Short filmTranscript
00:00I used to be known as the top surgeon in the medical world.
00:02They called my right hand the hand of God.
00:05Then I was accused of medical murder, lost my license, and went to prison for seven years.
00:11After getting out, I changed my name and started working as a car washer on the street.
00:15One day, my whole family barged into my car wash shop.
00:20My mother, Sophia Hart...
00:22Lydia, your sister Jade is sick.
00:24You're the only one who can do this super delicate surgery.
00:27Please save her!
00:28My father grabbed my shoulders and...
00:30You're the best doctor we know. Get in that hospital and save her!
00:37My fiancé, Gavin Winters, pulled out our old engagement agreement.
00:44Forced the wedding ring back onto my finger and cried...
00:47If you save her, I'll marry you right now.
00:50I raised my hand.
00:51The one that shook so bad I couldn't even hold a brush steady.
00:56Did they really forget?
00:57Back then, my doctor's stepsister Jade was covering up a medical accident.
01:02My fiancé cut the tendons in my hand himself on a knife towards me to send a confession.
01:06In prison, I was bullied and tortured.
01:10In the end, I died of a confession in that cold cell.
01:14When I opened my eyes again, I came back to the day I was sent to prison for a crime
01:19I didn't commit.
01:19This time, I didn't fall apart.
01:22I decided to survive.
01:24I went through hell in prison.
01:26I was bullied, tortured, you name it.
01:29But I never lost hope.
01:31I used my medical skills to treat people and build connections.
01:34Because of my good behavior, I got my sentence reduced several times and was let out.
01:38Now, my palm still twitches like crazy.
01:41Now, my palm still twitches like crazy.
01:42You forgot?
01:43You're the ones who destroyed this hand.
01:46And now you want me in the operating room?
01:49You want her to die faster?
01:50Livia, I'm begging you!
01:53Save Jade!
01:56She's only 29.
01:59Her heart's aorta is torn.
02:02Every doctor in this says you're the only one who can do this surgery.
02:06She's your own sister!
02:10My own sister?
02:12I'm the heart family's biological daughter who got lost.
02:15They found me when I was 22.
02:18I thought I finally had a family.
02:21But you know what happened?
02:23They only found me because their adopted daughter, Jade, caused a medical accident that killed someone.
02:29They needed a scapegoat to cover up her scandal.
02:31My ex-fiance, Gavin, still acted like some rich jerk.
02:35He pulled out our engagement agreement.
02:37Lydia, if you come to the hospital right now and save Jade,
02:43I'll forget about the medical accident.
02:46This marriage agreement still stands.
02:49I'll marry you right away, and you can be the heart family's daughter again.
02:53Listening to all this, I just felt a sharp, crazy pain.
02:58He forced me to sign the confession.
03:00My dad, George Heart, just said coldly,
03:04The heart family doesn't need a useless daughter like you.
03:09Jade is our pride.
03:10Now, I slowly lifted my right hand right in front.
03:15Save her?
03:18Mrs. Heart, Mr. Wintuz, you two must have pretty short memories, huh?
03:22I yanked up my sleeve and showed them the scar that would ruin any surgeon's career.
03:27Every word came out like a knife.
03:29You're the ones who destroyed this hand just to protect that fake genius.
03:33You want to save her, or you want to make sure she dies even faster?
03:37My father, George, got furious.
03:40He slammed my workbench so hard that all the little parts rattled and made a loud clanging sound.
03:47Lydia Gray!
03:48Stop putting on an act!
03:50You've got hard blood in you, but you're full of nothing but cheap gutter trash!
03:55If it's money you want, just say it!
03:57You can have as much as you want, as long as Jade is okay!
04:00But you're coming with me right now!
04:04In their eyes, me, their real daughter, wasn't worth a single hair on Jade Moore.
04:11The adopted daughter they'd raised for twenty years.
04:14Even though they destroyed my right hand.
04:16The thing I needed to survive.
