00:00A man gripped my wife's hips, pounding into her relentlessly.
00:06My wife moaned under him shamelessly.
00:09She arched her back, pressing herself closer to him.
00:12The man captured one of her nipples between his teeth, sucking at the sensitive bud.
00:17The wet sounds of their coupling fill the air, punctuated by their cries of pleasure.
00:22Tears stung my eyes, but I couldn't look away,
00:25forced to witness every intimate detail of her infidelity.
00:28My wife cheated on me with her first love, even gave all my money to him.
00:34I finally divorced her. Now she begged me to come back.
00:37The day our son lay on the narrow hospital bed, his skin pale and lips dry.
00:42I begged everyone I knew, still short $200 for surgery.
00:47No matter how I pleaded, my wife only said she had no money,
00:50because she gave all the money to her first love, Sebastian.
00:54I have no money.
00:55To save my son, my mother secretly sold the life support medicine meant to keep her alive.
01:00She died soon after, untreated.
01:02I buried her alone.
01:04Then I picked Jason up from the hospital.
01:06That's when I found my wife's receipts.
01:08Haute couture suits.
01:09Luxury watches worth millions.
01:11A private jet.
01:13My hands shook as I held them.
01:15I went home with everything in my grip.
01:17Before I could speak, Jason stepped in front of me.
01:20Dad, mom just needs money to help Uncle Sebastian.
01:23Do you have to make such a big fuss?
01:25I looked at my son.
01:26The one my mother died for.
01:28My chest felt like it was collapsing.
01:30Evelyn didn't even deny it.
01:32Sebastian has culture.
01:33He needs nice things.
01:35Unlike you.
01:36A house husband who cries over $200.
01:40I laughed and threw the receipts onto the floor.
01:43After that, I walked out of the house alone.
01:46The evening air was cold against my skin.
01:49Behind me, I heard the front door open.
01:52Footsteps followed.
01:53Evelyn caught up to me and pushed a reusable grocery bag into my hands.
01:57Jason is getting better.
01:59Pick up some steak on your back.
02:01Then, as if nothing unusual had happened, she added,
02:04I've transferred your weekly grocery money.
02:06Don't ask me for any extra.
02:08Her face still carried that same gentle smile.
02:11As if the argument we just had meant nothing.
02:14When we were young, we had almost nothing.
02:17Back then, Evelyn used to hand me a small envelope every Friday.
02:20Not much, but enough to get us through the week.
02:23Sometimes she'd smile shyly, like we were partners building a life together.
02:27Now?
02:28Evelyn earned more in a single month than I used to make in half a year.
02:31But the amount of money she gave me to run the household hardly changed at all.
02:35Still the same tight weekly budget.
02:38She always had reasons.
02:40Jason's tuition is expensive.
02:42We need to be disciplined with our spending.
02:45She never told me she had so much money.
02:47Money she was secretly sending to Sebastian.
02:51I'm not cooking tonight.
02:53You and Jason can figure something out yourselves.
02:56The moment the words left my mouth, something shifted.
02:59Evelyn's expression darkened.
03:02Daniel, are you still sulking about that $200?
03:09I really don't know what you're getting so bent out of shape about.
03:12She had always been like this, giving orders without even realizing it.
03:17A good life, she called it.
03:19A life where she decided what mattered.
03:22So she drained every dollar I had.
03:24Textbooks.
03:25Expensive supplements.
03:26Things I never questioned.
03:28So I stood on a chair, in the middle of the night, catching rainwater, just so she could sleep through
03:34a leaking roof.
03:35I wasn't even 30 when the joint pain started.
03:38Whenever the weather turned, it came crawling back.
03:41Sharp, relentless, impossible to ignore.
03:45The first time I asked her for money, to see a doctor, she didn't even look up.
03:49When you get older, take some painkillers, you'll be fine.
03:54Back then, I believed her.
03:56Now, I know the truth.
03:58While I was swallowing cheap painkillers, pretending not to hurt,
04:01she was buying Sebastian medication that cost a fortune.
04:0530 years of sacrifice, of compromise.
04:08And I was the only fool who believed we were building a life together.
04:13I slowly lifted my head and let out a bitter laugh.
