00:00The night before my wedding, I walked in on my fiancé entangled with his saviour's younger sister.
00:05The woman was wrapped in my wedding blanket, a lingering look of passion still in her eyes.
00:09I heard the pregnancy test result in his face and ask,
00:12Do you still want this child?
00:14He smoked half the night.
00:16At dawn, stubbing out his cigarette, he said,
00:19I have a duty to her, but I love you.
00:21Hearing that, I put on my wedding dress, deciding to give him one last chance.
00:26However, what I got was,
00:28Sorry, Mrs. Southwell, Mr. Vox says the wedding is cancelled.
00:32Mrs. Woods has suffered a heart attack and is undergoing emergency resurgitation.
00:36My bouquet dropped to the ground, my dignity shattered.
00:39I ran outside just in time to see his car speeding away.
00:43Julian! If you dare to go to her today, I'll be at the hospital tomorrow.
00:47You'll lose your child!
00:49He was silent for a moment, and then hung up.
00:52Only the dial tone remained in my ear.
00:54I stood at the hotel entrance, still in my wedding dress.
00:58The guests around me whispered as they stared.
01:01The host froze on stage, unsure what to say.
01:04Julian's mother, Lydia Finch.
01:07Sophia, go inside first. Don't let them see it.
01:11The wedding is off.
01:13The wedding is off.
01:14Nonsense!
01:15Julian just had a momentary merry lapse of judgment.
01:18Vivian's situation is critical.
01:21He couldn't ignore her.
01:22So he could ignore me?
01:24You're going to be his wife.
01:26Don't make a scene.
01:31I'm done being his wife.
01:34Leave today and forget being a Borg ever again!
01:42In the dressing room, I took off the wedding dress and changed into my own clothes.
01:47The makeup artist carefully removed all hair accessories.
01:50Mrs. Southwheel, your makeup...
01:52Leave it.
01:53I picked up my bag and left.
01:55Outside the hotel, the sky was overcast.
01:58I hailed a taxi.
02:00Trinity Hospital, please.
02:02My phone vibrated in my bag.
02:04It was Julian's assistant, Daniel Bright.
02:06Mr. Vogt is handling an emergency.
02:07I didn't answer.
02:08Mr. Vogt is handling an emergency.
02:08I knew what he would say.
02:10Mr. Vogt is handling an emergency.
02:12Mr. Vogt didn't mean it.
02:14Mr. Vogt will explain to you later.
02:16Such words sounded in my mind.
02:19I'd heard excuses like this for 10 years.
02:21Vivian had been Julian's responsibility ever since her brother, Leonard Woods, died saving him 5 years ago.
02:28This responsibility had weighed on Julian for 5 years.
02:32I used to think it was right for him to take care of Vivian.
02:35Today, I realized just how far he'd let that responsibility go.
02:39The taxi stopped at the hospital entrance.
02:42I paid and walked into the emergency building.
02:44Julian was sitting on the long bench outside the emergency room.
02:48Head down, elbows propped on his knees, hands dug into his hair.
02:52He sat there with his suit jacket tossed carelessly to one side.
02:56Hearing my footsteps, he looked up and stood up when he saw me.
03:00Sophia, why are you here?
03:02I'm sorry.
03:04How is she?
03:05The doctor said it was acute heart failure.
03:07They're still trying to stabilize her.
03:09She's in critical condition.
03:15I see.
03:18Sophia, please don't be like this.
03:21Leonard died because of me.
03:24I can't abandon Vivian.
03:26She has no family in this world.
03:31Julian, I'm not doing anything.
03:33I just feel our wedding doesn't seem as important as a girl you've known for 5 years.
03:38No, Sophia, you're the most important to me.
03:41The doctor didn't say she's dying.
03:43But she's dying!
03:46Just then, the emergency room door opened.
03:50Family of Vivian?
03:52I am.
03:53The patient's heart rate spiked due to excitement.
