00:00during every hardship beside her husband.
00:05Stay quiet for me. It is just a translation job.
00:09But the call was not a job. It was the truth.
00:13Morgan warned him Claire was destroying her body to pay debts that never existed.
00:17If I'd not faked bankruptcy, Claire would never agree to the divorce.
00:21Chloe has cancer. I will marry her first, then remarry Claire.
00:25One word turned Claire's marriage into ice. Compromise.
00:28He still believed she knew nothing.
00:33Claire, let us get divorced.
00:38Okay.
00:39She asked no questions, because every answer had already killed something inside her.
00:43He could not even wait until morning.
00:51The clerk's office is still open. We can file now.
00:55Every step towards the courthouse sounded like the end of her old life.
01:00She had once believed she was the woman he chose.
01:03No decent man falls for his own niece.
01:05Now she understood.
01:09Maybe she had only been a wall between him and Chloe.
01:12To him, it was temporary paperwork.
01:15Do not fall for anyone else. I will marry you again in a month.
01:21No, Julian.
01:23There is no fake divorce. Only a real one.
01:29By dawn, Claire stopped asking why and started planning how to leave.
01:38Natalie, I want to come to Paris and join your team.
01:40The dream she abandoned for marriage was still waiting.
01:44She had once been a genius, fluent in eight languages.
01:48You belong on the international stage.
01:52That you, you're here as soon as you can.
01:55This time, she would not choose Julian over herself.
02:01Then Chloe sent proof of what Claire had already heard.
02:04He divorced you because he could not wait to marry me.
02:08Claire finally understood that Julian smiled.
02:12Just never for her.
02:14One job after another, she quit the life she had used to save a lie.
02:19Finish tonight's shift, and you can leave after that.
02:25Only one last bar karm chef remained.
02:29That night, poverty vanished from Julian like a costume.
02:36Finally marrying the girl you wanted for years?
02:38Pick a supercar as wedding favor!
02:41Claire stood there with a tray in her hands and the truth at her feet.
02:44You had her dress and ring made years ago.
02:46Why not give Chloe the real wedding, too?
02:50Every joke in that room was another knife.
02:54See, Claire heard enough to know the next wound was coming.
03:01Then someone finally asked the question Claire had once been afraid to ask.
03:05You still plan to remarry, Claire?
03:06Don't tell me you actually fell for her.
03:08Fell for her?
03:09I feel nothing.
03:10It's only to keep Chloe from getting torn apart by gossip.
03:13Every word drove into Claire's chest like a cold needle.
03:16For one second, she thought he had seen her.
03:27Chloe saved Claire by stealing the whole room again.
03:31They clung to each other as naturally as breathing.
03:34I am your uncle.
03:36Behave, behave.
03:37Husband.
03:39Husband.
03:40Husband.
03:41Husband.
03:43Claire walked out because the ex-wife had no place there.
03:57You're still up?
04:00We're divorced.
04:01Didn't we just get married?
04:03Chloe, we're husband and wife.
04:05Julian, open your eyes!
04:07Do you even know who I am?
04:09You're my wife.
04:10You called me honey.
04:12Say it again.
04:13One more time.
04:16All night, he kissed Claire and whispered love words meant for someone else.
04:24Chloe, say you love me too.
04:27The part of Claire that still bled finally hollowed out.
04:33Julian opened his eyes and found Claire's gaze on him.
04:39Claire?
04:40What am I doing here?
04:42Claire said nothing.
04:43There was nothing left to say.
04:53You were drunk.
04:54You came to the wrong place.
04:56Did I say anything I shouldn't have?
05:02Before she understood what was happening, Julian dragged her out the door.
05:07Where are you taking me?
05:08Chloe was in a car accident.
05:10She needs 1,000 cc of blood.
05:11You have the same rare type.
05:12Claire fell silent.
05:1410,000 cc.
05:15She might not survive.
05:16I'll donate.
05:18But for 1,000 cc, I want 100 million.
05:21You've never asked me for a cent.
05:22Why now?
05:23Fine.
05:23I'll write you an IUDU.
