Transcript
00:03Christmas was coming.
00:05My husband was driving me home.
00:08I was eight months pregnant.
00:10Then, his phone rang.
00:12I couldn't help but ask,
00:14Who's been calling you frantically on Christmas Eve?
00:17He suddenly pulled the car over to the curb.
00:21Get out.
00:22What did you say?
00:23He stared straight ahead.
00:25The power tripped at my sister-in-law's house.
00:27She's alone and scared.
00:28I have to get over there and fix it for her.
00:30I couldn't believe my ears.
00:31Right then, his phone started ringing urgently again.
00:35Losing his patience,
00:38my husband threw open the car door
00:40and roughly dragged me out from the back seat.
00:43She's afraid of the dark and can't wait any longer.
00:46You're only eight months pregnant.
00:47Waiting on the highway for a bit won't kill you.
00:49Someone will pick you up in half an hour.
00:52I watched Brian's car speed away into the distance.
00:55My heart sank to rock bottom.
00:57Suddenly, a faint, sharp pain started blooming,
01:00making me break into a cold sweat.
01:02A car pulled over and the window rolled down.
01:05The female driver's eyes showed a flicker of concern.
01:07Are you okay?
01:08I think I'm going into labor.
01:12Damn it.
01:14The female driver met her to curse
01:16and quickly helped me into the car.
01:20Where is your husband?
01:21I had no answer for that.
01:24I was carrying Brian's child and was about to give birth,
01:27yet I wasn't as important as a power outage
01:30at his widowed sister-in-law's house.
01:32A total stranger cared more about me than he did.
01:35A sudden wave of pain hit me,
01:38and I gasped for air.
01:40Once the contraction passed,
01:42I pulled out my phone and dialed Brian's number.
01:45He hung up without a second thought.
01:48Once, twice, three times.
01:50On the 16th call, he finally picked up,
01:53sounding incredibly annoyed.
01:55What now?
01:55Shut up and wait.
01:56I told you to stop calling.
01:58It was quiet on the other end,
01:59but two seconds later,
02:01Chloe's voice drifted through.
02:02Brian, the power's still not back.
02:04I'm so scared.
02:05Hearing that,
02:06Brian lost all interest in listening to me.
02:09He just snapped.
02:09My men are almost there.
02:11Stay put and stop causing trouble.
02:12The words,
02:13I'm giving birth,
02:14got stuck in my throat.
02:16Suddenly,
02:17I felt a gush of warm fluid between my legs.
02:20My heart plummeted.
02:21The female driver tried to pull over right away.
02:24All lanes were completely stuck in traffic.
02:27Some drivers even blocked the emergency lane.
02:30Shit!
02:32But she turned to me and said,
02:33Don't worry, you'll be okay.
02:36Make way!
02:37A woman is in labor!
02:40But the long line of cars did not move at all.
02:43I tried to calm down and called Jake,
02:46Brian's right-hand man,
02:47if they cleared the road.
02:51Donna, what's wrong?
02:52Another sharp pain hit me hard.
02:55I gritted my teeth and tried to explain quickly.
02:58I'm in labor.
02:59We're stuck on the highway.
03:02Boss said you always fake it.
03:04Eight months can't be labor.
03:05Wait.
03:06Jake hung up the phone without any mercy.
03:09He hung up the phone without mercy.
03:11The pain was so bad,
03:13I could barely hold my phone.
03:16She jumped out and banged on every car door.
03:18Please make way!
03:20A pregnant woman is about to give birth!
03:22It's a matter of life and death!
03:24Please help us!
03:25I lay back on the seat and called Brian again.
03:29This was my last hope.
03:33The number you dialed in power off.
03:36The number you dialed in power off.
03:37I called again,
03:38but it was still off.
03:39The number you dialed in power off.
03:40Just as I lost all hope,
03:42horns blared outside,
03:44windows rolled down.
03:45Make way ahead!
03:46Make way ahead!
03:46Someone is having a baby!
03:48Drivers shouted together.
03:49Someone is having a baby!
03:58Someone is having a baby!
04:00We were only five minutes away from the highway exit
04:03when we got stuck again.
04:05She honked her horn non-stop,
04:07but the cars ahead didn't budge an inch.
04:09The contractions in my abdomen
04:10became more frequent and violent.
04:12Amniotic flouter mixed with blood
04:14dripping onto the car floor bit by bit.
04:17The pain was so intense,
04:19I blacked out several times,
04:21barely forcing myself to wake up again.
04:23I was completely soaked in cold sweat.
