00:02C'est parti !
00:30The day we heard the news of Dad's death, it was December, right after a blizzard.
00:34My mom was feeding the cattle barefoot. Grandmother never allowed her to wear shoes.
00:39She said a bitch like her didn't deserve them.
00:41I often went to the woods to gather branches for warmth, but my uncle would always snatch them away for
00:47his fireplace.
00:48No matter how we begged, it was useless. Grandmother would beat us and curse us for days.
00:54I felt sorry for Mom and tried to help her feed the cows.
00:57Baby, go play over there. The sun is out, it's warmer there.
01:02My shoes were torn and falling apart. The sun was our only source of heat.
01:06After feeding the cows, we went back to the cabin. Grandmother was already waiting, fuming with rage.
01:12What took you so long? Were you out looking for other men again?
01:16She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
01:19The army sent word. Jason is dead. Ever since he married you, my son was cursed by your bad luck.
01:25She didn't look sad about her son's death at all. There had to be a secret behind this.
01:30Now that he's gone, get out of this house. Don't stay here and ruin the Hudson family name.
01:36She looked at us with disgust and kept grumbling.
01:39Luckily, my son sold you to Rick before he left. Otherwise, we would have lost so much money feeding you
01:45two.
01:45My mom didn't fight back. She just picked up her coat and held my hand tight.
01:50Mom, at least let me take the child with me.
01:53Grandmother looked me up and down. She had a wicked look in her eyes.
01:57That depends on if that old farmer pays more.
02:03A girl her age could fetch $2,000 at the town. She's worth much more than you.
02:10My mom gripped my hand even harder. We both knew the truth. As soon as she marries Rick, grandmother will
02:18sell me away.
02:19It was the day we were driven to Rick's ranch. The legendary monster was there, chopping wood.
02:24Each swing of his axe was terrifying. One of his legs was broken and propped on a wooden stool.
02:30He looked strange and menacing. A huge scar ran from his left eye down to his mouth.
02:35It looked like his face was split in two. I hid behind my mom, trembling.
02:39Rick looked at us coldly.
02:42You're forcing this woman on me for $500? Now you want $2,000 more?
02:47He clearly didn't want my mom. And he definitely didn't want a burden like me.
02:51My son Jason saved your life in that blizzard. Now that he's gone, you should be grateful to take her.
02:56This girl will be your daughter. It's a blessing. $2,000 is a bargain for you.
03:01$2,000 was a lot of money. It could buy so many seeds. I knew I wasn't worth that much.
03:07Rick glanced at grandmother but said nothing. People said he was a man of few words.
03:12But one look from him could scare anyone to death. Grandmother shoved my mom forward.
03:17My mom's thin body almost hit the ground. She pulled me along and knelt down instantly.
03:22Rick, my child eats very little. She can feed the cows and collect firewood.
03:27Please, give us a way to live!
03:30His eyes were sharp, judging me.
03:32Call him Dad.
03:34I looked at Rick and that terrifying scar.
03:38Dad.
03:39Rick froze. His scar looked even more twisted. Grandmother kicked me hard in the back.
03:44Your father just died and you're already calling him Dad! Just like your mother, a traitor to the...
03:51She kept kicking me over and over. I lay on the ground, motionless. I didn't fight back or scream.
03:57I knew if she had her fun, she would eventually stop. Mom crawled over to save me.
04:02But grandmother slapped her across the face. This was life in the Hudson house.
04:07Mom couldn't save me, and she couldn't save herself.
04:11Suddenly, Rick threw a roll of cash at grandmother's feet.
04:14And enough!
04:16This girl belongs to my family now.
04:18Grandmother took the money and tried to leave. But Rick stopped her. He demanded she sign the guardianship transfer agreement.
04:25Grandmother refused. Rick snatched the money back instantly.
04:28No signature, no money.
04:30In the end, she gave in for the cash. Mom and I officially became part of Rick's family.
04:36Mom folded our two ragged coats by the cow shed. She started working right away. She wanted to be useful.
04:41She thought hard work would keep us from being beaten. Rick's cabin was simple.
04:47Three rooms and a living area. Only one bedroom had a bed. The other rooms were empty.
04:52Mom took me to the cow shed. It was kept very clean. Mom found some wooden boards to make me
04:57a bed.
04:58I will sleep here tonight. Don't be afraid, baby.
05:02I spread hay over the boards. I'm not scared, Mom.
05:07It was the same back at the Hudson Ranch. When Dad was home, he said I was in the way.
05:11He always kicked me out to the cow shed. The Hudson's shed was much filthier.
05:15There were rats and snakes everywhere. Freezing in winter and boiling in summer.
05:20I survived all those years. Mom hugged me tightly.
05:26It's my fault I couldn't keep your father's heart.
05:29Dad was always hurting to Mom. I knew there was a secret behind all this.
05:34Mom, why did Dad want you to marry Rick?
05:36Before, Dad never let her leave the ranch. He never let her look at anyone in the eye.
05:41Grandmother always cursed her for flirting with outsiders.
05:45Why the sudden rush to marry her off?
05:47Mom's bitter laugh was muffled in her chest. Her voice was barely a whisper.
05:52Because only Rick had this much money.
05:55She didn't finish the sentence, but I knew.
05:59Dad sent Mom here to die.
06:00Dad decided to sell Mom for money before he even left.
06:03He wasn't coming back, and he didn't want Mom to survive.
06:06He wanted to cut off her every means of escape.
06:09Even as a child, I could see their plot.
06:11It was so obvious that all the neighbors were talking about it.
06:14A moment later, Rick came back. He ignored us.
06:17He carried a pile of wooden boards into the house.
06:20The sound of his heavy hammering echoed, hitting our hearts.
06:23Mom stood outside, hesitant.
06:25She wanted to ask where the flour and beef were so she could cook.
06:28But she didn't dare.
06:29After a while, Rick came out.
06:31He saw us standing there like statues and frowned.
06:33Something wrong?
06:35His voice was gruff.
06:36I wanted to shrink back.
06:37But it was just me and Mom.
06:39If I backed down, she would be all alone.
06:42I stood my ground and held her hand tight.
06:44Rick noticed my move and his brow twitched.
06:47Mom asked hesitantly.
06:49I wanted to ask about dinner.
06:52Please give me the ingredients so I can cook.
06:57Rick frowned again, looking at us with confusion.
07:00He pointed toward the kitchen.
07:02In there.
07:05And the key?
07:06Rick's frown deepened.
07:08He walked over and kicked the door open.
07:09Then he looked back at us.
07:11I felt like he was asking if we were stupid.
07:13There was no lock, so why would there be a key?
07:15But things were different at the Hudson Ranch.
07:17The Hudson kitchen was always locked.
07:19Even the flour, beef, and butter were kept in locked cabinets.
07:22Mom cooked every meal, but grandmother decided every gram of food.
07:26She would put the exact amount on the counter and watch Mom cook.
07:30If a single grain of flour was dropped, she would scream for hours.
