Short filmTranscript
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!
00:24Of 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.
00:47Before boarding the island, he promised me...
00:50Just 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. When I was
01:01released, the guard handed me a shabby package.
01:04I hope you find a new life. Move forward. Don't look back.
01:08I 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. The window rolled down, and it was my fiancé.
01:21You've suffered these ten years. I promise you. Let's get married.
01:24I didn't look at him much. I just got straight into the car. From the rearview mirror, I saw myself
01:30now.
01:31Gaunt 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. You 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 are at the hospital, and I have to go, too.
02:01Drop 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.
02:18We'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.
02:29Twenty-six 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.
03:41I 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.
03:55If anything happens to Lucy, I'll put Amelia back in jail for life.
04:02After all, Amelia is our child.
04:04Her sentence is over.
04:06If she lives out there and gets photographed again, it will trigger Lucy.
04:08Then 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.
04:16Even though I had no expectations left for them, hearing mom say stay out of sight still made me sad.
04:23In 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 be his assistant and
04:51continue 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.
05:08Professor, is there still a chance for me to go to Paris now?
05:12My child, God 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.
05:26One 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 fiancé were all around her.
06:06Narrator Henry brought out a cake, and they started celebrating her.
06:10Happy birthday, Lucy.
06:11This 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 box.
06:30My 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 one.
06:56After all, you're her sister.
06:57Thump she blame you.
06:58Come on, let's celebrate Lucy's birthday.
07:00Looking at the smug Lucy, I really didn't know what to say.
07:04No upbringing, that's what it is.
07:06Even after all these years still so un-oathed, on your sister's birthday, you can't even say a word.
07:11They forgot, today is also my birthday.
07:14They adopted Lucy back then because 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?
07:32I want your fiancé Lewin.
07:34You give him to me, please?
07:40Lucy's dirty thoughts were spoken, but no one found it wrong.
07:44They were all waiting for my answer.
07:46Sister, 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, I no longer needed to feel sad.
08:18I walked towards the door.
08:20I 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.
08:39One more month.
08:41In one month, I'll see Professor Lucas again.
08:45In one month, I can be reborn.
08:47I can wait.
08:48And I don't want any variables.
08:51After leaving the white family, I took the subway to a street near the university.
08:56Without a degree and with a criminal record,
08:58I found a temporary job at a fried chicken shaffir.
09:01Although the work environment was greasy and 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.
09:22You're just an ungrateful dog.
09:25From then on, I never asked them for money again.
09:29Over the years, I worked and studied.
09:32When I was underage, I moved from factory to factory,
09:36sometimes no Tevin getting paid.
09:38As long as I could eat, I didn't really care about the pay, just survival.
09:47Once, Lewis was my only light.
09:49He protected me, rescued me from bullies, and took me to eat.
09:54The way he looked at me was something I had never seen elsewhere.
09:58I depended on him, trusted him unconditionally.
10:05So much so that 11 years ago, when 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, made 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, I continued my routine,
10:37until I saw the news of Lucy and Lewis's engagement on TV.
10:40Lewis and I were betrothed before birth.
10:42Later, when I got lost,
10:44Lewis helped publish newspaper notices to find me.
10:47When I was found, Lewis came again to discuss the marriage,
10:50the love Lewis spoke of over the years.
10:52I know I shouldn't believe it anymore.
10:57That night, when I returned to the white family,
11:00I saw the whole family sitting neatly in the living room.
11:02You're back.
11:03Come, let'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 Lewis 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 Lewis.
11:40You agreed?
11:41Lewis looked at me with some evasion in his eyes.
11:46It's the only way to help Lucy get better.
11:50You understand, don't you?
11:52You decide.
11:52Why bother asking me?
11:54I was about to go back to my makeshift 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, with your criminal record,
12:05how could you ever be worthy of Lewis?
12:06Lewis 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, then we can get married, okay?
12:14After all, she 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, yet 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 Lewis's eyes told me his answer.
12:43I returned to my attic.
12:47It didn't matter.
12:49In three days, Professor Lucas will come for me.
12:53I would always be Professor Lucas's proudest child.
13:06The next day, Henry came to my fried chicken stall and gave me a card.
13:10The pin is Lucy's birthday, which 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.
