Short filmTranscript
00:01At a gathering with friends, my husband, a highly respected university professor, suddenly dropped to his knees before me.
00:07His voice trembled as he spoke the unthinkable.
00:10Sarah, Mia's heart is a perfect match with yours. She needs the transplant immediately.
00:14For a moment, I was struck completely dumb, yet somehow I wasn't surprised.
00:18But a person only has one heart.
00:20I'll contact the best-
00:21Happy April Fool's, Professor!
00:22Your heart isn't actually a match, Sarah. I was just messing around.
00:25I can't believe you actually went and begged your wife, Professor!
00:27The tense atmosphere in the room instantly evaporated into boisterous laughter.
00:32Our friends began to tease him.
00:34That was a cruel joke, Mia. You put Arthur in an impossible position.
00:36If Mia told me we were a match, I bet Arthur would have dragged me onto the operating table himself.
00:40Amidst the laughter, I was the only one sitting dead silent on the sofa.
00:44I rested a hand over my rounded belly, my heart slowly turning to ash.
00:48Arthur had never once been angry with Mia.
00:51To him, this frail, sickly student of his was a fragile porcelain doll that needed constant protection.
00:56But this time, he stood up, his face uncharacteristically dark.
01:00The crowd belatedly quieted down.
01:02After a suffocating silence, someone whispered to Mia.
01:05Joke too far. You know how protected the professor is for Sarah.
01:08Series first started at Columbia University.
01:09A colleague made an off-color joke about Sarah, and Arthur put him in the hospital.
01:13Hearing this, Mia froze.
01:14Tears instantly welled up in her doe-like eyes.
01:17She reached out, gingerly tugging at the hem of Arthur's shirt.
01:20I'm so sorry, Professor. It's April Fool's. I just wanted to play a little prank.
01:24When Arthur remained silent, she turned her pitiful gaze to me, sniffing delicately.
01:29Sarah, I didn't mean any harm. If you're angry, you can yell at me. I'll take it.
01:34Oh, come on. She's just a straightforward girl. She spoke without thinking.
01:38Yeah, Arthur. She's been your star student for three years.
01:41You even dedicated your recent thesis to her.
01:43You can't let a silly April Fool's joke ruin that.
01:46Arthur's expression finally softened.
01:48Don't ever make a joke like that again.
01:50Mia nodded eagerly.
01:54Then he turned to me, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.
01:59I'm sorry, Sarah. I should have verified it before coming to you for a favor.
02:04A favor.
02:04He casually reduced demanding my heart and my unborn child's life to a simple favor.
02:10But this wasn't the first time.
02:11Whenever it came to Mia, the usually rational, fiercely logical Professor Arthur Davies
02:16became hyper-emotional and inexplicably blurred the lines.
02:20On Christmas Eve, he had driven 300 miles through a blizzard to Boston
02:24just because she texted him that her stomach hurt.
02:28When I questioned him, he simply sighed.
02:31Her health is fragile, Sarah.
02:32I was worried something terrible had happened.
02:34Yet when I, his wife, sat alone in our home, five months pregnant, waiting up for him all
02:39night in pain, he wasn't worried.
02:41When my violent fetal movements left me in agonizing, breathless pain, he wasn't worried.
02:46Through my morning sickness, my contractions, my edema, and my hair loss, he wasn't worried.
02:51With me, he was always as cold and pragmatic as a machine.
02:53Sarah, creating a life is naturally difficult.
02:56You just have to endure it until the baby is born.
02:58When the hormones made me irritable or depressed, he dismissed it as female hysteria, threw out
03:03a few half-hearted platitudes, and locked himself in his study.
03:06Every single time, I had to swallow my despair to avoid disturbing his work.
03:11Yet, the crowning achievement of his career, a research paper that took him five grueling years
03:16to complete, featured Mia's name on the very first line of the acknowledgements.
03:20An undergraduate student who had absolutely no professional contribution to the work.
03:25By the time I found out, it was already making headlines.
03:27In the interview video, Arthur looked into the camera with a soft, affectionate smile.
