him as your own.
23:22Just please help Walker.
23:24He can't go to jail.
23:25I let out a cold laugh.
23:27So that was her game.
23:28She couldn't bear to lose her grandson, and she was terrified Walker would lose everything.
23:33So she tried to play both sides.
23:38Get out.
23:41Get out!
23:42If you ever come near my daughter again, I'll make sure your son rots in prison!
23:47Ah!
23:49Ah!
23:50Maya, please!
23:51Think about it!
23:55The front door slammed shut.
23:57The house was quiet at last.
24:03Sweetheart, what do you think?
24:07No matter what you decide, I'll always be on your side.
24:10I slowly unclenched my fists, a cold smile curling on my lips.
24:21Don't worry, Dad.
24:23I'll make them pay.
24:26Good.
24:27That's my daughter.
24:32What do you want to do?
24:38Whatever they did to me, I'll give back tenfold.
24:49He'd already prepared everything.
24:51Every step was calculated.
24:59Mom is so sorry.
25:02I couldn't protect you back then.
25:06Mom, it's not your fault.
25:13Mom, it's not your fault.
25:16Yes.
25:18Go on.
25:19Walker has been formally arrested.
25:21Falsifying documents, abuse of power, multiple charges.
25:31She finally smiled.
25:33For real this time.
25:44Dawn broke.
25:46Her dawn had finally come.
25:48She lost everything, then found it all again.
25:51This time, she would never let go.
25:56He sat frozen, throat dry, staring blankly.
26:01His eyes were bloodshot, unfocused, like he hadn't slept in weeks.
26:06His fingers curled and uncurled, trembling.
26:11At first, he tried to fight, to explain, to talk his way out.
26:15But the evidence piled up.
26:18Forgery, abuse of power, adultery, coercing subordinates to lie, one charge after another.
26:24By the end, he'd stopped pretending.
26:27Colonel Hale, you are sentenced to ten years in prison.
26:33You are stripped of your rank and dismissed from the service.
26:39Then the judge read the sentence.
26:42The courtroom went dead silent.
26:46Walker sank into his seat.
26:48All the life drained out of him.
26:55Diane sat in the gallery.
26:57She broke down.
26:58The second she heard the sentence, rushed to me, and grabbed my sleeve.
27:02Maya, Maya, please!
27:05You can't do this!
27:06You were his wife!
27:08Please save him!
27:10I pulled away and looked her straight in the eye.
27:13No one is above the law!
27:16You heartless bitch!
27:18You ruined my son's life!
27:20And I swear I'll ruin yours too!
27:22I said nothing.
27:23I just turned and walked out.
27:26Dad followed me out of the courthouse.
27:28Outside.
27:29What now?
27:32I took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
27:35Clear.
27:36Bright blue.
27:37For the first time in a long time, I felt like I could really breathe.
27:41I want to do something that actually matters.
27:43Something real.
27:44I want to help people.
27:45That's my daughter.
27:46Dad smiled proudly.
27:47In college, I'd majored in medicine.
27:49I'd dreamed of being a doctor.
27:50Then I met Walker, and I let that dream go.
27:53Now I finally had a chance to pick it back up.
27:55To hold a scalpel again.
27:56After that, life moved on.
27:58I worked at a small local clinic.
27:59My days were busy and simple, and the worst of my past slowly faded.
28:03Then, Rue, one day I heard his name a Hale.
28:04Walker Hale.
28:05I heard his family brought him up while we were talking.
28:08Total mess.
28:08My hand paused.
28:09I didn't say anything.
28:10Just listen.
28:11It turned out that the second Walker fell, Lily dumped him, got rid of the baby, and
28:15hooked up with another colonel right away.
28:17Diane flew into a rage and attacked Lily, leaving her half paralyzed and on a ventilator
28:22in hospital.
28:23Diane was arrested and reunited with her son in prison.
28:26God, I heard she may never wake up.
28:32I was quiet for a moment, then closed the chart in my hands.
28:39Room three needs a dressing change.
28:41Dr. Carter?
28:42A nurse gently nudged me, sounding worried.
28:46I smiled.
28:48When I stepped out of the ward, I saw the sky had cleared.
28:53After days of gray, the sun was shining.
28:57Dr. Carter!
28:58The director's looking for you!
29:00A nurse called from the end of the hall.
29:02I walked straight to the office.
29:13They're sending a medical team to Alaska.
29:16Your father told me to let you decide.
29:19The director of me informed a medical team was going to Alaska, and my father let me decide.
29:26I nodded, took out a pen, and signed my name.
29:32Quick, clean, no hesitation.
29:35Then I handed the form back.
29:43When I walked out of the office, sunlight hit my face.
29:49Somewhere in the distance, I heard kids laughing.
29:53I reached into my pocket.
29:55The apple from the patient in room three was still there.
30:03I took a bite.
30:05It crunched, sweet, crisp, clean.
30:08And just like that, the future didn't feel heavy anymore.
30:13It felt light.
30:17I was going to destroy the food.
30:18I was left in the space.
30:18I was found near the building
30:18I bought hot scrub-free from the head there in my heart when I saw it.
30:18I was really excited.
30:18I cared forカス two.
