Transcript
00:04I had meticulously planned our 9th wedding anniversary party even going so far as to
00:11invite numerous friends and guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began, I found myself
00:17upstairs outside the study door, watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary.
00:23Natalie was nestled against Jack's chest, her face flushed with post-intimacy satisfaction.
00:28When are you going to make our relationship public? Natalie asked breathlessly, her voice
00:33sultry as she melted against Jack's embrace. Jack took her hand in his.
00:39Soon. He replied. When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately turned serious.He grabbed
00:45the wine glass beside him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square in the forehead.
00:50Who gave you permission to spy on us? I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling down
00:56the stairs, curling up in pain at the bottom.He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking
01:01down at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying my child. From now on, you take care of her
01:08meals. Three different dishes every day, no repeats. You help her have a safe delivery.
01:15And pack your things. Move from our bedroom to the guest room. You're nothing more than Natalie's
01:22nanny now. I said nothing, struggling to my feet and grabbing the suitcase I had already packed.
01:28I walked calmly toward the front door. The butler moved to stop me, but Jack laughed coldly.
01:33Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me. Mark my words. Within three days. She'll come
01:42crawling back. Begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished speaking, the guest's present began
01:49to snicker. Just as I was about to step out of the mansion, Jack suddenly called after me.
01:55Leave your cross necklace behind. Natalie's been having nightmares lately.
02:00That necklace was all I had left of my parents. Meeting my tear-filled eyes, his tone remained
02:05ice cold. How much money will it take for you to give Natalie that necklace?
02:11Nine years of marriage, living like dirt beneath his feet. What was that worth? I couldn't be bothered
02:17to calculate, but I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a rage
02:22and
02:23have his bodyguards take it by force. Just like the last time they'd stolen my other belongings,
02:28I removed the necklace and fastened it around Natalie's neck, saying to her,
02:33I wish you and the baby your caring health and safety.
02:38Hearing this blessing, Jack's expression softened slightly, offering me a small concession.
02:44As long as you behave yourself, my child will be your child too.
02:49The moment he finished speaking, the necklace around Natalie's neck suddenly slipped and shattered
02:54on the floor. Seeing that the fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately swept her up in
02:59his arms, carrying her princess-style to a chair while barking orders at the butler to call the
03:04family doctor. His frantic concern made everyone present look at me with barely concealed amusement.
03:10The whole scene was so absurd that even I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes, even if his wife
03:15were dying. It wouldn't matter as much as his mistress getting a tiny scratch, I gripped the handle of
03:20my suitcase tighter and turned to leave, but Jack grabbed my wrist, his voice frigid.
03:26Apologize.
03:26What? Before I could finish, he dragged me down, forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet and
03:32my knees scraped against the jade fragments, blood staining the white marble floor.
03:37Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust, and he released his grip.
03:41You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace, and injured her.Don't you owe her an apology?
03:49After nine years of marriage to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase,
03:53I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood, then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie,
03:59saying I'm sorry, three times before looking at Jack with detached indifference.
04:03Is that enough? He stared at the blood on my lips, his chest visibly rising and falling.
04:11Stop putting on that disgusting pitiful act. Before I could respond, the family doctor arrived
04:17in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor to Natalie's side, while his attention
04:21was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the mansion, just as I reached the entrance.
04:27I heard two crisp car horns, seeing the maybok outside the iron gates, I quickened my pace,
04:32but before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly rushed out and forcibly dragged me
04:38back into the mansion. They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me to a chair and ordered
04:44the staff to use a thick needle to draw my blood. Through the half-open door, I heard the doctor
04:49speaking to Jack. Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have a negative blood type, but Mrs. Evelyn has a history
04:59of congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger acute shock. I suggest we
05:08transfer her to a hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie the transfusion for her anemia.
05:16Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold. Your job is to make Natalie better.
05:23I'll handle everything else. Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
05:29Does it hurt? His tone carried a rare note of comfort. Just bear with it a little longer.
05:36We'll be done soon. I turned my head away, too tired to waste words on him. After drawing 800
05:42milliliters of blood, my lips had turned purple just then. Natalie's coughing echoed from the master bedroom,
05:48Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle. Demanding double the amount, the doctor
05:54was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him, saying that drawing more blood might kill me.
05:59Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only. Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first. But...
06:07I interrupted the doctor. Draw it. Just let me leave afterward. Jack looked at my bloodless face,
06:14anger churning in his eyes that he opened his mouth as if to ask whether I really intended to
06:19make such a scene by running away from home. But Natalie's sweet call of I, darling, instantly
06:24pulled his attention away. And I passed out from blood loss. I woke up on a hospital bed,
06:29having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss. I saw Jack sitting beside the bed.
