Short filmTranscript
00:02Jasmine, you lost. Your husband and child are mine now. Don't think you can disappear and I'll be powerless. I'll
00:10take everything from you. Even your treatment spot. Just sweet-talk them a bit and give it to me.
00:20Just die already! You trash! You dared to trick me! Why are all those agreements void now?!
00:32Just wait. I'll tell Mom and Dad to go back me up. Jasmine, crawl out already! You better die out
00:42and never come back!
00:47You're actually...
00:49Begging please, just stick around. I'm sorry, don't leave me. I want you here with me. I want you here
01:00with me. You told my mom to die?
01:02I know that your love is gone.
01:05The doctor said I only have three days left to live.
01:08Acute liver failure. Jasmine, you may only have three days left to live.
01:13My only hope was an experimental clinical trial. It was extremely risky, but had the faintest sliver of a chance
01:19to survive.
01:20But my husband, David, gave the last available spot to my adopted sister, Emma.
01:25Jasmine, stop faking being sick just to steal the spot. Emma needs that spot more.
01:31You're her sister. Don't be so selfish.
01:42Emma's condition is still in its early stages. Yours is already critical.
01:47This is the right decision. Emma deserves deserves to live.
01:50So I signed the papers to forgo treatment and took the high dose painkillers prescribed by the doctor.
01:55The cost. My organs would shut down. And I would die.
01:58When I handed over the jewelry company, I poured my heart into, along with all my designs.
02:04To Emma, my parents smiled.
02:06Now that's what a good big sister should do.
02:08When I agreed to divorce David so he could marry Emma, he said it like I had finally passed some
02:13test.
02:15You finally learned to be understanders, Stan.
02:18When I told my daughter to call Emma mom, she clapped her hands.
02:23Emma is such a gentle and kind mother.
02:27When I gave all my assets to Emma, everyone in the family thought it was only natural.
02:33No one noticed anything was wrong with me.
02:35I'm just curious. Will they still be able to smile when they find out I am dead?
02:42Under the sympathetic gaze of the doctor, I tilted my head back and swallowed the high dose painkillers.
02:49My life had entered its final three days.
02:52Leaving the consultation room, I went to Emma's hospital room.
02:55It was warm and peaceful inside.
02:58My mom, Marlene Smith, and my dad, Thomas Fulton, were sitting by her side, doting on her.
03:04Emma, try some of the cake I made.
03:07Drink more juice. You need the vitamins.
03:10The moment I appeared, the atmosphere turned cold.
03:16What are you doing here?
03:18So now you're here to bother Emma again when you can't fake being sick anymore?
03:22Mom stepped in front of me, her tone icy. Dad followed, shielding Emma behind him.
03:28We can't believe we raised someone as petty as you.
03:31If we'd known, we never would have had you.
03:35I gave a bitter smile.
03:37I used to argue, to shout, to expose Emma's lies.
03:41What did it get me?
03:42More favoritism for her, and more blame for me.
03:45I was approaching my end.
03:48What was the point of fighting anymore?
03:52It's good you're here.
03:54We need to talk.
03:57I smiled before he could finish.
04:00Because I already knew what they wanted from me.
04:06I'll go first.
04:07The company, the patents, the design drafts.
04:10Emma's always wanted them, right?
04:12They're all hers now.
04:18They froze, utterly stunned.
04:21You really agree to this?
04:23You're not plotting something again, are you?
04:26I lowered my head and chuckled.
04:29Before, when I said no, you called me selfish.
04:33Now that I'm saying yes, you still think it's not good enough?
04:36For once, Mom looked pleased.
04:38Now that's how a good big sister should act.
04:41Emma was always better at design than you in school.
04:44Once she's discharged, she'll make the company number one in the country.
04:49I nodded silently, and handed over the transfer documents.
04:53Emma's eyes lit up.
04:55She grinned so wide, her face could hardly contain it.
04:58In this family, no matter how hard I worked, I was always the loser.
05:06Here, Jasmine, have some cake too.
05:09Emma left a small piece.
05:12My throat tightened.
05:13I could only nod weakly.
05:15Maybe if I gave them everything, they would finally talk to me with a smile.
05:20I wondered when they found out I was dead.
