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
00:18upstairs 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 sultry as
00:34she 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 the
00:56stairs, curling up in pain at the bottom.He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down
01:01at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying my child. From now on, you take care of her meals.
01:09Three different dishes every day, no repeats. You help her have a safe delivery. And pack your things.
01:17Move from our bedroom to the guest room. You're nothing more than Natalie's nanny now.
01:24I 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.
01:34Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me. Mark my words. Within three days,
01:41she'll come crawling back, begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished speaking,
01:48the guest's present began to snicker. Just as I was about to step out of the mansion,
01:53Jack suddenly called after me. Leave your cross necklace behind. Natalie's been having nightmares
02:00lately. That necklace was all I had left of my parents. Meeting my tear-filled eyes,
02:05his tone remained ice 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
02:17bothered to calculate. But I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace,
02:21he'd fly into a rage and have his bodyguards take it by force. Just like the last time they'd
02:27stolen my other belongings, I removed the necklace and fastened it around Natalie's neck,
02:31saying to her. I wish you and the baby. You're carrying 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,
03:14even if his wife were dying. It wouldn't matter as much as his mistress getting a tiny scratch.
03:19I gripped the handle of my suitcase tighter and turned to leave, but Jack grabbed my wrist,
03:24his voice frigid. Apologize. What? Before I could finish, he dragged me down,
03:30forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet. Damn, my knees scraped against the jade fragments,
03:35blood staining the white marble floor. Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust,
03:40and he released his grip. You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace,
03:45and injured her. Don't you owe her an apology? After nine years of marriage to Jack,
03:51I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase. I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood,
03:56then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie, saying I'm sorry, three times before
04:01looking at Jack with detached indifference. Is that enough? He stared at the blood on my lips,
04:08his chest visibly rising and falling. Stop putting on that disgusting, pitiful act. Before I could
04:15respond, the family doctor arrived in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor to Natalie's side,
04:21while his attention was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the mansion,
04:25just as I reached the entrance. I heard two crisp car horns, seeing the Maybach outside the iron gates,
04:31I quickened my pace, but before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly rushed out and
04:37forcibly dragged me back into the mansion. They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me to a
04:43chair and ordered the staff to use a thick needle to draw my blood. Through the half-open door,
04:48I heard the doctor speaking to Jack. Both Mrs. Evelyn and Ms. Natalie have a negative blood type.
04:56But Mrs. Evelyn has a history of congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger
05:06acute shock. I suggest we transfer her to a hospital first, before giving Ms. Natalie the transfusion for
05:15her anemia. Don't try to persuade me otherwise, Jack's voice was ice cold. Your job is to make Natalie
05:22better. I'll handle everything else. Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
05:30Does 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
05:43milliliters of blood, my lips had turned purple just then. Natalie's coughing echoed from the master
05:48bedroom. Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle. Demanding double the amount,
05:53the doctor was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him, saying that drawing more blood might
05:58kill me. Jack hesitated for two seconds before saying only. Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come
06:05first. But. I interrupted the doctor. Try it. Just let me leave afterward. Jack looked at my bloodless
06:14face, anger churning in his eyes, but 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 my 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 over
06:40a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me. I shook my head. I can do it myself. Watching me
06:45eat half the
06:46bowl, Jack asked. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? I deflected his question. Give me my phone.
06:54Perhaps my tone was too distant because he froze for a few seconds before having the butler bring
06:59my phone over. Seeing the string of missed calls on my phone, Jack asked out of nowhere.
07:04Who called? He never asked about such things before. 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.
07:16How long are you going to keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your terrible
07:25attitude? In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior while
07:31trying my best to appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him
07:36emotionlessly. Natalie'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?
08:00No. I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident. An accident? What happened to you? I need to
08:11come back to the country immediately. I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips
08:18together. Just give me a few more days. When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the
08:24phone.
08:24He caught sight of the long-absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable
08:30tightness in his chest. But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby,
08:38so he didn't have time to ask who I'd been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often
08:44visited
08:44me after marrying into this family, my social circle had been reduced to only female relatives.
08:51He picked up his documents and said without looking back. I have some business at the company.
