00:00Having paid off the final debt, Dad hugged me and smiled in relief.
00:04Hey, Leo. It's over now. I cleared every debt. No one's coming after you anymore.
00:10But Dad is just so tired, buddy. I can't keep going. You'll have to be brave without me.
00:16I nodded obediently. The next second, the basement door was kicked open.
00:21My dead mother suddenly appeared. She looked down at Dad with a chilling smirk.
00:26There was no bankruptcy. The whole thing was staged.
00:30The cliff jump? The thugs who beat you? I arranged all of it.
00:35Three years ago, you cut off Noah's car just to humiliate him at that auction.
00:39You did it because you could. So we made you feel what it's like to lose everything.
00:43That was your punishment.
00:46Grandpa scoffed.
00:47If you finally learned your lesson, go apologize to Noah.
00:51Promise you'll never go after him again.
00:54Do that, and you'll still be our beloved family member.
00:58Dad didn't speak. He just smiled peacefully.
01:01I looked down at the empty vial by his feet.
01:05Right before they broke in, Dad had just swallowed the poison.
01:08They called it a punishment, but they had no idea Dad was actually dying.
01:15Dad collapsed onto the bed. He was too pale to even sit up.
01:19He tried to speak, but blood came out instead.
01:23Grandpa stared at him coldly, his face twisting with disgust.
01:27Playing the victimum again, Liam?
01:29You knew we were coming, so you staged this little performance?
01:33Fake blood? You seriously think we'd pity you?
01:36Panic. Panic gripped my chest.
01:38I wanted to scream that he wasn't faking it.
01:41He drank poison.
01:43He was dying, but they didn't give me the chance.
01:46Mom shoved me aside and marched to the bed.
01:49Her gaze swept over Dad like he was absolute trash.
01:52Liam, these past few years haven't been easy for you, I know.
01:56But it really wasn't that bad.
01:58Those thugs worked for me.
02:00Without my permission, they wouldn't dare touch you.
02:03All the money you earned? I used it to pay them.
02:07We were planning to keep punishing you a few more years, but Noah has a soft heart.
02:12Couldn't stand watching you suffer, so we decided to come bring you home early.
02:15Noah is waiting outside right now.
02:17If you know what's good for you, get up and apologize.
02:19You cut off his cards and humiliated him.
02:22That depression he went through? That was on you!
02:24I shivered, eyes dropping to Dad's hand hidden beneath the covers.
02:27She said those men were actors, that they wouldn't dare hurt him for real.
02:31But I knew better. Every time they came, they stripped him down, forced him onto the floor, and make him
02:37crawl on all fours.
02:39Any resistance meant a worse beating.
02:41They broke his legs more than once, and they took his right hand.
02:46Dad never let me watch.
02:48Every time they came, he forced me to get out.
02:50I could only come back after those monsters left.
02:53Every time, Dad was left in a living hell.
02:56I knew exactly how much he suffered, so when he told me he couldn't hold on anymore, I didn't cry.
03:01I just nodded.
03:03He actually smiled when he drank that poison.
03:06I recognized the label, ricin.
03:08Dad told me it was a lethal toxin.
03:10Drink it, and you were dead.
03:12There was no cure.
03:13You just lay there in agony, waiting to die.
03:16I fought back my tears.
03:17I wanted to ask Mom why she came back so late.
03:20I wanted to tell her Dad suffered more than she could imagine.
03:23He was in so much pain, death was his only escape.
03:27I bit my lip and stayed silent.
03:29Soon, Dad would finally be free.
03:31Dad struggled to sit up, but he was far too weak.
03:35Grandal finally snapped.
03:37How long are you going to keep up this act, Liam?
03:40Get on your feet!
03:41Go apologize to Noah!
03:42Right now!
03:43He dragged Dad toward the door.
03:45Then his boot hit the visel.
03:47My breath hit it.
03:48A tiny spark of hope lit up in my chest.
03:51Please, pick it up.
03:52Just look at the label, then you'll know Dad is dying.
03:58Before his fingers touched the vial, the door swung open.
04:01A sharply dressed man dropped to his knees in front of Dad.
04:05The moment I saw his face, my body started to shake.
04:08Noah.
04:08Dad's best friend.
