Cleaning Lady is a Medical Genius
Transcript
00:00I used to be known as the top surgeon in the medical world.
00:03They called my right hand the hand of God.
00:05Then I was accused of medical murder, lost my license, and went to prison for seven years.
00:11After getting out, I changed my name and started working as a car washer on the street.
00:15One night, my whole family barged into my car wash shop.
00:21My mother, Sophia Hart.
00:22Lydia, your sister Jade is sick.
00:24You're the only one who can do this super delicate surgery.
00:28Please save her.
00:29My father grabbed my shoulders.
00:31You're the best doctor we know.
00:33Get in that hospital and save her.
00:37My fiance, Gavin Winters, pulled out our old engagement agreement.
00:44Forced the wedding ring back onto my finger and cried.
00:48If you save her, I'll marry you right now.
00:50I raised my hand.
00:52The one that shook so bad I couldn't even hold a brush steady.
00:56Did they really forget?
00:57Back then, my doctor's stepsister Jade was covering up a medical accident.
01:02My fiance cut the tendons in my hand himself all night to face me to see my confession.
01:06In prison, I was bullied and tortured.
01:10In the end, I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit.
01:20This time, I didn't fall apart.
01:22I decided to survive.
01:24I went through hell in prison.
01:26Bullied, tortured, you name it.
01:29But I never lost hope.
01:31I used my medical skills to treat people and build connections.
01:35Because of my good behavior, I got my sentence reduced several times and was let out.
01:38Now, my palm still twitches like crazy.
01:42You forgot?
01:44You're the ones who destroyed this hand.
01:47And now you want me in the operating room?
01:49You want her to die faster?
01:51Livia, I'm begging you!
01:53Save Jade!
01:56She's only 29.
01:59Her heart's aorta is torn.
02:02Every doctor in this says you're the only one who can do this surgery.
02:06She's your own sister!
02:10My own sister?
02:12I'm the heart family's biological daughter who got lost.
02:15They found me when I was 22.
02:18I thought I finally had a family.
02:21But you know what happened?
02:23They only found me because their adopted daughter, Jade, caused a medical accident that killed someone.
02:29They needed a scapegoat to cover up her scandal.
02:32My ex-fiance, Gavin, still acted like some rich jerk.
02:35He pulled out our engagement agreement.
02:37Lydia, if you come to the hospital right now and save Jade,
02:43I'll forget about the medical accident.
02:46This marriage agreement still stands.
02:49I'll marry you right away, and you can be the heart family's daughter again.
02:54Listening to all this, I just felt a sharp, crazy pain.
02:58He forced me to sign the confession.
03:01My dad, George Heart, just said coldly,
03:05The heart family doesn't need a useless daughter like you.
03:09Jade is our pride.
03:10Now, I slowly lifted my right hand right in front.
03:16Save her?
03:18Mrs. Heart, Mr. Wintus, you two must have pretty short memories, huh?
03:22I yanked up my sleeve and showed them the scar that would ruin any surgeon's career.
03:27Every word came out like a knife.
03:30You're the ones who destroyed this hand just to protect that fake genius.
03:34You want to save her or you want to make sure she dies even faster?
03:37My father, George, got furious.
03:40He slammed my workbench so hard that all the little parts rattled and made a loud clanging sound.
03:47Lydia Gray!
03:49Stop putting on an act!
03:50You've got hard blood in you, but you're full of nothing but cheap gutter trash!
03:55If it's money you want, just say it.
03:57You can have as much as you want as long as Jade is okay.
04:00But you're coming with me right now!
04:04In their eyes, me, their real daughter, wasn't worth a single hair on Jade Moore.
04:11The adopted daughter they'd raised for 20 years.
04:14Even though they destroyed my right hand.
04:16The thing I needed to survive.
04:18They still wanted to suck every last bit of value out of me.
04:22I coldly pushed away Sophia's hand that was covered in grease.
04:27Turned around and kept washing the car wheel.
04:30Like they were just a few puffs of air.
04:34Get out.
04:35There's no hand of God here.
04:37Just a cripple working as a cleaner.
04:40My refusal clearly pissed Gavin off.
04:43He let out a cold laugh.
04:45There was a cruel, determined look in his eyes.
04:48He pulled out his phone and started a live stream.
04:51As the son of the Winters group, he had millions of followers.
04:56Everything he did caught the whole city's attention.
05:00Everyone, this is the Hart family's long lost biological daughter.
05:05Our whole family got on our knees and begged her to save her sister who's hanging by a thread.
