00:00Ten years ago, my parents' adopted daughter, my sister Lucy White, set a fire and injured someone, but with my
00:07parents' help, all the evidence pointed to me.
00:09The victim's family poured a bucket of gasoline on me, saying they would die with me.
00:14My parents and my own brother also secretly persuaded me to take the blame for Lucy.
00:19Lucy didn't mean it! She was also injured in the fire!
00:22She can't go to jail! You take the blame for her!
00:25Of course I refused, but the next day, I was put on a police car by them.
00:30The overwhelming news also made the university that had already accepted me announce that I would be permanently rejected.
00:37My fiancé, the powerful business magnate Louis, fearing I might escape, joined forces with the White family to personally send
00:45me to an island prison, leaving me no way out.
00:48Before boarding the island, he promised me...
00:51Just endure ten years. When you get out, we'll get married.
00:54I was bullied in prison for ten years. Ten years later, I was finally able to leave.
01:00When I was released, the guard handed me a shabby package.
01:04I hope you find a new life. Move forward. Don't look back.
01:09I took the already worn out personal items from the guard and boarded a dilapidated fishing boat.
01:14After the fishing boat docked, I immediately saw the Maybach.
01:18The window rolled down, and it was my fiancé.
01:21You've suffered these ten years. I promise you. Let's get married.
01:25I didn't look at him much. I just got straight into the car.
01:28From the rearview mirror, I saw myself now. Gaunt cheeks, sallow complexion, and a horrifying scar on my face.
01:35What happened to your face?
01:36Louis' phone suddenly rang. I saw the note on the screen.
01:41Lucy's mother rose, also my biological mother.
01:45Louis answered the phone and glanced at me.
01:49Sorry, something happened to Lucy.
01:51You know, the fire ten years ago traumatized her and she developed schizophrenia.
01:55Today on your Rithwood, she's having collusions again.
01:57Your parents and brother at the hospital and I have to go too.
02:00Drop me off on the roadside. I'll take a seat home.
02:04I got out of the car directly.
02:09I'll arrange a driver to take you home.
02:12I'll also find a doctor to treat the scar on your face.
02:17You recover. We'll get married.
02:19I watched the car's exhaust fumes, feeling dazed.
02:23I endured thousands of days on the isolated island, and no one ever came to visit me.
02:2926 years ago, my mother and I accidentally got separated while playing at a mountain resort.
02:35Grief-stricken, they adopted an abandoned child who looked a bit like me two years later and named her Lucy.
02:41When I was found at age 12, they didn't love me.
02:45They only made me give in to my sister and everything and take care of her feelings.
02:50Ten years ago, they made me take the blame for Lucy's imprisonment, saying I had no artistic talent anyway,
02:56and that the art school's permanent rejection of me was no loss.
02:59They all disdained to even look at me, including Louis.
03:03Compared to Lucy, I was the adopted one.
03:07Two hours later, I arrived at the White family.
03:10Only the Alfred and two maids were there.
03:13They looked at me with disdain.
03:15Miss, the incident ten years ago caused a huge scandal.
03:19Sir and Madam have instructed that you not go out.
03:22The White family can't afford any more shame.
03:24They didn't know the truth of what happened back then.
03:27I wasn't very angry.
03:28I just found it a bit laughable how they now looked at me with such contempt.
03:33As for the others, I had long stopped expecting anything from them.
03:37I pushed open the door to my room, and the smell of dust made me cough.
03:40I was too tired.
03:43Not caring whether it was clean, I lay down directly on the dusty bed.
03:47At night, I heard my brother Henry and my parents' voices.
03:51Why did you bring Amelia back?
03:53It's all her fault that Lucy got upset again.
03:56If anything happens to Lucy, I'll put Amelia back in jail for life.
04:02After all, Amelia is our child.
04:05Her sentence is over.
04:06If she lives out there and gets photographed again, it will trigger Lucy.
04:09Then what do you suggest we do?
04:10The hospital is cold and lonely.
04:11Lucy can't stay there forever.
04:13When Lucy comes back, just keep Amelia in her room.
04:16Stay out of sight.
04:17Even though I had no expectations left for them, hearing mom say stay out of sight still
04:21made me sad.
04:22In the darkness, my phone rang.
04:25The caller was Professor Lucas.
04:28My art girl, my child.
04:31It's been 10 years since we lost contact.
04:34How are you?
04:35I met Professor Lucas at a charity event at an orphanage.
04:39This kind old man greatly admired my work.
04:42He often called me art girl and my child.
04:45Even before I was accepted by the university, Professor Lucas had invited me to Paris to
04:50be his assistant and continue my studies.
04:53But before I could decide, they sent me to the prison for 10 whole years.
04:58Unexpectedly, Professor Lucas didn't believe the news from back then.
05:03He worried about me for 10 years and called me as soon as I was released.
05:07I was still his child.
05:09Professor, is there still a chance for me to go to Paris now?
05:12My child.
05:13God bless you.
05:14The doors of art are always open for you.
05:17Give me one month.
05:18I will come to get you personally.
05:20I want to bring the artistic genius back to her stage.
05:24After hanging up, I calmed down.
05:27One month.
05:28Just endure one more month.
05:30And I could leave this loveless hell forever.
05:33In one month, I could be reborn.
05:46The next morning, I pushed open my door.
05:55Lucy was back.
05:56She sat on the sofa, wearing a pale yellow dress, her face pale but delicate like a princess.
06:02And my parents, brother, and fiance were all around her.