04:10The man Dad once almost died saving.
04:13Years ago, Noah was cornered by street thugs.
04:16Dad shielded him with his own body.
04:19He took five stab wounds for him.
04:22He spent half a month fighting for his life in the ICU.
04:26The day Dad was discharged, Noah knelt before him.
04:30Liam, you saved my life.
04:33You're my brother now.
04:35Forever.
04:36Noah had nowhere to go, so Dad brought him home and treated him like a real brother.
04:40But Noah repaid him by stealing everything.
04:45He casually hinted to Mom that Dad was seeing other women.
04:49He planted doubt with a smile.
04:52He showed Grandpa bruises he gave himself.
04:54Then he claimed Dad beat him.
04:57He said Dad was repaying the favor of saving his life.
05:00He even framed Dad for embezzling family funds.
05:03He claimed Dad got drunk.
05:06And called Grandpa a useless old parasite.
05:10He said Dad hoarded the family money instead of spending it on Noah.
05:14The dirty lies kept piling up.
05:17Eventually, the whole family looked at Dad with hatred.
05:21Dad tried explaining at first.
05:24But every time, Noah dropped to his knees first.
05:27He apologized for accidentally spilling the truth.
05:30He cried, knelt, and slapped his own face.
05:34Begging for Dad's forgiveness, while turning everyone against him.
05:40Dad was never good at defending himself.
05:42The more he explained, the guiltier he sounded.
05:45No one believed him.
05:47They shielded Noah.
05:48They called Dad abusive.
05:50Controlling.
05:51Jealous.
05:52Eventually, Dad stopped fighting back.
05:55He became quieter.
05:57Smaller.
05:59Trying to please everyone.
06:01No one knew he was severely sick.
06:04The doctor said he had major depression.
06:07He swallowed handfuls of pills.
06:10But nothing worked.
06:12More than once, I found him hiding.
06:15Breaking down in tears.
06:17I wanted to beg Mom and Grandpa to help him.
06:20They're too busy, Leo.
06:22Don't bother them.
06:23He didn't want to be a burden.
06:26Dad cared about everyone except himself.
06:29And the people he cherished destroyed him with a lie.
06:32Dad stared numbly at Noah.
06:34Before Dad could speak, Noah grabbed his hand.
06:37Liam!
06:38I know you hate me.
06:40I know you blame me for hiding the truth.
06:43I'm so sorry you suffered these past three years.
06:46Hit me if it makes you feel better.
06:48Just please, don't be mad at the family.
06:52But I saw exactly what he was doing.
06:54His fingernails dug into Dad's hand.
06:57While pretending to apologize, Dad flinched in pain.
07:01He instinctively pushed him away.
07:04That shove barely had any force.
07:10And just like that, Noah made Dad look guilty again.
07:16Grandpa saw red.
07:18Are you out of your mind, Liam?
07:21Noah lowered himself to apologize to you.
07:24Not only are you ungrateful, you actually dare to attack him?
07:28Clearly, these three years taught you nothing.
07:31So fine.
07:32Let's find somewhere else to adjust your attitude.
07:35Guards, take him back to the estate.
07:37Lock him in the freezer until he's ready to beg for mercy.
07:40The guards rushed in immediately.
07:42They slammed Dad onto the floor.
07:45They pushed so hard his collar tore open.
07:48Pinned to the ground.
07:50Covered in dirt and blood, Dad suddenly laughed.
07:53You.
07:54You're even stupor than I thought.
07:56You faked your deaths for a man who nearly destroyed this family.
08:00And you want me to apologize to him?
08:02In your dreams.
08:04I did make one mistake, though.
08:06The biggest mistake of my life was bringing that viper into our home.
08:11And risking my life to save this ungrateful bastard?
08:14Do you even know why I cut off Noah's?
08:17It was because...
08:18Before he could finish, the slap landed.
08:22His brow split.
08:24Blood ran from his nose and mouth.
08:26The truth was right there.
08:28And they beat it back down.
08:32Dad trembled in agony.
08:33But Grandpa showed no mercy.
08:36Enough!
08:37We've spoiled you way too long.
08:39You make mistakes without remorse?
08:41And now you're trying to frame Noah?