07:34She called Mom a money waster and called us starving ghosts.
07:36All you do is eat!
07:39You're useless!
07:41She was afraid we would steal food.
07:42Mom led me into the kitchen.
07:44Seeing the flour, beef, and butter sitting there made her hesitate.
07:47She looked at Rick, but he had already gone back outside.
07:50Mom didn't dare touch the food.
07:52She was afraid that if she messed up, Rick would beat her.
07:54Just like grandmother did.
07:55She was afraid of being accused of stealing.
07:57Mom made dinner with trembling hands.
08:00She put the food on the table.
08:01But we stood in the yard, not daring to move.
08:05Rick came back carrying two large wooden crates.
08:08He put them into the empty, unused room.
08:11He saw the food and then saw us standing outside.
08:14His frown deepened.
08:15He sat down at the table and called us inside in a gravelly voice.
08:19While he ate, he grunted,
08:21Not enough. Make more tomorrow.
08:23He ate quickly, finishing half and leaving the rest for us.
08:26Then he stood there, chopping wood while watching us eat.
08:30We didn't dare to eat much, but I soon noticed something strange.
08:34When I took big bites, he focused on his work.
08:36The moment I put down my fork, he would stare at me and frown.
08:40Did he want us to eat more?
08:42We finished the meal in fear, waiting for the beatings to start.
08:46But Rick didn't yell or hit us.
08:48He just put away his axe and spoke.
08:52Wash up and go to sleep. It's been a long day.
08:55After Rick finished, Mom took me to wash up.
08:58We hadn't used hot water in three years.
09:00She kept muttering as she washed, her face full of nerves.
09:04I must get clean. Then he won't hate me.
09:07The hot water hit my back and I felt warm instantly.
09:10I never knew a bath could feel this good.
09:13At the Hudson Ranch, this was a heaven I couldn't even imagine.
09:16After the bath, I headed to the cow shed to sleep.
09:19Mom pulled me aside.
09:20Cover your ears.
09:22No matter what you hear, don't come out.
09:24Just pretend you're asleep.
09:26Okay?
09:27I nodded hard. I understood.
09:30Back then, Dad would come home drunk and beat me in the shed.
09:33He called me a waste of money and a curse.
09:35He blamed me for his gambling losses.
09:37One time, he almost killed me.
09:39Mom had to grab an axe to fight him off just to save me.
09:41Now, looking at Rick, he was much stronger than Dad.
09:45He could probably kill me with one kick.
09:47But he wasn't drunk and he wasn't angry.
09:49He picked me up like a little chick and carried me into the empty room.
09:53Mom was already waiting there.
09:54The room wasn't empty anymore.
09:56There was a wide wooden bed inside.
09:58It was piled with old but clean quilts and two sets of warm clothes.
10:02Rick set me down and turned to leave.
10:04He went back to his own room and closed the door.
10:07Soon, I heard him snoring.
10:08I never thought I'd get to sleep inside a house again.
10:11That night, we slept restlessly, but it was so warm.
10:15I curled up in my quilt and whispered,
10:17Mom, it's so warm.
10:19I had never felt this warm in winter before.
10:21My stomach was full and my heart felt safe.
10:24For the first time, I felt like I was actually alive.
10:28Mom stroked my hair.
10:29Baby, you called him Dad today.
10:32Call him that tomorrow and every day after.
10:35I nodded.
10:37Okay.
10:37Rick was already much better to me than my real father.
10:40After that, Mom slowly started making more food.
10:43She was careful, adding just a little more each time.
10:47It took days for her to figure out Rick's temper and appetite.
10:50He ate a lot, as much as Mom and me combined.
10:52But he never told us we couldn't eat.
10:54In fact, if we ate too little, he would frown.
10:57He went hunting in the mountains around the ranch.
10:59He sold the big one in town.
11:01But sometimes he brought back rabbits or pheasants for Mom to stew.
11:04He only ate half and left the rest for us.
11:06In my whole life, I had only tasted meat three times.
11:09This was the fourth.
11:10The meat tasted so good.
11:12No wonder grandmother and my uncle loved it so much.
11:14Mom saw how happy I was and gave me extra.
11:17I ate so much that I didn't notice the pain until midnight.
11:20I was rolling on the bed in agony.
11:22Mom rubbed my stomach, but nothing worked.
11:24She gave me hot water, but I threw it up instantly.
11:27I felt like I was dying.
11:29Rick burst into the room.
11:30He wrapped me in a quilt and hoisted me onto his shoulder.
11:33He started running.
11:35Mom stumbled along behind him, too scared to say a word.
11:38He ran all the way to the town doctor's house.
11:41He kicked the door open.
11:42The doctor's family was terrified.
11:44They started to complain, but one look at Rick's face silenced them.
11:48The doctor checked me with a stethoscope.
11:50He asked what I had eaten.
11:51It's indigestion.
11:53She ate too much.
11:54She's been malnourished for years.
11:56Her body can't handle this much meat all at once.
11:59I'll give her something to throw it up.
12:01He poured something into my mouth.
12:03I vomited everything out.
12:04The room smelled awful.
12:06The doctor's wife grumbled in the corner.
12:08Clearly, she's never had anything good in her life.
12:10She doesn't have the luck to enjoy good food.
12:13Rick looked up and gave her a death stare.
12:15She scurried back into her room, terrified.
12:18I felt so ashamed.
12:19I got sick just from eating meat.
12:21Maybe grandmother was right.
12:22Maybe I was just a starving ghost who didn't deserve anything.
12:26Rick carried me back home.
12:28On the way, he asked in a low voice.
12:30Have you never had meat before?
12:32I thought he was judging me.
12:34This was only my fourth time before I only ever had a bite.
12:39At the Hudson's, they wouldn't even give us the leftover broth.
12:42I truly had never had anything good.
12:44He gave a low grunt.
12:45You'll get used to it if you eat it more often.
12:49I was sick and could only eat rice porridge for a few days.
12:52Rick bought some supplements from town.
12:54Those were expensive things I had never seen before.
12:57I ate rice porridge with nutrient powder every meal.
13:00It was even better than what my mom ate when I was born.
13:04Rick watched me eat every day.
13:06Once my face looked healthy again, he stopped worrying.
13:09He went to fix the doctor's fence.
13:11Then he dragged the doctor back to check my heartbeat.
13:14Only after the doctor said I was fine did he let him go.
13:17He said he was going deep into the mountains to hunt.
13:19He wanted to catch something big.
13:21He would be gone for days and ask mom to pack some food.
13:24Mom mixed butter and brown sugar into the dough.
13:27The flatbread smelled delicious as she baked it.
13:30She also gave him thick insoles and a winter hat she had made.
13:34Rick took the food and looked at the gifts.
13:37He looked at her and his eyes softened.
13:39Christmas is coming soon.
13:41I'll buy you gifts once I sell the big game.
13:44Think about what you want.