03:31In my five years of teaching, Mia might not be the most gifted student I've ever taught,
03:34but she is unequivocally the most resilient.
03:36I thank her for walking into my life.
03:38She gave me the courage to continue my research.
03:40Last week, I accidentally dropped my favorite vase.
03:43It shattered into a dozen pieces.
03:45When Arthur saw it, he didn't even blink.
03:47He just calmly asked the housekeeper to sweep it up.
03:49But that vase was irreplaceable.
03:52It was one we had sculpted and fired together in Italy during the most passionate year of our marriage.
03:58He had once held it up, looking deeply into my eyes,
04:02and solemnly declared it would be our family heirloom.
04:06Let me just, let me glue it back together.
04:09I had whispered, squatting on the floor with trembling hands,
04:12trying to gather the fragmented pieces of our memories.
04:15He frowned and pulled me up by my arm.
04:17It's just a cheap vase, Sarah.
04:19Let it go.
04:20My eyes welled with tears, but his gaze simply dropped to my stomach.
04:24Is the baby making you act out again?
04:25I tried to comfort myself.
04:27He's a rational man.
04:28I thought it's normal for him not to care about sentimental trinkets.
04:31But that night when I brought a plate of fruit into his study,
04:34my eyes fell upon a locked transparent display case on his desk.
04:38Inside sat a cheap $20 fountain pen from a local stationery store, a gift from Mia.
04:44At that moment, it felt as though a bucket of ice water had been poured directly over my head.
04:48We had the worst fight of our marriage.
04:50I completely lost it.
04:52I grabbed a paperweight, smashed the glass case,
04:56and threw the cheap pen into the trash can.
04:58But the very next second, Arthur scrambled to fish it out,
05:02cradling it in his hands as if it were a priceless treasure.
05:05When he finally looked at me, his eyes were brimming with disgust and impatience.
05:09Go look in the mirror, Sarah.
05:11Look at yourself.
05:11You look like a madwoman.
05:13You broke the damn vast yourself today,
05:15so what exactly are you blaming me for now?
05:17Swear on the Bible that you hadn't developed feelings for Mia.
05:21If you had, they would both run in hell.
05:24Arthur, a staunch man of science, actually hesitated.
05:27It took him a long time to finally speak.
05:29Yes, I am tempted by her.
05:32The word struck me like a physical blow.
05:34But we haven't crossed the line, and we never will.
05:36So you can drop the wronged wife act.
05:38Tears streamed down my face.
05:40He sighed, stepping forward to gently smooth down my messy hair.
05:44Sarah, we've been together for 11 years.
05:46There's no freshness left.
05:47To be brutally honest, kissing you feels like my upper lip tug was on my lower lip.
05:51Sometimes I even regret that we eloped to Vegas the second we turned 18.
05:54Back then, I didn't know that 10 years later I would fall for someone else.
05:57He was the one who bought out the city's fireworks just to make me smile when we were young.
06:01Now he was the one looking down on me casually discussing his change of heart.
06:05Mia has a lively personality.
06:07She's not dull and suffocating like you.
06:08She likes to goof off.
06:09She likes watching cheesy romance movies.
06:11She loves feeding stray cats by the road.
06:12You used to do those mundane things too, but when she does them, I just find her incredibly
06:15adhering.
06:16I can't control my heart flutter.
06:17Finally, he lit a cigarette.
06:18His tone was gentle yet unimaginably cruel.
06:21As long as you want it, the position of Mrs. Davis will always be yours.
06:25But you have to accept the reality.
06:27She is the only one in my heart now.
06:28After that night, I spiraled into an endless cycle of breakdowns and internal torment.
06:34I cried until my eyes were swollen shut.
06:37I tried to detach myself emotionally.
06:39I tried pretending I didn't care when he came home late, when he missed my prenatal checkups,
06:43when he took Mia to Hawaii for a research trip.
06:45I was only lying to myself.
06:47And today, when he knelt in front of all our friends begging me to carve out my heart for
06:52Mia and abandon our six-month-old baby, I finally realized something.