08:43I don't have a shameless son like you.
08:45From this moment on, you are no longer a Sinclair.
08:48Noah is my only son now.
08:50Dad collapsed against the floor.
08:52A weak, mocking smile crept onto his lips.
08:55No.
08:56You people never deserve to be my family.
08:58Grandpa raised his hand again.
09:00I couldn't take it anymore.
09:02I threw myself over Dad.
09:04The pain almost blacked me out.
09:06But I didn't cry.
09:07Stop hurting my dad!
09:09He drank poison!
09:10He's dying!
09:11Everyone froze.
09:12Leo, what did you just say?
09:15Liam?
09:16Took poison?
09:17I fought back tears and crawled for the vial.
09:20Before you came in, Dad just drank ricin.
09:22He's really dying.
09:26Before Mom could read it, Noah snatched it away.
09:29Then he covered his mouth and scoffed.
09:33Ricin?
09:34You can't even read the label.
09:36Liam, if you want to get back at us, fine.
09:39But using fake poison?
09:41That's pathetic.
09:42And dragging Leo into your lies?
09:43He's only eight years old.
09:45Keep this up and you'll ruin his life.
09:46I opened my mouth to defend him.
09:48But Noah held the vial up for everyone to see.
09:50One look and my stomach dropped.
09:52The trick was obvious.
09:54Even I could see it.
09:55But somehow, Mom believed him immediately.
09:58Grandpa believed him too.
09:59Mom's face turned cold and disgusted.
10:02Grandpa ripped the vial from Noah.
10:04Glass shattered against Dad's cheek.
10:06What the hell is wrong with you?
10:07Using fake poison to scare us?
10:09Did you really think playing dead would earn sympathy?
10:12No one showed him a single ounce of pity.
10:14Mom crossed her arms and laughed coldly.
10:17Have you completely lost it, Liam?
10:18Faking your own death for a pity party?
10:20It's genuinely sickening.
10:22Nobody believed him.
10:23But I knew Dad was running out of time.
10:27Dad bought that poison three years ago.
10:29Back when everyone said it was only a matter of time, before he killed himself too.
10:35That day, he finally couldn't take it anymore.
10:38He unscrewed the cap.
10:40Ready to end it all.
10:42But before he could drink it, the dead-a-churders kicked the door in.
10:46They tore the basement apart.
10:48They dragged Dad by his hair.
10:50And beat him mercilessly.
10:52I ran at them crying.
10:54Then someone kicked me hard in the chest.
10:57One of them picked up the open vial.
11:00You owe millions.
11:01What gives you the right to die?
11:03If you die, your kid pays the debt.
11:06Wonder how many beatings a little boy can survive.
11:09For the first time, panic flashed across Dad's face.
11:12He threw himself over me, shielding me in his arms.
11:15He never cried when they mocked him.
11:17But that day, holding me tight, he broke down.
11:20He dropped to his knees and begged.
11:21I won't die.
11:22I'll pay.
11:23Just please, don't touch my son.
11:25Dad survived pure hell just for me.
11:27I didn't understand why he was being punished.
11:29But I knew I was about to lose him forever.
11:32He was too weak to even stand.
11:34My whole body shook from fear.
11:37I hugged her legs and sobbed.
11:39Until my voice went horny.
11:41And I could barely breathe.
11:42Tears blurred my vision.
11:46I clutched her dress and begged.
11:48I'm not lying!
11:50Dad is really dying!
11:51Please, please save him!
11:56My desperate cries didn't move them at all.
11:59Liam!
12:00Look at what you've done to him!
12:03Lying.
12:04Manipulating people.
12:06Playing the victim.
12:08He learned every bit of it from you.
12:11Pale and panicking, I tried to explain.
12:13No!
12:13Dad never taught me to lie!
12:15I'm telling the truth!
12:15But they only looked at me with more disgust.
12:18Using the last of his strength, he grabbed my wrist.
12:21Leo.
12:22Don't beg them anymore.
12:24Dad's okay.
12:26The second he said it, he collapsed.
12:28The poison was taking over.
12:31He reeled in excruciating agony.
12:34A dark pool spread across the floor.
12:37For the first time, panic crossed Mom's eyes.
12:41Mom fell beside him.