13:45Mom and I stood at the ranch gate to see him off,
13:48Watching his limping figure, I couldn't help but shout,
13:51Dad, come back soon!
13:52Rick's body stiffened for a second.
13:54He didn't look back, but he waved his hand.
13:56Go inside. It's cold out here.
13:59We waited for five days, but he didn't come back.
14:04That night, the weather turned even colder.
14:07On the fifth day, snow began to fall from the sky.
14:11Mom looked at the darkening sky, then at me.
14:14She pointed to the food in the kitchen.
14:17She told me to take care of myself and fix something to eat if I got hungry.
14:22I'm going to find him. I'll be back soon.
14:25She put on thick clothes, strapped a dagger to herself, and took a flashlight.
14:31I was too worried to stay, so I hid a small curved knife on myself.
14:36I followed closely behind her.
14:38Where you go, I go, Mom. We're going to bring Dad home.
14:41In my heart, Rick was my father.
14:43He was a thousand times better than my real father.
14:47Mom sighed.
14:48If something really happened to him, you wouldn't survive alone.
14:51Let's go. Together.
14:53We held hands and walked deep into the mountains.
14:56Before, we only gathered firewood at the edge of the woods.
15:00People said there were wolves, wild boars, and man-eating black bears deep inside.
15:06But, as long as I was with Mom and thinking that Dad was waiting for us, I wasn't scared at
15:12all.
15:12Heavy snow fell from the sky.
15:15It was only afternoon, but it was already completely dark.
15:19The path through the woods was extremely hard to walk.
15:22We stepped deep and shallow, sometimes falling into deep holes made of fallen leaves.
15:28Mom pulled me out and used a stick to check the path ahead.
15:31Before long, heavy footsteps came from ahead.
15:36Mom pulled out her dagger, and I gripped my curved knife tightly.
15:40We stared ahead, terrified and alert.
15:44In that moment, I thought, even if I die, I want to die with Mom.
15:48The footsteps grew closer.
15:51A tall, limping figure appeared.
15:53He was dragging a huge black bear, walking with difficulty with every step.
15:58We both froze.
16:00Dad!
16:01I let go of Mom's hand and rushed over suddenly.
16:04I hugged his leg tightly and looked up at him.
16:07The black bear fell heavily to the ground.
16:09What?
16:10What are you doing here?
16:11He looked at us, completely shocked.
16:13He reached out to pick me up.
16:15But he was clearly exhausted, trying several times but failing.
16:19I held tightly to his thigh.
16:21Dad, we came to take you home.
16:24Mom rushed over as well.
16:26Rick, you've been gone for five days, and it started snowing.
16:31She didn't dare say she was worried.
16:34Back then, when my biological father didn't come home for days, Mom went to look for him, too.
16:40I was afraid something happened to you.
16:42But my father just slapped her across the face.
16:45Something happened?
16:46What could happen to a man like me?
16:48It's because you cursed me all day that I'm so unlucky!
16:51After that, Mom never dared to show her worry again.
16:55He wasn't a good husband, a good father, or even a good person.
16:59But Rick just looked at Mom and quirked his lips.
17:02He tried to smile, but maybe he hadn't smiled in years and forgot how.
17:07He gave us an explanation.
17:09This game was too big.
17:10That's why I'm late.
17:13He hoisted the black bear back up and told us to go home.
17:17Go back and start the fire.
17:19I'll be home soon.
17:21That bear was massive.
17:23He must have dragged it for so long that he was completely exhausted.
17:27Yet, he didn't demand our help.
17:29He wanted to carry the burden himself.
17:32Mom saw how tired he was and hesitated.
17:36She didn't want to disobey, but she desperately wanted to help.
17:40I ran forward and grabbed the bear's leg.
17:43Dad, we're going back with you.
17:46I didn't have much strength and the bear's fur felt terrifying.
17:50It was so huge that it looked fierce even in death.
17:54Mom found her courage and ran over too.
17:57We'll help you!
17:59It took all our strength to drag the black bear home.
18:02The snow on the ground was thick now.
18:05The ranch was pitch black and the trail was empty.
18:08We finally made it back.
18:10The giant bear lay in the snow, looking even more fierce.
18:14But I wasn't afraid.
18:16I circled it a few times and ran back to Rick.
18:19I leaned against his leg and looked up.
18:22Dad, you're amazing.
18:24You actually killed a black bear.
18:26Rick was too tired to move, but he reached out.
18:29He gently patted my head.
18:32Yeah.
18:34His hand was large, rough, and heavy.
18:36But when he touched me, it was light and warm.
18:40Jason's hands were big too, but they weren't rough.
18:43He rarely did any real work.
18:46Jason wasn't even that strong.
18:48When he got into trouble in town, he would just curl up and take the hits.
18:53But when he hit me and Mom, he was very strong.
18:56His blows made my head ring every time.
18:59In this place, many men slapped their wives and children.
19:03I used to think all fathers and husbands were like that.
19:06I didn't know someone could be different.
19:09The next morning, before dawn, Rick borrowed a tractor.
19:13He woke us up to go to town and sell the bear.
19:16He knew exactly where to go.
19:18He stopped at a grand luxury house.
19:22A butler came out and greeted him warmly.
19:24They hugged and talked like old friends.
19:27I realized then that Dad could be so full of life.
19:31He could actually talk this much.
19:34Mom and I stayed back, staring at the fancy gates.
19:37We didn't dare step forward.
19:39Dad pointed at us.
19:41The butler looked us over and pulled out a small coin purse.
19:46Here, child. Take this.
19:48I was too scared to take it, but he pressed it into my hand.
19:52Dad nodded, so I finally accepted it.
19:55Thank you.
19:57There was a silver coin inside.
19:59I immediately put the coin in Dad's hand.
20:03Dad, this is for you.
20:05The butler froze for a second, then burst out laughing.
20:10Rick, you have a sweet daughter. You're a lucky man.
20:13He handed me a big apple.
20:16The coin is for your dad, but this is for you.
20:21Keep it for yourself.
20:22Merry Christmas to your family.
20:24The butler bought the bear and invited Dad for a drink.
20:27Won't you come in for a drink?
20:29Rick waved him off and refused.
20:31No, thank you.
20:33We need to buy things for Christmas.
20:36The black bear sold for a lot of money.
20:39Dad took us to the streets.
20:41First, he bought a lot of candy.
20:43He put them into three red socks.
20:46I took one out and put it in my mouth, carefully.
20:49I peeled another one for Mom.
20:52Mom didn't dare to eat and looked at Dad.
20:55She wanted to save it for me, but Dad stopped her.
20:59Too much sugar makes kids sick.
21:02We don't want to see the doctor again.
21:04Mom remembered my stomach ache and didn't give me more.
21:08So, Mom finally opened her mouth and ate the candy.
21:13Dad then took us to buy meat, flour, and butter.
21:17He even bought spices for cooking.
21:20Finally, we went to a clothing store for new coats.
21:24Mom waved her hands and said no.
21:27Our old coats are still good.