05:23When they learned what Emma had done,
05:25would they still be smiling?
05:30I discharged myself and went home.
05:36David White, my husband, and our daughter, Betty White, were making handmade chocolates,
05:41and an apple pie was baking in the oven.
05:44They were laughing happily, not noticing I had come in.
05:48It was not until David washed his hands that he noticed me.
05:51His smile vanished instantly.
05:53You should have called first.
05:57Beautiful Godmother Emma, to our dearest Emma, may you always be happy.
06:03The apple pie I baked for you should be ready soon.
06:06No sneaking bites.
06:07I stared blankly at the card on the dining table.
06:10It was made of pink paper, decorated with glitter and little stars.
06:15Beside it was David's messy but affectionate scrawl.
06:19I only found out David could cook when I was dying.
06:22While I was alive, I worked myself to the bone providing for this family, handling the money, the meals, the
06:28house.
06:28All I got in return was criticism and disdain.
06:33Before, I would have broken down, demanded answers, or picked a fight.
06:38At this point, I said nothing.
06:48I just went to the bedroom and began packing my things.
06:51Then David followed me, his voice lower than usual.
07:03Jasmine, there's something I need to discuss with you.
07:06It's about your sister, Emma.
07:23After her surgery, Emma's health has been really weak.
07:26My parents found a fortune-telling master back home.
07:28He said Emma has to get married to recover.
07:31They haven't found a suitable guy on short notice, so...
07:34They want me to marry her first.
07:37They think it'll help her get better.
07:40You agreed to it?
07:48Jasmine, as her sister, you want her to get better too, right?
07:53The fortune-telling master said once she's married, Emma's health will recover quickly.
08:02And it's just for show.
08:04It won't affect our relationship.
08:06You're still Betty's mom, my wife.
08:09I'd never betray you.
08:11Before I could say anything, our daughter grabbed my hand and looked up at me, pleading me.
08:17Mom, Godmother Emma's been really sad lately.
08:20She cries alone all the time.
08:24Please let Dad help her, okay?
08:27I froze.
08:28Years ago.
08:30Despite my protests and tears.
08:32They insisted on making Emma, our daughter's godmother.
08:35Even my daughter was closer to her than to me.
08:38As I looked at this so-called family, my eyes welled with tears.
08:42But I forced them down.
08:46All right.
08:48As long as it makes you all happy.
08:54David's eyes lit up with surprise and delight.
08:59Then, he pulled out the divorce papers he had clearly prepared in advance.
09:09Just sign here.
09:14Mom, here's a pen.
09:18My heart sank.
09:19So they had been waiting for this moment.
09:24I signed quickly and handed the divorce papers back.
09:29David hurried to add his signature, looking relieved.
09:33As Sue and Emma recovers, I'll remarry you away.
09:36So don't worry.
09:37You're the only woman I love.
09:41And Betty will always be your daughter.
09:43I felt wronged, but managed a strained smile.
09:46I would not live to see that day.
09:49Jasmine, you're so much more understanding than before.
09:52I wasn't perfect either.
09:56I'll make it up to you.
09:58I felt nothing but bitter irony.
10:02I had still held on to a shred of hope.
10:05At this point though, it was gone.
10:07I turned to go upstairs.
10:09Just as I lifted my foot, everything went dark.
10:13I could not catch my breath, and collapsed.
10:27I was jolted awake by cold water.
10:30David and our daughter were standing over me.
10:36Mom, why are you pretending to faint again?
10:38Ma, you're not even sick, and you keep Fake It to trick us.
10:42We need to bring dessert to Godmother.
10:44Get up!
10:45You're wasting time!
10:50Jasmine, I've told you over and over.
10:53The divorce is just for appearances.
11:00I'm not going to leave you.
11:02You don't need to fake illness to test me.
11:04Their first reaction upon seeing me collapse was not to call an ambulance, but to accuse me of playing games.
11:11Mom, you look so healthy. How could you be sick?
11:17You're a grown-up, and I'm more mature than you.
11:22Her words pierced my heart.
11:24It seemed the doctor's medication really worked.
11:27I did not look sick, at all, still.
11:30In three days, I would be dead.
11:40I'm fine now.