04:26I couldn't even tell if I was conscious
04:27or just fainting from the agony.
04:29When I opened my eyes again,
04:31the female driver was arguing with a bystander.
04:34The emergency lane is for saving lives!
04:37You're gonna kill someone by blocking it!
04:40Everyone is stuck here!
04:42If you're so brave,
04:43go rush the cars in front.
04:44Don't act tough with me,
04:45or I'll show you what's coming.
04:47Seeing him about to hit her,
04:49I endured the sharp pain
04:50and got out of the car to protect her.
04:56I'm really about to give birth.
04:57Please, give us a way through!
04:59Fresh blood stained the snow beneath me bright red.
05:02The man panicked,
05:03scrambled back into his car,
05:04and slammed the door shut.
05:06It's got nothing to do with me!
05:08Don't try to pin this on me!
05:10Everyone got out of their cars,
05:12knocking on windows one by one
05:13to convince others.
05:14This pregnant woman can't hold on much longer!
05:17She's in immediate danger!
05:19Have some heart and save a life!
05:21Everyone has family at home!
05:22A massive wave of pain hit me again.
05:25Every car ahead moved in unison,
05:27clearing the emergency lane.
05:29Some drivers were even willing
05:30to scratch their own cars
05:32just to pull over further
05:33and widen the path.
05:34The crowd carefully helped me
05:36back into the car.
05:39Don't be afraid!
05:40You'll reach the hospital soon!
05:42As the car started moving again,
05:44I couldn't help but cry
05:46as I thanked them.
05:48Thank you, everyone.
05:50The female driver comforted me softly.
05:52Saving you today
05:53is like leaving a path of survival
05:55for myself in the future.
05:56But after only two minutes of driving,
05:59a family enforcement vehicle
06:00cut us off and forced us to stop.
06:04Brian's right-hand man, Jake,
06:05stepped out of the car
06:06with a heavy scowl.
06:09You dare mess with the traffic
06:10on a road controlled by our family?
06:13You even caused
06:14multiple scratches and dents?
06:16The female driver
06:17tried to explain the situation,
06:18but Jake cut her off immediately.
06:20You women drivers
06:22are nothing but trouble.
06:23Sooner or later,
06:24we're going to ban you
06:26from the roads.
06:26The driver was furious.
06:28Before she could even argue back,
06:31she heard me let out
06:32a sharp scream.
06:34She rushed to wipe
06:35the cold sweat from my forehead.
06:37Just hang in there.
06:38We can reach the hospital
06:39in five minutes.
06:40Max!
06:41Jake stepped forward.
06:43When he saw it was me,
06:44a flicker of suspicion
06:45crossed his face.
06:47Sister-in-law?
06:48What are you doing here?
06:50I bit down hard on my finger,
06:52forcing myself to stay conscious.
06:54I'm giving birth.
06:56You guys need to...
06:57Halfway through my sentence,
06:59Jake's phone rang.
07:00Boss,
07:01we found Donna,
07:02but she looks like she's in labor.
07:04On the other end of the line,
07:05Brian's voice came through clearly,
07:07as cold as ice.
07:08She's just throwing a tantrum.
07:09Ignore her and let her stay there
07:10to reflect on her behavior.
07:15My head started spinning instantly,
07:17and the pain felt like
07:19it was tearing my body apart.
07:21After one last scream,
07:23my vision went black,
07:24and I completely lost consciousness.
07:26When I woke up again,
07:28I was already in the hospital.
07:30I only found out
07:31from the conversation of the nearby
07:33that I'd been resuscitated
07:34for a whole day.
07:35I slumped on the bed.
07:37The still unsettled stomach
07:38suddenly clampsed.
07:40I know the child is gone.
07:42Before I could even process the grief,
07:44Brian walked in.
07:45Behind him followed Chloe,
07:46looking like a victim
07:47with a pout on her face.
07:49Joy, you really love
07:50making a scene over nothing.
07:51Didn't you say you were giving birth?
07:52Well, where's the baby?
07:54Looking at his completely
07:55indifferent face,
07:56I let out a self-defecating laugh
07:58and stayed silent.
07:59Chloe gently patted her chest
08:00and shot me a casual,
08:02dismissive glance.
08:03Joy, you really didn't need
08:04to do all this.
08:05Brian and I are completely innocent.
08:07Was it really worth
08:07making such a huge scene
08:09just to target me?
08:10Aren't you embarrassed?
08:11It was just a short
08:12power outage at my house.
08:13Did you really have to
08:14overreact like this?