21:30I said no, too.
21:31The old quilts and coats Dad gave us were already warm and clean.
21:36That was good enough for me.
21:38I had never worn such nice clothes in my life.
21:42But Dad insisted on buying new ones.
21:46I bought old ones because I was broke.
21:48Now we have money.
21:50In the end, we bought fabric and cotton instead of finished coats.
21:55I can sew quickly.
21:57They'll be ready before Christmas.
21:58She still didn't want to spend too much.
22:01She picked out a plaid fabric for Dad and held it up to him.
22:06Rick, this pattern looks good on you.
22:08It was the first time they were so close.
22:11I think I saw Dad's face turn red.
22:16Dad lifted me up and set me on his shoulders.
22:19I could see so far away.
22:22I laughed out loud.
22:23It was my first time being up this high.
22:26Mom was worried and kept checking Dad's leg.
22:29She was afraid he would get too tired.
22:32After a while, Dad bought me some toys.
22:35He also bought hair clips and brooches for me and Mom.
22:39Brother, your wife and daughter are beautiful.
22:41These brooches from the city suit them perfectly.
22:44Both Dad and Mom blushed at the same time.
22:47On the way back, we sat on the tractor.
22:49I hugged my red socks tightly.
22:52This was the happiest day of my life.
22:54As we passed the Hudson Ranch, I saw Grandmother.
22:58She was feeding the cows in the yard.
23:00My uncle was lounging under the eaves in the sun.
23:03He still had no job and no wife.
23:06He just ate, drank, and wasted his life.
23:09After selling us to Rick, he had that money.
23:11Now he worked even less.
23:13He said he was preparing for a blind date.
23:15Grandmother always called us lazy.
23:17But I never dared to say that my uncle was the laziest one.
23:21I gripped my red socks and stared at them.
23:24Grandmother and my uncle noticed us.
23:25Their eyes widened in disbelief.
23:28Then their faces turned into a hateful scowl.
23:31You two shrewd!
23:33Grandmother was cursing at us.
23:35Dad stopped the tractor.
23:37He threw a stone and hit my uncle right on the head.
23:40My uncle jumped up in pain.
23:42Who did that?
23:44Dad threw another stone into Grandmother's water basin.
23:48They are my wife and daughter now.
23:50If you insult them again, you're dealing with me.
23:54He looked terrifying.
23:55Even with a limp, he stood like a mountain.
23:59Grandmother and my uncle were bullies who feared the strong.
24:02They were furious, but didn't dare say a word.
24:06Mom gripped my hand.
24:08Her eyes turned red.
24:09As we drove away, I looked back.
24:12I could still see their hateful glares.
24:15I suddenly felt brave.
24:17I waved my red socks and made a face at them.
24:21I had a real dad now.
24:23They could never bully us again.
24:25Back home, Mom started decorating the tree and making apple pie.
24:30Dad spent his time fixing everything in the house.
24:32He gathered wood and never stayed idle.
24:36He brought back more pheasants and rabbits.
24:39Eat more meat, then your stomach won't hurt anymore.
24:42I wanted to follow him into the mountains, but he refused.
24:46Kids stay home and play.
24:47I tried to help Mom, but she sent me away too.
24:51Your dad wants you to play.
24:54Go on, you haven't had a chance to be a kid yet.
24:56At the Hudson Ranch, I never had time to play.
24:59Now that I could, I didn't know how.
25:02I walked along the path with some candy.
25:05I saved them carefully, not wanting to eat them.
25:08But then, I ran into some mean kids from a nearby farm.
25:12They swarmed me and grabbed my candy.
25:15You're a brat born from that limp farmer.
25:17Your grandmother said so.
25:19It must be true.
25:20A bitch and her brat.
25:22No wonder her husband just died and she remarried already.
25:25I fought back with all my might.
25:27That's not true!
25:28Grandmother kicked us out!
25:30My mom isn't a bitch and I'm not a brat!
25:34But I was too small.
25:36I couldn't beat them.
25:38My clothes were torn.
25:40My candy was gone.
25:42Even my new hair clip was missing.
25:44They laughed and ran off with my sweets.
25:47I sat in the mud and cried.
25:49Grandmother and my uncle stood nearby, watching with wicked smiles.
25:54You deserve this!
25:56We should have sold them to the town tavern back then!
25:59I screamed at them.
26:01I am not a brat!
26:02You are the bad people!
26:05You are evil!
26:06I was so small back then.
26:08My mom had already had a child.
26:10The tavern would never pay that much for us.
26:12They thought I was too young to understand.
26:15But I had overheard their conversation.
26:17They were the truly wicked ones.
26:19They wanted to leave us at the ranch.
26:21They wanted to watch Rick beat us to death.
26:24But they never expected this.
26:26Dad never hit us.
26:28He never tortured us, even for a second.
26:31He treated us so well.
26:33They couldn't stand it.
26:34So they spread rumors behind our backs.
26:37They framed us everywhere.
26:39Clearly, they are the real monsters.
26:42I lost the hair clip and candy Dad bought me.
26:45I was too ashamed to go home.
26:46I lingered near the gate, hesitating.
26:49Dad came down from the mountain.
26:50He saw me covered in mud and blood.
26:53He dropped his pheasants in shock.
26:55I had never seen him so angry.
26:58Who did this?
26:59I trembled in fear.
27:00I'm sorry.
27:02I'm so sorry.
27:03He panicked, trying to wipe the mud off my face.
27:07Tell Dad, who hit you?
27:10His hands were rough, but they calmed my racing heart.
27:13I stuttered through the whole story.
27:15The more I spoke, the darker his face became.
27:19He took me back and left me with Mom.
27:21Then he grabbed his axe to head out.
27:24Rick!
27:25Mom pulled him back and shook her head.
27:28Dad thought for a moment.
27:30He dropped the axe and grabbed a wooden club instead.
27:34That day, the parents of those bullies all got a beating.
27:37If you can't teach your kids I won't hit them, I'll hit you instead!
27:42Those grown men were chased like rabbits by a man with a limp.
27:49Dad moved slowly but steadily.
27:52He caught up to them and struck them down.
27:55The men wailed in pain.
27:57I'll break your leg!
27:58Everyone in the ranch came out to watch.
28:00Then Dad went to the Hudson ranch.
28:03He gave my uncle a brutal beating.
28:05My uncle screamed and begged for mercy.
28:08He promised he would never do it again.
28:10I won't do it again! I promise!
28:12Dad turned to the crowd of onlookers.
28:15If you have something to say, say it to my face.
28:17No one dared to speak.
28:18They all waved their hands and shook their heads.
28:20We all know what the Hudsons are like.
28:22Just go live your life.
28:24Look at how happy your family is now.
28:26Dad dropped the club.
28:28He patted my head and led me home.
28:33Have you lived this long without a name?
28:36I shook my head.
28:38Grandmother called me a brat.
28:40Mom only called me baby.
28:42Dad pulled me close and looked at the stars.