04:18They still wanted to suck every last bit of value out of me.
04:22I coldly pushed away Sophia's hand that was covered in grease.
04:27Turned around, and kept washing the car wheel.
04:30Like they were just a few puffs of air.
04:33Get out.
04:34There's no hand of God here.
04:37Just a cripple working as a cleaner.
04:39My refusal clearly pissed Gavin off.
04:42He let out a cold laugh.
04:45There was a cruel, determined look in his eyes.
04:48He pulled out his phone and started a live stream.
04:51As the son of the Winters group, he had millions of followers.
04:56Everything he did caught the whole city's attention.
05:00Everyone, this is the Hart family's long lost biological daughter.
05:05Our whole family got on our knees and begged her to save her sister who's hanging by a thread.
05:11He pointed the camera at my messy, oily back.
05:14But because she's jealous that Jade is better than her.
05:18And because she wants more family money.
05:21She's holding out for a higher price and refusing to help.
05:25The live stream exploded instantly.
05:28The comments came flooding in like a crazy tide.
05:31Oh my God.
05:33Is that the murderer doctor Lydia Gray?
05:35She got out of prison and still won't leave us alone?
05:39So what if she's the real daughter?
05:41She's just a bad seed.
05:44Find her.
05:45Someone like that doesn't deserve to live.
05:48Drop the address.
05:49I'm gonna send death threats.
05:53Inside, I was totally calm.
05:55During those seven years in prison, I studied medicine every single day.
05:59Even though my right hand was ruined, I taught myself to stitch with my left.
06:04And in prison, I saved an old man with a shocking identity.
06:08Before he died, he gave me all his overseas medical resources and connections.
06:13I got out early and hid my name.
06:16Not to just survive, but to wait for this day.
06:20Wait for Jade.
06:21That fake who stole my work to climb to the top to come crashing down.
06:27Lydia Gray, look at these comments.
06:30You're already public enemy number one.
06:33If you don't go save your sister today,
06:35the Hart family will release a public letter disowning you.
06:39You'll disappear from this city for good.
06:41My mom, Sophia Hart, chimed in too.
06:43Lydia, how can you be so cruel?
06:45Jade isn't our real daughter, but she grew up with us.
06:48She's B-ni.
06:49She's B-thousandim.
06:51Sover her soving yourself.
06:53The last bit of family bond inside me snapped for good.
06:56I turned my head and showed a weird, creepy smile to the livestream camera.
07:01Fine.
07:03Since you want me to do the surgery that bad, let's go.
07:06That smile made thousands of viewers feel a strange chill.
07:09I hope you won't regret it later.
07:11But I couldn't leave with them right away.
07:13Because the angry internet mob got there faster than I thought.
07:17A few aggressive young people stormed the power of the shop.
07:19Murderer!
07:20Get out of our town!
07:22Animal!
07:23Go die!
07:25Rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs smashed into my side.
07:29Someone rushed in and kicked over my cleaning tools.
07:31The shelf holding them scattered everywhere.
07:34George Hart and Sophia Hart just stood there, watching, even looking a little satisfied.
07:39In their minds, only by pushing me to the edge would I finally do what they said.
07:44Since Lydia agreed, don't let her waste any more time here.
07:49Teach her a lesson.
07:50The bodyguards all rushed in.
07:52It wasn't really helping.
07:53It was more like a robbery.
07:56They smashed my toolbox.
07:58They stepped on and broke my only old radio.
08:01That radio was the only way I could hear the outside world when I was in prison.
08:06Cole Fields gave it to me.
08:08Cole Fields is the younger brother of the victim from the medical accident Jade caused.
08:12When everyone else hated me, he was the only one digging for the truth.
08:16For the past three months, he's been helping me fix my crippled hand.
08:21I protected the broken badge in my chest pocket and said quietly,
08:26George Hart, you're gonna regret this.
08:30George Hart laughed coldly.
08:32Regret.
08:33The only regret I have in my whole life is finding you from that slum.