06:34Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment, he expressionlessly brought
06:39over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me. I shook my head. I can do it myself. Watching
06:45me eat half
06:46the bowl, Jack asked. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I deflected his question. Give me my
06:53phone. Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler
06:59bring my phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere. Who called?
07:04He never asked about such things before that a flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said,
07:11No one you know. Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me. How long are
07:17you
07:17going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your terrible attitude? In the
07:26past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior while trying my best to appease him.
07:32But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him emotionlessly.
07:38Natalie's calling you. Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit,
07:44he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my
07:50phone rang.
07:51When I answered, the person on the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything.
07:56Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second thoughts?
08:01No. I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
08:07An accident? What happened to you? I need to come back to the country immediately.
08:13I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
08:18Just give me a few more days. When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone.
08:24He caught
08:25sight of the long-absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable tightness in his
08:32chest. But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby, so he didn't
08:38have time to ask who I'd been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often visited. Me, after
08:45marrying into this family, my social. Circle had been reduced to only female relatives. He picked up
08:52his documents and said without looking back. I have some business at the company. I'll come back tomorrow.
08:59But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared. Instead, through mutual
09:07friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie to galas and dinner
09:14parties. Like a lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone. On the day I was
09:21discharged from the hospital, Jack posted a nine-photo grid on Instagram. Under the sunset,
09:27he stood on a hot air balloon, cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss.
09:34I commented, wishing you both many children. And eternal happiness. Ten minutes later,
09:41Jack called me. I didn't answer. Half an hour later, I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone. Outside
09:50the hospitals. Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and Natalie. They were being intimate again, completely.
09:57Oblivious to their surroundings. Jack's hand. Moved to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her.
10:11I had meticulously planned our ninth wedding anniversary party even going so far as to invite
10:18numerous friends and guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began, I found myself upstairs outside
10:25the study door. Watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary. Natalie was nestled

11:00bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling down the stairs, curling up in pain at the bottom. He and
11:05Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying my child. From now on,

27:46pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him emotionlessly. Natalie's calling you. Hearing this,
27:53Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit, he stepped away from me and went into the hallway
27:59to
27:59take the call. As soon as he left, my phone rang. When I answered, the person on the other end
28:06spoke
28:06urgently before I could say anything. Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second
28:12thoughts? No, I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident. An accident? What happened to
28:22you? I need to come back to the country immediately. I interrupted his rambling, looking down and
28:29pressing my lips together. Just give me a few more days. When Jack returned to the room, I had just
28:35hung
28:35up the phone. He caught sight of the long-absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an
28:42inexplicable
28:43tightness in his chest. But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby, so
28:50he
28:50didn't have time to ask who I'd been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often visited me
28:57after
28:58marrying into this family, my social. Circle had been reduced to only female relatives. He picked
29:04up his documents and said without looking back. I have some business at the company. I'll come back
29:11tomorrow. But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared. Instead, through mutual
29:19friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie to galas and dinner parties.
29:27Like a lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone. On the day I was discharged from the
29:34hospital, Jack posted a nine-photo grid on Instagram. Under the sunset, he stood on a hot air balloon,
29:42cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss. I commented, wishing you both
29:49many children and eternal happiness. Ten minutes later, Jack called me. I didn't answer. Half an hour
29:57later, I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone. Outside the hospitals. Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and
30:06Natalie. They were being intimate again, completely oblivious to their surroundings. Jack's hand moved
30:14to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her. I had meticulously planned our ninth wedding anniversary
30:27party even going so far as to invite numerous friends and guests to celebrate with us.
30:33Before the party began, I found myself upstairs outside the study door. Watching my husband with
30:39his arms wrapped around his secretary, Natalie was nestled against Jack's chest, her face flushed
30:45with post-intimacy satisfaction. When are you going to make our relationship public? Natalie asked
30:51breathlessly, her voice sultry as she melted against Jack's embrace. Jack took her hand in his.
30:57Soon. He replied. When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately turned serious. He grabbed the wine
31:04glass beside him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square in the forehead. Who gave you
31:09permission to spy on us? I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling down the stairs, curling up in
31:16pain at the bottom. He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down at me with disdain. Natalie is
31:22carrying my child. From now on, you take care of her meals. Three different dishes every day, no repeats.
31:31You help her have a safe delivery and pack your things. Move from our bedroom to the guest room.
31:39You're nothing more than Natalie's nanny now. I said nothing, struggling to my feet and grabbing the
31:45suitcase I had already packed. I walked calmly toward the front door. The butler moved to stop me,
31:50but Jack laughed coldly. Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me. Mark my words,
31:58within three days, she'll come crawling back, begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished
32:06speaking, the guest's present began to snicker. Just as I was about to step out of the mansion,
32:12Jack suddenly called after me. Leave your cross necklace behind. Natalie's been having nightmares
32:18lately. That necklace was all I had left of my parents. Meeting my tear-filled eyes,
32:23his tone remained ice cold. How much money will it take for you to give Natalie that necklace?