04:16Evelyn laughed like I'd said something ridiculous.
04:20Divorce?
04:21Daniel, don't be dramatic.
04:22You're still angry over money.
04:25She pulled out two crumpled $10 bills and shoved them into my hand.
04:29Buy yourself that pastry you like.
04:31And grab bread for Jason.
04:33Then she turned and walked back inside.
04:35The door shut without another word.
04:38I stayed outside, staring at the money in my palm.
04:41Jason's voice came through the wall.
04:43Mom, why did you even give Dad money?
04:47He's acting up because you keep letting him.
04:50Just stop giving him anything.
04:52Let him live off his pension.
04:54There was a pause inside.
04:56Then Evelyn spoke, calm and certain.
04:58Your father already sends his entire pension to Uncle Sebastian.
05:03Sebastian is a respectable man.
05:05After the factory let him go, he had nothing.
05:08I tightened my grip on the worn grocery basket.
05:11My mind flashed back.
05:13Years ago, Evelyn had just given birth to our daughter.
05:17I received the notice from the factory.
05:19Termination.
05:20I couldn't believe it.
05:21I told myself I had to go to the factory and ask the manager why.
05:25Evelyn holding my hand, crying, begging me not to go back.
05:29She said she would work and support me and the children.
05:32So I believed her.
05:33I left the factory and never went back.
05:36Only later did I learn the truth.
05:38The man fired from the factory was not me.
05:41It was Sebastian.
05:43Evelyn replaced my identity with his and let him take my position.
05:47But the factory refused to keep him on the benefits plan.
05:51No pension.
05:51No security.
05:52So Evelyn took my pension and sent it to him every month.
05:56For 25 years.
05:58I lived as a house husband with no income.
06:00I never understood why I had been fired.
06:03Now I finally did.
06:04It was all done by the woman I loved.
06:07My hand trembled.
06:08The grocery bag slipped and hit the ground.
06:11I pulled out my phone.
06:12Lawyer.
06:13I want a divorce filed.
06:14Today.
06:15I came back from Leo, the neighbor lawyer, and pushed open the door.
06:20Evelyn was in the living room, watching TV, face cold under the bright lights.
06:25Gray hair, wrinkles, but still composed, still elegant.
06:30A month ago I had seen Sebastian's post on social media.
06:34He was in France, smiling under the sun.
06:37He looked nothing like a man approaching 60.
06:40At the time I even felt a trace of envy.
06:43I told Evelyn,
06:45Why do others get to travel the world when we're stuck here?
06:48She smiled.
06:52Once Jason settles down, we'll go too.
06:56I actually believed her.
06:58I worked harder, took more odd jobs, saved for Jason's future.
07:03Then I saw the cropped photo.
07:06Sebastian wasn't alone.
07:08Evelyn was there too, same color outfit, standing beside him like a couple.
07:13I was the only one left behind in this aging apartment, surrounded by smoke and silence.
07:20Evelyn turned off the TV when I walked in, arms crossed, waiting.
07:25I ignored her, changed my shoes, walked toward the bedroom.
07:30The remote hit the table hard behind me.
07:33Daniel!
07:34If you're unhappy, just say it!
07:37Stop acting like this!
07:38I didn't turn around.
07:40I spoke flatly.
07:42I did.
07:43I want a divorce.
07:48You're really doing this over money?
07:51You think you can survive on your own?
07:55I finally looked at her.
07:58All these things in this house.
08:00How many did I pay for with my own labor?
08:05And where did my money go, Evelyn?
08:08The door burst open.
08:10Jason rushed out, headphones still hanging around his neck.
08:15What now?
08:16You accusing mom of cheating again?
08:19Sebastian and mom are innocent.
08:21You're just disgusting for thinking that.
08:26Your grandmother died because your mother refused to give me $200.
08:32She sold her medicine to save you.
08:38Jason froze, just for a second.
08:44You're insane.
08:45You're making up stories just to attack mom.
08:49Evelyn sighed, like she was tired of all this.
08:53She reached into her bag, pulled out $200, and placed it on the table.
09:00Here.
09:01Take it.
09:02Stop this.
09:03And she turned, comforting Jason, like nothing had happened.