06:56This marriage was completely, utterly meaningless.
07:01Sarah, I know I was wrong.
07:04Please forgive me.
07:06Her voice carrying much more confidence than before.
07:09Someone chimed in to help her.
07:11Sarah, Mia didn't mean any harm.
07:13She never takes things seriously.
07:14Remember that time she got drunk and babbled about wanting to marry the professor?
07:17I didn't mean it like that.
07:18I just meant she speaks without a filter.
07:20Everyone knows you and Arthur have an unbreakable bond.
07:21There's no room for anyone else.
07:22I offered a quiet, hollow smile and looked directly at Mia.
07:26It's fine.
07:27I don't blame you.
07:30The crowd let out a collective sigh of relief.
07:32Then I delivered the final blow.
07:34Arthur and I are getting a divorce soon anyway.
07:36I wish you get everything you've ever wanted, Mia.
07:39Sarah!
07:40Sarah, stop talking nonsense in front of everyone.
07:43I found it laughable.
07:45You can kneel in front of a room full of people and beg me to give my heart to another
07:48woman,
07:49but I can't even mention divorce?
07:50It was an April Fool's joke.
07:52What is the big deal?
07:53Mia has already apologized and I've reprimanded her.
07:55If you keep making a scene, you're only going to embarrass yourself.
07:57Calm down, Sarah.
07:59You're pregnant.
07:59Don't let a little misunderstanding ruin your marriage.
08:01Yeah, Arthur clearly cares about you.
08:03We all saw it.
08:03He normally never yells at Mia.
08:05Hearing this, I slowly turned my gaze to Arthur.
08:07My voice was eerily calm.
08:09You weren't angry just now because she disrespected me.
08:11You were angry because she joked about being a match.
08:13When you heard the truth, you were just disappointed.
08:15Arthur stiffened.
08:16A moment later, profound irritation flashed across his face.
08:19For God's sake, I'm begging you.
08:20Can we not do this here?
08:21If you don't care about your dignity, Mia still cares about hers.
08:23A tidal wave of sheer exhaustion washed over me.
08:26I closed my eyes.
08:28Fine.
08:29I'll see you at the lawyer's office on Monday.
08:31I stood up to leave.
08:33Sarah, please don't blame the professor.
08:35He just wants me to have a healthy body.
08:37It's my fault.
08:38I looked down coldly at the girl crying crocodile tears.
08:41You went to all this trouble with this prank just to prove your place in his heart.
08:44You must be thrilled right now.
08:45Her face turned deathly pale as if she had been slapped.
08:48I looked away and walked past her.
08:50Sarah, don't forget.
08:51Your mother is still staying at my family's private hospital.
08:54My footsteps halted.
08:56Never in my wildest nightmares did I think the man I loved would use my sick mother as leverage to
09:01protect his mistress.
09:02After a long, agonizing silence, I forced a smile and helped Mia up from the floor.
09:11Everything I just said was a joke, too.
09:14I don't blame you.
09:15Mia choked back a sob.
09:16That's good.
09:17I was so scared I caused trouble for the professor.
09:20The farce finally ended.
09:25Arthur offered to drive me home.
09:27On the way, he uncharacteristically tried to explain himself.
09:30I only said that to scare you.
09:31I would never do anything to your mother.
09:33You suffered a grievance today.
09:35As an apology, I'll go with you to your prenatal checkmate tomorrow.
09:37Sarah, we've been together for over a decade.
09:39It's not like I don't have feelings for you.
09:40I just wish you could learn to get along with Mia.
09:42I leaned against the cold car window, feeling absolutely nothing.
09:46I was serious about what I said today.
09:49Let's get a divorce, Arthur.
09:50From now on, whatever happens between you and her is none of my business.
09:54The car was silent for two seconds.
09:56Then he let out a low chuckle.
09:59This is the seventh time you've brought up divorce since you got pregnant.
10:02Next time you throw a tantrum, try a new trick.
10:05Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang frantically.
10:09He answered it and then slammed on the brakes.
10:16Get out, Mia's having an episode.
10:19I have to go back to her.