03:56It's stable now, no danger.
03:58She'll be transferred to a regular vord for observation for two days.
04:03Julian heaved a sigh of relief.
04:06See?
04:08She's so pitiful.
04:10Can't you be a little understanding?
04:14I said nothing.
04:15The hospital bed was wheeled out.
04:18Vivian was lying on it, Hale and with her eyes closed.
04:21As she passed me, her eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes opened a slit.
04:25Seeing me, she soon got tears welling up.
04:28Julian immediately held her hand.
04:30Vivian, don't be afraid.
04:32I'm here.
04:36I turned and walked out of the hospital.
04:38The cold wind hit my face.
04:40Only then did I realize my heart was pounding wildly.
04:49The next day, Julian didn't come home.
04:52The house was deathly silent.
04:54I called a real estate agent to list the house.
04:57Yes, we need to sell it right away.
04:59In the afternoon, Julian came back.
05:02Sophia, I apologize on Vivian's behalf.
05:05She didn't mean it yesterday.
05:08Can't she apologize herself?
05:12She's still very weak.
05:13Julian, don't talk about her.
05:15Let's talk about us.
05:16What about the wedding?
05:18How do we explain to our relatives and friends?
05:21He was silent for a while.
05:24Once things settle down, we can have the wedding again.
05:28Again?
05:30You think this is something that can be done again?
05:33Then what do you want me to do?
05:34It already happened.
05:37Sophia, I know you have endured a lot, but Vivian just came back from the brink of death.
05:42Can't we be a little more understanding?
05:47Again, understanding.
05:49I went into the bedroom, pulled out a suitcase, and started packing.
05:53What are you doing?
05:57His face darkened, folding my clothes neatly into the suitcase.
06:02I'm selling this house.
06:04Sophia, have you had enough of this scene?
06:06I'm not making a scene.
06:08I just don't want to live here anymore.
06:11Don't you dare sell it!
06:13This is our home!
06:15May is right.
06:17The moment you abandoned it for another woman, it stopped being our home.
06:22You're being utterly unreasonable!
06:26At this moment, his phone rang.
06:28He answered, and soon his tone shifted.
06:31What's wrong?
06:31Another nightmare?
06:33Don't be scared.
06:34I'm coming right now.
06:36After hanging up, he released me with impatience on his face.
06:39Sophia, stop this.
06:41Vivian's still shaking.
06:45I need to check on her.
06:46We'll talk when I get back.
06:48He thought I would compromise like before.
06:51If you leave, then don't come back.
06:58Sophia, my patience has limits.
07:01Then he left anyway.
07:03Listening to the door slam shut, I placed the last item in the suitcase and zipped it shut.
07:13I moved back to my studio.
07:15A small loft, design work downstairs, living space upstairs.
07:19Julian never contacted me again.
07:22I didn't contact him either.
07:24A week later, Lydia asked to meet me.
07:27In a coffee shop, she slid a check across the table.
07:3210 million.
07:34Leave Julian.
07:36Lydia, it's not about money between him and me.
07:40I know.
07:41You two have been together for 10 years, but you must understand.
07:44The Vogue family needs a wife who is understanding and can share Julian's burdens, not a troublemaker
07:49who only causes trouble.
07:52Vivian is understanding?
07:53Vivian is simple and kind.
07:56Her brother saved Julian's life.
07:59It's only right Julian protects her.
08:01As his fiancée, you should support him, not oppose him.
08:05I understood.
08:07In their eyes, all my grievances were causing trouble.
08:10I don't want the money.
08:12And I don't want Julian either.
08:15May he and Vivian have a lifetime of happiness.
08:20Stepping out of the coffee shop, I blocked all the Vogue's contacts.
08:24The world grew quiet.
08:29I began focusing on preparing for Milan Jewelry Design Competition three months later.
08:35That was my highest aspiration as a designer.
08:38My days were fulfilling and peaceful.