28:45From now on, your name is Stella.
28:48Shine like a star.
28:49And have a bright future ahead.
28:53For the first time, I had a real name.
28:56Stella Cooper, I have my own name now.
28:59I smiled at Mom.
29:00Dad smiled too and patted my head.
29:03I finally have a daughter of my own.
29:07That night, Mom talked to me.
29:09Stella, you're a big girl now.
29:13Starting tomorrow, you sleep on your own, okay?
29:16If I sleep alone, where will Mom sleep?
29:18I thought about it and nodded hard.
29:21Okay, Mom.
29:22You and Dad have a baby brother or sister soon.
29:25I'll play with them.
29:26This time, I really wanted a sibling.
29:29A sibling just like Dad would be wonderful.
29:33The next morning, Dad woke me up early.
29:36Stella, was I cool when I handled those bad guys yesterday?
29:39I nodded vigorously.
29:40So cool!
29:41If you want to protect yourself, you want to rely on more forever.
29:46You have to rely on yourself.
29:48Do you want like me strong?
29:49I nodded again.
29:51Yes!
29:52I wanted to be strong like him.
29:54I wanted to protect my parents and my future siblings.
29:57I wanted to hunt bears and earn lots of money.
30:01Dad looked proud.
30:02He made me run 50 laps around our ranch cabin.
30:06By the end, I could barely stand.
30:08He gritted his teeth and wouldn't let me stop.
30:11Mom looked pained, but she didn't say a word.
30:15She just made extra food and added two fried eggs for me.
30:18After running, there was weight training.
30:21Dad brought sandbags from the ranch warehouse.
30:24They felt like a thousand pounds on my arms.
30:28After a day of training, my hands and feet were covered in blisters.
30:32Mom washed my feet and popped the blisters for me.
30:35Stella, train hard.
30:38Your dad is doing this for your own good.
30:42I know, Mom.
30:43Most ranch families only teach girls to gather wood, wash clothes, and cook.
30:48Who would ever teach a girl how to be strong?
30:50I understood how much Dad cared for me.
30:53That night, Mom moved into Dad's room.
30:56I heard them talking for a bit before the lights went out.
30:59My body ached all over, but I slept peacefully.
31:02The next morning, Dad woke up late.
31:05I had already finished 30 laps when he came out.
31:08His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep.
31:11All day long, Dad and Mom were blushing.
31:14They kept stealing glances at each other.
31:16Why hide it?
31:18Just look if you want to.
31:20Grown-ups are so strange.
31:21We had a perfect Christmas.
31:23Dad used the bear money to expand the ranch.
31:26He bought two dairy cows and a few beef cattle.
31:28When we weren't farming, we were managing the ranch.
31:31During the off-season, we went hunting.
31:34Dad started taking me into the mountains.
31:36He taught me how to track animals and read their droppings.
31:39He showed me how to avoid bears and wolves.
31:42He taught me to set traps and use a hunting rifle.
31:45He even showed me how to knock someone out with minimal force
31:49and how to spot poisonous plants in the woods.
31:51I was weak, so my progress was slow.
31:54But Dad was always patient.
31:56Our family was happy.
31:57But the rumors never truly stopped.
31:59Most of them came from the Hudson's.
32:01Rick's fault he's a cripple.
32:04That person pretends to be arrogant and married a cripple.
32:08So what if Jason was handsome?
32:10His only talents were hitting us, gambling and drinking.
32:14I started staring at Dad's leg.
32:17Dad noticed and tried to walk slower to hide his limp.
32:20Sometimes he would lean on the ranch fence for support.
32:25Your dad is so good to you, Stella.
32:29Don't be heartless.
32:31Don't look down on him like others.
32:33Mom thought I was becoming ungrateful.
32:35Her eyes turned red with anger, but she couldn't bring herself to hit me.
32:39I quickly grabbed her hand to explain.
32:41Mom, I don't look down on Dad.
32:43I feel bad for him.
32:45I want to study medicine.
32:47I want to fix his leg.
32:49I didn't care that he limped.
32:50I didn't care about the scar on his face.
32:52I just hated seeing him unable to sleep when it rained.
32:56I hated that hunting was harder for him than others.
33:00Mom understood my thoughts, but she was worried.
33:03There were no medical schools in town.
33:05Besides, I was only a six-year-old girl.
33:08Dad overheard us from outside the cabin.
33:10He stayed silent for two days.
33:12He just sat on the bed and looked at me carefully.
33:15He patted Dad's shoulder and agreed happily.
33:17If she wants to learn, she can start as an assistant in the pharmacy.
33:24Stella, studying medicine is very hard.
33:26You have to memorize names, mix medicine, and care for the sick.
33:31People might yell at you or even...
33:34I'll take care of my parents and my future siblings.
33:37The man burst out laughing and nudged Dad's arm.
33:40Rick, your daughter is so sweet.
33:43Is the next one already on the way?
33:46Dad's face turned bright red instantly.
33:48He waved his hands quickly.
33:50It's still too early for that!
33:52I lived at the pharmacy in town, doing odd jobs.
33:55I tried my best to learn everything about medicine.
33:58I only went home to the ranch once every two weeks.
34:01I brought the sandbags Dad gave me to the pharmacy.
34:04No matter how busy I was, I found time to train.
34:07Mom hated leaving me alone in town.
34:10She held my hand and wouldn't let go when she dropped me off.
34:13With red eyes, she told me to eat well and not overwork.
34:17Come home if anyone treats you badly, she said.
34:20I waved and smiled to comfort her.
34:23Don't worry, Mom. I can take care of myself.
34:26When I learn everything, I'll fix Dad's leg.
34:29Mom laughed through her tears and wiped them away.
34:33Alright, I'll be waiting.
34:34I'll make your favorite snacks for when you come home.
34:37The doctor at the pharmacy was an old friend of the butler's.
34:40He was kind to patients, but very strict with apprentices.
34:44If we forgot a drug's name, he yelled.
34:46If we missed a detail in a patient's record, he yelled.
34:49If we took blood pressure incorrectly, he yelled.
34:52Sometimes he made us copy drug names as punishment for being slow.
34:56The other students felt mistreated.
34:58Before long, they all went home crying and never came back.
35:02But I wasn't afraid.
35:03What was this little bit of hardship?
35:05Compared to Grandmother's beatings or Jason's violence, this was nothing.
35:09I was already used to it.
35:11Besides, I knew the doctor wanted me to grow fast.
35:14Just like Dad wanted me to be strong.
35:17The doctor was strict, but he never treated us poorly.
35:20He made plenty of food for us every day.
35:22Sometimes he even gave us nutrient powder.
35:24I might not be the smartest, but I know who was truly kind.
35:27I kept training the way Dad taught me.
35:29I ran five kilometers with weights every morning and night.
35:32I grew stronger, and my movements became faster.
35:35The doctor started teaching me massage techniques.
35:39At first, I practiced on him.
35:40Slowly, I began helping the elderly patients ease their pain.
