06:08Dr. Lane I'm Lucas Reed got a minute
06:10he stayed from this morning all the way to now you know who I am
06:14yes I've been looking for you for three years
06:17or Alice the one and only successor to the world's best neurosurgeon
06:20so that's what he means three years married and he doesn't even know my face
06:24of course not
06:26so the guarantee stepping in front of that bottle all of that was because I'm Alice
06:32yes your hands couldn't be raised
06:33even so what does that have to do with you Mr. Reed
06:37there's a surgery I need done
06:38I've been to every specialist I can find
06:41no one will take the case
06:43he helped me today
06:44we're even
06:45one surgery
06:46then we're done for good
06:47I once heard the housekeeper mention that there's someone Lucas never got over
06:51is this her?
06:53three months
06:54at most
06:54the fragment is pressing on her optic nerve
06:57she's already blind
06:57her hearing is probably going too
06:59that's right
07:01the window was a year ago
07:02why wasn't she operated on?
07:05best odds anyone could give me were 50-50
07:07I couldn't accept that
07:09that's how much he loves her
07:11but then again
07:12why did he agree to marry me three years ago?
07:14a backup plan?
07:15just in case she didn't make it?
07:16bottom line
07:17he's trash
07:18total trash
07:20what if I'm not easy to find?
07:22or what if I can't guarantee the surgery works?
07:24you've waited this long
07:25what if she doesn't make it off the table?
07:26as long as you're alive
07:28I'll find you
07:30unbelievable
07:30you've been gambling with someone else's life this whole time
07:33and you think that makes you devoted?
07:34fine
07:34I've looked it over
07:35but I need to see the patient myself before I decide anything
07:38I know her condition inside and out
07:39I can speak on her behalf
07:41speak on her behalf?
07:42she's the one whose life is at stake
07:43I'm responsible for my patient
07:45not you
07:45if that's how you want to do this
07:46then I'm sorry
07:49I can't take the case

28:35but the moment they hear it means going up against Lucas Reed
28:38they'll back off
28:39nobody in Nanshore wants that fight
28:42then we handle it ourselves
28:44you'd use our own resources
28:45that'll expose you as the person behind Nexus Tech
28:47Coco's my best friend
28:49I have to
28:50don't worry
28:51as long as you're the face of the company

29:26how I talk to someone depends on who they are
29:28you're nothing to me Mr. Reed
29:29why would I treat you any differently?
29:31I haven't done anything to you Dr. Lane
29:32this morning your front desk turned me away
29:34and now you're here asking for favors?
29:36all this for her

38:21fine
38:21good to know you're so unbothered
38:23Eller Lane
38:23I guess I don't owe you anything then
38:27that was my first kiss
38:28and it went to that idiot
38:31sir trouble
38:31someone leaked your marriage
38:32they say you cheated with Miss Sherry
38:34she's getting trolled online
38:34her accounts are flooded
38:35find out who did this
38:36now
38:38sir
38:38the divorce isn't final yet
38:40this will hurt the stock price
38:42hardly anyone knows the truth
38:43should I reach out to your ex-wife
38:44and ask her to help clear things up
38:47no
38:50she never came to me in three years
38:52I can't go to her now
38:53and I don't want her involved
38:57Dr. Lane
38:57you've gone too far
38:58I only told you that he got married
38:59how could you sell that to the media
39:00wait
39:01Dr. Lane
39:02outbowed Lucas Reed for cheating
39:03no way
39:04I always thought she seemed decent
39:08do you have proof
39:09because if not
39:09expect a lawyer's letter
39:11barely anyone knew he'd been married
39:13who else would it be
39:13I can't speak for everyone else
39:15but I'd take a closer look at yourself
39:16what's that supposed to mean
39:19friendship with him officially
39:20him to commit
39:21fine
39:22but leave me out of it
39:25I know you like Lucas Dr. Lane
39:27but you can't just accuse me like this
39:29there's nothing going on between us
39:30Miss chin up
39:31the one not loved is the extra one
39:32and make it to your fingers
39:34all I need is a public apology
39:35Dr. Lane do that
39:36and we're done here
39:37someone does owe an apology
39:48here we go
39:49a billionaire saving his girl in public
39:51I have never seen this in real life
39:52this is a textbook love story
39:54Lucas
39:54why are you here
39:55don't be too hard on Dr. Lane
39:57it was my fault
40:00I should have kept my mouth shut
40:01I understand why she's upset with me
40:03I don't blame her
40:04are you here to pile on too
40:06Sherry apologized to Dr. Lane
40:09me?
40:09Lucas
40:09I think you have this backwards
40:11the leak
40:11the lie
40:12the setup
40:13all you
40:14don't think you need to apologize
40:15so Sherry staged the whole thing
40:17it's dark
40:18Lucas