09:09I looked at the money, then shook my head.
09:15This can't be ended.
09:17It's already too late.
09:22That night, I didn't go home.
09:26I checked into a cheap hotel with the $200 Evelyn had thrown at me.
09:31That was all the money I had left.
09:33Everything else had already been spent.
09:35On Jason's hospital bills.
09:36On treatments.
09:38On survival.
09:39When we were short just $200, even the hospital staff didn't believe it.
09:45How can someone be so poor they don't even have that?
09:49But I was.
09:50I cleaned apartments for $50 an hour.
09:53I collected scrap and trash in the Northern District for $80 a trip.
09:57And still, Jason's school fees were $300,000 a year.
10:02His monthly allowance alone was $8,000.
10:05I never stopped working.
10:07Never stopped saving.
10:09Never stopped cutting myself down to nothing.
10:11In the end, I scraped together just over $50,000.
10:15And I gave it all to save my son.
10:18I truly had nothing left.
10:21I thought Evelyn was struggling too.
10:23I thought she was drowning in research expenses.
10:26Supporting students, funding projects.
10:28Burdened by family.
10:34I was wrong.
10:35She had already become a renowned academic.
10:37One project alone could bring in millions.
10:43And all of it went to Sebastian.
10:50I know it sounds pathetic at my age to still care about something like this.
10:54But after 30 years of scraping and sacrificing,
10:58shouldn't there be an answer?
11:00That night, away from them,
11:03I slept better than I had in years.
11:05In my dream, I was back in the village where it all began.
11:09Evelyn was the only educated girl there.
11:12Every family wanted her for their son.
11:14But she chose me.
11:16She said we were promised since childhood.
11:19She bought a bicycle with all her savings and called it her dowry for me.
11:24I brought her out of the village, into the town school.
11:27I worked double shifts, triple shifts at the factory, harder than anyone else.
11:32Evelyn built a small flashlight for me, so I could walk home safely at night.
11:38Whenever she could, she waited for me after shifts, no matter how late.
11:42And before her morning classes, she still prepared food for me.
11:46Back then, I thought I had married the best woman in the world.
11:50So when did it change?
11:56Maybe...
11:56It started when she was transferred to the city's elite school.
12:00She was 28, young, admired, full of future.
12:04I was 30, already worn down like a man twice my age.
12:09I was assigned to a factory near her school.
12:12That's where she met Sebastian, the supervisor.
12:15He was educated, like her.
12:17Polished, confident, effortless in speech.
12:20And I, I was just working.
12:23Surviving, unaware of what was forming behind my back, for 25 years.
12:30So what was I, in all of this?
12:32Her husband?
12:33The father of her children?
12:35Or just a tool she never stopped using?
12:39The next morning, I went to the bank.
12:42I checked my pension account with my ID.
12:44I withdrew what was left, just a few thousand dollars.
12:48Then I walked into a shopping mall and bought something I had wanted for years.
12:52A massage device, for my back.
12:55My spine had been damaged for a long time.
12:57Even the doctor said, it couldn't be fully fixed.
13:00Every time I mentioned the pain, Evelyn would sigh.
13:05Everyone has back pain, don't be dramatic.
13:07I wasn't being dramatic.
13:09I just realized, this family is no longer worth my devotion.
13:13I came back from the mall with takeout in my hands.
13:16No cooking, no chores, no noise.
13:20For the first time in years, I felt strangely light.
13:23I even hummed as I unlocked the door.
13:25Then I heard scream.
13:26I dropped everything and rushed inside.
13:29Jason was on the floor, just out of surgery, unable to move properly.
13:32I lifted him onto the sofa in a panic.
13:35Before I could speak, he snapped at me.
13:37Where were you last night?
13:38Do you even care about this family anymore?
13:41Because of you upsetting mom, this is happening to me!
13:44Then he ordered me to wash fruit for him like nothing had happened.
13:48I stopped.
13:49I understood immediately.
13:51Evelyn knew I was pulling away.
13:52So she used Jason as pressure.
13:55She always knew where to strike me.
13:57I looked at my son differently now.
13:59He was like her.
14:00Sharp.
14:01Proud.
14:02Used to being obeyed.