06:05Narrator Henry brought out a cake, and they started celebrating her.
06:10Happy birthday, Lucy.
06:12This year, I specially learned baking.
06:14I made this it's myself.
06:15I wonder you'll like it.
06:16Happy birthday.
06:18Mom loves you forever.
06:19Happy birthday.
06:20Wow, thank you mom and dad and Louis.
06:22Did everyone prepare gifts for me too?
06:24Our Lucy is so smart.
06:26My mother, while praising her, handed over an exquisite gift.
06:30Box.
06:31My dad and Henry also gave their gifts one after another.
06:34With a tender gaze at Lucy, handed her a wrapped painting.
06:38I had a friend bid on this for you at a Paris auction.
06:41It's a work by Professor Lucas.
06:42I hope you like it.
06:44Lucy's eyes were full of happiness.
06:46Just then, she noticed.
06:49Amelia, I was sick yesterday and couldn't pick you up.
06:52Please don't blame me, okay?
06:54Louis also saw what.
06:56After all, you're her sister.
06:57Dump she blame you.
06:58Come on, let's celebrate Lucy's birthday.
07:00Looking at the smug Lucy,
07:02I really didn't know what to say.
07:04No upbringing, that's what it is.
07:06Even after all these years still so on oath,
07:08on your sister's birthday, you can't even say a word.
07:11They forgot.
07:12Today is also my birthday.
07:14They adopted Lucy back then
07:16because she shared the same birthday as me.
07:21It's okay, I don't blame sister.
07:24Sister has had a hard time too.
07:27Amelia, can you give me a gift too?
07:29Consider it celebrating my discharge from the hospital, okay?
07:33I want your fiancé Lewin.
07:34You give him to me, please?
07:40Lucy's dirty thoughts were spoken,
07:42but no one found it wrong.
07:44They were all waiting for my answer.
07:47Sister, I was just joking with you.
07:49I'm sorry I made you angry.
07:50Let me apologize to you.
07:54Don't be sad, Lucy.
07:56You know Amelia has always been petty.
07:58You are mom's only precious daughter.
08:00And my dad and Henry immediately gathered around to comfort her.
08:04Louis turned to look at me.
08:06Lucy was just joking.
08:08Aren't you worried about triggering her again?
08:10You're being too inconsiderate.
08:12What a only precious daughter.
08:14Looking at this warm family before me,
08:16I no longer needed to feel sad.
08:19I walked towards the door.
08:21I haven't seen much sun in 10 years.
08:23I'm going out for a walk.
08:24Mom suddenly called out to me.
08:26Wear a mask.
08:28Don't get recognized.
08:37I still put on the mask.
08:40One more month.
08:41In one month,
08:42I'll see Professor Lucas again.
08:45In one month,
08:46I can be reborn.
08:47I can wait.
08:48And I don't want any variables.
08:51After leaving the white family,
08:53I took the subway to a street near the university.
08:56Without a degree and with a criminal record,
08:59I found a temporary job at a fried chicken shaffir.
09:01Although the work environment was greasy
09:03and the work dull and exhausting,
09:05at least it included a meal so I wouldn't go hungry.
09:08The white family never had a meal for me.
09:11Since being brought back by the white family adage 12,
09:13they had only given me a total of $500.
09:16When it needed tuition and living expenses,
09:18they would just scold me.
09:20Spoiled since childhood, that's the problem.
09:23You're just an ungrateful dog.
09:25From then on,
09:26I never asked them for money again.
09:29Over the years,
09:30I worked and studied.
09:32When I was under age,
09:34I moved from factory to factory,
09:36sometimes no Tevin getting paid.
09:38As long as I could eat,
09:39I didn't really care about the pay,
09:41just survival.
09:47Once,
09:48Louis was my only light.
09:50He protected me,
09:51rescued me from bullies,
09:53and took me to eat.
09:54The way he looked at me
09:55was something I had never seen elsewhere.
09:59I depended on him,
10:00trusted him unconditionally.
10:06So much so that 11 years ago,
10:08when he was seriously ill,
10:09I didn't hesitate to donate half of my liver to save him.
10:12The liver can regenerate,
10:13but the pain after the donation and scar on my stomach couldn't be ignored.
10:17But it was okay,
10:18as long as I could save him.
10:20But from the moment he personally sent me to the prison and,
10:23along with the white family,
10:25made me take the blame.
10:26Everything was over.
10:2815 more days,
10:29and I would never have to see him again.
10:32No one would ever hurt me again.
10:34In the following days,
10:35I continued my routine,
10:37until I saw the news of Lucy and Louis' engagement on TV.
10:40Louis and I were betrothed before birth.
10:43Later,
10:43when I got lost,
10:45Louis helped publish newspaper notices to find me.
10:47When I was found,
10:48Louis came again to discuss the marriage,
10:50the love Louis spoke of over the years.
10:52I know I shouldn't believe I'd anymore.
10:57That night,
10:58when I returned to the white family,
11:00I saw the whole family sitting neatly in the living room.
11:02You're back.
11:03Come,
11:04let's sit together as a family and discuss your sister's wedding.
11:07Lucy was traumatized in that fire,
11:09and her hallucinations are getting worse.
11:10Only Louis can help her a bit.
11:12You wouldn't object to letting your sister have the engagement.
11:16It started with making me give up my room to my sister.
11:19The stray cat I rescued,
11:20the recommendation for university,
11:22anything could be Lucy's.
11:24Even though Lucy cherished nothing,
11:26I still remember the day I brought that kitten home.