08:16Embarrassed?
08:16I gripped the bedsheet so hard
08:18my nails nearly dug into my flesh.
08:19If giving birth to my husband's child
08:21is embarrassing,
08:23then calling someone else's husband
08:24to leave his pregnant wife
08:25just to fix a fuse
08:26is absolutely shameless!
08:28I know you giving birth
08:29is a big deal,
08:29but I'm a woman alone at home
08:31in the pitch lark.
08:32I was truly terrified.
08:34If Brian hadn't arrived in time,
08:35I would have,
08:36I would have to suffer
08:37in the dark all night.
08:38Yes, the power is fixed.
08:40Brian arrived just in time
08:41so she no longer
08:42has to fear the dark.
08:43But I could no longer
08:44hold back my sorrow and anger,
08:46grabbed the water cup
08:47on the table
08:47and hurled it fiercely at them.
08:49But I've lost my child!
08:51I'll never see him again!
08:52What do you mean
08:53the baby is gone?
08:53Don't say such cursed things
08:54on Christmas Eve.
08:55You really are unfit
08:57to be a mother.
08:57My poor child,
08:58you were supposed to be born
09:00amid everyone's expectations
09:01and embrace the warmth
09:02of this world,
09:03never even getting a chance
09:04to catch a glimpse
09:05of the world.
09:05I closed my eyes
09:06in utter despair,
09:07pointing tremblingly
09:08at the door.
09:09Get out!
09:11You're telling me to get out?
09:12Brian looked at me
09:13in disbelief.
09:14He grabbed my wrist
09:15with enough force
09:16to crush the bone.
09:17I set aside family business
09:18to come see you
09:19and this is the attitude I get?
09:21As he agitatedly moved,
09:22his collar shifted,
09:24revealed a faint red mark
09:25on his neck.
09:27The sight of it
09:27stung my eyes
09:28like a physical blow.
09:29Behind him,
09:30Chloe tugged at the corner
09:31of Brian's jacket.
09:32Brian, don't be like that.
09:34No matter what,
09:35Joy is still carrying
09:36your child.
09:38If you were even half
09:39as sensible
09:40as your sister-in-law,
09:41things wouldn't be
09:41this way between us.
09:42Physically and mentally
09:43exhausted,
09:44I had no strength
09:45left to argue.
09:46Just as I was about
09:47to lie back down to rest,
09:48Chloe stepped toward me.
09:50Joy, I know...
09:51Mid-sentence,
09:52she staged a trip
09:53and slammed her weight
09:53directly into my stomach.
09:56Chloe immediately assumed
09:57the role of the victim,
09:59collapsing onto the floor.
10:00Joy, why did you push me?
10:04Chloe, are you okay?
10:05His eyes were fixed
10:06solely on Chloe.
10:07He didn't even notice
10:09that I was too painful
10:10to even groan.
10:11I laughed bitterly
10:11in my heart.
10:12If the baby were still there,
10:14Chloe's deliberate collision
10:15would have been enough
10:15to cause a fatal rupture.
10:17Chloe sniffled,
10:18wiping away tears
10:19with a hurt expression.
10:20Brian, I'm fine.
10:21I was just so scared
10:23a moment ago.
10:24Brian was consumed
10:25with pity for her.
10:26Before he could offer
10:27more comfort,
10:28Chloe suddenly
10:29lunged at me again.
10:32Joy, why are you so vicious?
10:35I only asked Brian
10:36to help fix a fuse box?
10:38Did you really have to push me
10:39just because you're jealous?
10:41She grabbed my arms
10:42and shook me violently.
10:44Wincing in pain,
10:45I tried to push her away,
10:46but I was utterly drained
10:47of strength.
10:49I didn't do anything.
10:50Chloe repeated her old trick,
10:52suddenly throwing
10:53her body backward.
10:54Fortunately,
10:55Brian reacted quickly,
10:56catching her by the waist
10:57before she hit the ground.
10:59Brian, I'm going to help you
11:00by my side.
11:01I'm truly afraid
11:02to stay home alone.
11:03Leaning into his arms,
11:04her tears fell like rain.
11:06Brian whispered
11:06a few tender words
11:07to soothe her.
11:09After helping her
11:09into a chair,
11:10he turned to me
11:11with a face like thunder,
11:13grabbing me
11:14and dragging me
11:14straight out of the bed.
11:17My body hit the floor
11:18with a heavy thud.
11:19He ignored my fall,
11:21intent in dragging me
11:22toward Chloe.