11:41I'll come with you.
11:43Emma still needs to sign some transfer papers.
11:45David clearly did not want me going to the hospital.
11:48But hearing that some formalities were incomplete, he nodded.
11:52Just like that, I followed them back to the person they all loved.
11:56More than me.
12:02At the hospital, Emma was leaning weakly against the bed, looking pale and frail.
12:07She truly looked more like someone beyond saving than I did.
12:14Jasmine, you're here.
12:18Jasmine, thank you for believing in me.
12:20Once I recover, I'll work hard to take our jewelry business global.
12:23Yes, Jasmine.
12:25Didn't you always love to travel?
12:26With Emma managing things, you can travel and still receive dividends from the company.
12:30Isn't that wonderful?
12:33Yes, it sounds perfect.
12:35So I've decided to transfer all the money in my accounts,
12:39and all the properties under my name, to Emma as well.
12:45That way, I won't need to worry about a thing anymore.
12:48Emma's fingers tightened around the blanket.
12:51Greed flashed across her eyes before she quickly lowered them.
12:55My parents exchanged a glance, shocked but faintly pleased.
13:00They had spent years asking me to give in.
13:02Now that I was giving everything, they could not believe it was real.
13:07You're not joking, Jasmine?
13:09Including the stock that's already gone public?
13:11I could not understand it.
13:13Emma always had her eyes on everything I owned.
13:16Whenever I refused to give her something,
13:18she would call me selfish,
13:20accuse me of bullying her,
13:22saying I was not acting like a proper sister.
13:24Now, I was handing everything over to her without resistance,
13:27and they still did not believe.
13:31Jasmine, you've finally grown up.
13:34You finally understand how to be a good sister.
13:39You two sisters being united and treating each other selflessly,
13:43that's all we ever wanted.
13:44Now we can finally enjoy our retirement in peace.
13:48That was laughable.
13:50Emma went through all that scheming to take everything from me.
13:53Was it really just to lighten my burden and let me enjoy life?
13:57She deceived everyone with her pitiful act and fake kindness.
14:02Suddenly, a sharp tightness gripped my chest,
14:05and I coughed twice.
14:07A metallic taste filled my mouth.
14:10Mom noticed the blood on my handkerchief,
14:12and came over to pat my back.
14:14You're coughing up blood?
14:15Is your throat inflamed?
14:17Mom, Dad,
14:19if I die,
14:21would you feel sad?
14:23The room went quiet.
14:30Who talks like that?
14:31Just when you started behaving,
14:33you're back to talking nonsense.
14:35Mom gave me a small slap.
14:38You look so healthy.
14:40It's probably just a sore throat.
14:42Take some anti-inflammatory meds.
14:44Don't be so dramatic.
14:50Yeah, Mom, look at Godmama's face.
14:53She's the one who really needs to take care of her health.
14:56Stop being so paranoid.
14:58My eyes reddened,
14:59but I still managed to smile.
15:06That's right, Jasmine.
15:08Stop faking illness to gain sympathy.
15:10Set a good example for your child.
15:14You really like Emma, huh, Betty?
15:16From now on, you'll be her daughter.
15:19Let your godmanner be your mom.
15:22Betty's eyes lit up.
15:24Then Mommy Emma can take me to the amusement park
15:27and to two cheering sessions.
15:29She jumped into Emma's arms,
15:31gave her a kiss on the cheek,
15:32and started calling her,
15:34Mommy.
15:35Mommy Emma.
15:36Mommy Emma.
15:37Mommy Emma.
15:38Mommy Emma.
15:38Mommy Emma.
15:42Betty had not been that happy in a long time.
15:46Everything was different on this day,
15:48because I let Emma become her mother.
15:52David gently stroked Betty's hair.
15:54My parents sat together,
15:56watching them with satisfaction.
15:58They looked like one one big happy family.
16:00Me? I was just the extra.
16:05I turned away,
16:06wiped my tears,
16:08and quietly left the room.
16:19There was only one day left before I left this world.
16:24I drove to the amusement park from the photo on my phone background.
16:32The place where David, Betty, and I had once smiled together.
16:43The carousel was still there,
16:45spinning round as if nothing had changed.