08:40Until that day, an uninvited guest showed up at my studio.
08:47Sofia, I came to apologize.
08:50On the wedding day, it was my fault.
08:52I shouldn't have get to the point.
08:55Julian has been in a terrible mood these past few days, drinking heavily.
08:59I know it's all because of me.
09:01Sofia, this is the card Julian gave me.
09:03I've saved all the money, never used it.
09:05I'm giving it back to you.
09:07Please don't be angry with him anymore, okay?
09:09Please?
09:10Vivian, do you think this is funny?
09:13I don't know what you're talking about.
09:15Vivian's still shaking.
09:16I'm coming right now.
09:18Every time you got sick or had an accident, it coincided with crucial moments for him and me.
09:24Vivian, you planned this, didn't you?
09:27I didn't.
09:29Take your card and get out of my place.
09:34Sofia, I know you hate me.
09:36But if the person who died five years ago was Julian instead of my brother, what would you have done?
09:41Believe it or not, I never meant to break you two up.
09:44I'm just so terribly lonely.
09:46She left.
09:47I threw the card in the trash.
09:49Sofia!
09:50What did you do to Vivian?
09:54Sofia!
09:55What did you do to Vivian?
09:58She slid her wrist after she went home.
10:00If the housekeeper hadn't found her in time, she'd be dead.
10:02Are you satisfied now?
10:03I did nothing to her.
10:04Still lying.
10:05She's so kind, even giving you all her savings to pay you back.
10:08Why did you still provoke her?
10:09Julian, do you believe her?
10:11Or me?
10:15I'm taking you to the hospital.
10:17Apologize to her.
10:18I'm not going.
10:19You have no choice.
10:20Julian, you're crazy!
10:22You're the crazy one!
10:24You weren't like this before!
10:25When did you become so vicious, so unreasonable?
10:28Yeah, I wasn't like this before.
10:31The old me believed his every word, understood his every difficulty, and took his responsibilities as my own.
10:36When did I change?
10:38Probably from the moment he kept choosing another woman over me.
10:42He dragged me all the way downstairs.
10:44His car was parked right at the door.
10:46He opened the door, trying to shove me inside.
10:49I used all my strength to break free.
10:53We're over.
10:54What did you say?
10:56I said we're breaking up.
10:57From now on, you and Vivian have nothing to do with me.
11:00Sophia, don't regret this!
11:01The thing I regret most is pulling you out of the mind ten years ago and spending another ten years
11:05watching you push me back in!
11:07I went upstairs, locked the door, and then leaned against it, listening to him pounding on the door.
11:13Then the car's engine started.
11:16He left.
11:17I slid to the floor, hugging my knees.
11:19A sharp pain stabbed through my lower abdomen.
11:22I looked down.
11:23Blood was trickling down my thigh.
11:28Seven weeks pregnant.
11:30Signs of threatened misnarrriage.
11:32Your emotional state is too volatile.
11:34Can my baby be saved?
11:35You need to be hospitalized for observation.
11:37As for saving your baby, we need a family member's consent.
11:40Where is your husband?
11:42He's away on business?
11:43Then have another relative come.
11:45I had no relatives.
11:47My parents passed away when I was very young.
11:50I was raised by my grandfather, who had also passed away five years ago.
11:54In this world, I thought I still had Julian.
11:57Now, I had no one.
11:59I sat on a bench in the hallway for a long time.
12:02My phone lit up.
12:03It was a photo from Daniel.
12:06Miss Southwield, Mr. Vox says he will come find you once Ms. Wood's condition stabilizes.
12:11Then I stood up and walked back to the doctor's office.
12:13Doctor.
12:16Made a decision?
12:17I don't want this child.
12:19Then I lay on the operating table.
12:22The anesthesia coursed through my body.
12:24In the last second before my consciousness faded, I thought,
12:28Julian, we're even now.
12:32The day I was discharged, it was raining.