35:44The doctor worked so hard with his patients in medicine.
35:46I massaged him to help him relax.
35:48He started smiling at me more.
35:50He even taught me about heat and cold therapy.
35:52He said these skills would really help my Dad.
35:55When I went home every two weeks, the first thing I did was massage Dad's leg.
36:00I rubbed the stiff muscles from his knee to his ankle.
36:03Then I used the heat therapy the doctor taught me.
36:06At first, Dad refused.
36:08He thought it was awkward for a man to have his legs rubbed.
36:11I had to beg him for a long time before he finally agreed.
36:14After the massage, he stood up and took a few steps.
36:17His eyes lit up and turned a bit red.
36:20Stella is so smart.
36:22My leg feels much better now.
36:25Mom saw this and asked me to teach her too.
36:27When you're away, I can do it for him.
36:30He worked so hard on the ranch and in the mountains.
36:33I taught them both step by step.
36:35I laughed and said,
36:37When I'm not here, you two can massage each other.
36:39That way, you'll both feel better.
36:41Both their faces turned bright red instantly.
36:44They glanced at each other and quickly looked down.
36:46Mom gave me a little pinch for talking nonsense.
36:49They are so strange.
36:50What is there to be embarrassed about?
36:52I studied in the city for five years.
36:54My medical knowledge and physical strength grew fast.
36:57I went from a skinny little girl to a strong, healthy teenager.
37:02The fear in my eyes was gone, replaced by confidence.
37:05During this time, Mom and Dad never had another child.
37:09Rumors started spreading around the ranch.
37:11Most of them came from the Hudson's.
37:13They claimed Dad couldn't have children.
37:15It must be Rick's fault.
37:17He's disabled.
37:18He probably doesn't even have the strength to father a child.
37:20Maybe that's why his first first wife fought with him before she died.
37:24I overheard some workers gossiping when I returned home.
37:26I clenched my fists, ready to fight them.
37:29But Mom grabbed my hand and stepped forward.
37:31She raised her voice so everyone could hear.
37:32It's my fault!
37:34I was abused at the Hudson's and it ruined my health!
37:37It has nothing to do with my husband!
37:39Rick, stop your lies!
37:41Dad was healthy, but Mom was right.
37:43Years of hunger, heavy labor, and beatings had left her scarred.
37:47She had been taking medicine for five years, but nothing happened.
37:51Mom was anxious and often sat by the creek staring into space.
37:55Sometimes I caught her wiping away tears.
37:57Dad was always there to comfort her.
37:59Raising Stella is enough.
38:02She's smart and capable.
38:04She's worth more than ten sons.
38:08With her around, we have nothing to worry about.
38:16But right then, my biological father, Jason, suddenly returned.
38:21I was at the pharmacy when I saw him.
38:23It was Jason, dressed like a gentleman.
38:25He wore a sharp suit and slicked back hair.
38:28A rich, delicate young woman was by his side.
38:31They looked very close, almost too sweet.
38:34He held her arm with such careful grace.
38:37It was like he was afraid she might break.
38:39I stood there in total shock.
38:42It took me a while to believe my eyes.
38:44Many years had changed me completely.
38:46I wasn't that skinny, dark girl from the ranch anymore.
38:50He didn't recognize me at all.
38:51But I could never forget his face.
38:54No fancy clothes could hide his selfish eyes.
38:57He was still a coward deep down.
38:59Wasn't he supposed to be dead?
39:01How could he be alive and living so well?
39:04I quietly asked the doctor's assistant.
39:06He told me Jason and the woman were married.
39:09They were here to treat infertility.
39:11She was a lady from a wealthy family.
39:13She couldn't get pregnant, no matter what.
39:16They traveled a long way to find our doctor.
39:18As they walked out, Jason held her hand.
39:21He whispered sweet, comforting words to her.
39:24He looked so humble and devoted.
39:26It was a look I had never seen before.
39:28When my mom couldn't give him a son,
39:31he was a completely different monster.
39:33He only knew how to beat and shame her.
39:35He took all his anger out on her life.
39:38I was closing the pharmacy that night.
39:41Jason's face was stuck in my head.
39:43I couldn't focus at all.
39:44I almost put the medicine in the wrong spot.
39:47The doctor gave me a harsh scolding.
39:49Your skill is slipping, slipping, Stella.
39:51Do you still want to fix your dad's leg?
39:53I kept my head down and whispered.
39:55Doctor, I'm just confused.
39:58If a man was supposed to die in war,
40:01but suddenly shows up alive, what happens?
40:03The doctor froze for a second.
40:05Then he let out a cold laugh.
40:07What happens?
40:08He's a deserter.
40:10Running away from battle is a huge crime.
40:14They go to jail or even face death.
40:17My heart skipped a beat.
40:18Jason was a deserter.
40:20I asked the doctor for some time off.
40:22I had to tell my parents the truth.
40:24The doctor saw the look in my eyes.
40:27He knew something was wrong and said yes.
40:30Back at the ranch, I told them everything.
40:32I told them about seeing Jason at the shop
40:34and the fact that he was a coward on the run.
40:38Dad looked at Mom with worry in his eyes.
40:40But Mom's face remained cold and calm.
40:43She just let out a soft sigh.
40:45The Hudsons have nothing to do with us.
40:48Stella, let it go.
40:49We just need to live our own lives.
40:51Dad was so happy she had moved on.
40:53He gripped her hand tight and nodded.
40:56Exactly.
40:57They mean nothing to us.
40:59Don't worry, Stella.
41:00As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you.
41:03We decided to leave the past behind.
41:05We were ready to start our new life.
41:08I had a few days off and stayed at the ranch.
41:11I helped Mom with chores and massaged Dad's leg.
41:14But that night, Jason sneaked to our door.
41:17He knocked on the back door under the moonlight.
41:19He held a paper bag with a smug, greedy smile.
41:23Dad opened the door and his face went dark.
41:26He tried to push him away instantly.
41:29What are you doing here? Get out!
41:32But Jason forced his way inside anyway.
41:34He dumped a stack of cash from the bag.
41:37Don't be so cold, Rick.
41:39Here's two thousand dollars.
41:40I'm paying you back.
41:42Just let her bear me a son for a few years.
41:45Then I'll leave you two alone forever.
41:47We all stared at him in total shock.
41:49I wondered if this man had lost his mind.
41:51But he acted like he was doing us a favor.
41:54My new wife is broken.
41:55She can't have kids.
41:56I need a woman to give me a son.
41:59Then he looked at Dad with a cruel smirk.
42:02Besides, Rick, everyone knows you're a dud.
42:05When she has the baby, just say it's yours.
42:08Then people will stop calling you a useless cripple.
42:11He had it all figured out in his sick head.
42:14He really thought we were all fools.
42:15Jason wanted a son of his own blood.
42:18But he didn't dare tell his rich wife.
42:20So he planned to use my mom in secret.
42:23The plan was to hide the child at our ranch.