14:03His entire future depended on her side of the family.
14:06And I was just the inconvenient one.
14:08When he was small, he clung to my neck and said,
14:11Dad, I'll love you forever.
14:14Back then, I was the only one raising him.
14:17So he loved me the most.
14:19Now that he was grown, I had become replaceable.
14:23I looked at him lying there, ordering me around.
14:27Do it yourself.
14:29I said calmly.
14:30He stared at me like I had changed into someone else.
14:33Then he called Evelyn.
14:35Her voice came through the speaker, calm as always.
14:38Don't worry.
14:39I'll deal with it when I finish things with Sebastian.
14:41Just coax your father.
14:43He'll calm down.
14:44As if I was predictable.
14:45As if I could never leave.
14:47I almost laughed.
14:48Then my phone rang again.
14:50It's Leo, the lawyer.
14:52Sir, we found something serious.
14:54Your wife and Sebastian registered a marriage abroad 20 years ago.
14:57They also have a child together.
15:28whose husband still lost an offering.
15:29I had a child with one husband who I can't do the best,
15:39Sous-titrage FR ?
16:10Sous-titrage FR ?
16:56Silence hit me first.
16:58So this was what my son meant when he defended them.
17:00So this was the clean relationship they insisted on.
17:04My hands started shaking.
17:06I thanked the lawyer and ended the call.
17:08Then I collapsed onto the floor.
17:10Everything I'd built had been a lie I was never allowed to question.
17:14For days, I stayed in the same house with Jason.
17:17We barely spoke to each other.
17:18On the fifth day, Evelyn returned.
17:20She walked in like nothing had happened, carrying a box.
17:24Daniel, look what I brought you.
17:25She opened it.
17:26It's honey pastries.
17:28I had been diabetic for years, but she still brought them.
17:31I turned away without touching them.
17:33I came back with divorce agreement.
17:36I placed it on the table.
17:37Sign it.
17:38For the first time, she looked at me like she didn't understand me at all.
17:42Before she could speak, I added the final file.
17:45The lawsuit.
17:46Evelyn.
17:47Adultery.
17:48Bigamy.
17:49Asset mispanipulation.
17:51I'm not just divorcing you.
17:53I'm taking back everything you stole from me.
17:56She tried to speak, but her voice broke.
17:59I cut her off.
18:01There was nothing left to hear.
18:03See you in court.
18:06After the confrontation, I stopped caring about their moods.
18:09For the first time in decades, I felt free.
18:13Evelyn kept calling, trying to explain.
18:16I blocked her number.
18:18I moved out.
18:19Then the entire family started calling me.
18:22Relatives, elders, everyone.
18:25Asking me not to make a scene.
18:27But I ignored them all.
18:29Before I became a full-time house husband,
18:31I worked as an accountant at the factory.
18:34I spent my whole life balancing numbers.
18:37I never thought the final account I would settle
18:40would be my marriage.
18:42I bought a train ticket for a trip out of town.
18:45When I came back home to pack my things,
18:47Evelyn came back.
18:49She saw the suitcase and froze.
18:51Then she forced a smile.
18:53I admit it.
18:54I did send money to Sebastian.
18:57But I never betrayed you.
18:59I never betrayed this family.
19:01Our marriage abroad was only for his child's registration.
19:04It was fake.
19:06Nothing real happened.
19:07And without him, Jason wouldn't have finished his PhD so smoothly.
19:12Daniel, you have to believe me.
19:16Daniel, you have to believe me.
19:18I looked at her quietly.
19:22All these years you gave Sebastian everything, I said.
19:26When you traveled with him, lived in luxury with him,
19:29did you ever think about what I was eating?
19:34Now you say it meant nothing.
19:36How convenient.
19:37She kept talking, defending herself.
19:40Sebastian was alone.
19:41I was just helping him.
19:43Jason understands me.
19:45Why can't you?
19:48I almost laughed.
19:49So I asked myself, what about me?
19:52Who helped me raise the children alone?
19:55Who helped me survive all those years?
19:58No one.
19:59I closed my suitcase.
20:01Keep your reasons.
20:02Go be his family then.
20:03And don't forget to register your marriage properly this time.