10:20I looked out the window at the torrential downpour.
10:23I paused for a second, then opened the door and stepped out into the storm.
10:27His rushed voice chased after me.
10:30Find somewhere to take cover.
10:32I'll come back and pick you up after I drop her at the hospital.
10:35Late at night in a thunderstorm, it was impossible to hail a cab.
10:38I stood shivering beneath the awning of a convenience store.
10:41But the person who eventually arrived wasn't Arthur.
10:43It was Mia holding an umbrella.
10:47She smiled sweetly at me, looking perfectly healthy.
10:50See, Sarah?
10:52With just one word from me, he will abandon you anytime, anywhere.
10:57I didn't want to engage with her.
10:58I turned to walk away.
11:00But she lunged forward, grabbed my arm in a vice grip.
11:06During the struggle, she shoved me hard.
11:09My foot slipped on the wet pavement and I tumbled violently down the concrete steps.
11:13Blinding agony ripped through my abdomen.
11:15Hot blood mixed with the freezing rain dying.
11:18My dress a horrific crimson.
11:21Mia panicked for a split second, then sneered.
11:26Dropped the umbrella and ran back to the car waiting on the street.
11:32I woke up the next morning in a sterile hospital room.
11:40The doctor stood beside my bed, looking grimly at my chart.
11:43Mrs. Davis, I am so sorry.
11:45You suffered severe trauma.
11:46The baby couldn't be saved.
11:48For your own safety, we must perform an emergency DC procedure immediately.
11:52If we don't, your life is in danger.
11:54Furthermore, due to the damage, you will not be able to conceive again.
11:57If you understand, please sign here.
11:58I was born with a condition that made it incredibly difficult for me to get pregnant.
12:02When I was 23, I had a child.
12:05Back then, Arthur was just making a name for himself in the academic world.
12:08During his busiest period, I traveled with him to three different countries in a single week,
12:13managing his schedule until I collapsed from sheer exhaustion.
12:16I woke up in the hospital only to find out I had been a month pregnant,
12:19and the overwork had caused a miscarriage.
12:22That was the first time I ever saw Arthur cry.
12:25He held me tightly, sobbing apologies into my hair.
12:29I'm so sorry, Sarah.
12:30It's all my fault.
12:31I didn't take good care of you.
12:33We'll have another one.
12:34I promise you we will.
12:35It took six years.
12:36Six years of praying in churches and agonizing hospital visits
12:40before we finally conceived this baby.
12:42And now he wouldn't even get the chance to be born.
12:44In complete silence, I signed the consent forms.
12:47I didn't make a single call to Arthur.
12:49After the surgery, my body felt hollowed out.
12:52A nurse helped me back to the ward.
12:54As I walked down the hall, I bumped straight into Mia.
12:58She was wearing a fresh set of clothes, her cheeks rosy.
13:02She looked nothing like the wicked, vicious girl in the rain last night.
13:07Sarah, are you at the hospital alone?
13:10Why didn't the professor come with you?
13:12Then her lips curled into a malicious smirk, and she lowered her voice.
13:17Oh, I almost forgot.
13:18He's at the pharmacy getting me medicine for my upset stomach.
13:21You bled so much last night, you must have been terrified, right?
13:23But even if you told him what happened, he would just say it was an accident on my part.
13:28When I didn't react, she suddenly raised her voice, feigning remorse.
13:32I'm so sorry, Sarah.
13:34Did I make you mad again?
13:36Arthur, who had just rushed over with a pharmacy bag, heard her.
13:40He immediately stepped in front of her, shielding her with his body, his brow deeply furrowed.
13:44Sarah, can't you just leave Mia alone?
13:47Her body's very weak right now.
13:52Ari stared at him with dead eyes, without a single word.
13:56I bypassed them and continued walking.
13:58Arthur watched my retreating back, his heart inexplicably skipping a beat.
14:03He stopped my nurse.
14:05Where is she going?
14:07Sir, I cannot disclose a patient's private medical information.
14:11The nurse replied politely.
14:12He wanted to press further, but Mia tugged his sleeve.