42:25Then he would steal the boy back years later.
42:28He already had it all calculated.
42:30But would his current wife ever agree?
42:32He probably had some cruel trick ready.
42:35A way to force her to accept the child.
42:38Living off a wealthy family changed him.
42:40He had become arrogant and delusional.
42:43He didn't even hide his evil plot anymore.
42:46My wife's family has no other heirs.
42:48They took me in because they need a man.
42:50After she left, that fortune belongs to me.
42:53Everything will go to me and my son.
42:55He looked at my mom with fake kindness.
42:58But his voice was still full of cold pride.
43:00This is a great deal for you.
43:02I'll make sure our son takes care of you.
43:05A little of my wealth will keep you rich.
43:07Finally, his eyes landed on me.
43:09He studied me for a long time.
43:11He barely recognized the girl I had become.
43:14His face twisted into a look of disdain.
43:17I didn't expect you to grow up so fast.
43:19I'll find a good future for you too.
43:22You're even prettier than your mother.
43:24Rich men in the city love girls like you.
43:27I'll set you up as a wealthy man's mistress.
43:30You'll live a life of luxury you can't imagine.
43:34I couldn't believe my own ears.
43:36Jason wanted to sell me as a mistress.
43:38How could a father treat his own daughter like this?
43:41Before he could even finish his sentence.
43:44Rick was already shaking with pure rage.
43:46He grabbed the wooden club by the door.
43:49He swung it at Jason with all his might.
43:53I'll kill you, you heartless beast.
43:55Keep dreaming.
43:57Stella will never be a mistress.
44:00Dad was consumed by a burning hatred.
44:03He struck Jason again and again.
44:05Jason screamed and scrambled through the door.
44:08Jason was howling in pain from the beating.
44:10But he still wouldn't shut up.
44:12Think about it.
44:13It's a guaranteed profit.
44:15Don't be so stubborn and stupid.
44:18I don't even want that old woman anymore.
44:20I just want to use her to get a son.
44:23The life is still yours and I'll pay extra.
44:26His disgusting words made Dad hit even harder.
44:29The heavy club almost snapped in half.
44:32Suddenly, Mom rushed out from the room.
44:35Her eyes were blood red with fury.
44:36She looked like she had gone completely mad.
44:39She lunged forward and tackled Jason.
44:41She pinned him down and hammered his chest.
44:44She sobbed and cursed him with every strike.
44:47I am Rick's wife now.
44:48Stay away from me.
44:49You won't bully us ever again.
44:52This was the second time Mom fought back.
44:54The first time she fought to save me.
44:56This second time she fought for herself.
44:59Dad stood by and watched her.
45:01He didn't stop her, but his eyes were full of pain.
45:04When she finally grew tired, he pulled her up.
45:08He held her tight and patted her back.
45:10Mom sobbed loudly against his chest.
45:13She let out years of bitterness and hate.
45:15Jason scrambled away, bruised and bloody.
45:18He looked back and shouted a threat.
45:21You just wait. This isn't over.
45:24We ignored him and held each other tight.
45:27We felt the warmth of our real family.
45:29Mom cried for a long time that night.
45:31She cried for every beating and insult at the Hudson's.
45:35Dad and I stayed by her side.
45:37Finally, she fell asleep in Dad's arms.
45:39Dad gently touched my head.
45:42His eyes were very serious.
45:45Stella, remember this forever.
45:47Never let yourself be someone's mistress.
45:50Rich houses look grand, but they hide deep pain.
45:54I want you to rely on yourself and live with pride.
45:58I nodded hard, tears falling down.
46:01I know, Dad. I won't let you down.
46:04I'll study medicine and train hard.
46:06I will protect you both and build our own life.
46:11I soon returned to the city pharmacy.
46:13Everything seemed to go back to normal.
46:15Until one day, I went out to deliver medicine.
46:18Two strangers suddenly blocked my path.
46:20They were strong and looked dangerous.
46:23Before I could scream, they grabbed me.
46:25They forced me into a sack.
46:26I was being kidnapped in broad daylight.
46:29When I finally woke up, I was tied to a chair in a cold warehouse.
46:34Jason and his wife Lillian stared at me.
46:37Jason wore a fake, kissing up smile.
46:39Lillian, don't be mad.
46:43I'll use her life to force her mother to bear our child.
46:51Then we'll kick them both into the street.
46:53Lillian giggled behind her hand.
46:55She looked delicate, but her eyes were cruel.
46:58She's your daughter.
46:59Don't just throw her away.
47:01Sell her to a butcher later for some cash.
47:04My mouth was gagged, so I just glared.
47:07I cursed them a thousand times in my head.
47:10These two monsters were truly insane.
47:13Lillian left the warehouse with a smirk.
47:15Jason stayed behind and untied my gag.
47:18He snatched the hair clip from my head.
47:20He stuffed it into an envelope for blackmail.
47:22As long as I have you, your mom will obey.
47:26Once I have my son, you're useless.
47:29I'll leave you both to rot in the dirt.
47:31You bastard! Keep dreaming!
47:33My mom won't listen to a coward like you!
47:36And my dad will come and save me!
47:38Jason's face turned purple with fury.
47:40He slapped me so hard I hit the ground.
47:42Blood trickled from the corner of my mouth.
47:45You ungrateful brat!
47:47I ignored the pain and looked up at him.
47:51Don't be so sure it's Lillian's fault.
47:54Maybe you're the one who was broken.
47:58I remembered what the doctor once said.
48:00Jason had refused to be tested at the clinic.
48:02He claimed he already had a child.
48:05But the doctor had laughed behind his back.
48:07A life of waste and sin ruins a man.
48:10He's too ignorant to see the truth.
48:13I knew Jason's body was already failing.
48:15He was living a lie this whole time.
48:17A monster like him deserved nothing.
48:20He deserved to have his bloodline end here.
48:22I stared at him in the eyes and laughed.
48:25The terror on his face was beautiful.
48:29Jason was stung by the truth and flew into a rage.
48:32He struck me again with a heavy blow.
48:35My body trembled with pain but I didn't make a sound.
48:38He wasn't afraid of Lillian hearing him.
48:40In fact, the harder he hit me, the better.
48:43Cruelty toward me was his way of proving a point.
48:46He wanted her to believe he had no feelings for me.
48:49And that he had long forgotten about my mother.
48:51They dragged me along for three agonizing days.
48:55I was given almost no food or water.
48:58When I was thirsty, I licked rainwater from the roof.
49:02My limbs grew numb from being bound so tight.
49:05And new bruises covered my face every single day.
49:09By the third day, I was drifting in and out of sleep.
49:13In my days, I heard a voice that made my heart leap.
49:16It was full of worry and pure, raw anger.
49:21Dad.
49:23Dad's voice thundered outside the warehouse.
49:26Jason, give me back my daughter.
49:29Jason's face turned pale the moment he heard it.
49:31But he tried to act tough and shouted back.
49:34Rick! You cripple!