05:12He pointed the camera at my messy, oily back.
05:15But because she's jealous that Jade is better than her.
05:18And because she wants more family money.
05:21She's holding out for a higher price and refusing to help me.
05:25The live stream exploded instantly.
05:28The comments came flooding in like a crazy tide.
05:31Oh my God, is that the murderer doctor, Lydia Gray?
05:36She got out of prison and still won't leave us alone?
05:39So what if she's the real daughter?
05:42She's just a bad seed.
05:44Find her.
05:45Someone like that doesn't deserve to live.
05:48Drop the address.
05:49I'm going to send death threats.
05:53Inside, I was totally calm.
05:56During those seven years in prison, I studied medicine every single day.
06:00Even though my right hand was ruined, I taught myself to stitch with my left.
06:03And in prison, I saved an old man with a shocking identity.
06:08Before he died, he gave me all his overseas medical resources and connections.
06:13I got out early and hid my name.
06:16Not to just survive, but to wait for this day.
06:20Wait for Jade.
06:21That fake who stole my work to climb to the top to come crashing down.
06:27Lydia Gray, look at these comments!
06:30You're already public enemy number one.
06:33If you don't go save your sister today,
06:35the Hart family will release a public letter disowning you.
06:39You'll disappear from this city for good!
06:41My mom, Sophia Hart, chimed in too.
06:43Lydia, how can you be so cruel?
06:45Jade isn't our real daughter, but she grew up with us.
06:48She's B-ni.
06:49She's B-thousandim.
06:51Sover her, soving yourself.
06:53The last bit of family bond inside me snapped for good.
06:56I turned my head and showed a weird, creepy smile to the live stream camera.
07:02Fine.
07:03Since you want me to do the surgery that bad, let's go.
07:06That smile made thousands of viewers feel a strange chill.
07:10I hope you won't regret it later.
07:11But I couldn't leave with them right away,
07:13because the angry internet mob got there faster than I thought.
07:17A few aggressive young people stormed the powerhouse.
07:19Murderer! Get out of our town!
07:22Animal! Go die!
07:25Rotten tomatoes and rotten eggs smashed into my side.
07:29Someone rushed in and kicked over my cleaning tools.
07:31The shelf holding them scattered everywhere.
07:34George Hart and Sophia Hart just stood there, watching,
07:38even looking a little satisfied.
07:39In their minds, only by pushing me to the edge
07:42would I finally do what they said.
07:44Since Lydia agreed,
07:46don't let her waste any more time here.
07:49Teach her a lesson.
07:50The bodyguards all rushed in.
07:52It wasn't really helping.
07:53It was more like a robbery.
07:56They smashed my toolbox.
07:58They stepped on and broke my only old radio.
08:02That radio was the only way I could hear the outside world when I was in prison.
08:06Cole Fields gave it to me.
08:08Cole Fields is the younger brother of the victim from the medical accident Jade caused.
08:12When everyone else hated me,
08:14he was the only one digging for the truth.
08:16For the past three months,
08:18he's been helping me fix my crippled hand.
08:21I protected the broken badge in my chest pocket and said quietly,
08:27George Hart,
08:28you're going to regret this.
08:30George Hart laughed coldly.
08:32Regret?
08:33The only regret I have in my whole life is finding you from that slum.
08:37Look at yourself.
08:39You don't have a single bit of heart blood in you.
08:41My fiancé, Gavin Winters, walked up,
08:44holding a black stun gun in his hand.
08:46Lydia Gray, try any tricks.
08:48Jade can't wait any longer.
08:50If you try to run on the way,
08:52I won't mind ruining your other hand too.
08:55Blue electricity crackled in the air,
08:56making a scary sound.
08:58He didn't hesitate at all.
08:59He just jammed the stun gun right into my back.
09:02The shock took over my whole body in a second.
09:04All the air got sucked out of my lungs.
09:08My vision went black.
09:10I collapsed hard on the floor.
09:13Right before I passed out,
09:14I heard Sophia Hart's disgusted voice.
09:17Hurry up.
09:18Don't get the ambulance carpet dirty.
09:21Seriously.
09:22Giving birth to something like this
09:24is just an embarrassment to the Hart family.
09:29I was dragged out of the car wash shop like a dead dog
09:32and the live stream was showing everything in real time.
09:36When I opened my eyes again,
09:37I was locked inside operating room number one.
09:41Jade was lying on the operating table,
09:43her face white as a corpse.
09:45A few young doctors stood around,
09:47completely lost.