20:06I walked out before she could stop me.
20:12I went into the mountains and checked into a small countryside inn.
20:16For the first time in decades, I lived only for myself.
20:20I sat on a wooden rocking chair outside,
20:23looking at the green mountains.
20:25It felt like I had been reborn.
20:29On the 15th day at the Countryside Inn,
20:31I received a call from my daughter, Emily.
20:34When I first left, she had already called once.
20:37I told her I just needed some air and to not worry.
20:40She didn't ask much, only told me to rest
20:43and call her if anything happened.
20:45Unlike Jason, who never cared how I was doing,
20:48Emily had always been different.
20:50She didn't interfere much in the family,
20:52but she never stopped caring about me.
20:5415 days passed before she called again.
20:57This time, her voice was more serious.
20:59She asked me what I planned to do next
21:01and whether I had somewhere to stay.
21:04Dad, I should tell you something.
21:07I'm divorced too.
21:09Don't misunderstand.
21:11I'm not asking you to take care of me.
21:13I just don't want you to be alone.
21:15I worry about you living by yourself.
21:18I understood immediately.
21:19Emily had always been the responsible child.
21:22While I was drowning in housework and survival,
21:25she would quietly help me whenever she could.
21:27Unlike Jason, who only watched from the side.
21:30But in Evelyn's eyes, everything Emily did was expected.
21:35A daughter was supposed to endure, supposed to sacrifice.
21:38So when Emily grew up, I encouraged her to leave,
21:41to build her own life.
21:42I never expected she had already gone through a divorce.
21:46I left the countryside inn that day and went straight to her home.
21:49It was warm, like a real home.
21:51Emily's daughter, my granddaughter, was already grown.
21:55A top student, preparing for exams.
21:57To welcome me, Emily picked her up from school early.
22:00We went to a nice restaurant for dinner.
22:02I rarely ate outside.
22:03Even my 60th birthday had been a simple home-cooked meal, made by me.
22:07Dad, Emily said softly.
22:09You'll stay with us from now on.
22:11My granddaughter, Ava, handed me a gift.
22:13A watch.
22:14Expensive looking.
22:15I hesitated immediately, worried about the cost.
22:18But Emily just smiled.
22:19I can afford it now.
22:20I'm a senior manager at an international company.
22:23We'll be fine.
22:24After Ava's exams, I'll take you both traveling.
22:27You've worked your whole life.
22:28Now it's your turn to rest.
22:30For the first time, I felt my life hadn't been completely wasted.
22:35Back home, Emily had already prepared a room for me.
22:38I noticed how few clothes I had brought.
22:40She said she would take me shopping on the weekend.
22:43Then she asked quietly,
22:44Why didn't you tell me about the divorce?
22:46That was the question I had avoided, too.
22:49I was afraid she wasn't doing well.
22:51Afraid my decision years ago had hurt her life.
22:54But she just held my hand and smiled.
22:56Dad, no one survives by holding on to the wrong people.
22:59If someone makes your life heavier, you don't owe them your suffering.
23:03You were just too focused on keeping the family together.
23:07I stayed silent.
23:08She was right.
23:09A truth I only learned at the end of my life.
23:12But she had learned it much earlier.
23:13And maybe that was the only comfort left for me now.
23:16Dad, this time, can you really stay firm?
23:22Can you really stop caring about Mom and Jason?
23:25I talked with Emily for a long time that day.
23:33Thirty-five years.
23:35Had I not cared enough already?
23:38What did I get in return?
23:40Evelyn took everything I did as something she deserved.
23:43Jason treated my existence like an inconvenience.
23:46If I still couldn't let go now,
23:48then my entire life would truly be wasted.
23:51They don't matter to me anymore.
23:53I only care about myself now.
23:55And you and Ava, that's enough.
24:03After that, my life became simple.
24:05I signed up for a few hobby classes.
24:08I met new people.
24:10Sometimes I helped Emily with housework
24:12or cooked meals when I felt like it.
24:15She always told me not to overdo it.
24:18She even gave me money sometimes,
24:20telling me to buy things for myself.
24:23I stayed at her home for two months.
24:25And I could already imagine
24:27what life looked like on the other side.