49:37You dare to follow us?
49:39You don't know your place!
49:42Guards! Kill him!
49:44The warehouse was filled with the sounds of chaos.
49:47Shouts from the guards and Dad's fierce roars.
49:50The fighting didn't last long at all.
49:52The silence was broken by Jason's terrified begging.
49:56Rick, have mercy!
49:58I was wrong!
49:59I'll give your daughter back.
50:01Just stop, stop hitting me!
50:02I squeezed my eyes shut.
50:04Tears finally falling.
50:06My dad, the man everyone called, a cripple.
50:09He had fought through the guards to save me.
50:11I knew then, I was finally safe.
50:13The warehouse door was kicked open with a bang.
50:16Dad rushed in like a madman.
50:18He saw me tied up, covered in bruises and starving.
50:22His eyes turned red with tears and rage.
50:24He ran to me and untied the ropes with trembling hands.
50:27He pulled me into a tight, protective embrace.
50:30Still, I'm so sorry.
50:32Dad came too late.
50:34I let you suffer so much.
50:36His voice was shaking and so were his hands.
50:39Resting against his chest, I finally broke down.
50:42All the fear and pain from the last three days exploded.
50:45Meanwhile, Lillian was screaming in the corner.
50:48Her face was pale, but she still tried to act powerful.
50:51You bastard!
50:53Do you know who I am?
50:55My father is a wealthy merchant.
50:57You're dead!
50:59Dad looked at her with eyes as cold as ice.
51:02The sheer hatred in his gaze silenced her instantly.
51:06You are harboring a deserter and a fugitive.
51:09Think about whether the army will let you go.
51:13Lillian's face turned white as a sheet.
51:16She looked at Jason in total disbelief.
51:20A deserter?
51:22Jason, is he telling the truth?
51:24You told me you were honorably discharged!
51:28It turned out she knew absolutely nothing.
51:30She thought she had found a loyal, reliable husband.
51:33She had no idea she was sleeping next to a coward.
51:37How could someone so rich be so incredibly blind?
51:39She never once questioned Jason's dark past.
51:43She was just a foolish pawn in his game.
51:46I leaned against Dad, a weak smile on my lips.
51:49I looked straight at Lillian's trembling eyes.
51:53Jason had a plan for you all along.
51:55He's waiting for you to die so he can take your wealth.
52:02He only wanted my mom to bear him a son.
52:06A son to inherit your family's money.
52:10And you're still protecting him?
52:12You're such a fool.
52:14Lillian looked at Jason, her world crumbling down.
52:18Lillian trembled with rage as the truth hit her.
52:21She pointed at Jason, her voice trapped in her throat.
52:24Her vision went black, and she nearly collapsed.
52:27Before long, the military police arrived.
52:30We watched as they shackled Jason.
52:33Lillian was also taken away for investigation.
52:35Harboring a deserter is a severe crime.
52:38Dad held me tight, his eyes full of lingering fear.
52:42My precious daughter will never be hurt again.
52:45Later, Mom told me what had happened.
52:47When I didn't come home for two days, Dad went wild.
52:51He searched every corner until he got that envelope.
52:54He didn't hesitate for a second.
52:56He charged straight toward Jason's warehouse.
52:58Dad's old leg injury was acting up.
53:01Every step was agonizing, and he fell twice.
53:04He didn't care about the pain or the blood.
53:06His only thought was my safety.
53:09Because of his bravery, Jason was behind bars.
53:12And the entire Hudson family was dragged down too.
53:15The Hudsons had known Jason was alive all along.
53:19For years, Jason had been sending them secret cash.
53:22Now they screamed that they were innocent.
53:24They claimed they knew nothing about his desertion.
53:27They turned on Jason, cursing him like demons.
53:32You monster!
53:34You've destroyed us all!
53:37Jason didn't back down.
53:39He fought back just as hard.
53:41You didn't say you were innocent when you took my money!
53:43Now that we're caught, you want to blame me?
53:46Keep dreaming!
53:47We're all going down together!
53:50The whole family pointed fingers and barked like mad dogs.
53:53It was a pathetic, ridiculous sight.
53:56They finally got the ending they deserved.
53:58Lillian did not escape her fate either.
54:01For harboring a deserter, her family assets were seized.
54:04Her life was utterly destroyed by Jason's lies.
54:10But I had no time to worry about their downfall.
54:12My only concern was my father's leg.
54:15To save me, he had run for three days and nights.
54:19His old injury had flared up completely.
54:21The pain was so sharp, he couldn't even stand.
54:24He could only lie bedridden in a state of agony.
54:26I brought him directly to the pharmacy.
54:29I became his personal nurse every single day.
54:32I gave him massages and applied herbal ointments.
54:35I followed the doctor's methods to heal his nerves.
54:38The head doctor watched me and praised my progress.
54:42Stella, you are becoming truly skilled.
54:45You will surely become a great physician.
54:50Cold sweat often poured down Dad's forehead from the pain.
54:53But whenever he looked at me, he always smiled.
54:56His eyes were filled with comfort and immense pride.
55:00Our Stella has grown up so well.
55:07You truly are your father's greatest pride.
55:10In this small pharmacy, I finally saw the light.
55:15After a month of treatment, Dad finally improved.
55:18He could slowly get out of bed and walk.
55:20Though he still limped, he was much more agile.
55:23The rainy days no longer kept him awake with pain.
55:26Six months later, Jason was sentenced to death.
55:30On the day of his execution, he looked like a ghost.
55:34Arrogance and greed vanished from his eyes.
55:36He finally paid for everything he owed us.
55:39This was the karma he truly deserved.
55:42Even then, some meddling elders in the village spoke up.
55:45They said I was his daughter and should bury him.
55:48Dad stood before the entire village and roared.
55:51Stella is my daughter! Rick's daughter!
55:56She has nothing to do with that bastard, Jason!
55:59He glared at the gossiping crowd with fierce eyes.
56:03Jason was a deserter and a monster!
56:06Are you to his family?
56:08Are you connected to him?
56:09Should I call the army?
56:11The villagers shut their mouths in an instant.
56:13No one dared to mention Jason's name ever again.
56:17They didn't want to end up like the Hudsons or Lillian.
56:20Under my care, Dad's leg was almost fully healed.
56:24Unless you looked closely, the limp was invisible.
56:27He could hunt and work the ranch like a normal man.
56:30Now, Dad was the happiest man alive.
56:33He walked with a new spring in his step.
56:36Because after all the years of suffering and waiting,
56:39Mom was finally pregnant.
56:41Our true family was finally growing.
56:44The shadows of the past were gone forever.
56:46We will never, ever be apart.
56:48I don't know him!
56:48It's a great sport.
56:51I'm not a guy.
56:54I've never been here.
56:54I can't believe the natural man is ever been born.
56:54I've never been to the home.
56:54I'm sorry.
56:54I have no idea if you want a man.
56:54Maybe it's a man falling apart.
56:54Merci.