09:49My father, George,
09:50mother, Sophia,
09:51and fiancé Gavin were staring at me.
09:54Lydia Gray,
09:54the scalpel is right next to you.
09:56Only you can stitch JD's heart.
09:58Don't even think about playing dead.
09:59There was no care in their eyes.
10:02Just pressure.
10:06If you can't save her,
10:07I promise you're never leaving this operating room alive.
10:10I glanced down at my trembling right hand.
10:13I slowly picked up the scalpel.
10:16Jade Moore,
10:17you didn't see this coming, did you?
10:19I leaned down next to the unconscious Jade's ear.
10:24In the last life,
10:26you took everything from me and let me die in prison.
10:29In this life,
10:30I'm sending you to hell myself.
10:34Outside the observation window,
10:36George Hart saw me not moving and lost it.
10:38He slammed the glass
10:39and screamed loud enough to shake the room.
10:42Lydia Gray!
10:43What are you waiting for?
10:46Cut!
10:47That's the aorta!
10:48If you don't do something,
10:49she's dead!
10:52What's the rush?
10:53I held up my shaking hand.
10:54My hand is ruined.
10:56You saw it yourselves,
10:57didn't you?
10:59Every cut I make right now
11:01is pushing Jade closer to death.
11:04I deliberately slowed down.
11:05I clumsily picked up the suture needle
11:07with my left hand.
11:09The truth is,
11:09I'd already mastered doing surgery
11:11with my left hand in prison.
11:13I was even more accurate
11:14than I used to be with my right.
11:16But I pretended to be weak
11:17and struggling.
11:19I wanted them to watch
11:20with their own eyes
11:22as their precious little genius
11:24fell apart.
11:25Hope slipping away
11:26bit by bit.
11:27More importantly,
11:29I was waiting.
11:31Waiting for the drug inside Jade Moore
11:33to fully kick in.
11:34A month ago,
11:35I went on the dark web
11:37and,
11:37using the name of an
11:38overseas medical expert,
11:41sent Jade a so-called
11:42miracle serum.
11:44Greedy as she was,
11:46of course she injected it in private,
11:48so she could impress the world again
11:50at next week's
11:51international medical conference.
11:53And that drug,
11:54under specific,
11:55high-pressure conditions,
11:56causes the most terrifying
11:58hallucinations.
11:59Gavin started screaming.
12:01Lydia Gray!
12:02You crazy psycho!
12:04What are you doing?
12:06Because he saw Jade Moore
12:07on the operating table,
12:08her eyes snapped open.
12:10Her pupils were unfocused,
12:12full of terror.
12:13Stay away!
12:15Don't kill me!
12:16Suddenly start convulsing violently.
12:19Kevin Walker,
12:20I know I was wrong!
12:21I put down the scalpel
12:23and just watched my family's faces
12:25turn pale outside
12:26the observation window.
12:29The real show starts now.
12:35The cold white surgical lights
12:37in the operating room
12:38stung my eyes.
12:39The monitor's sharp alarm
12:40cut through the silence.
12:42Jade's body was shaking violently.
12:45Her exposed muscles twisted.
12:47Blood sprayed from her unstitched wounds
12:49and soaked the surgical drapes.
12:52Her eyes rolled back,
12:54completely lost in the terrifying
12:55hallucinations from the drug.
12:57Her screams were hoarse
12:59and broken.
13:00Don't jump all!
13:01It wasn't me!
13:02I didn't kill you!
13:04Outside the observation window,
13:06George's face turned pale as paper.
13:08All his anger disappeared,
13:09replaced by disbelief.
13:12Sophia's legs went weak.
13:13She grabbed the cold,
13:14bulletproof glass,
13:15her fingertips turning white.
13:17She kept muttering.
13:26Gavin gripped the microphone tightly,
13:28his knuckles turning pale.
13:31Fear was written all over his face.
13:33He suddenly realized the live stream was still on.
13:37To force Lydia to give in,
13:38he had kept the live stream going the whole time.
13:45He never turned off the sound.
13:47Jade's crazy screams and her confession
13:49were being broadcast live
13:51to tens of thousands of viewers.
13:54The chat,
13:55which had been full of evil,
13:56went weirdly silent.
13:58Two seconds later,
13:59the comments exploded like boiling water.
14:01They scrolled so fast,
14:03they couldn't even read them.
14:05Kevin Walker?
14:06That surgery patient who died seven years ago?
14:10The official report back then
14:12said the lead surgeon Lydia Gray
14:14made a mistake and caused his death.
14:16That's why she went to prison.