12:35I didn't return to the studio.
12:38Instead, I went to the airport.
12:40I bought a one-way ticket to Milan.
12:42Before leaving, I sent Julian a final text.
12:46My lawyer will send you the divorce papers.
12:48I don't want the house or the car.
12:50Just sign it.
12:52After sending it, I deactivated my phone number.
12:56As the plane took off, watching the city grow smaller beyond the window, I told myself,
13:01Sofia, you are reborn.
13:03Sofia, you are reborn.
13:04Life in Milan was harder than I had imagined.
13:07Language barrier, no friends, no money.
13:10I lived in the cheapest apartment, ate the simplest food.
13:13By day, I audited classes at a jewelry institute, and by night, I washed dishes in a small restaurant.
13:20It was tough, but my heart was at peace.
13:24I devoted all my energy into designs.
13:26I poured all the love and pain of those 10 years into the drawings.
13:30Three months later, I stood on the stage of the Milan jewelry design competition with my entry, Caged Bird.
13:36I got the gold medal.
13:38That day, under the spotlight, I smiled at the sea of flashbulbs below.
13:42I was no longer the Sofia who needed Julian to survive.
13:46Now I was a designer, Sofia Southwell.
13:49Three years later, I returned to my country with my personal brand, Glimmer Snow.
13:54My first major show was set in Rivermore.
13:57The runway was star-studded.
13:59Backstage, I watched models wearing my jewelry creations step onto the stage.
14:04My assistant, Anna, approached and handed me a glass of champagne.
14:08Mrs. Southdale, Julian Voth, the president of Voth Group, is here too.
14:12I swirled the liquid in my glass without responding.
14:15He's in the front row.
14:16Hasn't taken his eyes off you.
14:18Is that so?
14:21He's lost a lot of weight.
14:23Looks haggard.
14:26I took a sip of champagne.
14:28Anna, go prepare the showstopper.
14:31Yes, Mrs. Southwell.
14:34Ladies and gentlemen, let's put our hands together for the jewelry designer of tonight's show,
14:39Sofia Southbury.
14:51Our gaze is locked for three seconds.
14:54I gave him a faint smile, then left the stage.
14:57Backstage, Anna told me Julian wanted to see me.
15:01Tell him I'm busy.
15:03He says he'll wait.
15:06Then let him wait.
15:08I changed out of the dress.
15:10I left through a side entrance and got into my car.
15:13Thanks, Mia.
15:14Hello, miss.
15:15Hi.
15:16As we drove away, I glanced back.
15:18He was still standing there.
15:20Anna was right.
15:22He was thinner and older, no longer the vibrant man I remembered.
15:26The car radio played an old song.
15:27I finally learned how to love, but sadly you, you had long vanished into the crowd.
15:38I turned off the radio.
15:42My brand became an overnight sensation domestically.
15:46Orders poured in like snowflakes.
15:48I was swamped with work.
15:50Julian tried many ways to see me.
15:53He bought the coffee shop downstairs from my studio and sat by the window every day.
15:57He purchased the billboard opposite my company, displaying my photos 24 hours a day.
16:02He bought every single one of my designs.
16:05I ignored him completely.
16:06The more he acted like this, the more ridiculous I found it.
16:10Hindsight was always 20-20.
16:13One day, I had just finished a meeting when Anna came in.
16:17Miss Southwield?
16:19There's a lady downstairs asking to see you.
16:21She says her name is Vivian Woods.
16:22My pen paused.
16:24Let her come up.
16:25Years had changed Vivian a lot.
16:28She wore exquisite makeup and a designer suit, with a hint of malice in her eyes.
16:32No longer the delicate, pitiable girl she once was.
16:36Sophia.
16:37Long time no see.
16:39She sat down in my office.
16:40What do you want to say?
16:42I come to ask you to leave Rivermore.
16:48I laughed.
16:48Why?