12:42Her hands shook as she tried to hold him up.
12:45Call an ambulance!
12:47Hurry!
12:47Grandpa pulled out his phone with trembling fingers.
12:50He dialed 911.
12:56The moment Grandpa hung up, Noah staggered toward Dad.
13:01Nobody noticed.
13:04He dropped a burst-open fake blood pack by Dadad's feet.
13:08Then he covered his mouth in horror.
13:10Oh my God!
13:12Liam!
13:13I know you hate me!
13:15But you can't fake it with a blood pack!
13:18You know I have a heart condition.
13:20You know blood triggers my panic attacks?
13:23I don't care about myself, but your family loves you.
13:26You're making them sick with worry.
13:28Sure enough, the moment those words left his mouth,
13:31Mom let go of Dad instantly.
13:33You knew we'd be worried, Liam!
13:36Yet you pull a cheap stunt like this just for attention?
13:40You make me sick!
13:43Mom wrapped an arm around Noah protectively,
13:45her voice softening.
13:47Don't look at him, Noah.
13:48Noah, it's too sickening.
13:51Dad lay there, covered in blood.
13:54Nobody cared.
13:55They only cared about comforting Noah.
13:58When the ambulance arrived,
14:00Mom and Grandpa frantically ushered Noah forward.
14:04Dad was blocking the path near the doorway.
14:07Without hesitation, they kicked him aside.
14:09He lay paralyzed on the blood-stained floor,
14:12his eyes completely dead inside.
14:14I bawled hysterically, trying to grab Mom's leg again.
14:19But Dad grabbed my hand.
14:21His fingers dug into my palm.
14:24He couldn't speak anymore,
14:26only shook his head at me gently.
14:29I understood immediately.
14:32Even at the very end,
14:34he didn't want anything to do with them anymore.
14:38After everyone finally left,
14:40I dragged Dad back onto the bed.
14:42He must have been in unbearable pain.
14:45Every inch of his body was trembling.
14:49But he didn't cry.
14:50And neither did I.
14:52I knew death was his only release.
14:54I used to hate Mom and Grandpa for dying too early,
14:58for leaving Dad to suffer alone.
15:00But now, I didn't blame them at all.
15:02Because I knew, very soon,
15:04they wouldn't even have the chance to beg him to stay.
15:07Exhausted, Dad closed his eyes
15:10and drifted into a heavy sleep.
15:12I curled up beside him quietly,
15:14not making a sound.
15:16But after midnight,
15:18Dad was violently yanked out of bed
15:20and hurled onto the floor.
15:22He struggled weakly to move,
15:24but Mom slammed her heel right onto his chest.
15:28Fear burned in her eyes.
15:30How can you still sleep, Liam?
15:33Because of your little stunt,
15:34Noah went into cardiac arrest.
15:36The doctor said he needs a heart transplant immediately.
15:40Grandpa snorted impatiently.
15:42He grabbed Dad by the collar
15:44and dragged him toward the door.
15:46Stop playing dead!
15:48If you hadn't terrified Noah on purpose,
15:51his heart wouldn't have failed!
15:52You owe him this!
15:54So now you're gonna pay him back.
15:56We're taking you to the family's private hospital.
16:00You're giving Noah your heart.
16:02Dad couldn't fight back.
16:04He couldn't even make a sound.
16:06He just lay there,
16:08staring dead at Mom.
16:09Mom leaned down and patted his bloody face.
16:12You made mistakes.
16:13Punishment is necessary.
16:14But don't worry.
16:15I won't let anything happen to you.
16:17I already arranged the best artificial heart.
16:20Once the surgery's over,
16:21I'll bring you home.
16:24You'll still be my husband.
16:32It hurt so bad.
16:34All I could do was watch them take Dad away.
16:37Blood streamed from the cut near my eye,
16:39blurring my vision.
16:40I didn't even stop to put shoes on.
16:43I ran barefoot into the night.
16:45By the time I finally reached the hospital,
16:48it was too late.
16:50The surgery was over.
16:52Everyone was crowding around Noah.
16:54Honestly, he looked perfectly fine.
16:57Healthy color.
16:58Steady breathing.
16:59He didn't look like someone
17:00who just had a heart transplant at all.