14:14Where else would she be going?
14:16A prenatal checkup, obviously.
14:18Come on, Professor.
14:19You promised to take me to the movies today.
14:21Let's go.
14:22During my two days of hospitalization, I received 18 missed calls from Arthur.
14:27His texts grew increasingly irritated.
14:32I sent one single reply.
14:34Don't forget, tomorrow morning at the lawyer's office.
14:37He replied instantly.
14:38Are you seriously still playing this game?
14:40Fine.
14:40Just don't back out tomorrow and use some fake illness as an excuse.
14:44The next morning at nine, I stood waiting outside the lawyer's office.
14:52Half an hour later, Arthur finally arrived.
14:55He stepped out of his car, slowly, arrogantly adjusting his suit.
14:58But the moment his eyes landed on me, he froze.
15:01His gaze dropped, locking onto my completely flat stomach.
15:06Sarah, where is the baby?
15:08I followed his gaze, looking down at myself and gave a serene smile.
15:12The day before yesterday, while you were abandoning me in the freezing rain to go to Mia,
15:19I lost this child.
15:22His pupils dilated wildly.
15:24All the color drained from his face in an instant.
15:26What are you saying?
15:27Our baby is gone?
15:28He was in your womb for six months.
15:30He was already formed.
15:31What happened?
15:32Why didn't you tell me?
15:33I had no energy left to entertain his belated grief.
15:36Let's just sign the papers.
15:37I turned and walked toward the entrance.
15:40Sarah!
15:40He lunged forward, grabbing my wrist in a vice grip.
15:43Sarah!
15:45What are you hiding from me?
15:47He was my child, too!
15:49Looking at his pale, horrified face, I actually let out a laugh.
15:53Yes, he was your child.
15:55But where were you?
15:56You never accompanied me to a single checkup.
15:58When I had my first ultrasound, you weren't there.
16:00When I had the genetic scranning, you weren't there?
16:02When I was lying in a pool of my own blood in the pouring rain, crying for help,
16:06you still weren't there.
16:09How dare you call him your child?
16:12His breath hitched.
16:13His voice trembled violently.
16:15His eyes wide with disbelief.
16:17I went to get Mia that night.
16:19I was so busy with work.
16:23I shook my head.
16:24No, you weren't busy.
16:25You had time to take Mia to the movies, to get her nails done, to take her shopping.
16:30You had time to bring her to academic galas to expand her network.
16:33You just didn't have time for me.
16:36Or for your child.
16:38He was rendered utterly speechless.
16:41He opened his mouth, but no sound came out after an eternity.
16:45He finally forced a raspy whisper from his throat.
16:49But you still, you shouldn't have gone through that alone.
16:51You didn't even let me see him one last time.
16:53I closed my eyes, drowning in exhaustion.
16:58Arthur, don't forget.
17:00You were the first one to give up on him.
17:03When I was three months from my due date, you knelt in front of me and begged me to kill
17:06him.
17:07God simply granted your wish.
17:09The grip on my wrist instantly went slack.
17:14When I opened my eyes, the rims of his eyes were bloodshot.
17:18That was because of a joke.
17:19I didn't mean it.
17:21I was looking forward to this baby, too.
17:23I just bought a bunch of baby clothes yesterday.
17:26I hired a designer for the nursery.
17:28I've been reading the parents' books.
17:30He rasped, desperate to prove himself.
17:32Just last week, I would have given anything to hear those words.
17:36To know he cared.
17:37But right now, my heart felt absolutely nothing.
17:40It's too late.
17:43The baby is gone.
17:46He fell dead silent.
17:48It took a long time before he choked out.
17:51It's okay.
17:52We can always have...
17:54We have no future.
17:55I cut him off.
17:56It was spring in New York, but the wind still bit into my skin.
18:00He jolted as if waking from a nightmare, his expression slowly morphing back into a forced, desperate calm.
18:08Right.
18:09We're here to sign the divorce papers.
18:17The process was quicker than I imagined.
18:19The moment I stepped out of the law firm, a massive, literal weight lifted from my shoulders.