14:20So,
14:21the one who messed up wasn't Lydia at all?
14:23It was Jade?
14:25Oh my God,
14:27the whole internet blamed her for seven years?
14:29Gavin felt cold all over.
14:31Sweat ran down his back.
14:32He panicked and reached for the button
14:34to turn off the live stream,
14:35but his fingers were shaking so much,
14:37he missed three times in a row.
14:39The awkward glitching sound
14:40came through the speakers
14:41into the operating room.
14:43It was almost funny.
14:44I sat on a sterile stool
14:45by the operating table.
14:47My right hand rested on the edge of the table.
14:49The ugly scar on the back of my hand
14:51stood out under the harsh lights.
14:52My fingers tapped the table slowly,
14:55lazily,
14:56like a calm observer,
14:58quietly watching the family outside,
15:01panic.
15:01I knew this was coming.
15:03The drug I sent Jade wouldn't kill her,
15:05but it would bring out the darkest guilt
15:07buried deep in her heart.
15:10With the pressure of surgery,
15:12the trauma response,
15:13and the strong hallucinogenic drug
15:15all stacked together,
15:16the guilt she had hidden for seven years
15:19had nowhere to run.
15:21George spun around and grabbed Gavin's wrist.
15:23Turn off the live cream.
15:26Right now!
15:27Right now!
15:28I'll pay to pressure the platform.
15:30Delete all the comments.
15:33Erase the recording!
15:35Too late.
15:36Mr. Hart,
15:37the internet has a memory.
15:39Over a hundred thousand people
15:40have already taken screen shots,
15:42screen recordings,
15:43and shared the video.
15:44Sophia glared at me through the glass.
15:46Her eyes read,
15:47Lydia!
15:49You planned this all along,
15:51didn't you?
15:52You drug Jade on purpose!
15:55You made her lose it in public!
15:57You just wanted to destroy her!
16:00I raised my left hand
16:01and gently smoothed down Jade's messy hair.
16:03My touch was gentle,
16:05but my eyes had no warmth.
16:06Seven years ago,
16:08her hand shook on the operating table.
16:10She punctured Kevin's pulmonary artery.
16:14To protect her reputation as a genius,
16:16she altered the medical records
16:18overnight
16:19and blamed everything on me.
16:22You three used fake evidence
16:24to send me to prison.
16:26Gavin cut the tendons in my right hand
16:27with his own hand.
16:29When you destroyed me,
16:31did you ever think about
16:32leaving me any mercy?
16:34The live stream exploded again.
16:36Public opinion had completely flipped.
16:38The hateful comments
16:40turned into doubt and regret.
16:42Out of the corner of my eye,
16:43I saw Jade's blood pressure dropping fast.
16:46Her heart rate was all over the place.
16:48She could go into cardiac arrest
16:50at any moment.
16:52The assisting doctors nearby
16:53were pale and stiff.
16:55No one dared to touch
16:56the surgical instruments.
16:57Everyone knew that the person on the table
16:59was no longer the beloved genius doctor.
17:01She was a murderer and a fraud.
17:05Do something, Lydia.
17:07Save her now.
17:09I don't care how you do it.
17:11You have to save her.
17:12If she lives,
17:14I'll give you 10 million.
17:16I'll give you a mansion in the city.
17:19Anything you want,
17:21I'll give it to you.
17:24George, you still don't get it.
17:27I never wanted your money.
17:30I never wanted the status you throw around.
17:33I wanted everything you built
17:35with your own hands
17:36and treasure so much
17:37to crumble completely.
17:38I raised my left hand.
17:41Five long, steady fingers.
17:42No shaking at all.
17:44The perfect contrast
17:45to my twisted, shaking right hand.
17:47This hand was the result
17:49of years of training
17:50in that cold prison.
17:51I didn't waste a single second in prison.
17:54While others fought and gave up,
17:56I dissected mice
17:57and stitched specimens
17:58under dim lights.
17:59I wore down my fingertips
18:01until they bled.
18:02Over and over.
18:03I trained my left hand
18:05to be even better
18:06than my right hand had ever been.
18:10You've all been wondering
18:11how I can still be
18:12the only doctor in the city
18:14qualified to do this surgery,
18:16even with my cut tendons.
18:18I picked up the thin curved needle.
18:20My left hand moved smoothly
18:21with perfect control.
18:23Now, I'll show you.
18:26The tip of the needle
18:27pierced the edge
18:27of the red, inflamed blood vessel.
18:29The angle was exact
18:31to 0.1 millimeters.