13:18Also, the family hasn't mistreated you over the years.
13:21We've given you your monthly balance on time.
13:23You 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, would 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 Lewis and Lucy's wedding,
13:41also thieving off my departure for Paris,
13:43former 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?
13:54Weren'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, for old times' sake?
14:05I didn't argue.
14:06I didn't want to cause troubleing to ruin my plan to leave.
14:10I just prayed that Louis wouldn't humiliate me further.
14:13At that moment,
14:14Lucy was clutching Louis' sleeve tightly.
14:17I don't want to.
14:19Let the soon-to-be-weds kiss instead.
14:23Across the crowd,
14:25Louis' gaze fell on me.
14:27I show wed no expression and turn to leave.
14:30Amidst the cheers and shouts,
14:31I knew they kissed.
14:33That 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, on Louis' birthday,
14:51Lucy painted his portrait and even won an international award.
14:55Oh, you didn't know?
14:56Lucy also donated her liver to Louis.
15:02Back then, when 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' 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.
15:31Amelia, I love you.
15:33The 17-year-old Louis,
15:35the one who saved will protect me,
15:37was gone.
15:37He had become something of end more repulsive
15:39than 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, fireworks bloomed over Chicago.
15:49Louis set them off for Lucy.
15:50I received a text from Louis.
15:54I ignored the message.
15:56Tomorrow, everything would end.
15:59I went back to the attic and changed
16:00into my most decent set of clothes,
16:02my high school uniform.
16:03I didn't want to appear too shabby
16:06in front of Professor Lucas.
16:08I sat at the table 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.
16:18They gave me this diary,
16:20and I will write in it every day.
16:22January 3, 2009.
16:24The house didn't have a new room ready.
16:25When my sister came home from school,
16:27she had nowhere tossed it.
16:28Mom 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 the big room.
16:36March 5, 2010.
16:38Tuition is due,
16:39but 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,
16:47the 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,
17:05but I just don't understand.
17:07If 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 gavened.
17:24It'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.
17:38Just 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.
17:53The 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.
18:15Rose,
18:15dressed in a custom-made gown,
18:17was adjusting Lucy's jewelry.
18:19Henry looked around,
18:20but didn't see me.
18:21Mom,
18:21Dad,
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,
18:30go 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?
18:41Why 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 and stiflingly hot in summer.
19:24The furnishings were very simple.
19:26A single iron bed frame that 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.
19:38These were all my worldly possessions.
19:40Henry,
19:41full of shock,
19:42walked over to my desk.
19:44He saw the diary and 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 when I entered prison?
19:54Didn't Lucy save Louis?
19:56Henry gathered all the materials.
20:00quickly walked downstairs
20:05and handed them to his assistant waiting outside.
20:09Investigate these materials thoroughly.
20:11At 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.
20:22Such 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 and ran off on her own.
20:38We failed to teach your sister properly.
20:41She's an embarrassment.
20:43Louis took out his phone and sent me a text message.
20:46Where are you?
20:48Can you stop?
20:49Making 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 received no reply.
21:03Henry watched all this,
21:06unusually silent.
21:10He needed to know the truth.
21:14Amelia is an adult.
21:16She'll be fine.
21:17Louis, today 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 group 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.
21:47Ah!
21:48Fire!
21:49There's another fire!
21:52Save me!
21:53Mom, Dad, save me, save me!
21:57Lucy!
21:58Rose rushed forward to protect her,
22:00but Lucy broke,
22:02free and ran to the edge of the second floor balcony.
22:07If Louis doesn't come back,
22:09I'll jump!
22:11I'll burn myself to death!
22:12Before the white family could react,
22:15Lucy jumped.
22:16The second floor balcony wasn't very high.
22:20Jumping!
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 and came out.
22:35Rest assured, everyone,
22:36Lucy is fine.
22:37She can go home after we treat her wound.
22:39She donated her liver before
22:41and has schizophrenia.
22:42We're worried there might be complications.
22:45Although she's not seriously hurt,
22:47we're concerned about aggravating her existing conditions.
22:50We did the additional tests you requested.
22:52Could there be a mistake?
22:53Miss Lucy has no scar from a liver donation surgery on her abdomen,
22:56and there are no signs of liver regeneration.