08:37Look at yourself.
08:39You don't have a single bit of heart blood in you.
08:41My fiancé, Gavin Winters, walked up, holding a black stun gun in his hand.
08:46Lydia Gray, try any tricks.
08:48Jade can't wait any longer.
08:50If you try to run on the way, I won't mind ruining your other hand too.
08:54Blue electricity crackled in the air, making a scary sound.
08:57He didn't hesitate at all.
08:59He just jammed the stun gun right into my back.
09:02The shock took over my whole body in a second.
09:05All the air got sucked out of my lungs.
09:08My vision went black.
09:10I collapsed hard on the floor.
09:12Right before I passed out, I heard Sophia Hart's disgusted voice.
09:17Hurry up.
09:18Don't get the ambulance carpet dirty.
09:21Seriously.
09:22Giving birth to something like this is just an embarrassment to the Hart family.
09:29I was dragged out of the car wash shop like a dead dog, and the livestream was showing everything in
09:35real time.
09:35When I opened my eyes again, I was locked inside operating room number one.
09:41Jade was lying on the operating table, her face white as a corpse.
09:45A few young doctors stood around, completely lost.
09:48My father, George, mother, Sophia, and fiancé, Gavin, were staring at me.
09:53Lydia Gray, the scalpel is right next to you. Only you can stitch Jadie's heart.
09:57Don't even think about playing dead.
09:59There was no care in their eyes. Just pressure.
10:05If you can't save her, I promise you're never leaving this operating room alive.
10:10I glanced down at my trembling right hand.
10:13I slowly picked up the scalpel.
10:16Jade Moore, you didn't see this coming, did you?
10:19I leaned down next to the unconscious Jade's ear.
10:24In the last life, you took everything from me and let me die in prison.
10:29In this life, I'm sending you to hell myself.
10:34Outside the observation window, George Hart saw me not moving and lost it.
10:38He slammed the glass and screamed loud enough to shake the room.
10:41Lydia Gray!
10:43What are you waiting for?
10:45Cut!
10:46That's the aorta!
10:48If you don't do something, she's dead!
10:51What's the rush?
10:53I held up my shaking hand.
10:54My hand is ruined.
10:56You saw it yourselves, didn't you?
10:59Every cut I make right now is pushing Jade closer to death.
11:04I deliberately slowed down.
11:05I clumsily picked up the suture needle with my left hand.
11:08The truth is, I'd already mastered doing surgery with my left hand in prison.
11:13I was even more accurate than I used to be with my right.
11:15But I pretended to be weak and struggling.
11:18I wanted them to watch, with their own eyes, as their precious little genius fell apart.
11:25Hope slipping away, bit by bit.
11:27More importantly, I was waiting.
11:30Waiting for the drug inside Jade Moore to fully kick in.
11:34A month ago, I went on the dark web and, using the name of an overseas medical expert,
11:41sent Jade a so-called miracle serum.
11:44Greedy as she was, of course she injected it in private,
11:48so she could impress the world again at next week's international medical conference.
11:52And that drug, under specific, high-pressure conditions, causes the most terrifying hallucinations.
11:59Gavin started screaming.
12:01Lydia Gray! You crazy psycho! What are you doing?!
12:05Because he saw Jade Moore on the operating table, her eyes snapped open.
12:10Her pupils were unfocused, full of terror.
12:13Stay away! Don't kill me!
12:16Suddenly start convulsing violently.
12:18Kevin Walker, I know I was wrong!
12:21I put down the scalpel, and just watched my family's faces turn pale outside the observation window.
12:29The real show starts now.
12:35The cold, white surgical lights in the operating room stung my eyes.
12:39The monitor's sharp alarm cut through the silence.
12:42Jade's body was shaking violently.
12:44Her exposed muscles twisted.
12:47Blood sprayed from her unstitched wounds, and soaked the surgical drapes.
12:52Her eyes rolled back, completely lost in the terrifying hallucinations from the drug.
12:57Her screams were hoarse and broken.