05:25I want it now.
05:26I want it now.
05:32A hundred million arrived faster than love ever had.
05:41Borrowed it from a rich friend?
05:42Yes.
05:43Now will you do it?
05:44Even now, he kept acting broke.
05:49By the time the bag was full, Claire's vision was already darkening.
05:55Mr. Ashford!
05:56The OR just called.
05:57They still need another 200 cc.
06:00Then take more.
06:02If we draw any more, she could die.
06:04Then let her die.
06:04I just want Chloe safe.
06:12Claire closed her eyes.
06:14This was the man she had loved with everything she had.
06:22Claire had not expected to wake up.
06:25You lost 1,200 cc.
06:28We almost lost you.
06:30I am okay.
06:31But something inside her had not survived.
06:34Julian never came.
06:35Chloe did.
06:36Every day.
06:38Through the phone.
06:39Look how gently he takes care of me.
06:44The knife still hurt.
06:45But it no longer cut as deep.
06:48Before leaving New York, Claire wanted one clean goodbye.
06:53Chloe invited everyone from college.
06:55It will be fun.
07:01But Chloe had planned something else.
07:03Chloe turned Claire's suffering into entertainment.
07:09If I had known you were divorced, I could have asked my uncle to leave you something.
07:15I'm all set to escape.
07:16So, there's nothing left to say.
07:24Claire, do you have time to be my bridesmaid?
07:26My uncle will be there too.
07:28The whole crowd's waiting for me to break down.
07:30But I won't.
07:31I gave Chloe no tears to enjoy.
07:35Congratulations.
07:36But I am busy.
07:37So, I will not attend.
07:42What wedding?
07:44It's nothing, Uncle Julian.
07:46You're here now.
07:46Let's go.
07:47But Julian, no move to leave.
07:48Instead, he held out his hand to Claire.
07:50Claire, come on.
07:51I'll take you home.
07:52That won't be necessary.
07:53We're already divorced.
07:55Sorry, I forgot.
07:56I'll take Chloe home first.
07:57Chloe seriously has the best life.
07:59A husband whose whole world revolves around her.
08:01Look at Claire.
08:01Just from being Chloe's roommate, she got to live the high life for two years.
08:04And what good did it do her?
08:05Two years of youth gone, not a dime to show for it.
08:07Humiliating.
08:08Claire stopped, then turned and took the stairs instead.
08:12So, you're the one who let word get out about my divorce from Claire.
08:15Did you not hear a single thing I told you?
08:16I just let it slip.
08:17It's not even a big deal.
08:18Are you really going to get mad at me?
08:20I'm not mad, but my divorce from Claire and my marriage do not things you're allowed to
08:22tell anyone.
08:23I really didn't mean to.
08:24Please don't be mad at me, okay?
08:25Don't let it happen again.
08:28Uncle Julia, you said you'd give me anything.
08:30I want to kiss you.
08:31Are you going to say yes?
08:32He did not say yes.
08:33He did not say no.
08:35He just wrapped an arm around her waist.
08:37Who said you could kiss me?
08:42I stayed alone in the corridor late at night for a very long time.
08:47When she got home, another message from Chloe was waiting.
08:51Photos of a three-bitten hours and a shirt smeared with lipstick.
08:55Chloe's words dripped with triumph.
08:57My passport and visa were ready.
09:02I turned to leave and crashed straight into Julian.
09:06What do you need a passport for?
09:07I nearly told him the truth.
09:09Chloe interrupted first.
09:11What a coincidence.
09:12Come have lunch with us.
09:13No thanks.
09:15I am not hungry.
09:17But Chloe refused to take no for an answer and practically dragged her along.
09:23Once in the car, Chloe ate like a child, scattering crumbs everywhere.
09:26When she complained about the seat, he pulled over and adjusted it for nearly half an hour.
09:31No scallions, no ginger, no garlic.
09:33Make sure the kitchen knows.
09:34Only love carved into the bone could look like that.
09:39I need to take this.
09:42Uncle Julian already agreed to a wedding in the Maldives.