16:51Julian loves you now.
16:52Ever since you came back, he changed.
16:55He wants to send me away and break up with me.
17:00Isn't that good?
17:02You two never should have been together.
17:04No.
17:08It's me who stayed by his side these past three years.
17:12I took care of him at his lowest.
17:14How dare you take him away from me?
17:16I looked at her, feeling ridiculous.
17:20Vivian, have you forgotten?
17:21He was originally mine.
17:23You gave up on him.
17:24He gave up on me first.
17:27She was speechless with her face flushed red.
17:30Finally, she pulled a stack of photos from her bag and slammed them onto my desk.
17:35Sophia, don't get cocky.
17:37You think he really loves you?
17:39It's just guilt.
17:40Look at this.
17:44I picked up a photo.
17:46It showed a tombstone.
17:47The name on it was Leonard Woods.
17:49Next to it stood a smaller tombstone, bearing no name.
17:53Only a date.
17:54The date of my surgery.
17:56Below it was engraved two words, my son.
17:59With the signature, father, Julian Voigt.
18:02My mind exploded.
18:04He had actually set up a tombstone for our unborn child.
18:07Seeing my deathly pale face, Vivian laughed triumphantly.
18:11He told me the child was his greatest regret so he wanted to make amends.
18:14He wanted to get you back.
18:17Sophia, you're just a tool he's using to compensate for that child.
18:21My hands shook so badly that I couldn't hold the photos.
18:24They scattered all over the floor.
18:26Get out!
18:27Get out?
18:30Sophia, you can't win against me.
18:32As long as my brother's favor remains, Julian can never truly ignore me.
18:36I walked up to her and slapped her face.
18:39She covered her face, staring at me in disbelief.
18:42You dare slap me?
18:43This slap is for my unborn child.
18:47I picked up the phone.
18:49Security, throw this person out.
18:51Being held by two security guards.
18:54Sophia!
18:55Just wait!
18:56I'll make you pay!
18:57Yeah, the office door closed.
19:00I crouched down, picking up the photos one by one.
19:04Looking at that small tombstone, my tears finally fell.
19:11I fell ill with a persistent high fever.
19:14Anna took me to the hospital.
19:16Lying in a hospital bed, I drifted in and out of consciousness.
19:20It felt like I was back in that cold operating room three years ago.
19:24I kept having nightmares.
19:26A tiny infant was crying out to me.
19:28Mommy, why didn't you want me?
19:30I woke up sobbing.
19:31The moment I opened my eyes, I saw Julian.
19:35He sat at my bedside, holding my hand, with his jaw shadowed by rough stubble and his bloodshot eyes.
19:41Sophia, you're awake.
19:43His voice was hoarse.
19:45I pulled my hand back and turned away, not wanting to see him.
19:48He said behind me,
19:50I'm sorry about the child.
19:52I'm sorry.
19:54Back then, I thought you ended the pregnancy because you hated me.
19:59I didn't dare ask, didn't dare look for you.
20:02I was afraid you'd hate me even more.
20:05I visit him every year.
20:07I named him Sasha Valk.
20:09My body stiffened.
20:11I looked for you for three years.
20:14Sophia, I know I was wrong.
20:15Give me another chance, please.
20:17I didn't turn around, nor did I speak.
20:20I'll handle things with Vivian.
20:22I swear, from now on, my world will only have you and the child.
20:25The child he spoke of was the one long gone.
20:29How laughable.
20:33Julian, leave.
20:38I won't.
20:40He came to face me and tried to hug me.
20:42I avoided him.
20:44Sophia.
20:45You're right.
20:47I ended the pregnancy because I hated you.
20:50I hated you for abandoning our wedding,
20:52for abandoning our ten years,
20:54for choosing her again and again,
20:56so I abandoned your child.
20:58No, that's not true.
21:00You're not that kind of person.
21:01I am that kind of person.
21:03So it's impossible between us now.