12:59Don't trouble, it wasn't me!
13:02I didn't kill you!
13:04Outside the observation window, George's face turned pale as paper.
13:08All his anger disappeared, replaced by disbelief.
13:11Sophia's legs went weak.
13:13She grabbed the cold, bulletproof glass, her fingertips turning white.
13:17She kept muttering.
13:17No way.
13:20No way.
13:21No way.
13:21How does Jade know Gavin?
13:24That was just a medical accident.
13:27Gavin gripped the microphone tightly, his knuckles turning pale.
13:30Fear was written all over his face.
13:33He suddenly realized the live stream was still on.
13:36To force Lydia to give in, he had kept the live stream going the whole time.
13:45He never turned off the sound.
13:47Jade's crazy screams and her confession were being broadcast live to tens of thousands of viewers.
13:53The chat, which had been full of hate, went weirdly silent.
13:58Two seconds later, the comments exploded like boiling water.
14:01They scrolled so fast, they couldn't even believe it.
14:05Kevin Walker?
14:06That surgery patient who died seven years ago?
14:10The official report back then said the lead surgeon Lydia Gray made a mistake and caused his death.
14:16That's why she went to prison.
14:20So, the one who messed up wasn't Lydia at all?
14:23It was Jade?
14:25Oh my god, the whole internet blamed her for seven years?
14:29Gavin felt cold all over.
14:31Sweat ran down his back.
14:32He panicked and reached for the button to turn off the live stream.
14:35But his fingers were shaking so much, he missed three times in a row.
14:39The awkward glitching sound came through the speakers into the operating room.
14:43It was almost funny.
14:44I sat on a sterile stool by the operating table.
14:46My right hand rested on the edge of the table.
14:49The ugly scar on the back of my hand stood out under the harsh lights.
14:52My fingers tapped the table slowly, lazily.
14:56Like a calm observer, quietly watching the family outside, panic.
15:01I knew this was coming.
15:02The drug I sent Jade wouldn't kill her.
15:05But it would bring out the darkest guilt buried deep in her heart.
15:10With the pressure of surgery, the trauma response, and the strong hallucinogenic drug all stacked together,
15:16the guilt she had hidden for seven years, had nowhere to run.
15:21George spun around and grabbed Gavin's wrist.
15:24Turn off the live stream! Right now! Right now!
15:28I'll pay to pressure the platform.
15:30Delete all the comments!
15:33Erase the recording!
15:35Too late, Mr. Hart.
15:37The internet has a memory.
15:38Over a hundred thousand people have already taken smeen shots, screen recordings, and shared the video.
15:44Sophia glared at me through the glass.
15:46Her eyes red.
15:47Lydia!
15:48You planned this all along, didn't you?
15:52You drug Jade on purpose!
15:55You made her lose it in public!
15:57You just wanted to destroy her!
15:59I raised my left hand and gently smoothed down Jade's messy hair.
16:03My touch was gentle, but my eyes had no warmth.
16:06Seven years ago, her hand shook on the operating table.
16:10She punctured Kevin's pulmonary artery.
16:13To protect her reputation as a genius, she altered the medical records, overnight, and blamed everything on me.
16:22You three used fake evidence to send me to prison.
16:25Gavin cut the tendons in my right hand with his own hand.
16:29When you destroyed me, did you ever think about leaving me any mercy?
16:33The live stream exploded again.
16:36Public opinion had completely flipped.
16:38The hateful comments turned into doubt and regret.
16:42Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jade's blood pressure dropping fast.
16:46Her heart rate was all over the place.
16:48She could go into cardiac arrest at any moment.
16:51The assisting doctors nearby were pale and stiff.
16:54No one dared to touch the surgical instruments.
16:57Everyone knew that the person on the table was no longer the beloved genius doctor.
17:01She was a murderer and a fraud.
17:04Do something, Lydia!
17:07Save her now!
17:09I don't care how you do it!
17:11You have to save her!