11:29And I remember how it died in Lucy's hands.
11:36I asked Louis.
11:39You agreed?
11:41Louis looked at me with some evasion in his eyes.
11:47It's the only way to help Lucy get better.
11:50You understand,
11:51don't you?
11:52You decide.
11:53Why bother asking me?
11:54I was about to go back to my mateshift room in the attic,
11:57but Henry stopped me.
11:59Amelia,
11:59how can you be so cold and selfish?
12:01My sister is sick.
12:03Besides,
12:03with your criminal record,
12:05how could you ever be worthy of Louis?
12:07Louis took my hand.
12:08I don't think you're unworthy of me.
12:10Let me stay with Lucy for a while.
12:11When she stabilizes,
12:13then we can get married,
12:14okay?
12:15After all,
12:15she donated her liver to save me.
12:17I can't betray her.
12:18I was the one who donated my liver.
12:20When did it become Lucy's?
12:23Would you believe me if I said it was me who saved you?
12:26Amelia,
12:27are you shameless?
12:28Everyone knows the truth,
12:30yet you still lie.
12:31Are you that desperate to compete with your sister?
12:33Let me tell you,
12:34you will never measure up to your sister.
12:36I ignored my father.
12:38Just seeing the disappointment in Louis's eyes told me his answer.
12:43I returned to my attic.
12:47It didn't matter.
12:49In three days,
12:51Professor Lucas will come for me.
12:54I would always be Professor Lucas's proudest child.
13:06The next day,
13:08Henry came to my fried chicken stall and gave me a card.
13:10The pin is Lucy's birthday,
13:12which is also yours.
13:13You should know it.
13:14Go get your face fixed.
13:16That big scar will look bad at Lucy's wedding.
13:19Also,
13:19the family hasn't mistreated you over the years.
13:21We've given you your monthly abounds on time.
13:24You don't need to act like a poor abused thing.
13:28Allowance?
13:28When did you ever give me allowance?
13:30If I had money,
13:31would I have been so desperate as to work all these years?
13:34You're impossible.
13:36Henry finished speaking and left in a hurry.
13:39On the eve of Louis and Lucy's wedding,
13:41also thieving off my departure for Paris,
13:44former classmates suggested a reunion.
13:46The fried chicken shop was closed for the day.
13:49And before I could hide,
13:50a large group appeared at the White family.
13:53Amelia?
13:54You're here too?
13:55Weren't you clinging to Louis for years?
13:57Did you already know Louis would be your brother-in-law,
13:59so you were building a good relationship?
14:01Speaking of which,
14:02Louis lost a dare.
14:03How about a kiss,
14:04for old times' sake?
14:05I didn't argue.
14:06I didn't want to cause troubleing
14:08ruin my plan to leave.
14:10I just prayed that Louis wouldn't humiliate me further.
14:13At that moment,
14:14Lucy was clutching Louis's sleeve tightly.
14:17I don't want to.
14:19Let the soon-to-be-weds kiss instead!
14:23Across the crowd,
14:25Louis's gaze fell on me.
14:27I show wed no expression and turned to leave.
14:30Amidst the cheers and shouts,
14:32I knew they kissed.
14:32That day was very lively.
14:35Even though I stayed in the attic,
14:37the laughter and chatter could still seep through the crack in the door.
14:40Lucy and Louis are a match made in heaven.
14:43Exactly.
14:44Remember when Lucy ran into those street thugs?
14:47Louis protected her.
14:49And later,
14:50on Louis's birthday,
14:51Lucy painted his portrait
14:53and even won an international award.
14:55Oh, you didn't know?
14:56Lucy also donated her liver to Louis.
15:02Back then,
15:03when I was first found,
15:04I was very thin from long-term malnutrition
15:06and was harassed by thugs every day.
15:08The person Louis protected was me.
15:10The one who painted Louis's portrait
15:12and won the award was me.
15:14The one who donated her liver to save Louis was me.
15:17I remembered the promises Louis once made Tom.
15:19Let's wander the world together.
15:21Thank you for painting me.
15:23I'm so happy.
15:25I will protect you for life.
15:28Don't be afraid.
15:30Amelia,
15:31I love you.
15:33The 17-year-old Louis,
15:35the one who saved will protect me,
15:37was gone.
15:37He had become something even more repulsive
15:40than the thugs who bullied me.
15:41I couldn't forgive him,
15:43just as I couldn't help but love the boy he used to be.
15:46That night,
15:47fireworks bloomed over Chicago.
15:49Louis set them off for Lucy.
15:51I received a text from Louis.
15:54I ignored the message.
15:56Tomorrow,
15:57everything would end.
15:59I went back to the attic
16:00and changed into my most decent set of clothes,
16:02my high school uniform.
16:04I didn't want to appear too shabby
16:06in front of Professor Lucas.
16:08I sat affidable and took out my diary.
16:11December 25, 2008.
16:13Mom and Dad came to take me home.
16:15I have a brother and a sister now.
16:17I'm not an orphan anymore.
16:19They gave me this diary,
16:20and I will write in it every day.
16:21January 3, 2009.
16:24The house didn't have a new room ready.
16:26When my sister came home from school,
16:27she had nowhere tossed it.
16:29Mom asked me to stay in the attic first
16:30and give my room to my sister.
16:32My sister is so cute.
16:34I'm willing to let her have a thiebig room.
16:36March 5, 2010.
16:38Tuition is due,
16:40but the boss from me when her job refused to pay me.
16:42I was afraid of getting beaten,
16:44so I had to find another job.