21:06The person you see now is not the fool who loved you enough to give up everything.
21:12That fool died on the operating plate three years ago.
21:15The hospital room door opened.
21:18Anna entered with medicine.
21:20Seeing Julian, she paused.
21:24Mrs. Southwin, time for your medication?
21:28I nodded and told Julian.
21:31I need to rest.
21:32Please leave.
21:33He stood there, lips trembling.
21:36Finally, he gave me one last deep look before walking out.
21:39His back was hunched, looking ten years older.
21:46After I was discharged from the hospital,
21:48Julian didn't come to bother me again.
21:50He must have finally given up.
21:53I poured myself into work.
21:55My brand grew larger and larger, expanding worldwide.
21:58I spent most of my time abroad.
22:00My returns to Rivermore were brief and hurried.
22:03News of Julian came from financial reports.
22:06Resulting in heavy losses.
22:07Vogue Group's investment failed and it stocked back.
22:10With several major investments failing.
22:12It seemed his luck ran out after I left.
22:14Anna once shared some gossip with me.
22:17I heard Julian kicked Vivian out, didn't give her a cent.
22:22Vivian isn't an easy person either.
22:25She's been telling the media Julian is ungrateful,
22:27even that he has a love child.
22:29But no one believes her.
22:31She's in a bad way now.
22:32I just listened, having no feelings.
22:35None of it concerned me anymore.
22:37A year later, my retrospective exhibition opened at Rivermore Art Museum.
22:42All my representative works from my debut until now were on display.
22:45Many people attended the opening ceremony.
22:48I was preparing my speech in the lounge.
22:51Anna suddenly rushed in.
22:53Miss Southfield, something's happened.
22:55What happened?
22:56Vivian is here.
22:57She's making a scene in the exhibition hall saying your breakthrough work is a copy of hers.
23:01Is she mad?
23:02She showed the so-called original design draft, almost identical to yours, with just minor difference.
23:07Now the reporters are all gathered around.
23:09This piece was just designed in my brother Leonard Woods.
23:12It's his final work.
23:13Sophia was an assistant in my brother's studio.
23:15She stole my brother's draft.
23:19Mrs. Woods, do you have any evidence?
23:21The evidence is my manuscript.
23:23It has my brother's signature.
23:26Vivian.
23:28Sophia.
23:29You thief.
23:30How dare you show up?
23:32You say this work was designed by you and your brother together?
23:35Yes.
23:35When?
23:36Six years ago.
23:39Everyone, the inspiration for this work did come from one person, but it wasn't Leonard Woods.
23:44It was Julian Vaught.
23:45I created this work during the most painful period after our breakups.
23:48It symbolizes my trapped love and my longing for freedom.
23:50As for Mrs. Woods' evidence, if I'm not mistaken, it was drawn by Julian, right?
23:54You're lying!
23:55Whether I'm lying or not, a handwriting expert can verify it.
23:58Julian has been painting for ten years.
24:00I can recognize his brush strokes even with my eyes closed.
24:03I don't know what you're talking about.
24:04This is my brother's.
24:05Is this?
24:06A deep voice came from behind the crowd.
24:08Julian walked in.
24:09He wore a black suit, looking more gaunt than the last time I saw him.
24:13It was drawn by me, not by Leonard.
24:15I drew it to atone to Sophia.
24:16I gave it to you to pass to her, not for you to frame her with.
24:21I didn't, I really was un-
24:23Enough!
24:24I come here to tell you a thing.
24:26Leonard did not die saving me.
24:31The entire exhibition hall was deathly silent.
24:35Everyone was stunned into speechlessness.
24:37What, what did you say?
24:39I've been investigating the car crash from five years ago.
24:43I found several people to recover the dashcam footage at that time.
24:47A car was driving along a winding mountain road.
24:50Julian was the driver, and Leonard was sitting in the passenger seat.
24:54Suddenly, a large truck veered toward them.