18:32The pressure was just right.
18:34The damaged artery wall
18:35was as thin as a butterfly's wing.
18:37One wrong move
18:38and it would tear completely.
18:40But my left hand
18:41was rock steady.
18:42Every stitch was tight
18:43and perfect
18:44without a single mistake.
18:46The medical consultants
18:47outside the window
18:48leaned forward
18:48without realizing it.
18:50Their pupils shrank.
18:51They couldn't believe
18:53what they were seeing.
18:54They were all senior experts
18:55in the field.
18:56They could see
18:57how hard this surgery was
18:58and they could see
18:59the terrifying precision
19:00of my left hand.
19:04It's the hand of God.
19:06Gavin stared at my steady left hand.
19:08His nails dug into his palms.
19:10A sharp pain kept him awake.
19:13Only now did he realize
19:14that the cut he made that day
19:16had destroyed a mortal hand.
19:18But it couldn't destroy
19:19the medical skill
19:20carved into my very bones.
19:22I deliberately slowed down
19:24the stitching.
19:25Every time I finished
19:26connecting a section
19:27of the vessel,
19:28I paused for a few seconds.
19:30I let the monitor's alarms
19:32keep torturing the three minutes.
19:35Jade's hallucinations
19:36were still going.
19:37She kept spilling more truth.
19:39The paper,
19:40the one about
19:41minimally invasive
19:42erotic repair,
19:45I didn't write it.
19:47I stole Lydia's draft.
19:49The data in the academic report
19:51was all fake.
19:54I could never get
19:55those clinical results.
19:57I was so scared
19:59of being exposed.
20:02I was scared
20:03of being ordinary.
20:05I...
20:08Every word
20:09was a sharp knife,
20:10slicing through the fake image
20:11the Hart family
20:12had maintained for years.
20:14George swayed.
20:15He almost fell.
20:16The Hart medical group
20:17stock price had been
20:18propped up by Jade's
20:19genius image.
20:20If the scandal
20:20of academic fraud
20:22and medical murder
20:23came out,
20:23the stock would crash
20:24instantly.
20:25Years of work
20:26would be destroyed.
20:28Sophia could no longer
20:29keep up her elegant act.
20:31She slid down the glass
20:32and sat on the floor,
20:33tears mixed with fear
20:34rolling down her face.
20:36She always knew
20:37Jade was average
20:38and untalented,
20:39but she stubbornly
20:40favored the child
20:40she raised for 20 years.
20:42To pave the way for Jade,
20:44she cruelly abandoned
20:46her own flesh and blood.
20:48Now the consequences
20:50of her choices
20:51had come crashing
20:52back on her.
20:53The live stream comments
20:54had completely flipped.
20:56The whole screen
20:56was filled with guilt
20:57toward me
20:58and outrage
20:59at the Hart family.
21:00So the genius
21:01stole her work.
21:02The reputation
21:03was all fake.
21:04I cursed Lydia
21:05seven years ago.
21:06I owe her an apology.
21:08Cutting someone's tendon
21:10and with them online?
21:11This family is heartless.
21:13Everyone who smashed
21:14that car wash dope
21:15apologize now.
21:17You destroyed
21:18his only safe place.
21:19I glassed at the
21:20scrolling comments
21:21out of the corner of my eye.
21:22I felt nothing.
21:24Justice that comes too late
21:25means nothing.
21:27The sympathy of strangers
21:28is cheap and useless.
21:30When I was framed
21:31and sent to prison
21:32seven years ago,
21:33no one spoke up for me.
21:35The apologies now
21:37won't give me back
21:38those seven years.
21:39They won't erase
21:39the permanent scar
21:41on my hand.
21:41Twenty minutes later,
21:43the last stitch was done.
21:44I tied it off cleanly
21:45and cut the extra thread.
21:47My movements
21:48were smooth and precise.
21:49The bleeding wound
21:50was completely closed.
21:51The chaotic heart rate
21:52on the monitor
21:53slowly steadied.
21:54The annoying alarms
21:55stopped.
21:56Jade stopped shaking.
21:57Her eyes were closed.
21:59She was in a deep coma.
22:01Her vital signs
22:02were temporarily stable.
22:04The three people outside
22:06all breathed
22:06a sigh of relief
22:07at the same time.
22:08Their tense nerves relaxed.
22:10Their backs were soaked
22:12with cold sweat.
22:14She's alive!
22:16She's alive!
22:18Sophia cried tears of joy,
22:20muttering to herself.
22:23I knew it.