16:45The last page was from April 2014,
16:48the month before I was sent to prison.
16:50The diary had only one sentence.
16:52They have never loved me.
16:56I wrote the final words of this diary,
16:59January 1, 2024.
17:01Mom and Dad, I'm leaving.
17:04You can't consider me dead,
17:06but I just don't understand.
17:08If you don't love me,
17:09why did you look for me and bring me back?
17:11Do parents really not love their own child?
17:14For 10 years,
17:16did you ever, even for a moment,
17:18worry about me?
17:19Then why did you give birth to me?
17:21Henry, my brother.
17:22I never used the card you convened.
17:25It's next to the diary.
17:26Maybe you forgot,
17:27but I am also your sister.
17:29But it's okay.
17:30I'm leaving.
17:32None of it matters anymore,
17:33Louis.
17:34I can't wait for you anymore.
17:36I'm sorry.
17:37I can forgive you.
17:39Just like you told me when you were 17,
17:41if future you hurts me,
17:42don't forgive,
17:43because that one,
17:44and the 17-year-old you wouldn't forgive either.
17:47I wish you and Lucy happiness.
17:49Goodbye.
17:50Finally,
17:50I placed the prison medical report
17:52and photos on the table.
17:54The medical report clearly stated my missing liver
17:56when I entered prison,
17:57and the photos showed the horrifying,
17:59centipede-like scar on my stomach.
18:01After doing this,
18:02I just happened to receive a call from Professor Lucas.
18:05I left the White family and stepped towards mine life.
18:08Early the next morning,
18:09the White family villa was brightly lit,
18:11and guests were arriving in droves.
18:13But Louis' friends were absent rose,
18:16dressed in a custom-made gown,
18:17was adjusting Lucy's jewelry.
18:19Henry looked around but didn't see me.
18:21Mom? Dad?
18:22Amelia isn't here yet.
18:23She's always liked Louis.
18:25Maybe she's hiding because she's upset.
18:27She is still so ill-mannered.
18:30Alfred, go find her.
18:31We don't want people gossiping about the White family.
18:34Alfred,
18:34which room is Amelia staying in?
18:36I'll go with you.
18:37The attic.
18:38The attic?
18:39Isn't that where we store junk?
18:40Why has Amelia been living in the attic all this time?
18:43When Miss Amelia first came back,
18:45the other rooms weren't ready yet.
18:46She was initially staying in Miss Lucy's room,
18:49but you felt sorry for Miss Lucy,
18:51so you had Miss Amelia stay in the attic for the time being.
18:53She has such a difficult personality.
18:55I just forgot,
18:56and she never told me.
18:57It makes us look like we're abusing her.
19:00It's okay, Mom.
19:01The attic is fine.
19:02At least you gave sister a home.
19:03Enough.
19:04Henry,
19:04go get your sister.
19:06Alfred,
19:06now get two men and have them fix up a room for her.
19:11Henry walked to the attic door.
19:14When he opened it,
19:15the rising dust made him cough repeatedly.
19:18The attic had no air conditioning.
19:20It was bitterly cold in winter
19:22and stiflingly hot in summer.
19:24The furnishings were very simple.
19:26A single iron bed frame
19:28that Henry had passed down to me when I was a child.
19:31A worn-out desk,
19:32a yellowed lamp,
19:33a diary,
19:34the card Henry gave me,
19:36and a discarded sketch pad.
19:37These were all my worldly possessions.
19:40Henry,
19:41full of shock,
19:42walked over to my desk.
19:44He saw the diary
19:45and the things I had left behind.
19:47I guess he was thinking,
19:49why did I have a scar on my stomach,
19:51and why was my liver already missing
19:53when I entered prison?
19:54Didn't Lucy save Louis?
19:56Henry gathered all the materials,
20:01quickly walked downstairs,
20:05and handed them to his assistant waiting outside.
20:09Investigate these materials thoroughly.
20:12At the wedding reception,
20:13my father looked at Henry returning alone
20:16and asked about my whereabouts.
20:18Where's Amelia?
20:19She wasn't in her room.
20:21Maybe she went out.
20:23Such a disgraceful personality.
20:25Ignore her.
20:26She'll come back when she's hungry.
20:28Louis stood to the side,
20:30looking,
20:31somewhat agitated.
20:33Amelia always liked Louis.
20:35Maybe she couldn't face it
20:36and ran off on her own.
20:38We failed to teach your sister properly.
20:41She's an embarrassment.
20:43Louis took out his phone
20:44and sent me a text message.
20:46Where are you?
20:48Can you stop making a scene?
20:51I'm helping Lucy.
20:52If you still do that,
20:54I will really not come back.
20:59The text message sent to me
21:01received no reply.
21:03Henry.
21:04Watched all this.
21:05Unusually silent.
21:10He needed to know the truth.
21:14Amelia is an adult.
21:16She'll be fine.
21:17Louis,
21:18today you're marrying me.
21:19You know I've always loved Amelia.
21:21To take care of you,
21:23I also agreed to marry you
21:24and stay with you for a while.
21:26Don't you care about Amelia's safety at all?
21:31Louis turned and left to find me,
21:34leaving behind A.
21:35Group of stunned guests
21:37and white family members.
21:39Lucy suddenly grabbed her head,
21:41screamed in terror,
21:43and clutched Rose's hand tightly.
21:48Fire!
21:49There's another fire!
21:52Save me!
21:53Mom, Dad, save me!
21:55Save me!
21:57Lucy!