16:47I bought a ticket,
16:49and sat on the same familiar horse.
17:04A wave of dizziness washed over me.
17:06I forced my eyes open,
17:07but the world grew more and more blurred,
17:09with trembling hands.
17:10I pulled out my phone,
17:11and used the last of my strength
17:12to dial a number I had not called in years.
17:14The phone slipped from my hand,
17:16and darkness resumed everything.
17:19In the hospital room,
17:20my consciousness returned.
17:22The first thing I saw was Lilith Sinclair's anxious face.
17:25She had been my best friend in college.
17:27Back then...
17:30Dating David is not advisable.
17:32You can no longer have a relationship with him.
17:34She strongly opposed my relationship with David.
17:42Didn't you say you were the happiest woman in the world?
17:49How did you end up like this?
17:53Here are your husband and daughter.
17:57Why did the doctor say you're dying?
18:01Tears slid from the corners of my eyes,
18:03but I still smiled.
18:08Her body is failing fast.
18:10She needs rest.
18:14But there may not be much time left.
18:18As if she could drag me back from death by force.
18:22Jasmine, look at me.
18:24Don't you dare close your eyes.
18:25You called me, so you have to tell me everything.
18:28I tried to speak,
18:29but I was too weak to make a sound.
18:31I motioned with my eyes for her to bring me my bag.
18:34But there were still things I needed to finish before I died.
18:48Lillith pulled out the agreement from inside my bag and skimmed it.
18:53Her tears began to fall again.
18:59Jasmine, this can't be real!
19:02You're not going to die!
19:04She collapsed beside me, sobbing without control.
19:10I glanced at the clock on the wall.
19:13Three hours left.
19:14Then my life would end.
19:18Suddenly, my phone rang.
19:30Jasmine, after all these years of competing, you've finally given up, haven't you?
19:36Your child, your husband, your parents, they've all only ever loved me.
19:41You should have realized it long ago.
19:44In this family, you were never a match for me.
19:48Lillith trembled with rage.
19:51How can someone be this disgusting?
19:53I had no response left in me.
19:55Jasmine, open your eyes!
19:58My parents, my husband, even my daughter,
20:01they all believed Emma mattered more than I did.
20:04I admit it, I lost.
20:07Completely.
20:08The heart monitor next to me started beeping.
20:12Three minutes left.
20:13Lillith was yelling beside me.
20:15Jasmine, open your eyes!
20:21Your mom texted you!
20:22She probably sensed something happened to you!
20:25Holding my phone.
20:26I forced my eyes open and read the message.
20:30Jasmine, once Emma is discharged, let her move into your villa.
20:35You're going to be traveling anyway.
20:36And don't forget to hire Annie for the three of them.
20:39Emma's not familiar with that area.
20:41Lillith's eyes reddened as she bit her lip.
20:44Speechless still, I smiled.
20:46I had tried to please everyone.
20:49And in the end, I had nothing left.
20:53Finally, I could let go.
20:55Lilith cried and kept calling my name.
20:57But I could not hear her anymore.
21:00On the 18th of June, 2025, Jasmine died in a hospital five kilometers from home.
21:06No family by her side.
21:08She was only 27 years old.
21:12Lilith stood in the hospital corridor, holding Jasmine's death certificate with shaking hands.
21:16She dialed David first.
21:29Who is this?
21:31If Jasmine asked you to call, tell her to stop making a scene.
21:35This is Lilith's and Carrie. Jasmine is in the hospital. You need to come now.
21:39Hospital again?
21:40She fainted earlier and was fine.
21:43Emma just had surgery, and Betty is exhausted.
21:45I don't have time for Jasmine's games tonight.
21:47David, listen to me. She is dead.
21:52That's enough.
21:53Jasmine has always been dramatic.
21:55But making you say something like that is too much.
21:58Tell her I'll talk to her when she calms down.
22:06Lilith's fingers went numb.
22:08She called Marlene next.
22:14Lilith?
22:15Why are you calling after all these years?
22:18If Jasmine is with Teller, Emma still needs the villa arranged.
22:22Your daughter just died.
22:24Don't indulge her.
22:25She'll come home when she wants money.
22:38Behind the glass door.
22:41Jasmine's body lay still beneath a white sheet.