24:56A second before impact, Leonard unbuckled his seatbelt and shielded Julian with his own body.
25:04See it clearly?
25:05That truck had brake failure.
25:07It wasn't a premeditated murder.
25:09As for Leonard, he was drowning in 30 million in gambling debt.
25:14He couldn't go on living anyway.
25:17He didn't die saving me.
25:19He just wanted to use his life to give you a secure future.
25:22He wrote it all clearly in his will, asking you to live well with my guilt.
25:26Not to use that guilt to hurt the one I love the most.
25:29I was held hostage by this so-called kindness for five years.
25:32I lost my love, my child.
25:35I've become a laughing doc.
25:37Vivian, if your brother could see you now, would he get peace?
25:46No! It's not true! It's not!
25:54The farce finally came to an end.
25:56Julian turned to look at me.
25:58Sophia, the truth is finally out.
26:02I no longer owe anyone anything.
26:06Can we start over?
26:09Julian, it's too late.
26:14With that, I walked back to the lounge.
26:16Leaving everything behind me.
26:21After that day, Julian vanished.
26:24Voight Group announced bankruptcy liquidation.
26:27He dismissed all employees, liquidated all assets, and paid off all debts.
26:31Then he left Rivermore alone.
26:34No one knew where he went.
26:35My life finally returned to calm.
26:38My brand went public in Paris, becoming truly international.
26:42I lived mostly in Paris.
26:44Occasionally, Anna mentioned Julian.
26:47She said someone saw him doing volunteer work, and someone saw him teaching in a mountain village.
26:52He seemed to be punishing himself like an ascetic.
26:55While listening, I felt nothing.
26:57We ultimately took different paths in life.
27:00Five years later, I returned to my country and settled down.
27:04I bought a house with a garden in Rivermore.
27:06I adopted a little girl named Ava.
27:08She was adorable, with two dimples when she smiled.
27:12I loved her dearly.
27:14We lived happily together.
27:15One winter afternoon, I took Ava to a park.
27:19It was snowing heavily.
27:21Ava was building a snowman.
27:23I sat on a bench.
27:24Watching her.
27:26Not far away, a man in a janitorial uniform was sweeping snow slowly and laboriously.
27:31He wore a hat and mask, his face obscured.
27:34He seemed to have a leg issue.
27:36A slight limb.
27:37Ava's snowball rolled to his feet.
27:40She ran over to retrieve it.
27:41The man stopped sweeping, bent down, and picked it up for her.
27:45When he looked up, his mask slipped down slightly.
27:49I saw his face.
27:53It was Julian.
27:55His hair was much grayer.
27:57His face weathered.
27:58Seeing me, he froze.
28:00The snowball fell from his hand and was shattered.
28:03Ava looked up, asking in a babbish voice,
28:05Sir, what's wrong?
28:07He didn't answer, and just looked at me with so many emotions in his eyes.
28:11I stood up and walked toward them while waving to Ava.
28:14Ava, come here, we're going home.
28:17Ava ran to me, taking my hand.
28:20Mom, he's crying.
28:22I glanced back.
28:23Julian remained motionless where he stood.
28:26His tears rolled down his face, mingled with snowflakes, and fell to the ground.
28:31A man nearing 40 cried like a child.
28:34Holding Ava's hand, I didn't look back.
28:36We walked into the snow, getting further and further away.
28:39I knew he was watching, until we vanished from sight.
28:43Just like many years ago, I watched him leave without hesitation.
28:47We both had stood at life's crossroads.
28:49He chose his so-called responsibility, and I chose myself.
28:53Now, the dust had settled.
28:55We keep moving forward.
28:57Ava's laughter filled the way.
28:59The sun was shining, and the breeze was gentle.
29:05The sun was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and
29:09the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and
29:10the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and
29:10the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and
29:10the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and
29:10the wind was shining, and the wind was shining, and the wind was shining.