18:25The agonizing heartbreak I had once envisioned didn't happen.
18:29We ended our marriage as casually as if we were picking up groceries.
18:33I got into his car to go back to the house one last time to pack my things.
18:38The ride was suffocatingly silent.
18:40The only sound was the stereo softly playing an old love song from a decade ago.
18:45It was the CD I had gifted him for his birthday the year we started dating.
18:49As soon as I walked through the door, I saw a pair of fluffy bunny slippers that didn't belong to
18:54me sitting in the entryway.
18:55Mia's lease expired. She's just staying in the guest room for a few days.
18:58Arthur instinctively explained.
19:00I had already looked away, but he kept explaining almost nervously.
19:05She doesn't get along with her roommates, so she couldn't go back to the dorms.
19:08I walked into the walk-in closet. I had only been gone for two days,
19:12but my clothes had been shoved into a dusty corner.
19:15Racks of pink dresses and skirts now dominated my space.
19:19Arthur frowned when he saw it.
19:20She brought a bit too much stuff.
19:23Please don't be mad.
19:25I didn't say a word.
19:26I just systematically folded my clothes and placed them into my suitcase.
19:31He stood in the doorway watching me in silence.
19:33Leaving the closet, I walked into the master bedroom.
19:36It looked exactly as I had left it.
19:38I meticulously gathered the last of my belongings.
19:41As I was about to walk out,
19:42You forgot this.
19:43Arthur suddenly held out a small velvet box.
19:45Inside was a silver cross necklace.
19:47After my first miscarriage, he had driven to a remote monastery and begged a priest to bless it for me.
19:52When I found out, I had laughed through my tears.
19:55I had teased,
19:56I thought you didn't believe in God.
19:58I don't.
19:59He had smiled, gently stroking my hair.
20:03But you do.
20:04From that day on, I never took it off.
20:07Looking at it now, I offered a faint smile.
20:09I don't want it anymore.
20:10Throw it away or keep it.
20:12It's up to you.
20:13His hand hovered frozen in the air for a second before he slowly, awkwardly withdrew it.
20:18I ignored him, dragging my suitcases into the living room.
20:22We had moved into this house when we were 24.
20:26Five years of memories were embedded in these walls.
20:29By the time I finished packing, the sun was setting.
20:33Do you...
20:33He asked softly.
20:34Want to get dinner together?
20:35I was slightly taken aback by the audacity, but politely declined.
20:39No, thank you.
20:40He pressed.
20:41Where are you going?
20:41Let me drive you.
20:43I don't need you to.
20:44I called a cab.
20:45His lips parted, but he swallowed whatever he was going to say.
20:48He lowered his head and silently wheeled my two suitcases to the front door.
20:54That was when Mia walked in.
20:56Seeing me, she beamed.
20:58Sarah!
20:58You finally came home!
21:00Arthur felt a sudden spike of anxiety.
21:02Go back to your room, Mia!
21:05Why?
21:06Professor, didn't you say yesterday that Sarah is pregnant and will definitely come crawling back?
21:10She blinked innocently.
21:12You told me to use the opportunity to bond with her.
21:15As the words left her mouth, she suddenly realized something.
21:18Her eyes dropped to my flat stomach.
21:20After a brief flash of panic, the tears began to fall on cue.
21:24She looked at Arthur with big, pitiful eyes.
21:26I'm so sorry, Professor.
21:28I didn't know Sarah hated me so much that she'd go this far.
21:32It's all my fault!
21:33I'll leave right now!
21:34I'll never appear in front of you two again!
21:36She sobbed so violently that her whole body shook, and within a minute, she began gasping for air, clutching her
21:41chest.
21:43Arthur's resolve crumbled.
21:44He expertly fetched her pills and a glass of water, coaxing her to swallow them before gently patting her back.
21:50It's not your fault.
21:51Don't blame yourself.
21:52He murmured to her.
21:54Before I walked out the door, I glanced back one last time.
21:57Mia was leaning into Arthur's chest.
21:59From an angle he couldn't see, she looked right at me and smirked.