21:58Rose rushed forward to protect her,
22:00but Lucy broke,
22:02free and ran to the edge
22:04of the second floor balcony.
22:07If Louis doesn't come back,
22:09I'll jump!
22:11I'll burn myself to death!
22:13Before the white family could react,
22:15Lucy jumped.
22:16The second floor balcony
22:18wasn't very high.
22:19Jumping
22:20wouldn't cause serious injury,
22:23just maybe some scraped skin.
22:30Outside the hospital emergency room,
22:32the doctor took off his mask
22:34and came out.
22:35Rest assured, everyone.
22:36Lucy is fine.
22:37She can go home
22:38after we treat her wound.
22:39She donated her liver before
22:41and has schizophrenia.
22:42We're worried
22:43there might be complications.
22:44Although she's not
22:45seriously hurt,
22:47we're concerned about
22:48aggravating her existing conditions.
22:50We did the additional tests
22:51you requested.
22:52Could there be a mistake?
22:53Miss Lucy has no scar
22:54from a liver donation surgery
22:55on her abdomen
22:56and there are no signs
22:57of liver regeneration.
22:58Also, regarding her mental state,
22:59it might have been a misdiagnosis
23:01at the previous hospital.
23:02Her mental health data
23:03are completely normal.
23:05Dad and Rose were stunned.
23:06Don't tell anyone yet.
23:08Rose nodded and looked at Lucy,
23:10who was being treated
23:11in the emergency room,
23:12her expression complicated.
23:13Just three hours earlier,
23:15Henry had returned
23:16to his office alone.
23:17As the eldest son
23:19of the white family,
23:19it was easy for Henry
23:21to investigate anything.
23:23The assistant had printed out
23:24the found materials
23:25and delivered them
23:26half an hour ago.
23:27Besides medical reports
23:29and records similar to mine,
23:30there were also
23:31two surveillance videos.
23:33One showed me signing
23:34the liver donation agreement
23:35and being wheeled
23:36into the operating room.
23:37The other showed me being beaten
23:38and tortured
23:39by other inmates in prison.
23:41Henry saw the footage
23:42of me donating my liver
23:43and being beaten.
23:45When he saw the knife
23:46cutting my face,
23:47he finally couldn't
23:48take it anymore.
23:52Henry, he pressed the intercom
23:53and called his assistant
23:55keep investigating.
23:56Keep investigating?
23:57Why would these people
23:58assault a member
23:59of the white family?
24:00Who gave them the nerve?
24:03After the assistant left,
24:05Henry slumped in his chair.
24:07I imagine his mind
24:08must have been filled
24:09with images of my missing liver,
24:10my disfigured face,
24:12the bruises on my body,
24:13and the scar on my stomach.
24:15After a long while,
24:16he opened the first page
24:17of that old diary.
24:19December 25th, 2008,
24:22Mom and Dad
24:23came to take me home,
24:24I really liked
24:24my brother and sister.
24:26But they don't seem
24:27to like me very much.
24:29Over two hours later,
24:31Henry saw the final words
24:33I had left for him.
24:34Henry, my brother.
24:36I never used the card
24:38you gave me.
24:38It's next to the diary.
24:40Maybe you forgot,
24:41but I am also your sister.
24:43But it's okay.
24:45I'm leaving.
24:46None of it matters anymore.
24:48The assistant brought
24:49new investigation materials.
24:51The materials showed
24:53that the mastermind
24:54behind Thebus against me
24:55and the withholding
24:56of my money was Lucy.
24:58Henry began to truly realize
25:00that the sister he had protected
25:02for years was fundamentally
25:04a vicious person.
25:05He needed to immediately
25:07clarify things with a family.
25:10The white family
25:11couldn't be made fools like this.
25:13As for Louis,
25:14he would have to wait.
25:16Knowing Louis' feelings for me,
25:18once he knew the whole truth,
25:20he would have Lucille reason.
25:22Just as Henry picked up the phone,
25:25Rose called.
25:26Henry, come back, quickly.
25:28Lucy seems to have been triggered again.
25:30She's crying and screaming
25:32and no one can count her down.
25:34I'll be right there.
25:35Henry hung up
25:36and rushed out of the office.
25:38No matter what,
25:40he had to ask Lucy face to face.
25:46The living room was a complete mess.
25:48Everything that could be smashed
25:50had been shattered by Lucy.
25:52Henry, you're back!
25:53Talk some sense into Lucy!
25:55Henry simply took out the diary.
25:57I think you should first see
25:58the diary Amelia left behind.
26:01Amelia?
26:02Rose looked towards the stairs
26:04leading to the attic
26:05and took the diary from Henry.
26:07Henry stared at Lucy,
26:08who was still smashing things.
26:10The person who donated their liver
26:13to save Llewyd back then,
26:14it wasn't you, was it?
26:17Lucy!
26:18How many things have you lied to us about?
26:21Why did you intercept
26:22your sister's living expenses?
26:24Why did you have people
26:25torture your sister in prison?
26:29Why did you lie about donating your liver?
26:32Henry, what are you talking about?
26:35Rose finished reading the diary
26:36and began to question Henry.
26:38What are these questions you're asking?
26:40We don't understand.
26:42Henry took out Amelia's medical report
26:44in the USB drive with the videos
26:46and handed them over.
26:48After reading the materials,
26:50Rose fainted on the spot.
26:52As for my dad,
26:53he just cursed.
26:55Animal!
26:56Lewis walked into the living room,
26:58followed by a bodyguard
26:59escorting a fierce-looking man.