24:31Without me, the house must have fallen apart.
24:34Jason had moved out after recovering,
24:37living with classmates.
24:38No one was cleaning.
24:40No one was maintaining anything.
24:42Laundry piled up.
24:43Dirty dishes filled the sink.
24:45The smell of decay filled the kitchen.
24:48Evelyn was no longer the composed woman she used to be.
24:51She had become someone
24:52who could barely take care of herself.
24:54Her hair had turned whiter.
24:56Her clothes were unwashed for days.
24:59One night, the power went out
25:00because the bill wasn't paid.
25:01She walked through the dark house,
25:03hitting furniture she couldn't see.
25:05And only then did she realize something.
25:08A home doesn't stay in order by itself.
25:10It is maintained by someone
25:12who never stopped working.
25:13Now that person was gone.
25:15Her life collapsed into chaos.
25:18She started calling Jason.
25:19Jason, the electricity bill hasn't been paid.
25:22Jason, come home for dinner.
25:24Jason, how do I use the washing machine?
25:27At first he answered.
25:29Then he stopped picking up.
25:30Even Jason, who had once depended on her,
25:33grew tired of her voice.
25:35Evelyn spent her life traveling with Sebastian,
25:39eating in luxury restaurants,
25:41living as if she were finally free.
25:43She thought that was happiness.
25:45But she forgot the man who stayed behind.
25:48The man who raised the children.
25:50Who maintained the house.
25:51Who gave up everything.
25:53She had forgotten her husband.
25:54Me.
25:55Now, alone in the dark,
25:57she finally understood.
25:58I was wrong.
26:00But regret doesn't fix anything.
26:02She sat in the darkness for an entire night.
26:05A few days later, her lawyer came again.
26:08Mrs. Chin,
26:09the divorce case is approaching trial.
26:13I came to add more documents.
26:15Evelyn had already turned him away twice before.
26:17But this time,
26:19she stood up slowly and let him in.
26:21Leo.
26:21She said hoarsely.
26:22I can agree to the divorce.
26:24I can return everything.
26:25Just let me see Daniel once more.
26:28I can.
26:29Evelyn knew I had already made my decision.
26:32There was no turning back.
26:34But she still wanted to see me one last time.
26:36At least to say a proper apology.
26:39For 35 years of my life.
26:41For everything I had done for that family.
26:43For the lies she built around me.
26:46She wanted to say it to my face.
26:48So her lawyer called me again.
26:50I didn't even hesitate.
26:51I refused.
26:53There was nothing left to meet for.
26:55I had waited for an apology for 30 years.
26:57Now I was old.
26:59I didn't need it anymore.
27:01No need to meet.
27:02Let's keep whatever dignity is left.
27:04If she doesn't want court,
27:06we can settle through agreement.
27:08Because I didn't even want to see her in court anymore.
27:11Evelyn gave a bitter smile when she heard it.
27:13I was wrong.
27:14I was wrong.
27:15Evelyn was wrong.
27:15She whispered.
27:17I really was wrong.
27:19Then she asked her lawyer, Leo, one last thing.
27:22Can you give him my apology?
27:24She took out a bank card and a document.
27:26This is everything I have left.
27:28And this is the divorce certificate from abroad.
27:31I'm not asking him to forgive me.
27:33I just think he deserves closure.
27:37Her hands shook as she signed the divorce papers.
27:40Daniel, I trapped you for your whole life.
27:43I'm sorry.
27:46I respect your decision.
27:48I set you free.
27:49Tears ran down her face as she signed her name.
27:52The agreement was complete.
27:54Two signatures.
27:55The marriage was over.
27:58My lawyer called me again.
28:01It's done.
28:02She signed everything.
28:03At that moment,
28:04my life finally broke away from hers.
28:07A few seconds later,
28:08my phone rang again.
28:10A transfer notification.
28:11Evelyn had sent everything she owned to my account.
28:1430 years of guilt.
28:16Paid in full.
28:17I didn't refuse it.
28:18Because it was never a gift.
28:20It was what I had already earned.
28:22To celebrate my freedom,
28:23I went to the market.
28:24I bought food my daughter and granddaughter liked.
28:27My granddaughter, Ava,
28:28had just finished her entrance exams.