17:12If she lives, I'll give you 10 million.
17:16I'll give you a mansion in the city.
17:19Anything you want, I'll give it to you!
17:24George, you still don't get it.
17:27I never wanted your money.
17:29I never wanted the status you throw around.
17:33I wanted everything you built with your own hands and treasure so much to crumble completely.
17:38I raised my left hand.
17:40Five long, steady fingers.
17:42No shaking at all.
17:43The perfect contrast to my twisted, shaking right hand.
17:47This hand was the result of years of training in that cold prison.
17:51I didn't waste a single second in prison.
17:54While others fought and gave up, I dissected mice and stitched specimens under dim lights.
17:59I wore down my fingertips until they bled.
18:02Over and over.
18:03I trained my left hand to be even better than my right hand had ever been.
18:10You've all been wondering how I can still be the only doctor in the city qualified to do this surgery.
18:16Even with my cut tendons.
18:17I picked up the thin, curved needle.
18:20My left hand moved smoothly, with perfect control.
18:23Now, I'll show you.
18:25The tip of the needle pierced the edge of the red, inflamed blood vessel.
18:29The angle was exact to 0.1 millimeters.
18:32The pressure was just right.
18:34The damaged artery wall was as thin as a butterfly's wing.
18:37One wrong move, and it would tear completely.
18:40But my left hand was rock steady.
18:42Every stitch was tight and perfect, without a single mistake.
18:45The medical consultants outside the window leaned forward without realizing it.
18:49Their pupils shrank.
18:51They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
18:54They were all senior experts in the field.
18:56They could see how hard this surgery was.
18:58And they could see the terrifying precision of my left hand.
19:04It's the hand of God.
19:05Gavin stared at my steady left hand.
19:07His nails dug into his palms.
19:10The sharp pain kept him awake.
19:13Only now did he realize that the cut he made that day had destroyed a mortal hand.
19:18But it couldn't destroy the medical skill carved into my very bones.
19:22I deliberately slowed down the stitching.
19:24Every time I finished connecting a section of the vessel, I paused for a few seconds.
19:29I let the monitor's alarms keep torturing the three seconds.
19:34Jade's hallucinations were still going.
19:37She kept spilling more truth.
19:39The paper.
19:40The one about minimally invasive erotic repair.
19:45I didn't write it.
19:47I stole Lydia's draft.
19:49The data in the academic report was all fake.
19:54I could never get those clinical results.
19:57I was so scared of being exposed.
20:02I was scared of being ordinary again.
20:08Every word was a sharp knife, slicing through the fake image the Hart family had maintained for years.
20:13George swayed.
20:14He almost fell.
20:16The Hart Medical Group stock price had been propped up by Jade's genius image.
20:20If the scandal of academic fraud and medical murder came out, the stock would crash instantly.
20:25Years of work would be destroyed.
20:28Sophia could no longer keep up her elegant act.
20:30She slid down the glass and sat on the floor, tears mixed with fear rolling down her face.
20:36She always knew Jade was average and untalented, but she stubbornly favored the child she raised for 20 years.
20:42To pave the way for Jade, she cruelly abandoned her own flesh and blood.
20:48Now the consequences of her choices had come crashing back on her.
20:52The live stream comments had completely flipped.
20:55The whole screen was filled with guilt toward me and outrage at the Hart family.
21:00So the genius stole her work.
21:02The reputation was all fake.
21:04I cursed Lydia seven years ago.
21:06I owe her an apology.
21:08Cutting someone's tendon and bling them online?
21:10This family is heartless.
21:13Everyone who smashed that car wash dope apologize now.
21:16You destroyed his only safe place.
21:19I glassed at the scrolling comments out of the corner of my eye.
21:22I felt nothing.
21:23Justice that comes too late means nothing.
21:27The sympathy of strangers is cheap and useless.
21:30When I was framed and sent to prison seven years ago, no one spoke up for me.
21:35The apologies now won't give me back those seven years.