27:01As Amelia's fiancé,
27:03I also have the right to know the truth.
27:05I learned that someone
27:06was torturing Amelia in prison.
27:08I've brought the man.
27:08What are you talking about?
27:10I think I have a right to know.
27:12Lucy saw the man behind Lewis
27:13and panicked.
27:14What truth?
27:15What are you all talking about?
27:17Are you still not going to
27:17tell us the truth?
27:18How many things have you framed
27:20Amelia for over the years?
27:22How many things have you made
27:23Amelia take the blame for?
27:25Do I have to list them one by one?
27:27Henry, don't you love me the most?
27:30Did you forget that I only have
27:32one biological sister?
27:33Lucy started screaming,
27:35turned,
27:36and tried to run to the balcony again,
27:38but this time,
27:39no one stopped her.
27:42Dad took out Lucy's medical report
27:44and slammed it on the table.
27:48Have you caused enough trouble?
27:50I just want to know the reason.
27:52Lucy stopped and looked at my dad.
27:54Daddy.
27:55Don't call me daddy.
27:56Answer me.
27:58You don't have schizophrenia, do you?
28:00You weren't the one who donated your liver
28:02to save someone.
28:03It was your sister, wasn't it?
28:04For over a decade,
28:05you've been framing your sister
28:07and ordering people to torture her,
28:09and haven't you?
28:09Lucy covered her ears
28:11and shook her head wildly.
28:12Lewis, standing by,
28:14asked Henry,
28:15Give me Amelia's medical report.
28:17Henry handed the medical report to Lewis.
28:20Lucy collapsed completely to the floor.
28:23Lewis flipped through the report,
28:24critical condition notices,
28:26CT scans,
28:27and some scattered pathology photos.
28:30Arms,
28:31lower abdomen,
28:32back,
28:33legs.
28:34Any exposed skin showed wounds
28:36of varying depths.
28:37Those were from the beatings
28:39and torture I endured in prison.
28:41He walked towards Lucy.
28:43Tell me,
28:43what exactly did you do?
28:45What did you do to Amelia?
28:47Lucy didn't answer.
28:49She looked at Rose.
28:50Mommy, it hurts so much.
28:52Rose turned her head away,
28:53avoiding Lucy's gaze.
28:55Dad pounded his chest.
28:58How could you be so cruel?
29:00Don't you realize this will make us
29:02live in regret and pain
29:03for the rest of our lives?
29:05Didn't you say you only loved me?
29:07Beast!
29:08Lucy suddenly burst into loud laughter.
29:11I wanted Amelia dead,
29:12that's all.
29:13Lucy!
29:14Lewis,
29:15good boy,
29:16I will give you an explanation.
29:18But before that,
29:19Amelia left some words for you.
29:21Dad handed the diary to Lewis.
29:24Lewis turned to the last page.
29:27Lewis,
29:27I can't wait for you anymore.
29:29I'm sorry.
29:31I can't forgive you.
29:33Just like you told me
29:34when you were 17,
29:35if the future you hurts me,
29:37don't forgive,
29:38because that won't be you,
29:39and the 17-year-old
29:41you wouldn't forgive either.
29:42I wish you and Lucy happiness.
29:45Goodbye.
29:46Lewis pressed the diary
29:47tightly to his chest,
29:49tears streaming down his face.
29:50Louis,
29:51I...
29:53You already have everything.
29:54Everyone dotes on you.
29:56Even after Amelia came back,
29:58everything still revolved around you.
30:00What more do you want?
30:01What about you?
30:03But you fell in love with her.
30:05After Amelia came back,
30:07what about you?
30:08Don't forget,
30:09why I was engaged to
30:09as always Amelia,
30:11I've always treated like a sister
30:12and love you.
30:14I love Amelia,
30:15but when have ever loved you less?
30:17Because you are Amelia's sister.
30:19I kitcher loved you even more.
30:23Loved me even more
30:24because you love her?
30:25And what did you do?
30:27You sent her to prison.
30:29You kissed me.
30:31You set off fireworks
30:33all over the city for me.
30:35And you say you love her?
30:37Dad stepped forward
30:38and slapped Lucy hard.
30:39Mom,
30:40Dad,
30:40and brother,
30:41what about you?
30:42Amelia isn't Dad?
30:43Yes.
30:44I intercepted her living expenses,
30:46framed her,
30:46and had people torture her in prison.
30:48How innocent are you?
30:50Didn't you also ignore it,
30:51condole it,
30:52and help me forge evidence
30:53to send her to prison?
30:54Isn't it better
30:55that she's missing now?
30:57Just treat me
30:58as your real daughter,
30:59your real sister,
31:00okay?
31:01Isn't that what you've always said?
31:03That I'm your only precious daughter?
31:06Isn't that what you wanted too?
31:08Rose rushed forward
31:09and also slapped Lucy hard.
31:10Shut up!
31:11Our only real daughter is Amelia.
31:13From now on,
31:14you are no longer a daughter
31:16of the White family.
31:18We owe Amelia,
31:19and we will pay.
31:20You owe Amelia,
31:22and you will pay too.
31:24Police cars arrived
31:25outside the White family.
31:27They held a press conference.
31:29The news of the White family's
31:31adopted daughter
31:31framing the biological daughter
31:33went viral.
31:34My parents were condemned
31:35by the entire internet
31:36for their poor judgment,
31:38foolishness,
31:39and abuse
31:40of their biological daughter.
31:43In the following days,
31:44Professor Lucas
31:45applied for an art program
31:47for me,
31:47and the name Dorothy
31:49gradually became known.