08:58I'll come back tomorrow. But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared.
09:06Instead, through mutual friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie to
09:13galas and dinner parties. 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,
09:28he stood on a hot air balloon, cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss. I
09:35commented, wishing you both many children and eternal happiness. Ten minutes later, Jack called me. I didn't
09:43answer. Half an hour later, I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone. Outside the hospitals. Maternity ward,
09:53I ran into Jack and Natalie. They were being intimate again, completely. Oblivious to their surroundings.
10:00Jack'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
10:24outside the study door. Watching my husband with his arms wrapped around his secretary, Natalie was

27:50Natalie is calling you. Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit,
27:56he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my
28:02phone rang.
28:03When I answered, the person on the other end spoke urgently before I could say anything.
28:09Weren't you supposed to come find me? Are you having second thoughts?
28:13No, I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
28:19An accident. What happened to you? I need to come back to the country immediately.
28:26I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
28:31Just give me a few more days. When Jack returned to the room, I had just hung up the phone.
28:37He caught sight of the long-absent smile at the corner of my mouth and felt an inexplicable
28:43tightness in his chest. But he had promised to go back and sing lullabies to Natalie and the baby,
28:50so he didn't have time to ask who I'd been talking to. It must have been that cousin who often
28:56visited
28:57me after marrying into this family, my social circle had been reduced to only female relatives.
29:04He picked up his documents and said without looking back,
29:07I have some business at the company. I'll come back tomorrow.
29:12But tomorrow, the day after, and the day after. That, he never appeared. Instead,
29:19through mutual friends, I kept receiving videos of him and Natalie together. He took Natalie to galas and
29:26dinner parties. Like a lovesick teenager, eager to introduce her to everyone. On the day I was
29:34discharged from the hospital. Jack posted a nine-photo grid on Instagram. Under the sunset,
29:40he stood on a hot air balloon, cupping Natalie's flushed face as they shared a passionate kiss.
29:47I commented, wishing you both many children and eternal happiness. Ten minutes later,
29:54Jack called me. I didn't answer. Half an hour later, I completed my discharge. Paperwork alone.
30:02Outside the hospitals. Maternity ward, I ran into Jack and Natalie. They were being intimate again,
30:09completely. Oblivious to their surroundings. Jack's hand. Moved to cup Natalie's breast, caressing her.
30:23I had meticulously planned our ninth. Wedding anniversary party even going so.
30:29Far as to invite numerous friends and. Guests to celebrate with us. Before the party began,
30:35I found myself upstairs outside the study door. Watching my husband with his arms wrapped around
30:41his secretary. Natalie was nestled against Jack's chest, her face flushed with post-intimacy
30:46satisfaction. When are you going to make our relationship public? Natalie asked breathlessly,
30:52her voice sultry as she melted against Jack's embrace. Jack took her hand in his. Soon. He replied.
30:59When Jack spotted me, his expression immediately turned serious. He grabbed the wine glass beside
31:05him and hurled it in my direction, striking me square in the forehead. Who gave you permission to
31:10spy on us? I clutched my bleeding head, stumbling and tumbling down the stairs, curling up in pain at the
31:17bottom. He and Natalie stood on the second floor, looking down at me with disdain. Natalie is carrying
31:22my child. From now on, you take care of her meals. Three different dishes every day. No repeats. You help
31:32her have a safe delivery. And pack your things. Move from our bedroom to the guest room. You're nothing more
31:40than Natalie's nanny now. I said nothing, struggling to my feet and grabbing the suitcase I had already
31:46packed. I walked calmly toward the front door. The butler moved to stop me, but Jack laughed coldly.
31:52Let her make a scene. She could never bear to leave me. Mark my words. Within three days,
32:00she'll come crawling back, begging for my forgiveness. As soon as he finished speaking,
32:06the 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, his tone
32:24remained ice cold. How much money will it take for you to give Natalie that necklace? Nine years of
32:31marriage, living like dirt beneath his feet. What was that worth? I couldn't be bothered to calculate.