09:44I just squeezed out a few tears and he said yes.
09:46He's completely hooked now.
09:47Every night he rushes home early.
09:48He holds me and kisses me like he can't get enough.
09:50Then congratulations.
09:51I hope you get exactly what you want and marry the person you love most.
09:54He knows perfectly well.
09:56I faked the cancer and he still chose me.
09:58Are you still too blind to see it?
10:00He loves me.
10:00Everything is crystal clear to me now.
10:03Chloe knew exactly when to fall.
10:10Claire made me finish a whole bottle of wine.
10:12Are you trying to kill her?
10:14I'm too tired to explain myself to someone who never wants to listen.
10:18If you've already decided it was me, then fine.
10:20Let it be me.
10:21If I finish this bottle, can I go?
10:22Julian never told her to stop.
10:24The moment the alcohol hit her stomach, her whole body began to react.
10:27The icy water rose over her face.
10:29Drop Rolt slid down like tears.
10:30But I didn't cry.
10:31All I felt was relief.
10:33He called it a business trip.
10:34I knew it was a wedding.
10:36When I come back, we can remarry.
10:44This time, their paths split for good.
10:49The sunlight in the Maldedives was flawless, and Julian gave Chloe a lavish wedding there.
10:54To have and to hold from this day forward.
11:01Husband, we should go toast the guests.
11:03So many people showed up today.
11:04Guests kept praising them as a perfect match.
11:07Glowed with happiness.
11:08For a second, the woman he thought he had seen at the airport flashed through Julian's mind again.
11:12Husband, I'm finally yours.
11:14I've loved you for so long.
11:14Listening to her sluttered confession, Julian's eyes softened with indulgent fondness.
11:19Husband.
11:19After a wedding night, wild enough to blur into dawn, Julian woke to find Chloe, sleeping peacefully in his arms.
11:25But the truth was, he kept thinking about Claire.
11:28Husband.
11:29She had become like a shadow.
11:31Today, he was going back.
11:32He found himself impatient to see Claire.
11:34Guys, I'm gonna remarry Claire when we get back.
11:37It's gonna be a surprise.
11:38Relax, Julian.
11:39We got you.
11:40We won't say a word.
11:41When Claire finds out, she's gonna lose her mind.
11:43In a good way.
11:45Kinda sucks for Chloe, though.
11:48Husband, can't we just stay together forever?
11:50I told you before.
11:51We only had one month.
11:53Chloe, I'm your uncle.
11:54One month was already pushing it.
11:55Then Uncle Julian, do me one more time.
11:57It's still early.
11:58Seeing Claire a little later won't matter.
12:00That innocent look drew a low laugh out of him, and he pinched her cheek.
12:04One last time, babe.
12:06Sated and thoroughly pleased, Julian straightened his shirt and prepared to leave.
12:11He thought of Claire waiting in that tiny rental.
12:14A faint smile touched his lips.
12:17He didn't know that she was already gone.
12:21Julian pushed open the car door and signaled for Chloe to get out.
12:25Stop.
12:25Husband, it's still early.
12:26I told you from the start.
12:27We had one month.
12:29That month is over.
12:30This ends here.
12:35After parking in the Hilton garage, Julian skipped the lobby and headed straight upstairs.
12:40His clothes were wrinkled beyond saving.
12:42Hey, Julian, relax.
12:43We already came up with the story.
12:44Claire's hopelessly in love with you.
12:46She'll never suspect a thing.
12:47Shut up.
12:50The second he saw more than 20 missed calls, his heart slammed hard against his ribs.
12:56Julian, Claire's gone.
12:58Each word exploded in his ears like thunder.
13:00The blood in his body seemed to rush backward.
13:03He remembered the woman at the airport.
13:05Julian, there's nothing.
13:07Not even a strand of hair.
13:08No one named Claire on any departure list.
13:10All he got was the cold message that her phone was off.
13:13The text bounced back with red exclamation marks.
13:16The apartment was empty.
13:18The windows stood wide open, curtains lifting in the sunlight.
13:20Their photos were gone.