22:03I withdrew my gaze, completely dead inside, and walked out.
22:09The door shut.
22:10Arthur didn't look up.
22:11He just mechanically continued patting Mia's back.
22:14Professor, I'm so sorry.
22:17I really didn't expect Sarah to go as far as to kill the baby.
22:22How is the apartment hunting going?
22:24He interrupted her, his voice flat.
22:25I'm looking.
22:26I'll move out as soon as I can.
22:28She froze, tears pooling in her eyes.
22:30He nodded and finally pulled his hand away from her.
22:33Get some rest.
22:34I'm going for a walk.
22:36Mia grabbed his sleeve.
22:38Can I come with you?
22:41Please?
22:44Arthur rarely refused her requests.
22:46But this time, he shook his head without a second of hesitation.
22:49He couldn't explain what he was feeling.
22:52His chest felt incredibly tight, and a suffocating need to flee the house had overwhelmed him.
22:57The truth was, when he went to the lawyer's office today, he had fully intended to bring
23:02Sarah home.
23:03He had specifically worn the dark charcoal suit she loved most and spent the morning grooming
23:07himself.
23:08Like he told her, 11 years of marriage wasn't nothing.
23:11He had feelings for her, and he naturally assumed she still loved him too, especially
23:16since she was carrying his child.
23:18He knew exactly how desperately she wanted to be a mother.
23:21Because of that, he was willing to give her an out, a stepping stone to come back to him.
23:26But he never imagined that the child would be gone, and that he had been completely kept
23:31in the dark.
23:31Panic had set in.
23:32He hated himself for leaving her in the rain that night, so he interrogated her, demanding
23:37to know why she hadn't told him.
23:38But her answers all pointed to one terrifying conclusion.
23:42She was completely, utterly done with him.
23:44But how could that be?
23:45He thought frantically.
23:46She loved me so much.
23:48Arthur wandered aimlessly down the neighborhood streets they used to stroll together, torturing
23:52himself with that question.
23:54An old, retired professor from the university happened to walk past.
23:59Arthur?
24:00Where's Sarah?
24:01You two used to take a walk together every single evening.
24:04An old, retired professor from the university happened to walk past.
24:08Arthur's throat went dry.
24:10Sarah's sick.
24:11She's resting at home.
24:13The old man nodded, chuckling as he patted Arthur's shoulder.
24:16I have to say, I've never seen a couple more in love than you two.
24:21Do you remember your first year at Columbia?
24:24You brought Sarah into the lab to help out.
24:26That arrogant prick, Jason, made a nasty joke that she only got into the university by sleeping
24:30with you.
24:31You beat him black and blue.
24:32When the administration was threatening to expel you, Sarah went and begged Jason for
24:37mercy.
24:37She secured the settlement.
24:39Arthur stopped dead in his tracks.
24:42Sarah begged Jason?
24:44You didn't know?
24:46The old man looked surprised.
24:50The poor girl was so terrified the expulsion would ruin your academic career.
24:54She practically got extorted.
24:56He forced her to pay $5,000.
24:58I heard she had to pawn the vintage diamond grandmother left her just to get the cash.
25:04The old professor waved goodbye and walked away, leaving Arthur standing frozen on the sidewalk
25:09for a very, very long time.
25:12He only knew Jason had mysteriously agreed to drop the charges.
25:16He never knew Sarah had swallowed her pride and begged the man who insulted her.
25:21No wonder the heirloom necklace she never took off had suddenly vanished.
25:25No wonder she kept smiling and telling him not to worry those few days.
25:30Arthur closed his eyes.
25:31A single tear slipped down his cheek.
25:34As dusk settled, he sat on a park bench, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.
25:38He rarely smoked because Sarah hated the smell.
25:41He only ever smoked when he was at his absolute breaking point.
25:45His phone buzzed.
25:46It was Mia, her voice trembling and pitiful.
25:50Professor, the doctor said my condition has worsened.
25:53What if I don't survive long enough to get a heart?
25:56I'm so scared.
25:58I'm so scared.
25:58I'm so scared.