22:24You wouldn't really kill
22:26your own sister, Lydia.
22:29You're not a bad person.
22:32Come back to the Hart family.
22:34We can forget the past.
22:36I peeled off my bloody gloves
22:38and tossed them
22:39into the medical waste bin.
22:40The plastic clattered loudly.
22:42I picked up the microphone.
22:43Don't get too happy.
22:44The Orita is successfully repaired.
22:47But I left a tiny reversible injury
22:49on the surface
22:50of her heart muscle.
22:51My voice was cold
22:52and sharp,
22:54shattering their brief hope.
22:55The three outside the window
22:56went pale again.
22:58Can't be seen
22:59with the naked eye.
23:00Regular equipment
23:01won't detect it.
23:02It won't kill her.
23:04But it will permanently
23:05weaken her heart's ability
23:06to handle stress.
23:08From now on,
23:09Jade cannot do surgery.
23:12Cannot handle
23:13high pressure work.
23:14Cannot get emotionally
23:16worked up.
23:17For the rest of her life,
23:18she will never hold
23:19a scalpel again.
23:20She will never be
23:21a doctor again.
23:23That thing she spent
23:24her whole life chasing,
23:26that she treasured
23:27like her own life,
23:28I crushed it
23:29with my own hands.
23:30His chest heaved.
23:32Rage was destroying
23:33his sanity.
23:35You're crazy!
23:36Litigrades!
23:37This is pre-meditated revenge!
23:39I'm gonna sue you!
23:40I'm gonna send you
23:41back to prison!
23:42I raised an eyebrow.
23:44Sue me?
23:45You can try.
23:48This surgery
23:49was live-streamed.
23:51Every single move
23:52was standard
23:53and legal.
23:54There's no evidence
23:56of misconduct.
23:57That tiny injury
23:59is a surgical complication.
24:01Even the top
24:02medical forensics
24:03can't prove
24:04it was done on purpose.
24:05I had thought
24:06of everything.
24:07Revenge was never
24:07about acting on impulse.
24:09It was a careful plan.
24:10Step by step,
24:12Gavin finally
24:12couldn't hold back.
24:13His voice shook.
24:14All his arrogance
24:15and coldness gone.
24:16Replaced by fear
24:17and helplessness.
24:19Lydia, let's talk.
24:20I know I was wrong.
24:21I was lied to back then.
24:23I shouldn't have
24:24hurt your hand.
24:25I shouldn't have
24:25bullied you online.
24:26The engagement agreement
24:27is still here.
24:28I'm willing to honor it
24:29and marry you.
24:30I'll give you half
24:31of Winter's group's assets.
24:33Just please spare Jade.
24:35Stop going after
24:36the Hart family.
24:36He reached into his bag
24:38and pulled out that
24:39yellowed, torn
24:39engagement agreement.
24:41His fingers gently
24:42smoothed the wrinkles.
24:44I walked to the
24:45soundproof door
24:46that connected
24:46to the observation room.
24:47I pressed the button
24:48to open it.
24:49The heavy door
24:50slid open slowly.
24:51I walked step by step
24:53to Gavin.
24:54My eyes fell
24:55on his fair,
24:57slender,
24:57perfectly intact hands.
24:59These were the hands
25:00that once held
25:01a sharp scalpel
25:02and cut my tendons
25:03without mercy.
25:06Marry me?
25:07I laughed coldly.
25:08Gavin, are you still
25:10living in the past?
25:12You think I still want you?
25:14That I still want
25:15this pathetic engagement?
25:18I reached up,
25:19snatched the engagement
25:20agreement from his hand
25:21and ripped it into pieces.
25:23The paper made
25:24a loud, tearing sound.
25:26Shreds fell to the
25:27smooth marble floor.
25:31Seven years ago,
25:32you ruined my hand.
25:34You trampled on my dignity.
25:36You stood by and watched
25:38as they sent me
25:39to a dark, hopeless prison.
25:41I leaned close to his ear.
25:43My voice was low and cold,
25:46full of icy hatred.
25:52Now, you disgust me.
25:55No one had ever
25:56crushed his pride
25:57so directly and coldly.
26:00The shock made him panic.
26:03I know I was wrong.
26:05Lydia, give me one more chance.
26:07I stepped aside coldly
26:09and avoided him.
26:10No hesitation.
26:12The disgust in my eyes
26:13was direct and sharp.
26:15Too late.
26:18Just then,
26:19quick, steady footsteps
26:20came from the
26:21operating room hallway.
26:22The sound of dress shoes
26:24got closer.