31:50At that time in Chicago,
31:52whenever Lewis
31:53closed his eyes,
31:54he could see me
31:55gaunt,
31:57sallow,
31:57and covered in scars.
31:59In his dreams,
32:00I only showed him
32:01indifference and hatred.
32:04I know the truth.
32:05I know everything now.
32:07I was wrong.
32:08He remembered that year
32:10when he was 17,
32:11standing with me
32:12under the plain tree.
32:16No can beer in Hunan's way
32:18would always stand by me.
32:20I love you.
32:23I will you for life.
32:25Lewis woke from his dream.
32:27It was still early morning
32:29when his phone rang.
32:31Miss Lucy has gone crazy in prison.
32:33We have the medical report this time.
32:36Henry also asked someone
32:37to look after her.
32:38After hanging up,
32:39Lewis thought back to his youth.
32:41He had truly wanted to protect me.
32:44So he pushed himself
32:45to become strong,
32:46stronger.
32:47He clearly couldn't bear
32:49for me to suffer even the
32:50slightest pain.
32:53Lewis smiled bitterly.
32:54He was willing for me
32:56never to forgive him.
32:57But he wanted to find me.
33:00He wanted to atone
33:01for his sins.
33:02He looked out the window.
33:04Tonight in Chicago,
33:06it was
33:07snowing.
33:11In the living room
33:12of the White family villa,
33:14Rose learned that
33:15her once most beloved
33:17adopted daughter
33:18had truly gone mad.
33:20She also knew
33:21it was her own son's doing.
33:23She didn't
33:24blame him
33:25because Lucy deserved it.
33:27She began to confess
33:28her guilt to others
33:30regarding me.
33:30That is my daughter,
33:32my own flesh and blood.
33:33Losing her back then
33:34was already my fault.
33:36She must hate me.
33:37So she left
33:38and doesn't want
33:39her mother anymore.
33:40When I gave birth to her,
33:42all I wanted
33:43was for her
33:43to be healthy
33:44and happy.
33:46Why did I treat
33:47her like that?
33:48Why did we all
33:49treat her like that?
33:52We don't deserve
33:53to be parents.
33:55Henry and I have used
33:56all of the White family's
33:57connections to find her.
33:59We've also informed
34:00Louis if they have
34:02any news
34:02they will tell us.
34:04We've already
34:05lost her once.
34:06She may never
34:07forgive us,
34:08but we need to atone.
34:10The next day,
34:11they went to the
34:12mental hospital
34:13to see Lucy.
34:14Seeing with their
34:15own eyes,
34:16Lucy strapped
34:17to the bed
34:18with restraints.
34:19An hour later,
34:20they obtained
34:21Lucy's confession.
34:22Recording.
34:23The recording was
34:25from when she first
34:25arrived at the
34:26police station,
34:28where Lucy admitted
34:29to all the crimes
34:30she had committed
34:31against Amelia
34:32over the years.
34:34They couldn't
34:34imagine how I
34:35had managed
34:36to endure
34:37all those years
34:38alone.
34:39Henry only used
34:40a fraction of the
34:41tactics Lucy had
34:42used against me.
34:43And Lucy went
34:45mad.
34:45What about me?
34:47What kept me
34:48going?
34:49Snowflakes fell.
34:50Louis reached out
34:51his hand and
34:52caught one.
34:53I was wrong.
34:55Where are you
34:56now?
35:03In Paris,
35:04Professor Lucas
35:05and his family
35:06let me live with
35:07them.
35:08To outsiders,
35:09they had gained
35:09an eldest daughter
35:10and Laura had
35:11gained an older
35:12sister.
35:13From my room's
35:14window,
35:14I could see
35:15the Seine River.
35:16The setting sun
35:17slanted down,
35:19gilding the Seine
35:20with a sacred,
35:21tranquil gold.
35:24Dorothy,
35:25they've been
35:26looking for you
35:27for seven years
35:29now.
35:31It's okay,
35:32Professor.
35:32They're looking
35:33for Amelia,
35:34not Dorothy.
35:35Dorothy doesn't
35:36know them.
35:37Let Dorothy
35:38just keep moving
35:39forward.
35:40Over the years,
35:41I completed
35:42all my studies.
35:43Along with
35:44earning my
35:44diploma,
35:45my works
35:46gained the
35:47qualification
35:47to be exhibited
35:48at the Louvre
35:49and I became
35:50an internationally
35:51renowned artist.
35:52The dismissive
35:54faces of the
35:54white family,
35:55who once
35:56declared I had
35:57no artistic
35:57talent and that
35:58missing art school
35:59was no loss,
36:00used to be my
36:01nightmare.
36:02But now it
36:03doesn't matter.
36:04The Lucas family
36:06treats me as
36:07their own.
36:07I am already
36:08their child.
36:09The love I once
36:10begged and pleaded
36:11for in vain now
36:12envelopes me.
36:13I was truly
36:14no longer an
36:15orphan.
36:16I also had a
36:17lovely little
36:18sister.
36:22On my
36:22birthday that
36:23year, I
36:24looked at
36:24myself in
36:25the mirror.
36:28With the
36:29help of
36:29Professor Lucas
36:30and his
36:31family, the
36:32scar on my
36:33face, though
36:34not completely
36:35removable, had
36:36faded to the
36:37point of being
36:37almost invisible
36:38unless you
36:39looked closely.
36:40But the
36:41scar on my
36:41belly, left
36:42from saving
36:43Louis, was
36:44still hideous.