11:23Joy,
11:24apologize to Chloe.
11:25He stopped mid-sentence
11:26as something finally registered.
11:27He whipped his head around.
11:29Only then did he realize.
11:30His face turned ghostly pale
11:32and his voice began to tremble.
11:34Your belly,
11:35what happened?
11:36Where is the child?
11:37Then the door kicked open.
11:39The woman driver came in.
11:41She glared at Brian.
11:43The baby is gone.
11:45He died on the highway
11:47where you left her.
11:49Brian's hand shook.
11:50He stepped back again and again.
11:55No.
11:57This can't be.
11:58The female driver ignored him.
12:00She helped me get to bed.
12:03She pressed the call button.
12:05You just had a miscarriage.
12:07You're very weak.
12:08You need to rest.
12:10Brian never cared about me.
12:12Not once since he walked in.
12:14But this stranger helped me.
12:16She paid my hospital bill.
12:18She even took care of me all day.
12:20Warmth filled my heart.
12:22Tears fell from my eyes.
12:24I didn't know what else to say.
12:26She wiped my tears gently.
12:28It's okay.
12:29We're both women.
12:30We should take care of each other.
12:32Before she finished,
12:33Brian pulled her away from me.
12:34He stared at me.
12:35Joy,
12:36what are you playing at?
12:37Where is the baby?
12:38I didn't want to talk to him.
12:39I turned my head away.
12:41Chloe laughed coldly.
12:43You're so revengeful.
12:44Fine.
12:45You had the baby and didn't tell Brian.
12:46But now you're hiding the baby?
12:48You're so cruel.
12:49Brian squeezed my wrist tighter.
12:54I'm the father.
12:55I have a right to see my child.
12:56If you keep acting crazy,
12:58I'll divorce you.
12:59Brian had talked about divorce before.
13:01Many times.
13:02Always because of Chloe.
13:04In the past,
13:05I would get upset.
13:06I would apologize.
13:08I would beg him to forgive me.
13:09But this time,
13:11I just glanced at him.
13:13My voice was cold.
13:14Then let's get a divorce.
13:16Brian's body shook.
13:17He looked at me in disbelief.
13:20Do you know what you're saying?
13:22Of course,
13:22I knew what I was saying.
13:24Too bad Brian had no idea
13:25what he was doing.
13:26Forget it.
13:27For the baby's sake,
13:28I'll let it go.
13:29Just tell me where the baby is,
13:30then I'll forgive you.
13:31The baby?
13:31If he really cared about the baby,
13:33my child wouldn't be a cold corpse.
13:35Every word he said stabbed my heart.
13:38I couldn't hold back my anger anymore.
13:40I slapped him hard across the face.
13:42The baby is dead.
13:43You have no baby.
13:44You'll never see him again.
13:46At first,
13:47Brian was shocked.
13:48Now he was really annoyed.
13:49Joy,
13:50my patience is running out.
13:51Stop lying to me.
13:52Where is the baby?
13:53Tell me and I'll forgive you.
13:54I won't divorce you.
13:55Chloe snorted next to me.
13:57To keep Brian from seeing the baby,
13:59you really are creative.
14:00Saying something so evil.
14:01Just then,
14:02a nurse walked in.
14:04She checked my face.
14:06She said my name.
14:08Joy,
14:09you just had a miscarriage.
14:10Before she finished,
14:12Brian grabbed her wrist.
14:13What did you say?
14:15What miscarriage?
14:16After learning Brian was the father,
14:18the nurse shot him a dirty look.
14:19She was in emergency surgery.
14:21You weren't there.
14:22She had a miscarriage.
14:23You weren't there.
14:24Now you come here acting like you care?
14:26The whole floor knew what had happened.
14:28No one had anything nice to say to him.
14:31But Brian didn't care about that now.
14:33He grabbed my hand tightly.
14:35Like I was his last hope.
14:37He looked at me like he was begging.
14:39Joy,
14:40tell me it's not true.
14:41You're just mad I left you on the highway,
14:42so you got them to lie to me,
14:44right?
14:44He thought too highly of me.
14:47Like I could get a whole hospital to lie.
14:49If you don't believe us,
14:51call your brother.
14:52He knows everything.
14:53When I was barely conscious,
14:55I heard the woman driver begging Jake on the highway.
14:58But Jake still thought I was faking.
15:00Don't be fooled by her.
15:02Our boss said she lies all the time.
15:04She's just jealous about the power outage.
15:06Now she's blocking the emergency lane.
15:09So embarrassing.