32:30Nine years of marriage, living like dirt beneath his feet. What was that worth? I couldn't be
32:35bothered to calculate, but I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a
32:41rage and have his bodyguards take it by force. Just like the last time they'd stolen my other
32:46belongings, I removed the necklace and fastened it around Natalie's neck, saying to her,
32:51I wish you and the baby your caring health and safety. Hearing this blessing, Jack's expression
32:59softened slightly, offering me a small concession. As long as you behave yourself, my child will be
33:06your child too. The moment he finished speaking, the necklace around Natalie's neck suddenly slipped and
33:12shattered on the floor. Seeing that the fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately swept her
33:17up in his arms, carrying her princess-style to a chair while barking orders at the butler to call
33:23the family doctor. His frantic concern made everyone present look at me with barely concealed amusement.
33:28The whole scene was so absurd that even I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes,
33:33even if his wife were dying. It wouldn't matter as much as his mistress getting a tiny scratch,
33:38I gripped the handle of my suitcase tighter and turned to leave, but Jack grabbed my wrist,
33:42his voice frigid. Apologize. What? Before I could finish, he dragged me down, forcing me to my knees
33:49beside Natalie's feet. Damn, my knees scraped against the jade fragments, blood staining the white marble
33:54floor. Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust, and he released his grip. You deliberately
34:01sabotaged Natalie's necklace and injured her.Don't you owe her an apology. After nine years of marriage
34:09to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase. I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood,
34:14then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie, saying I'm sorry, three times before looking at Jack
34:21with detached indifference. Is that enough? He stared at the blood on my lips, his chest visibly
34:27rising and falling. Stop putting on that disgusting pitiful act. Before I could respond,
34:34the family doctor arrived in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor to Natalie's side,
34:39while his attention was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the mansion,
34:44just as I reached the entrance. I heard two crisp car horns, seeing the Maybach outside the iron gates,
34:50I quickened my pace, but before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly rushed out
34:55and forcibly dragged me back into the mansion. They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me
35:02to a chair and ordered the staff to use a thick needle to draw my blood. Through the half-open
35:06door,
35:07I heard the doctor speaking to Jack. Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have a negative blood type,
35:15but Mrs. Evelyn has a history of congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger
35:24acute shock. I suggest we transfer her to a hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie
35:32the transfusion for her anemia. Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold.
35:39Your job is to make Natalie better. I'll handle everything else. Hearing Jack's approaching
35:45footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes. Does it hurt? His tone carried a rare note of comfort.
35:52Just bear with it a little longer. We'll be done soon. I turned my head away, too tired to waste
35:59words
35:59on him. After drawing 800 milliliters of blood, my lips had turned purple just then. Natalie's coughing
36:05echoed from the master bedroom. Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle.
36:10Demanding double the amount, the doctor was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him,
36:15saying that drawing more blood might kill me. Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only.
36:20Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first. But...
36:25I interrupted the doctor. Draw it. Just let me leave afterward.
36:31Jack looked at my bloodless face, anger churning in his eyes that he opened his mouth as if to ask
36:36whether I really intended to make such a scene by running away from home. But Natalie's sweet call
36:41of my darling, instantly pulled his attention away. And I passed out from blood loss. I woke up on a
36:47hospital bed. Having just recovered from shock due to severe blood loss, I saw Jack sitting beside the bed.
36:53Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment,
36:56he expressionlessly brought over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me. I shook my head.
37:01I can do it myself. Watching me eat half the bowl, Jack asked.
37:06Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I deflected his question. Give me my phone.
37:12Perhaps my tone was too distant, because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler bring my
37:18phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere. Who called?
37:23He never asked about such things before that a flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said,
37:29No one you know. Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me.
37:35How long are you going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your
37:43terrible attitude? In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior
37:49while trying my best to appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded
37:55him emotionlessly.
37:56Natalie is calling you.
37:58Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit, he stepped away from me and went
38:04into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my phone rang. When I answered, the person
38:11on
38:11the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything. Weren't you supposed to come find me?
38:17Are you having second thoughts? No. I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
38:25An accident? What happened to you? I need to come back to the country immediately. I interrupted his
38:34rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together. Just give me a few more days.
38:39When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone. He caught sight of the long-absent
38:45smile
38:45at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest. But he had promised to go
38:53back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby, so he didn't have time to ask who I'd been talking
38:59to.
39:00It must have been that cousin who often visited me, after marrying into this family, my social
39:06circle. Circle had been reduced to only female relatives. He picked up his documents and said