17:03Yet, Mom and Grandpa
17:05hovered around him anxiously.
17:06No one noticed Dad
17:07lying on the operating table in the corner.
17:10His chest was still split open.
17:12Grandpa nodded in satisfaction
17:14and waved a surgeon over.
17:16Well, if Noah's safe now,
17:19then Liam's punishment can finally end.
17:22Prepare the artificial heart.
17:24Money isn't an issue.
17:26Use the best one available.
17:28The surgeon stepped up to Grandpa,
17:31trembling from head to toe.
17:32Mr. Sinclair,
17:33your son,
17:34he ingested ricin.
17:37When he arrived,
17:39his organs had already failed.
17:40He stopped breathing
17:42before the operation was even completed.
17:44He died on the table.
17:46Dead silence swallowed the room.
17:49Everyone stood there,
17:51paralyzed.
17:52Mom swayed on her feet,
17:54nearly collapsing to the floor.
17:56Grandpa's mouth hung open,
17:58his face twisting
17:59in a horrifying mix of shock and despair.
18:02Only I stood there,
18:03smiling peacefully.
18:05Dad lay motionless
18:07beneath the surgical lights.
18:09He would have looked asleep,
18:10if not for the massive hole in his chest.
18:12He would have looked asleep.
18:15I stumbled over to him,
18:16then reached up clumsily,
18:18and wiped the tears
18:19from the corners of his eyes.
18:21Dad,
18:22you can sleep now.
18:24I'll be good.
18:27I'll survive.
18:28I wasn't sad.
18:30Dad always said this world was too painful,
18:31and that he was too tired.
18:33Maybe this was better.
18:34Now that he was dead,
18:35he didn't have to endure
18:36their torture anymore.
18:37Suddenly,
18:38a gut-wrenching scream
18:39tore through the room behind me.
18:41Mom threw herself forward.
18:43She grabbed Dad's lifeless body,
18:45shaking uncontrollably.
18:47Just hours ago,
18:48she kept saying
18:49Dad deserved to be punished.
18:51Now,
18:51she was sobbing like a broken child.
18:54How could you?
18:56How dare you leave me?
18:58Don't you die!
19:00You're not allowed to die!
19:02Please wake up and look at me.
19:04I won't yell at you anymore.
19:07I won't punish you anymore.
19:09Please,
19:10just open your eyes.
19:12I almost laughed.
19:14Mom was so stupid.
19:16Dad's chest was ripped open.
19:18His heart was gone.
19:20How could he possibly wake up?
19:22Even without the surgery,
19:24he never would have survived.
19:26Riken was a lethal poison.
19:27One sip would shut down
19:29all his organs.
19:30And Dad drank the entire bottle.
19:33He chose an agonizing death,
19:36suffocating in pain,
19:38overliving another second with them.
19:40Liam,
19:41how could you die?
19:43You loved arguing with me,
19:45didn't you?
19:46So get up!
19:48Yell at me again!
19:49I'm sorry.
19:51I didn't know.
19:52I didn't know this would happen.
19:54Grandpa's face was covered in tears,
19:56but I didn't pity him at all.
19:58It was almost funny.
19:59While Dad was literally bleeding out in front of them,
20:02their only thought was how to torture him next.
20:04I looked at Dad's bloodstained face
20:06and let out a cold little smile.
20:08Dad was gone,
20:09but I was still here.
20:10I'd collect myself,
20:11piece by piece.
20:13I'd make everyone who destroyed him
20:15pay in blood.
20:16Their sobs ripped through the room.
20:17I watched blankly
20:18as they cling to Dad's broken body,
20:20shaking him desperately.
20:21How did this happen, Liam?
20:23Please,
20:24just look at us one more time.
20:27They killed him,
20:28yet somehow they cried like victims.
20:31I let out a mocking cloth,
20:33turned around,
20:35and walked right up to Noah.
20:36He looked down at me
20:38with that same smug, mocking look.
20:41You little bastard.
20:43Your father lost,
20:45and you'll lose too.
20:46I'll kick you out of this family next.
20:49Everything here belongs to me.
20:52He looked so smug.
20:53He wasn't even pretending anymore.
20:56I smiled back softly.