21:39They won't erase the permanent scar on my hand.
21:4220 minutes later, the last stitch was done.
21:44I tied it off cleanly and cut the extra thread.
21:47My movements were smooth and precise.
21:49The bleeding wound was completely closed.
21:51The chaotic heart rate on the monitor slowly steadied.
21:54The annoying alarms stopped.
21:56Jade stopped shaking.
21:57Her eyes were closed.
21:59She was in a deep coma.
22:01Her vital signs were temporarily stable.
22:04The three people outside all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
22:08Their tense nerves relaxed.
22:10Their backs were soaked with cold sweat.
22:14She's alive!
22:16She's alive!
22:18Sophia cried tears of joy, muttering to herself.
22:22I knew it.
22:24You wouldn't really kill your own sister, Lydia.
22:29You're not a bad person.
22:32Come back to the Hart family.
22:34We can forget the past.
22:36I peeled off my bloody gloves and tossed them into the medical waste bin.
22:40The plastic clattered loudly.
22:41I picked up the microphone.
22:43Don't get too happy.
22:44The Orita is successfully repaired.
22:47But I left a tiny reversible injury on the surface of her heart muscle.
22:51My voice was cold and sharp, shattering their brief hope.
22:55The three outside the window went pale again.
22:57It can't be seen with the naked eye.
22:59Regular equipment won't detect it.
23:02It won't kill her.
23:04But it will permanently weaken her heart's ability to handle stress.
23:08From now on, Jade cannot do surgery.
23:11Cannot handle high pressure work.
23:14Cannot get emotionally worked up.
23:16For the rest of her life, she will never hold a scalpel again.
23:20She will never be a doctor again.
23:23That thing she spent her whole life chasing.
23:26That she treasured like her own life.
23:28I crushed it with my own hands.
23:30His chest heaved.
23:32Rage was destroying his sanity.
23:34You're crazy!
23:36Litigrade! This is pre-meditated revenge!
23:38I'm gonna sue you!
23:40I'm gonna send you back to prison!
23:42I raised an eyebrow.
23:43Sue me?
23:45You can try.
23:48This surgery was live streamed.
23:50Every single move was standard and legal.
23:54There's no evidence of misconduct.
23:57That tiny injury is a surgical complication.
24:01Even the top medical forensics can't prove it was done on purpose.
24:05I had thought of everything.
24:06Revenge was never about acting on impulse.
24:09It was a careful plan.
24:10Step by step.
24:11Gavin finally couldn't hold back.
24:13His voice shook.
24:14All his arrogance and coldness gone.
24:16Replaced by fear and helplessness.
24:19Lydia, let's talk.
24:20I know I was wrong.
24:21I was lied to back then.
24:23I shouldn't have hurt your hand.
24:24I shouldn't have bullied you online.
24:26The engagement agreement is still here.
24:28I'm willing to honor it and marry you.
24:30I'll give you half of Winter's group's assets.
24:32Just please spare Jade.
24:35Stop going after the Hart family.
24:36He reached into his bag and pulled out that yellowed, torn engagement agreement.
24:41His fingers gently smoothed the wrinkles.
24:44I walked to the soundproof door that connected to the observation room.
24:47I pressed the button to open it.
24:49The heavy door slid open slowly.
24:51I walked step by step to Gavin.
24:54My eyes fell on his fair, slender, perfectly intact hands.
24:59These were the hands that once held a sharp scalpel and cut my tendons without mercy.
25:06Marry me?
25:07I laughed coldly.
25:08Gavin, are you still living in the past?
25:11You think I still want you?
25:14That I still want this pathetic engagement?
25:17I reached up, snatched the engagement agreement from his hand, and ripped it into pieces.
25:23The paper made a loud tearing sound.
25:26Shreds fell to the smooth marble floor.
25:31Seven years ago, you ruined my hand.
25:34You trampled on my dignity.
25:36You stood by and watched as they sent me to a dark, hopeless prison.
25:41I leaned close to his ear.