22:58Also, regarding her mental state,
22:59it might have been a misdiagnosis at the previous hospital.
23:02Her mental health data are completely normal.
23:04Dad and Rose were stunned.
23:06Don't tell anyone yet.
23:08Rose nodded and looked at Lucy,
23:09who was being treated in the emergency room,
23:12her expression complicated.
23:13Just three hours earlier,
23:15Henry had returned to his office alone.
23:17As the eldest son of the White family,
23:20it was easy for Henry to investigate anything.
23:23The assistant had printed out the found materials
23:25and delivered them half an hour ago.
23:27Besides medical reports and records similar to mine,
23:30there were also two surveillance videos.
23:32One showed me signing the liver donation agreement
23:35and being wheeled into the operating room.
23:37The other showed me being beaten
23:38and tortured by other inmates in prison.
23:41Henry saw the footage of me donating my liver and being beaten.
23:44When he saw the knife cutting my face,
23:47he finally couldn't take it anymore.
23:52Henry, he pressed the intercom
23:53and called his assistant keep investigating.
23:56Keep investigating?
23:57Why would these people assault a member of 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 must 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 of that old diary.
24:19December 25th, 2008,
24:22Mom and Dad came to take me home.
24:24I really liked my brother and sister.
24:26But they don't seem to like me very much.
24:29Over two hours later,
24:31Henry saw the final words I had left for him.
24:34Henry,
24:35My brother.
24:36I never used the card you 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 new investigation materials.
24:51The materials showed that the mastermind behind Thebus against me,
24:55and the withholding of my money was Lucy.
24:58Henry began to truly realize that the sister he had protected for years was fundamentally a vicious person.
25:05He needed to immediately clarify things with a family.
25:09The white family couldn't be made fools like this.
25:12As for Louis,
25:14he would have to wait.
25:16Knowing Louis' feelings for me,
25:18once he knew the whole truth,
25:20he wooed of 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 and no one can count her down.
25:33I'll be right there.
25:35Henry hung up and rushed out of the office.
25:37No matter.
25:39What?
25:39He had to ask Lucy face to face.
25:45The living room was a complete mess.
25:48Everything that could be smashed had 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 the diary Amelia left behind.
26:01Amelia?
26:02Rose looked towards the stairs leading to the attic and took the diary from Henry.
26:07Henry stared at Lucy, who was still smashing things.
26:10The person who donated their liver to 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 your sister's living expenses?
26:24Why did you have people torture 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 and 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 in the USB drive with the videos and handed them over.
26:48After reading the materials, Rose fainted on the spot.
26:52As for my dad, he just cursed.
26:55Animal!
26:56Lewis walked into the living room, followed by a bodyguard escorting a fierce-looking man.
27:01As Amelia's fiancé, I also have the right to know the truth.
27:05I learned that someone was torturing Amelia in prison.
27:07I've brought the man.
27:08What are you talking about?
27:09I think I have a right to know.
27:11Lucy saw the man behind Lewis and panicked.
27:14What truth?
27:15What are you all talking about?
27:16Are you still not going to tell us the truth?
27:18How many things have you framed Amelia for over the years?
27:22How many things have you made Amelia 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 one biological sister?
27:34Lucy started screaming, turned, and tried to run to the balcony again, but this time, no one stopped her.
27:42Dad took out Lucy's medical report and 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 to save someone.
28:03It was your sister, wasn't it?
28:04For over a decade, you've been framping your sister and ordering people to torture her, and haven't you?
28:09Lucy covered her ears and shook her head wildly.
28:12Louis, standing by, asked Henry.
28:15Give me Amelia's medical report.
28:17Henry handed the medical report to Louis.
28:20Lucy collapsed completely to the floor.
28:23Louis flipped through the report, critical condition notices, CT scans, and some scattered pathology photos.
28:30Arms, lower abdomen, back, legs.
28:34Any exposed skin showed wounds of varying depths.
28:37Those were from the beatings and torture I endured in prison.
28:41He walked towards Lucy.
28:43Tell me, what exactly did you do?
28:45What did you do to Amelia?
28:47Lucy didn't answer.
28:48She looked at Rose.