13:22Every trace that Claire had ever lived there had vanished.
13:24Like a madman, he searched for proof that she had loved him.
13:27He found nothing.
13:28His eyes reddened, and he could not understand why his heart hurt this much.
13:31Not until his gaze landed on the divorce certificate lying on the table did the pain drove in deep.
13:36Julian picked it up, his fingers trembling.
13:38Their names were printed there, clear and cruel.
13:40For the first time, true suffocation set in.
13:42She was really gone.
13:43He closed his eyes.
13:44Nothing left but the wind and his broken breathing.
13:49Maybe Claire had known all along.
13:54I was wrong.
13:55Hit me.
13:56Scream at me.
13:57Just do not leave me.
14:01But repentance had no listener.
14:03Julian, get it together.
14:04Just track her phone.
14:05If we find the phone, we find her.
14:06That suggestion finally dragged a sliver of reason back into him.
14:10He ordered Morgan to investigate.
14:11An hour passed.
14:13It felt like a lifetime.
14:14He sat like a statue carved out of shock.
14:17We found Miss Hollis' phone.
14:18He snatched a phone and fumbled to power it on.
14:20Those few seconds stretched into pure torture.
14:23If Uncle Julian comes after you,
14:24his second I call him throw you running back to me.
14:26Rage flashed through him so violently,
14:29his vision nearly went black.
14:30This couldn't be the only one.
14:32There had to be more.
14:33Every social media account had been wiped clean.
14:35The contacts too.
14:36All except one name.
14:37Chloe Fairmich.
14:38The newest message was a video.
14:40Sent that very afternoon.
14:41Filmed in the car.
14:42Couldn't bring himself to press.
14:44He scrolled up.
14:45Three or four videos.
14:46Every single day.
14:48Messages from Chloe filled the screen.
14:50Taunting.
14:50Gloating.
14:51Vicious.
14:51Every single one a knife.
14:53Claire had silently taken.
14:54Rage swallowed every last shred of reason.
14:56There was only one thought left.
14:58Find Chloe and make her pay.
14:59Then a sound came from outside.
15:01His heart slammed against his ribs.
15:02Was Claire back?
15:05Claire.
15:06But it wasn't Claire.
15:09Mr. Ashford.
15:09We found the flight she left on.
15:11It was heading to France.
15:13Julian looked at her name on the paper.
15:14His shattered expression slowly hardened into cold, reckless resolve.
15:19Chloe came to gloat over a woman who was already gone.
15:26I warned you not to provoke Claire.
15:29Is this what you call listening?
15:31For the first time, her tears did not protect her.
15:36Her own phone told the rest of the story.
15:42I only did it because I love you too much.
15:45Please do not be mad.
15:47Love was the mask she used for cruelty.
15:50Claire had swallowed all of it until the day she left without a word.
15:57How many times did I make her watch this?
16:02He finally saw Chloe without the fantasy.
16:05The title she stole finally turned poisonous.
16:09I am your uncle, not your husband.
16:12You married me.
16:14You came running to me.
16:16Does that not mean you like me?
16:17Her question was cruel because it was true.
16:20Rage became violence before anyone could stop it.
16:24Julian, calm down.
16:25The most important thing is finding Claire.
16:30Only Claire's name pulled him back from the edge.
16:35Even broken on the floor, Chloe still wanted one answer.
16:40Did you ever feel anything for me?
16:43I married you to grant your wish.
16:45Nothing more.
16:46The lie she built her life on collapsed.
16:50What about the way you kissed me?
16:53What about when you slept beside me?
16:57His answer was a slap.
17:01Chloe's final weapon was the truth.
17:04You spoiled me.
17:05You divorced her for me.
17:07You let me do all of this.
17:13He could punish Chloe, but he could not escape himself.
17:16Chloe could not accept it.
17:18That very same day, with public opinion already exploding online,
17:23Chloe suddenly went live.
17:24My uncle, we're truly in love.
17:26He's already be prayed to the man I love.
17:28Nothing can stop us.
17:31That night, Julian boarded a flight to France.