20:58Then right under his malicious gaze,
21:00I reached out and ripped the bandages off his chest.
21:03He instinctively reached out to stop me,
21:05but before his fingers could even touch me,
21:07I gasped loudly,
21:08covering my mouth dramatically.
21:10Uncle Noah!
21:12You just had a heart transplant!
21:14But why don't you have a scar?
21:16He scrambled to cover his chest,
21:18but Grandpa rushed over
21:19and pinned his wrists down.
21:21His chest was completely exposed,
21:23not a single mark,
21:24flawless skin,
21:25not even a scratch.
21:26Grandpa stared at him in horror.
21:28Mom stumbled over,
21:30staring at Noah's chest in disbelief.
21:32Grandpa's lips trembled as he roared.
21:34You said your heart was failing!
21:36You said you needed an emergency transplant!
21:39Why?
21:40Why is there no scar?
21:43Mom grabbed Noah by the collar.
21:45Murderless rage filled her eyes.
21:47Did you lie to us?
21:49Was this your plan from the beginning?
21:52Did you deliberately get Liam killed?
21:54Noah shook controllably from sheer terror,
21:57but even now,
21:58he kept lying.
21:59No!
22:00I never wanted Liam dead!
22:02The doctors already said
22:03his organs failed from the poison.
22:05He couldn't survive the transplant anyway.
22:08I was afraid you'd misunderstand me,
22:09so I pretended the surgery happened.
22:13I swear I didn't kill him on purpose.
22:15Leo,
22:16I know you hate me just like your father did,
22:18but you can't just frame me like this.
22:21Your father is dead,
22:22but you still have me,
22:24and I'll take his place,
22:25love you just as much.
22:26He really was good at this,
22:28but he picked the wrong kid to mess with.
22:30I wasn't as innocent and naive as my dad.
22:32These past three years taught me
22:34exactly how cold and ugly people can be.
22:36Facing down ruthless debt crackers,
22:38the greatest trick I learned
22:39was how to play the victim.
22:40My eyes reddened instantly,
22:42then I burst into tears.
22:43I cried even harder
22:44and looked more pitiful than he did.
22:47Pretending to be terrified,
22:49I threw myself to Grandpa's arms.
22:52Uncle Noah's scaring me!
22:54I wasn't trying to frame him.
22:55I just didn't understand
22:57why there wasn't a scar.
22:59On the way here,
23:01I heard the doctors talking.
23:03They said Uncle Noah wasn't even sick,
23:05that he forced them to operate on Dad.
23:08I didn't want to believe it,
23:11so I just wanted to check his chest.
23:14I'm sorry!
23:15I'll apologize to Uncle Noah right now!
23:17I sobbed,
23:19pushing Grandpa away
23:20as if I was going to drop to my knees.
23:22The next second,
23:23a strong hand held me up.
23:24Grandpa gently pulled me back,
23:26wrapping his arms protectively around me.
23:28When he looked at Noah again,
23:30his eyes had turned ice cold.
23:32That's enough.
23:33Leo is a child.
23:35He wouldn't make something like that up.
23:36And he just lost his father.
23:38Even if he said something wrong,
23:40you should be more understanding.
23:41I smiled faintly to myself.
23:44Now he understood.
23:45Knives only hurt when they stab your own skin.
23:49Everything Noah did to Dad,
23:50I'd return to him slowly.
23:52I'd make him suffer exactly the same way.
23:55Noah opened his mouth again,
23:57still trying to defend himself.
23:58But Mom and Grandpa were already out of patience.
24:01The suspicion I planted
24:02had rooted itself deep inside them.
24:04Mom stared at Noah sharply.
24:06Her voice turned colder than before.
24:08Noah,
24:10you didn't actually fake a heart attack, did you?
24:14If you don't have a heart condition,
24:16then why did you let us force Liam into a transplant?
24:20Did you want him gone?
24:22Did you deliberately set this up just to kill him?
24:25Noah shook his head frantically,
24:27trying to deny it.
24:28But I tugged at his sleeve,
24:29looking up at him with wide, innocent eyes.
24:32I believe you, Uncle Noah.
24:34Maybe it's just the doctors who misunderstood you.
24:37He didn't even get a chance to breathe.