28:50Mommy, it hurts so much.
28:52Rose turned her head away, avoiding Lucy's gaze.
28:56Dad pounded his chest.
28:58How could you be so cruel?
29:00Don't you realize this will make us live in regret and pain for the rest of our lives?
29:04Didn't you say you only loved me?
29:07Peace!
29:08Lucy suddenly burst into loud laughter.
29:11I wanted Amelia dead, that's all.
29:13Lucy!
29:14Louis.
29:15Good boy.
29:16I will give you an explanation.
29:18But before that, Amelia left some words for you.
29:21Dad handed the diary to Louis.
29:24Louis turned to the last page.
29:26Louis, I can't wait for you anymore.
29:29I'm sorry.
29:31I can't forgive you.
29:33Just like you told me when you were 17.
29:35If the future you hurts me, don't forgive.
29:38Because that won't be you.
29:39And the 17-year-old you wouldn't forgive either.
29:42I wish you and Lucy happiness.
29:45Goodbye.
29:46Louis pressed the diary tightly to his chest.
29:49Tears streaming down his face.
29:50Louis, I...
29:53You already have everything.
29:54Everyone dotes on you.
29:56Even after Amelia came back, everything 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, what about you?
30:08Don't forget.
30:08What I was engaged to has always Amelia.
30:11I've always treated like a sister and 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 because you love her?
30:25And what did you do?
30:27You sent her to prison.
30:29You kissed me.
30:31You set off fireworks all over the city for me.
30:35And you say you love her?
30:37Dad stepped forward and slapped Lucy hard.
30:39Mom, Dad, and brother, what about you?
30:42Amelia isn't Dad?
30:43Yes.
30:44I intercepted her living expenses, framed her, and had people torture her in prison.
30:48How innocent are you?
30:50Didn't you also ignore it, condole it, and help me forge evidence to send her to prison?
30:54Isn't it better that she's missing now?
30:57Just treat me as your real daughter, your real sister, okay?
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?
31:07Rose rushed forward and also slapped Lucy hard.
31:10Shut up!
31:11Our only real daughter is Amelia.
31:13Amelia, from now on, you are no longer a daughter of the White family.
31:18We owe Amelia, and we will pay.
31:20You owe Amelia, and you will pay, too.
31:24Police cars arrived outside the White family.
31:27They held a press conference.
31:29The news of the White family's adopted daughter framing the biological daughter went viral.
31:33My parents were condemned by the entire Internet for their poor judgment, foolishness, and abuse of their biological daughter.
31:42In the following days, Professor Lucas applied for an art program for me, and the name Dorothy gradually became known.
31:50At that time in Chicago, whenever Lewis closed his eyes, he could see me, gaunt, sallow, and covered in scars.
31:58In his dreams, I only showed him indifference and hatred.
32:04I know the truth.
32:05I know everything now.
32:07I was wrong.
32:08He remembered that year when he was 17, standing with me under the plain tree.
32:16No can beer and hun and sway, what always did by me.
32:20I love you.
32:23I will you for life.
32:25Lewis woke from his dream.
32:27It was still early morning, when his phone rang.
32:31Miss Lucy has gone crazy in prison.
32:33We have the medical report this time.
32:36Henry also asked someone to look after her.
32:38After hanging up, Lewis thought back to his youth.
32:41He had truly wanted to protect me.
32:44So he pushed himself to become strong, stronger.
32:47He clearly couldn't bear for me to suffer even the slightest pain.
32:52Lewis smiled bitterly.
32:54He was willing for me never to forgive him.
32:57But he wanted to find me.
33:00He wanted to atone for his sins.
33:02He looked out the window.
33:04Tonight in Chicago, it was.
33:07Snowing.
33:11In the living room of the White family villa, Rose learned that her once most beloved, adopted daughter had truly
33:19gone mad.
33:20She also knew it was her own son's doing.
33:23She didn't blame him, because Lucy deserved it.
33:27She began to confess her guilt to others regarding me.
33:31That is my daughter.
33:32My own flesh and blood.
33:33Losing her back then was already my fault.
33:35She must hate me.
33:37So she left and doesn't want her mother anymore.
33:40When I gave birth to her, all I wanted was for her to be healthy and happy.