28:30When they came home,
28:32I told them everything.
28:33Your mother and I are officially divorced.
28:35She transferred me a sum of money.
28:37I want to use it to take both of you on a trip.
28:39Emily agreed immediately.
28:41But she didn't let me spend that money.
28:44She booked everything herself.
28:48Dad, keep it for yourself.
28:50You'll need it later.
28:51So I kept part of it aside.
28:54The rest I used for the trip.
28:56That whole summer,
28:57we traveled together.
29:05One autumn afternoon,
29:07my phone rang.
29:08Dad, Jason called me.
29:10Mom is in the hospital.
29:12I see.
29:12It's Emily.
29:13Her voice was serious.
29:15Then Jason himself called me.
29:17Dad,
29:18I know you and Mom are divorced,
29:20but she wants to see you.
29:21Please, can you come?
29:22No.
29:24I didn't even wait for him to finish.
29:28Because I knew what it really meant.
29:30Just another request for me to return
29:32and take care of everything again.
29:34To become the caretaker again.
29:37I had escaped once.
29:39I would not go back.
29:41They had lived freely
29:42by pushing everything onto me.
29:44Now it was my turn.
29:46To live as if none of it
29:48belonged to me anymore.
29:54Jason, I've already told you.
29:56Your mother and I are divorced.
29:57Her matters have nothing to do
29:58with me anymore.
29:59I hung up the phone.
30:01I thought that was the end of it.
30:03But Jason still came.
30:04He stood in front of me
30:05and called out,
30:07Dad,
30:09Mom doesn't want anything.
30:11She just wants to see you.
30:15We're not asking you
30:16to take care of her.
30:18If it wasn't for you,
30:20I wouldn't have grown up like this.
30:22Mom wouldn't have lived
30:23so well either.
30:27His voice was steady,
30:28honest.
30:29I'm sorry.
30:30For a moment,
30:31I almost believed it.
30:32Maybe they really had realized
30:34my value after I left.
30:36But understanding
30:37comes too late sometimes.
30:40Once a person's heart goes cold,
30:42nothing can warm it again.
30:44I won't go back.
30:45If your mother needs care,
30:46hire a caregiver.
30:47I can pay half.
30:52Emily stood beside me.
30:53If there's a cost,
30:54I'll cover half.
30:56The rest is your responsibility.
30:59Jason frowned.
31:00A star is no that here.
31:01But you'd even
31:02unlooking in the never half?
31:03Do you even know
31:04how expensive caregivers
31:05are right now?
31:06I have a family,
31:07loans,
31:08everything.
31:09I can't afford this.
31:11Mom gave all her money to you.
31:13Shouldn't you return some of it?
31:14I almost laughed.
31:16So that was it.
31:17Jason,
31:18I said slowly.
31:19That money is what
31:20your mother owes
31:21for 30 years.
31:23People pay for what they do.
31:25I won't take anything out.
31:26If you still see me
31:28as your father,
31:29then leave.
31:30Silence.
31:31Then he spoke again,
31:32softer this time.
31:34Dad,
31:35can you really bear
31:36to see her alone like this?
31:38Before I came,
31:39she said,
31:39even if she dies,
31:41she just wants to see you once.
31:43I remembered something
31:44I had heard recently.
31:45Sebastian was dead.
31:46Fell down a staircase abroad.
31:48The man she had spent
31:49her entire life protecting
31:51was gone first.
31:52Funny how life works.
31:53People chase illusions
31:54for decades
31:55and end up abandoned
31:56by them in the end.
31:57I looked at Jason,
31:59then said coldly,
32:00then let her go.
32:01She spent her whole life
32:02with him anyway.
32:03Let her continue.
32:04I turned and left
32:05without another word.
32:06The sun was setting.
32:07Golden lights spilled
32:08across the trees.
32:09quiet and distant.
32:11I sat down on a bench
32:12and watched it fall.
32:13Do not think the sunset
32:15means the end,
32:16the old saying goes.
32:17Even at dusk,
32:18the sky is still full of light.
32:20My life had not ended.
32:22It had simply turned.
32:23And for whatever years remained,
32:25I would finally live for myself.