26:25A tall, young man
26:26walked in.
26:27He was carrying a stack
26:29of neatly bound documents.
26:31It was Cole Fields.
26:33He wore a simple
26:34black coat.
26:35He looked like
26:36he had rushed over.
26:38Sweat dotted
26:38his forehead.
26:39His eyes
26:40immediately found me.
26:42He spotted the burn marks
26:44on my back
26:44from the stun baton.
26:46Pain flashed
26:47in his eyes,
26:48then quickly disappeared
26:50as he calmed himself down.
26:52He walked straight
26:53to George
26:53and slammed the stack
26:54of documents
26:55onto the metal table.
26:57The sound was loud
26:58and sharp.
27:00Mr. Hart,
27:01this is all the evidence
27:02from the medical accident
27:03seven years ago.
27:05The altered medical records.
27:07The surveillance of Jade
27:08using illegal drugs
27:09that day,
27:10the hidden recording
27:11from the operating room
27:12and the bank records
27:13of her buying banned drugs.
27:17Also,
27:17I am submitting
27:18additional evidence
27:19proving that during Lydia
27:19seven years in prison,
27:21the Hart family
27:22used their money
27:23to suppress the truth
27:24and smear her reputation.
27:26George stared at the evidence
27:27on the table.
27:28His pupils trembled.
27:30His whole body
27:31went stiff.
27:33He had no fight
27:34left in him.
27:35He never imagined
27:37that this seemingly
27:37gentle young man
27:39had been quietly
27:40collecting evidence
27:41for seven years.
27:43Sophia panicked
27:44and reached
27:45for the documents.
27:47Cole sidestepped her easily
27:48and looked at her
27:49with cold eyes.
27:52Mrs. Hart,
27:53seven years ago,
27:54my brother Kevin
27:55died on that operating table.
27:57The real killer
27:58walked free.
27:59An innocent person
28:00went to prison.
28:01Today,
28:02I'm here to get justice
28:03for the dead.
28:04I looked at Cole.
28:05A hint of softness
28:07crossed my eyes.
28:08It was the only emotion
28:10I showed all day.
28:12I took out my phone
28:13and dialed an encrypted number.
28:15My voice was flat
28:17as I gave the order.
28:19Falsifying a medical accident.
28:22Commercial defamation.
28:23Malicious physical assault.
28:25Academic fraud.
28:27Hand them all over
28:28to the federal prosecutor.
28:30Open an investigation
28:31at the highest level.
28:34A respectful,
28:36steady voice
28:36answered on the other end.
28:38George looked up,
28:39his eyes full of terror.
28:40Who did you call?
28:42You have other connections.
28:46I slowly pulled out
28:47the broken,
28:48blackened metal badge
28:49from my chest pocket.
28:51The badge had simple,
28:52dark patterns on it.
28:54Understated,
28:55but heavy with meaning.
28:56This was a token
28:57given to me
28:58by a mysterious
28:59old man in prison.
29:01He was a secret owner
29:02of an international
29:03top-tier medical group.
29:05You thought I got
29:06out of prison early
29:07and hid my identity
29:08just to run a little
29:09car wash?
29:10I rubbed the pattern
29:11on the badge
29:12with my fingers.
29:13My voice was cold.
29:15The only reason
29:16I stayed in this city
29:17was to wait
29:18for you to come to me.
29:21So I could settle
29:22every single old debt
29:24with my own hands.
29:26In less than three minutes,
29:29heavy, steady footsteps
29:30came from the hallway.
29:32Several security personnel
29:34in black suits
29:35with cold expressions
29:36walked in quickly.
29:37They moved fast,
29:39no extra words.
29:40They grabbed George,
29:42Sophia, and Gavin.
29:43George struggled,
29:44his face purple.
29:45You can't take me!
29:47I'm the chairman
29:49of Heart Group!
29:52I have money!
29:54I can buy my way
29:55out of anything!
29:56In the face of real rules,
29:58your money
29:59is worthless.
30:01I spoke coldly.
30:02You used money
30:03to twist the truth
30:04back then.
30:05Now you pay the price.
30:10The guard grabbed
30:11Gavin's wrists.
30:12Red marks appeared
30:13on his pale skin.
30:15He turned his head
30:16and stared at me.
30:17His eyes were red.
30:20His voice cracked.
30:22Lydia, you never loved me,
30:23did you?
30:25From the moment
30:26you came back,
30:27all you wanted
30:27was revenge?
30:29I glanced at him coldly,
30:31no hesitation.