33:45Why did I treat her like that?
33:48Why did we all treat her like that?
33:52We don't deserve to be parents.
33:55Henry and I have used all of the White family's connections to find her.
33:59We've also informed Lewis.
34:00If they have any news, they will tell us.
34:04We've already lost her once.
34:06She may never forgive us, but we need to atone.
34:10The next day, they went to the mental hospital to see Lucy.
34:14Seeing with their own eyes, Lucy strapped to the bed with restraints.
34:19An hour later, they obtained Lucy's confession.
34:22Recording.
34:23The recording was from when she first arrived at the police station where Lucy admitted to all the crimes she
34:30had.
34:30Committed against Amelia over the years.
34:34They couldn't imagine how I had managed to endure.
34:37All those years alone.
34:39Henry only used a fraction of the tactics Lucy had used against me.
34:43And Lucy went mad.
34:45What about me?
34:47What kept me going?
34:49Snowflakes fell.
34:50Lewis reached out his hand and caught one.
34:53I was wrong.
34:55Where are you now?
35:03In Paris, Professor Lucas and his family let me live with them.
35:07To outsiders, they had gained an eldest daughter and Laura had gained an older sister.
35:13From my room's window, I could see the Seine River.
35:16The setting sun slanted down, gilding the Seine with a sacred, tranquil gold.
35:25Dorothy, they've been looking for you.
35:27For seven years now.
35:31It's okay, Professor.
35:32They're looking for Amelia, not Dorothy.
35:35Dorothy doesn't know them.
35:37Let Dorothy just keep moving forward.
35:40Over the years, I completed all my studies.
35:42Along with earning my diploma, my works gained the qualification to be exhibited at the Louvre.
35:49And I became an internationally renowned artist.
35:52The dismissive faces of the White family, who once declared I had no artistic talent and that missing art school
35:59was no loss.
36:00Used to be my nightmare.
36:02But now it doesn't matter.
36:04The Lucas family treats me as their own.
36:07I am already their child.
36:09The love I once begged and pleaded for in vain now envelopes me.
36:13I was truly no longer an orphan.
36:16I also had a lovely little sister.
36:22On my birthday that year, I looked at myself in the mirror.
36:28With the help of Professor Lucas and his family, the scar on my face, though not completely removable,
36:35had faded to the point of being almost invisible unless you looked closely.
36:40But the scar on my belly, left from saving Louis, was still hideous.
36:47I had the scar on my stomach tattooed into an iris flower.
36:51Legend says the iris has healing powers that remind people of the power of love.
36:55Thank you to the Lucas couple and lovely Laura for inviting me to become part of their family.
37:01After many years, I had finally remembered the power of love.
37:05The next year, I returned to Chicago to hold an exhibition as an artist,
37:10and was also invited to give a lecture at a university.
37:14I met Louis.
37:16He was a partner in the event.
37:18The moment Louis saw me...
37:20Is it you?
37:22This is Louis, chairman of the white group.
37:25Do you know each other?
37:26I extended my hand to Louis.
37:29You have the wrong person.
37:32My name is Dorothy.
37:33Nice to meet you.
37:35Thank you for your support with this event.
37:37I could clearly see the pain and disappointment in his eyes.
37:41Having spent over a decade with him, I knew him better than I knew myself.
37:45After the business pleasantries, I was taken to a temporarily arranged villa.
37:53After the business pleasantries, I was taken to a temporarily arranged villa.
37:58After dinner, Louis came to knock that I asked I was about to close the door.
38:02He pressed his hand firmly against the frame.
38:05Sir, this isn't appropriate, is it?
38:08If you don't let go, I'll call the police.
38:11Or are you planning to turn things around and send me to prison again?
38:16I know it's you, Amalelia.
38:19I was wrong.
38:20I was wrong about everything.
38:23I know everything now.
38:25I am Dorothy.
38:26Amelia is dead.
38:28Didn't you and the white family kill her together?
38:31I'm sorry.
38:32I don't expect you to forgive me.
38:34Just let me atone, okay?
38:38You don't need to say sorry.
38:40You already said it when you mistook me earlier.
38:44How will you atone?
38:46Will you give me back my liver or go to prison for ten years yourself?
