00:00A woman who had been paralyzed for eight years one day overheard a conversation between her
00:03husband and her son. If we had known she would become such a burden, we would have abandoned
00:07her long ago. Yet, the reason she had ended up like this was entirely because of her son.
00:11That year, when he was still a mischievous child, he had rushed into the middle of the
00:14road to play, nearly getting hit by a car. Without hesitation, his mother had thrown
00:18herself forward to save him, disregarding her own safety. But she was violently struck
00:21by a truck. She went from being a brilliant ballet dancer to a paralyzed woman, reduced
00:25to helplessness. At the beginning, she was completely dependent. Sometimes, she couldn't
00:29even control herself and would wet her clothes. Countless times, she had wanted to leave
00:33this world. But her husband and son knelt before her, begging her to keep living. Her son, consumed
00:37by guilt for causing his mother's paralysis, took care of her every day. He brought her
00:41water, fed her, and after school, he would sit beside her wheelchair and tell her about
00:44his day. Thanks to their devotion, the woman slowly found a bit of light again. Until one
00:48day, eight years later, she overheard their secret conversation. Through their complaints,
00:53she realized she had become a burden to them. Yet, eight years earlier, they had been the ones
00:56begging her to stay alive. At that moment, she decided to give them their freedom and
01:00to free herself as well. But her soul returned to the house, and she then discovered the secrets
01:04of her husband and son. Her son was on a video call with a classmate. Will your mom come to
01:08the parent-teacher meeting this time? The woman knew that since her accident, her husband's
01:11secretary had been taking her place. Hearing her son say yes, she felt neither resentment
01:15nor jealousy. On his way to school, the boy saw the wheelchair on the balcony and thought
01:19his mother was sunbathing. When she didn't respond to his greeting, he muttered that she
01:21had a bad temper. Since the accident, the husband often worked from home. Everyone said she was a burden
01:26to him. The woman wanted to smooth the frown on her husband's face, but she couldn't. Then came a call
01:29from the secretary. The husband hurried to his office. Before leaving, he thought his wife was
01:33resting on the balcony and lied, saying he would come home late because of work, without waiting
01:37for a reply. After leaving the house, in reality, the secretary had injured her wrist for some
01:41unknown reason. Seeing their closeness, the woman felt no anger. During these eight years, the secretary
01:46had already entered her husband's life. She had always considered her a good person and believed that
01:50with her, her husband would be well taken care of. She had even imagined her as the future
01:53mother of her son. But then the secretary said, so it was your wife who sent someone to attack me.
01:57She even threatened to kill me next time. The woman was shaken. She was being falsely accused.
02:01Yet her husband believed it. He sent an angry voice message. Haven't you done enough? I'm tired of
02:05putting up with you. The secretary's complaints only fueled his anger further. At that moment,
02:09the woman understood that everything the secretary had shown was just a facade. Then the husband
02:13received a call from the resident's security guard. A woman had gone missing, and he was asked whether
02:17his wife was safe at school. The same news was being broadcast. Since the missing person's identity
02:21had not yet been confirmed, the son thought it couldn't be his mother. When his father called
02:25him, he said he'd seen her. After confirming that his wife was not officially reported missing,
02:29the husband told his son that he had made a decision. He wanted a divorce. The son did not
02:32oppose it and even supported the decision. The father explained that he would send his mother abroad
02:36to a specialized care center with professional caregivers. Hearing this, the woman felt deep sadness.
02:41The secretary was delighted. The husband signed the divorce papers, giving 70% of his assets
02:45to his wife. But immediately after, he collapsed. I'm sorry. I can't take it anymore.
02:49The woman knew he had already done his best for the past eight years. He woke up every morning
02:53at 5 a.m. to prepare her meals, massage her legs every night, and had given up all his plans
02:57abroad
02:58to take care of her, all while working and enduring her mood swings. Very few people could
03:01have lasted this long. Seeing him break down in tears, her heart shattered. If she had left
03:05eight years earlier, she wouldn't have destroyed the whole family. That afternoon, the husband and
03:09the secretary went to pick up the son from school. The secretary once again implied that her injury
03:13was the mother's fault. The son, furious, ran home and threw his bag on the ground.
03:17Ann has always helped us. And you dare hurt her? Do you think everyone owes you something?
03:20I know you resent me. But do you want me to live in guilt for the rest of my life?
03:23The woman desperately tried to explain, but her son couldn't hear her. The husband arrived with the
03:27divorce papers and announced that he wanted to leave her. Behind the curtain, there was no response.
03:31Thinking she refused to divorce, the son added, I've thought it through. I want to live with dad and aunt.
03:35Please let us go. At that moment, the woman collapsed inside. Then the security guard entered the house.
03:40I'm sorry to inform you. The missing person is your wife.