25:43My voice was low and cold.
25:46Full of icy hatred.
25:51Now, you disgust me.
25:54No one had ever crushed his pride so directly and coldly.
26:00The shock made him panic.
26:02I know I was wrong.
26:05Lydia, give me one more chance.
26:07I stepped aside coldly and avoided him.
26:10No hesitation.
26:12The disgust in my eyes was direct and sharp.
26:15Too late.
26:18Just then, quick, steady footsteps came from the operating room hallway.
26:22The sound of dress shoes got closer.
26:25A tall, young man walked in.
26:27He was carrying a stack of neatly bound documents.
26:31It was Cole Fields.
26:33He wore a simple black coat.
26:35He looked like he had rushed over.
26:37Sweat dotted his forehead.
26:39His eyes immediately found me.
26:42He spotted the burn marks on my back from the stun baton.
26:45Pain flashed in his eyes, then quickly disappeared as he calmed himself down.
26:51He walked straight to George and slammed the stack of documents onto the metal table.
26:56The sound was loud and sharp.
27:00Mr. Hart, this is all the evidence from the medical accident seven years ago.
27:04The altered medical records.
27:07The surveillance of Jade using illegal drugs that day.
27:10The hidden recording from the operating room.
27:12And the bank records of her buying banned drugs.
27:16Also, I am submitting additional evidence proving that during Lydia's seven years in prison,
27:21the Hart family used their money to suppress the truth and smear her reputation.
27:25George stared at the evidence on the table.
27:28His pupils trembled.
27:30His whole body went stiff.
27:32He had no fight left in him.
27:35He never imagined that this seemingly gentle young man had been quietly collecting evidence for seven years.
27:43Sophia panicked and reached for the documents.
27:46Cole sidestepped her easily and looked at her with cold eyes.
27:51Mrs. Hart, seven years ago, my brother Kevin died on that operating table.
27:56The real killer walked free.
27:58An innocent person went to prison.
28:01Today, I'm here to get justice for the dead.
28:04I looked at Cole.
28:05A hint of softness crossed my eyes.
28:08It was the only emotion I showed all day.
28:12I took out my phone and dialed an encrypted number.
28:15My voice was flat as I gave the order.
28:19Falsifying a medical accident.
28:21Commercial defamation.
28:23Malicious physical assault.
28:25Academic fraud.
28:27Hand them all over to the federal prosecutor.
28:30Open an investigation at the highest level.
28:34A respectful, steady voice answered on the other end.
28:37George looked up, his eyes full of terror.
28:40Who did you call?
28:41You have other connections.
28:46I slowly pulled out the broken, blackened metal badge from my chest pocket.
28:51The badge had simple, dark patterns on it.
28:54Understated, but heavy with meaning.
28:56This was a token given to me by a mysterious old man in prison.
29:01He was a secret owner of an international, top-tier medical group.
29:05You thought I got out of prison early and hid my identity just to run a little car wash?
29:10I rubbed the pattern on the badge with my fingers.
29:13My voice was cold.
29:15The only reason I stayed in this city was to wait for you to come to me.
29:20So I could settle every single old debt with my own hands.
29:26In less than three minutes, heavy, steady footsteps came from the hallway.
29:32Several security personnel in black suits with cold expressions walked in quickly.
29:37They moved fast.
29:39No extra words.
29:40They grabbed George, Sophia, and Gavin.
29:43George struggled, his face purple.
29:45You can't take me!
29:47I'm the chairman of Heart Group!
29:52I have money!
29:53I can buy my way out of anything!
29:56In the face of real rules, your money is worthless.
30:00I spoke coldly.
30:02You used money to twisted the truth back then.
30:05Now you pay the price.
30:10The guard grabbed Gavin's wrists.
30:12Red marks appeared on his pale skin.
30:15He turned his head and stared at me.
30:17His eyes were red.
30:19His voice cracked.
30:22Lydia, you never loved me, did you?