38:52Okay.
38:53He pulled a knife from his chest and stabbed himself.
38:56In the stomach.
38:57Are you crazy?
38:58I took the knife and held him.
39:01Blood splattered on our faces.
39:03He had a long gash on his stomach.
39:06Suddenly, I remembered the cherry blossoms that year.
39:09We lay under the cherry tree, petals falling on our faces.
39:14Time seemed to overlap, except the petals had turned into Louis' blood.
39:18My parents and Henry, who had been waiting not far away, ran over.
39:23Darling, are you okay?
39:25Call an ambulance.
39:27Louis is injured.
39:29Mr. Louis might be under a lot of stress lately.
39:32This might make me reconsider the cooperation partner.
39:35I'm sorry.
39:37The ambulance took Louis away.
39:40Henry also went with the police to explain the situation,
39:43leaving me alone to face my parents, whom I hadn't seen for years.
39:48My parents suddenly knelt down to me.
39:54The ambulance took Louis away.
39:56Henry also went with the police to explain the situation, leaving me alone to face my parents, whom I hadn't
40:03seen for years.
40:04My parents suddenly knelt down to me.
40:06I quickly stepped aside.
40:08You can't do this.
40:09You are elders.
40:11We're sorry.
40:12We didn't think it through.
40:13We just want to apologize to our child as ordinary parents.
40:18You can take all the shares of the white group.
40:20You wrote in your diary that you love the sea.
40:23Here is a seaside villa I bought for you.
40:25My mother handed me a property deed.
40:28I pushed it back.
40:29My current room has a view of the Seine.
40:31I prefer the Seine at sunset.
40:33I don't need you.
40:34I have a family that treats me very well.
40:37Don't worry about me.
40:38You humiliated me countless times.
40:40You ignored me, didn't trust me, and let Lucy torment me.
40:45Atonement?
40:45The only thing you can do is admit that Amelia is dead, that you killed her together, and then disappear
40:52from my life.
40:58You must be tired too.
40:59Is there anything else?
41:00Why don't you back and rest early?
41:02Nothing else.
41:02You should rest more and take care of yourself.
41:05Give our regards to your current family.
41:07I walked into the villa and closed the door, the assistant told me.
41:11Louis was not seriously injured.
41:13Tomorrow was the opening day of the exhibition.
41:16The contact person was hospitalized.
41:19The partner promised to assign a new contact person.
41:22Who would visit me today?
41:27But the new contact person turned out to be Henry.
41:31When he came to visit, he was carrying a large bag of fruits and supplements.
41:38Amelia.
41:39I didn't expect the new contact person to be you.
41:42Nice to meet you.
41:43As for this brother, my resentment wasn't particularly strong.
41:47He had been very sheltered, somewhat naive to the hardships of the world,
41:52but that didn't mean I could forgive him.
41:54I'm sorry.
41:54They told me yesterday.
41:55Although we really want you to come home, you're doing well now,
41:58and it's only right that you don't want to forgive us.
42:00I'm sorry.
42:01Amelia.
42:02I am not good.
42:03Don't worry.
42:03Lucy is no longer a member of the White family.
42:06She was sent to prison, and later, she went mad.
42:09Are you done?
42:11Then leave.
42:12And the following days, aside from Henry appearing at work-related events,
42:16the White family and Louis didn't bother me again, but gifts kept being delivered to my place.
42:21At first, I would send them back, but later I couldn't be bothered and just had my assistant deal with
42:27them.
42:27I went to see Lucy at the mental hospital once.
42:30She couldn't recognize me anymore.
42:32She was strapped to the bed, her body covered with scars.
42:36Old and new, deep and shallow, just like mine back then, I didn't stay long.
42:41Those wounds reminded me of my nightmares.
42:44A month after returning to Paris, I received a message from my assistant.
42:49My painting Blossoms in Blood had been anonymously purchased for a high price.
42:53I knew who it was.
42:55Only Louis would do that.
42:56I refunded the excess amount over the paintings valued on Christmas Eve.
43:00As I was decorating the Christmas tree with Professor Lucas and Laura,
43:04I saw the news on TV about the White family group's new satellite launch project.
43:08The new satellite they launched was called Amelia, but I no longer cared.