22:45Jasmine, they don't deserve to stand beside you.
22:48I swear I will make them hear every truth they refuse to hear.
22:54Emma pulled out a foreign identity card she had paid someone to prepare.
22:59Her eyes were resolute.
23:01She had to move.
23:02Every second mattered.
23:03After informing the doctor she was checking out of the hospital, she drove straight to the stock exchange.
23:08She was beyond excited.
23:12Once she sold the publicly listed stocks, she woo LD instantly become a billionaire.
23:18The clerk gave her a puzzled look.
23:21Ma'am, are you sure this is the stock you want to sell?
23:24This stock is registered under Ms. Jasmine.
23:27Your identity doesn't match.
23:29Emma's eyes widened.
23:30She had watched Jasmine sign and stamped that agreement with her own eyes.
23:34That's impossible.
23:35Look, this is the transfer agreement we just signed.
23:38You must have made a mistake.
23:40I'm sorry ma'am.
23:41This stock has been frozen.
23:42She quickly called her lawyer friend.
23:44Emma, the jewelry company and the real estate you gave me to handle are all still registered under Jasmine's name.
23:49All those assets were frozen three days ago.
23:53Emma's vision went white and she nearly passed out.
24:10Emma snapped back to her senses and immediately dialed Jasmine's number.
24:14She kept calling, but no one picked up.
24:24Eventually the phone was turned off.
24:27Emma screamed in front and hurled her phone to the floor.
24:31She had thought Jasmine had given up.
24:33It turned out this was just a diversion.
24:35Jasmine had left herself a way out.
24:39Emma gripped the steering wheel until her knuckles turned white.
24:43What next?
24:44If she could not get the money, that heartless, scumbag father of hers would expose all her secrets.
24:49Wait.
24:50There were still Jasmine's parents.
24:57Emma took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and drove back to the hospital.
25:07As long as Marlene and Thomas still loved her most, she still had a way to turn this around.
25:23mom dad you're here
25:31half an hour later emma was smiling warmly acting like nothing had happened
25:35cheerfully greeting the couple as usual the three chatted about everyday matters
25:43then marlene frowned where's jasmine why didn't she come today emma's heart tensed
25:51oh jasmine handed over all the business stuff to me she's probably getting ready to travel the world
25:56she's likely busy preparing her visa documents that girl we told her to move your things into
26:01her villa first and find a reliable caretaker but no she's only thinking about herself
26:08thomas sighed he frowned after calling still switched off looks like she really doesn't
26:14care about anything anymore she probably just wants to go off and have fun jasmine honestly
26:19that's not how a big sister should act she could have helped emma get settled before running off
26:26on vacation emma saw their obvious favoritism and secretly rejoiced but when she mentioned
26:34needing money marlene's expression changed slightly the company needs some capital to
26:39start production i was wondering if
26:43let's not talk about money now we'll wait till jasmine gets back
26:46that tiny change made emma uneasy
26:56at the villa david returned home and collapsed on the sofa rubbing his temples in exhaustion
27:06jasmine i want orange juice get me a glass silence
27:12he looked around and finally realized that jasmine had not been home in days
27:20he called her
27:27but the phone was off
27:31he sent a message but there was no reply
27:40david scrolled up through their chat history jasmine's messages were packed with reminders
27:45concern and care all he gave were 67 replies most of them just read his heart sank
28:00he suddenly realized the house was still clean because jasmine had arranged everything before vanishing
28:10even the bread in the kitchen had been sliced and packed by her hand
28:14for the first time david felt how quiet a home could become
28:19without the person he had ignored for years
28:28david grabbed a slice of bread and ate it without much thought
28:38he had met both jasmine and emma at a jewelry expo jasmine had been gentle and rational
28:44always calm and composed the classic strong woman this design focuses on balance
28:50not just sparkle jewelry should have a soul
28:55emma on the other hand had been fiery and outgoing dramatic and charming
29:01david i don't understand this part can you teach me you're so patient
29:08she was someone who made one want to protect her
29:14at first david thought he only pitied emma like an older brother would
29:18eventually he understood he had just been addicted to the illusion of being needed
29:24the one who had truly taken care of him who had held the whole household together