32:36But I knew that if I didn't comply and hand over the necklace, he'd fly into a rage and have
32:42his
32:42bodyguards take it by force. Just like the last time they'd stolen my other belongings,
32:47I 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,
33:05my child will be your child too. The moment he finished speaking,
33:09the necklace around Natalie's neck suddenly slipped and shattered on the floor. Seeing that
33:14the fragments had cut Natalie's leg, Jack immediately swept her up in his arms,
33:18carrying her princess-style to a chair while barking orders at the butler to call the family doctor.
33:24His frantic concern made everyone present look at me with barely concealed amusement. The whole scene
33:29was so absurd that even I found it ridiculous sigh in his eyes, even if his wife were dying.
33:35It 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.
33:45What? Before I could finish, he dragged me down, forcing me to my knees beside Natalie's feet,
33:51damn my knees scraped against the jade fragments, blood staining the white marble floor.
33:55Seeing the blood, Jack's eyes flashed with disgust, and he released his grip.
34:00You deliberately sabotaged Natalie's necklace, and injured her. Don't you owe her an apology?
34:07After nine years of marriage to Jack, I'm sorry, had become practically my catchphrase,
34:12I bit my lower lip until I tasted blood, then resignedly stood up and bowed deeply to Natalie,
34:18saying I'm sorry, three times before looking at Jack with detached indifference.
34:22Is that enough?
34:24He stared at the blood on my lips, his chest visibly rising and falling.
34:29Stop putting on that disgusting pitiful act.
34:33Before I could respond, the family doctor arrived in a rush, Jack shoved me aside and led the doctor
34:38to Natalie's side, while his attention was completely focused on her, I quickly walked out of the
34:43mansion, just as I reached the entrance. I heard two crisp car horns, seeing the Maybach outside the
34:49iron gates, I quickened my pace, but before the gates could fully open, two bodyguards suddenly
34:55rushed out and forcibly dragged me back into the mansion.
34:59They brought me to the study, where Jack tied me to a chair and ordered the staff to use a
35:04thick
35:04needle to draw my blood. Through the half-open door, I heard the doctor speaking to Jack.
35:09Both Mrs. Evelyn and Miss Natalie have a negative blood type. But Mrs. Evelyn has a history of
35:18congenital heart disease. Forcibly drawing blood could trigger acute shock. I suggest we transfer
35:27her to her to a hospital first, before giving Miss Natalie the transfusion for her anemia.
35:35Don'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.
35:44Hearing Jack's approaching footsteps, I slowly closed my eyes.
35:48Does it hurt? His tone carried a rare note of comfort.
35:52Just bear with it a little longer. We'll be done soon.
35:57I turned my head away, too tired to waste words on him. After drawing 800 milliliters of blood,
36:02my lips had turned purple just then. Natalie's coughing echoed from the master bedroom.
36:07Jack immediately stopped the doctor from removing the needle, demanding double the amount. The doctor
36:12was sweating profusely as he tried to dissuade him, saying that drawing more blood might kill me.
36:17Jack hesitated for 2 seconds before saying only. Natalie is pregnant. Her needs come first. But.
36:26I interrupted the doctor. Try 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
36:52bed. Reviewing documents, after we stared at each other for a long moment, he expressionlessly brought
36:58over a bowl of oatmeal and tried to feed me. I shook my head. I can do it myself. Watching
37:04me eat half
37:04the bowl, Jack asked. Are 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?
37:24He never asked about such things before to a flash of irritation crossed my eyes as I simply said.
37:30No one you know. Jack loosened the top button of his shirt and looked down at me. How long are
37:36you going to
37:36keep throwing this tantrum? Besides me, who else would put up with your terrible attitude?
37:45In the past, whenever he got angry, I would always reflect on my own behavior while trying my best to
37:50appease him. But now, I simply pointed at his vibrating phone and reminded him emotionlessly.
37:56Natalie is calling you. Hearing this, Jack's eyes immediately lit up with joy. Out of habit,
38:03he stepped away from me and went into the hallway to take the call. As soon as he left, my

38:19No. I'm not having second thoughts. There was just an accident.
38:26An accident? What happened to you? I need to come back to.
38:30The country immediately. I interrupted his rambling, looking down and pressing my lips together.