36:47I had the
36:48scar on my
36:49stomach tattooed
36:50into an
36:50iris flower.
36:51Legend says
36:52the iris has
36:53healing powers
36:53that remind
36:54people of the
36:55power of love.
36:56Thank you to
36:56the Lucas couple
36:57and lovely
36:58Laura for
36:59inviting me to
36:59become part of
37:00their family.
37:01After many
37:02years, I had
37:03finally remembered
37:04the power of
37:04love.
37:05The next year,
37:06I returned to
37:08Chicago to hold
37:09an exhibition as
37:10an artist, and
37:11was also invited
37:12to give a
37:13lecture at a
37:13university.
37:15I met
37:15Louis.
37:16He was a
37:17partner in
37:18the event.
37:18The moment
37:19Louis saw
37:20me...
37:21Is it you?
37:22This is
37:23Louis, chairman
37:24of the white
37:24group.
37:25Do you know
37:26each other?
37:26I extended my
37:27hand to
37:28Louis.
37:29You have
37:30the wrong
37:30person.
37:32My name is
37:32Dorothy.
37:33Nice to
37:34meet you.
37:35Thank you for
37:36your support
37:36with this event.
37:37I could
37:38clearly see the
37:39pain and
37:39disappointment
37:40in his
37:40eyes.
37:41Having spent
37:42over a decade
37:42with him, I
37:43knew him better
37:44than I knew
37:45myself.
37:45After the
37:46business
37:46pleasantries, I
37:48was taken to
37:48a temporarily
37:49arranged villa.
37:53After the
37:54business
37:54pleasantries, I
37:56was taken to
37:56a temporarily
37:57arranged villa.
37:59After dinner,
38:00Louis came to
38:00knock that
38:01as I was
38:01about to
38:02close the
38:02door.
38:03He pressed
38:03his hand
38:04firmly against
38:04the frame.
38:05Sir, this
38:06isn't appropriate,
38:07is it?
38:08If you don't
38:09let go, I'll
38:10call the police.
38:10Or are you
38:12planning to
38:12turn things
38:13around and
38:13send me to
38:14prison again?
38:16I know it's
38:17you, Amelia.
38:19I was wrong.
38:20I was wrong
38:21about everything.
38:23I know
38:24everything now.
38:25I am Dorothy.
38:26Amelia is dead.
38:28Didn't you and
38:29the white family
38:30kill her together?
38:31I'm sorry.
38:32I don't expect
38:33you to forgive me.
38:34Just let me
38:35atone, okay?
38:38You don't
38:39need to say
38:39sorry.
38:40You already
38:41said it when
38:41you mistook
38:42me earlier.
38:44How will
38:45you atone?
38:46Will you
38:47give me back
38:47my liver
38:48or go to
38:49prison for
38:49ten years
38:50yourself?
38:52Okay.
38:53He pulled
38:53a knife from
38:54his chest
38:54and stabbed
38:55himself.
38:56In the
38:56stomach.
38:57Are you
38:58crazy?
38:59I took
38:59the knife
39:00and held
39:00him.
39:01Blood
39:01splattered
39:02on our
39:02faces.
39:03He had
39:03a long
39:04gash
39:04on his
39:05stomach.
39:06Suddenly,
39:06I remembered
39:07the cherry
39:08blossoms
39:08that year.
39:09We lay
39:10under the
39:10cherry tree,
39:12petals falling
39:12on our
39:13faces.
39:14Time seemed
39:14to overlap,
39:16except the
39:16petals had
39:17turned into
39:17Louis'
39:18blood.
39:19My parents
39:19and Henry,
39:20who had
39:20been waiting
39:21not far
39:21away,
39:22ran over.
39:23Darling,
39:24are you
39:24okay?
39:25Call an
39:26ambulance.
39:27Louis is
39:28injured.
39:29Mr.
39:30Louis might
39:30be under
39:30a lot of
39:31stress lately.
39:32This might
39:33make me
39:33reconsider the
39:34cooperation
39:34partner.
39:35I'm
39:36sorry.
39:37the ambulance
39:39took
39:39Louis away.
39:40Henry also
39:41went with the
39:42police to
39:42explain the
39:43situation,
39:44leaving me
39:44alone to
39:45face my
39:45parents,
39:46whom I
39:46hadn't
39:47seen for
39:47years.
39:48My parents
39:49suddenly knelt
39:50down to me.
40:01I quickly
40:07stepped aside.
40:08You can't
40:08do this.
40:09You
40:10are elders.
40:11We're
40:11sorry.
40:12We
40:12didn't
40:12think it
40:13through.
40:14We
40:14just want
40:14to
40:15apologize
40:15to
40:15our
40:15child

40:17parents.
40:18You

40:19all
40:19the
40:19shares
40:19of
40:20the

41:05regards

41:06your

41:07I
41:07walked
41:08into
41:08the
41:08villa
41:08and
41:09closed
41:09the
41:09door.
41:10The
41:10assistant
41:10told
41:11me.
41:11Louis
41:11was
41:12not
41:12seriously
41:12injured.
41:13Tomorrow
41:14was

41:16The

41:31When
41:31he

41:32he
41:32was

41:33a
41:33large
41:33bag
41:34of
41:34fruits
41:34and
41:34supplements.
41:38Amelia.
41:39I

41:40the
41:40new
41:40contact
41:40person

41:44brother,
41:44my

41:48He

41:49somewhat
41:50naive