15:10The woman driver got mad.
15:14You've never given birth.
15:16Fine.
15:16You don't know what labor looks like.
15:19But are you blind too?
15:21Can't you see the blood on her?
15:22Maybe he saw blood.
15:24Jake finally woke up.
15:26He drove the family's car.
15:27He cleared the way.
15:28A five minute drive took only three minutes.
15:31Right before I passed out,
15:32I heard the doctor sigh.
15:34The baby can't be saved.
15:37They said he was just one minute too late.
15:40The baby's heart had already stopped.
15:42If they got there one minute earlier,
15:44maybe the baby could have lived.
15:46And that minute was lost because of Brian's phone call.
15:49If he had just believed me,
15:51if he hadn't told Jake to stop me,
15:53the baby would have lived.
15:54Thinking about it made my heart hurt.
15:56I couldn't breathe.
15:59Brian was still fumbling about his phone.
16:02I looked at him coldly.
16:05I need an IV.
16:07Can you please stop bothering me?
16:09The nurse and the female driver warned him.
16:11The patient needs rest.
16:12Please leave now.
16:14Brian let go.
16:15His eyes were red.
16:17Joy, I'll come back when you're rested.
16:19When he turned around,
16:20I saw tears on his face.
16:22Maybe he was sorry.
16:24Maybe he was heartbroken.
16:26But to me, it didn't matter anymore.
16:29To let me rest,
16:30the woman driver left.
16:31She gave me her number so I could pay her back.
16:34I lay in bed.
16:35I watched the IV drip.
16:37My heart was dead.
16:38Maybe it was medicine.
16:40Maybe I was just too tired.
16:41I closed my eyes.
16:43I was almost asleep.
16:44Then I heard arguing outside.
16:46Brian, how can you blame me?
16:48Your baby's life mattered.
16:49But being scared of dark matters too.
16:52Having a baby?
16:53Every woman can do that.
16:55She's just useless.
16:57She couldn't even keep the baby alive.
16:59So in the end, was it still my fault?
17:02I found it so ironic.
17:04But it didn't matter what they thought.
17:06Once I got out of the hospital,
17:08I would divorce Brian immediately.
17:11Just as I thought that,
17:12I heard Chloe scream outside.
17:15Brian, you hit me?
17:17Chloe was Brian's sister-in-law.
17:20His brother lived over Z's.
17:21But the year he came back,
17:22he got into a car accident.
17:24They couldn't save him in time.
17:25He died.
17:26Take care of Chloe.
17:28His last words were for Brian.
17:30After that,
17:31Brian was so good to her.
17:33He even bought her the house next door
17:34just to make it easy.
17:36We'd been married for years.
17:39He never cooked me one meal.
17:40But when Chloe said she was scared of the dark,
17:43scared of a power outage,
17:45he went running.
17:47At first, I felt a little bad,
17:49but I didn't think much of it.
17:51It was his brother's last wish.
17:54But Chloe got worse and worse.
17:58She'd walk around our house in her pajamas.
18:01She'd press herself against Brian.
18:04When I had a fever,
18:05she called him away because she was scared.
18:08I couldn't take it anymore.
18:10I said something a few times,
18:12but Brian always said I was jealous.
18:14She's my sister-in-law.
18:15Can you not be so disgusting?
18:17So Brian always did what she said.
18:19Maybe they were already together.
18:21I just never thought Brian would hit her.
18:24Brian sounded weak.
18:25Chloe, if you didn't cry about the blackout,
18:27I'd never leave Joy on the highway
18:28and she wouldn't lose the baby!
18:29You told me eight months was safe.
18:32Nothing would happen.
18:33Now my baby is gone.
18:35Gone!
18:36Dogs biting dogs,
18:37listening to them blame each other.
18:39I just felt sick.
18:41My IV was almost done.
18:43I reached for the call button.
18:44The noise outside stopped.
18:46Brian walked in, looking tired.
18:48There were five finger marks on his face.
18:51Chloe must have slapped him back.
18:53Before, I would have felt bad.
18:55Now I don't care.
18:56He saw me reaching for the button.
18:58He rushed over.
18:59Honey, don't move.
19:00Let me.
19:01Honey, that word used to be so sweet.
19:04Now it just made me sick.
19:06I frowned and moved away.
19:07I didn't want him touching me.
19:13Boss, I'm done.
19:15Abusing power, blocking the road,
19:16failing at my job.
19:18The family is kicking me out.
19:19I'm going to prison for a long time.
19:21I'm going to prison for a long time.