30:33The moment you cut
30:35my tendons,
30:36every bit of love
30:37I had for you died.
30:39No extra explanation,
30:41no extra emotion.
30:43The love from the past
30:44was gone.
30:45The three were taken away
30:47one by one.
30:48The livestream was still on.
30:49I reached up
30:50and pressed the off button.
30:52The screen went black.
30:54The noise from the outside world
30:55was cut off.
30:57The empty operating room
30:58now had only me
31:00and Cole
31:00and Jade,
31:02unconscious on the table,
31:04completely finished.
31:06The monitor beeped steadily,
31:08a fake sign of peace.
31:11Cole walked to my side.
31:12His eyes fell on the unhealed
31:14burn marks on my back.
31:16His brow furrowed.
31:20He asked softly,
31:22Does it hurt?
31:23I brought medicine.
31:25I shook my head gently.
31:27I flexed my shaking right hand.
31:30The scar still twitched,
31:31but it didn't hurt
31:32like it used to.
31:34It's fine.
31:36This pain is nothing
31:37compared to what
31:38I went through in prison.
31:38Seven years
31:40in that dark,
31:41deadly prison.
31:42Violence.
31:43Sickness.
31:44Pain.
31:47I had turned myself
31:49into iron.
31:50Physical pain
31:51didn't matter anymore.
31:55All the evidence
31:56has been submitted.
31:58The legal process
31:59will move fast.
32:00Cole straightened
32:01the documents in his hand.
32:02His voice was steady.
32:04Heart group stock
32:05crashed today.
32:06All their partners
32:07pulled out.
32:08They're on the verge
32:09of bankruptcy overnight.
32:10The three of them
32:11are guilty.
32:12There's no way out.
32:13I nodded slightly.
32:14My eyes were calm
32:15as I looked at Jade
32:16on the table.
32:17She was alive.
32:19But she had lost
32:20everything she ever
32:22cared about.
32:23She would carry her guilt
32:25for the rest of her life.
32:27That was worse than death.
32:29It was the perfect punishment
32:31for what she did.
32:32Is it over?
32:34Cole asked softly.
32:37I turned my head
32:38and looked out the window
32:39at the bright sunlight.
32:42My right hand still shook.
32:44But inside,
32:45I was completely free.
32:49No.
32:50I said slowly.
32:52My voice firm and calm.
32:55The reckoning
32:56has just begun.
32:57The reckoning
32:57has just begun.
32:59Seven years ago,
33:00besides the Hart family,
33:01there were so many others
33:03who helped them.
33:04The media who lied.
33:06The doctors who twisted the truth.
33:08The rich and powerful
33:09who looked away.
33:10Everyone who hurt me.
33:11I wouldn't let a single one go.
33:14I would never be a weak lamb
33:16waiting to be slaughtered again.
33:17I had top medical skills.
33:20I had top connections
33:21and money.
33:22I would rewrite
33:23every injustice
33:24with my own hands.
33:25I would take back
33:26everything that belonged to me.
33:28I would tear open
33:29the dirty secrets
33:30hidden under this city's
33:31shiny surface.
33:32I took off
33:33my bloody surgery gown
33:35and threw it in the trash.
33:36I was wearing
33:37simple black work clothes
33:39covered in oil stains.
33:41But I stood up straight.
33:43My presence was sharp
33:44and cold.
33:46Let's go.
33:47Let's go.
33:48I looked at Cole next to me.
33:50Let's go fix that radio first.
33:54His eyes curved into a smile.
33:56He nodded gently.
33:58We walked out of the cold,
34:00silent operating room together.
34:02Our backs were straight
34:03and determined.
34:05Behind us,
34:06the once glorious
34:07heart family
34:08had fallen.
34:10The fake genius
34:11was in the dust.
34:13All their sins
34:14were exposed
34:15in the sunlight.
34:16At the end
34:17of the empty hallway,
34:18sunlight poured down.
34:20It pushed away
34:21the cold darkness
34:22that had surrounded me
34:23for years.
34:25I raised my hand
34:26to block the bright light.
34:28The scar running
34:29across the back of my hand
34:30was clear
34:32and bright in the sun.
34:33The scar
34:35will stay forever.
34:36But from now on,
34:37I am no longer
34:39Lydia Gray,
34:40the abandoned victim.
34:41I hold
34:43a sharp blade
34:43in my hand.
34:45I have light
34:46in my heart.
34:47I will walk
34:49step by step
34:50toward every
34:51darkness.
34:52darkness.
34:52You