30:25From the moment you came back, all you wanted was revenge?
30:29I glanced at him coldly.
30:31No hesitation.
30:33The moment you cut my tendons,
30:36every bit of love I had for you died.
30:39No extra explanation.
30:41No extra emotion.
30:42The love from the past was gone.
30:45The three were taken away one by one.
30:48The livestream was still on.
30:49I reached up and pressed the off button.
30:51The screen went black.
30:53The noise from the outside world was cut off.
30:57The empty operating room now had only me and Cole.
31:01And Jade.
31:02Unconscious on the table.
31:04Completely finished.
31:06The monitor beeped steadily, a fake sign of peace.
31:11Cole walked to my side.
31:12His eyes fell on the unhealed burn marks on my back.
31:16His brow furrowed.
31:20He asked softly.
31:21Does it hurt?
31:22I brought medicine.
31:25I shook my head gently.
31:27I flexed my shaking right hand.
31:29The scar still twitched, but it didn't hurt like it used to.
31:33It's fine.
31:35This pain is nothing compared to what I went through in prison.
31:38Seven years in that dark, deadly prison.
31:42Violence.
31:43Sickness.
31:44Pain.
31:47I had turned myself into iron.
31:50Physical pain didn't matter anymore.
31:55All the evidence has been submitted.
31:57The legal process will move fast.
32:00Cole straightened the documents in his hand.
32:02His voice was steady.
32:04Heart Group stock crashed today.
32:06All their partners pulled out.
32:08They're on the verge of bankruptcy overnight.
32:10The three of them are guilty.
32:11There's no way out.
32:13I nodded slightly.
32:14My eyes were calm as I looked at Jade on the table.
32:17She was alive.
32:19But she had lost everything she ever cared about.
32:23She would carry her guilt for the rest of her life.
32:26That was worse than death.
32:29It was the perfect punishment for what she did.
32:32Is it over?
32:34Cole asked softly.
32:37I turned my head and looked out the window at the bright sunlight.
32:41My right hand still shook.
32:44But inside, I was completely free.
32:47Free.
32:49No.
32:50I said slowly.
32:52My voice firm and calm.
32:55The reckoning has just begun.
32:58Seven years ago, besides the Hart family, there were so many others who helped them.
33:04The media who lied.
33:06The doctors who twisted the truth.
33:08The rich and powerful who looked away.
33:10Everyone who hurt me, I wouldn't let a single one go.
33:14I would never be a weak lamb waiting to be slaughtered again.
33:17I had top medical skills.
33:19I had top connections and money.
33:22I would rewrite every injustice with my own hands.
33:25I would take back everything that belonged to me.
33:28I would tear open the dirty secrets hidden under this city's shiny surface.
33:32I took off my bloody surgery gown and threw it in the trash.
33:36I was wearing simple black work clothes, covered in oil stains.
33:41But I stood up straight.
33:43My presence was sharp and cold.
33:46Let's go.
33:47Let's go.
33:48I looked at Cole next to me.
33:50Let's go fix that radio first.
33:54His eyes curved into a smile.
33:56He nodded gently.
33:58We walked out of the cold, silent operating room together.
34:02Our backs were straight and determined.
34:05Behind us, the once glorious Hart family had fallen.
34:09The fake genius was in the dust.
34:12All their sins were exposed in the sunlight.
34:16At the end of the empty hallway, sunlight poured down.
34:19It pushed away the cold darkness that had surrounded me for years.
34:25I raised my hand to block the bright light.
34:28The scar running across the back of my hand was clear and bright in the sun.
34:33The scar will stay forever.
34:36But from now on, I am no longer Lydia Gray, the abandoned victim.
34:41I hold a sharp blade in my hand.
34:45I have light in my heart.
34:47I will walk step by step toward every darkness.
34:52I will walk step by step by step by step by step by step.
34:52I need to find that light in my heart.
34:52I have a lightness to open my heart, and I will walk to step by step by step by step.
34:53The darkness passed away.