24:39If you don't believe him,
24:40just run the test again.
24:41All the blood drained from Noah's face.
24:43Mom nodded,
24:44snapping out of her daze.
24:45If you're innocent,
24:47there's nothing to fear.
24:48Get him tested again.
24:50Full cardiac evaluation.
24:52Now!
24:55I stood still in the corner,
24:57watching as the nurses
24:58dragged a panicking Noah away.
25:00Soon, Noah,
25:01you'd know exactly what it felt like
25:03when no one believed you.
25:04You're taking you...
25:05And I'd be the reason.
25:07The results came back faster than expected.
25:09Mom and Grandpa only glanced at the report,
25:11and their eyes went bloodshot with rage.
25:14Noah,
25:14this is what you call a failing heart?
25:17Your heart is perfectly healthy.
25:19Why did you lie to us?
25:21Because of you.
25:22We forced Liam into that surgery.
25:25You killed him!
25:27You took everything from him!
25:30He was already being punished!
25:31Why did you still want him dead?
25:34Noah curled up on the hospital bed,
25:37trembling violently in fear.
25:39You have to believe me!
25:41I swear I didn't mean for this to happen!
25:43It was a misdiagnosis!
25:45I didn't know!
25:47I would never kill Liam!
25:49Mom and Grandpa looked at him
25:51with utter disappointment,
25:52but they still weren't ruthless enough
25:53to truly punish him.
25:55I just watched the pathetic scene unfold,
25:57feeling a sickening ache for Dad.
25:59They discarded Dad without hesitation,
26:01but they couldn't even punish a lying outsider.
26:03It didn't matter.
26:04I would push them all the way down.
26:07Step by step.
26:09I would make them all feel a pain worse than death.
26:12Noah and I were brought back home.
26:14I couldn't believe they were still living
26:16in the exact same estate.
26:18Three years ago,
26:19Dad and I were thrown out on the streets.
26:20He nearly bled himself dry,
26:22just trying to survive.
26:24He didn't even have the courage
26:25to step foot near this estate.
26:27But the whole time,
26:29the family who were supposed to be dead,
26:31had been living like kings.
26:33Because of Dad's death,
26:34Mom and Grandpa looked at me
26:35with guilt and pity.
26:37They tried to make up for it,
26:39giving me whatever I wanted.
26:40I didn't refuse anything.
26:42I accepted it all.
26:44Dad traded his life for this chance.
26:46I would not waste it.
26:48Noah dialed up his little act.
26:51In front of Mom and Grandpa,
26:53he would hug me
26:54and shed silent tears,
26:56playing the heartbroken uncle.
26:58I acted terrified.
27:00But the second he walked away,
27:02I pulled the voice recorder
27:04from under the couch cushion
27:05and smiled.
27:07He had no idea.
27:11Every word he said,
27:13every move he made,
27:14would be the nails in his coffin.
27:16I took the recorder into Mom's study
27:19and accidentally pressed play.
27:23Noah was sweet-talking to Mom.
27:25The moment he heard his own voice,
27:27all the blood drained from his face.
27:30He panicked,
27:31screaming that the audio was faked
27:33and I was framing him.
27:34But no one believed him.
27:36Mom just stared at him with disgust.
27:38In front of Grandpa,
27:39I'd purposely pull down my collar,
27:42exposing dark,
27:43horrifying choke marks on my neck.
27:45When he asked what happened,
27:47I'd just look at Noah
27:48and tremble in fear.
27:50Noah couldn't defend himself at all.
27:53He never dreamed his own dirty tricks
27:55would be used against him.
27:56The cracks were showing.
27:57Day by day,
27:59their pity turned into disgust.
28:00Just like how they used to look at Dad.
28:03But this was still not enough.
28:05These tricks wouldn't completely destroy Noah.
28:08But that was fine.
28:10I was going to shove him over the edge
28:12once and for all.
28:15After Dad's funeral,
28:17I sneak back into the basement.
28:21Relying on my memory,
28:29I dug out a hidden folder from Dad's closet.
28:38Gripping the thin papers,
28:40I smiled until tears fell.
28:43This was Dad's final weapon.
28:46The exact weapon I needed
28:49to drag Noah straight to hell.