17:34He carried only a briefcase and a divorce certificate pressed against his heart.
17:39In the dim cabin light, he traced her name again, Claire Hollis.
17:42Every letter of wound.
17:43The playing, a man who had finally understood what he lost.
17:47By morning, Ashford Group answered.
17:51Julian Ashford has only ever loved Claire Hollis.
17:54Chloe Fairland will apologize for everything she has done.
18:00She did not make it past the door.
18:05Everything I did was so we could be together.
18:07When did I ever say,
18:10I would be with you?
18:13He named every debt she owed Claire.
18:18You framed her, ruined her hands, and drove her into despair.
18:22Now learn consequences.
18:26No one outside would know what happened there.
18:29A week later, her account posted again.
18:32I framed Claire Hollis.
18:34I faked my illness.
18:35I was the mistress.
18:37Claire, I was wrong.
18:40The internet heard terror and treated it like entertainment.
18:45Punishing Chloe did not bring Claire home.
18:50It should not feel empty when you come back.
18:54So he rebuilt a home for a woman who had erased the address.
18:59His people searched every trail and found nothing.
19:07There is still no confirmed location for Miss Hollis.
19:10Claire had become the only thing.
19:12Julian could not buy back.
19:15The apology had been out for days.
19:17Julian's men never stopped searching.
19:19But Claire Hollis had vanished like she never existed.
19:21If only I had come to my senses sooner.
19:23If only I hadn't indulged Chloe again and again.
19:25He imagined countless endings.
19:26Each softer and sadder than the last.
19:28Claire was gone.
19:29She was no longer by his side.
19:31His friends entered and exchanged uneasy looks.
19:33They thought they could cheer him up.
19:34They didn't understand.
19:36Maybe she's just waiting for you to chase after her.
19:38Once she sees you're not desperate, she'll come crawling back.
19:40Every word was shallow and arrogant.
19:43None of them believed a man like this could love only one woman.
19:46They didn't understand his regret.
19:47To them, she was just Claire Hollis.
19:49A woman who loved Julian too much.
19:50A woman who would obediently come back.
19:52Claire Hollis is my life.
19:53If I hear more word-dispecting swear I'll make your family's pay every last one of you.
19:56Silence crashed down.
19:57It wasn't just the madness on his face.
19:59It was the fact that he could actually do it.
20:02Why is Julian acting like some tragic lover now?
20:05Back when he had Chloe, he never once put Claire first.
20:07He didn't believe Julian would reject her.
20:10Before long, a girl arrived who looked somewhat like her.
20:12Claire.
20:13In the dim lighting, the resemblance was enough to blur at first glance.
20:16Claire?
20:17No.
20:17You're not her.
20:18Get out.
20:19He stared at the impostody, eyes hardening.
20:21She was nothing like Claire.
20:22The shape was there, but the soul was all wrong.
20:25The girl fled.
20:26Julian was left alone again, the room emptier than before.
20:29I will find you, Claire.
20:30No matter where you are.
20:32No matter how long it takes.
20:35The regret was still there.
20:37But now it was fuel.
20:38He would search the world if he had to.
20:40The resemblance became a trigger, not a comfort.
20:45Julian, stop!
20:47You are going to kill her!
20:48He could no longer tell guilt from enemy.
20:51When the girl escaped, his fury found everyone else.
20:54This is all your fault.
20:56Claire would not have left if it were not for you!
21:02Every bottle became a confession he could not bear to hear.
21:06Days without sleep, nights full of alcohol, and one vanished woman finally broke him.
21:12Call an ambulance!
21:13Now!
21:17The heir of Ashford Group fell in his own wreckage.
21:21When he woke, only one name mattered.
21:28Claire?
21:30Is she back yet?
21:31Have you lost your mind over one woman?
21:34The family finally saw the cost.
21:36The scandal had escaped the private room.
21:40Julian Ashford faked bankruptcy, divorced his loyal wife, and crossed the line with his own niece.
21:48Power did not keep shame from spreading.
21:51To contain the damage, the Ashford family removed him from power.
21:55Until further notice, you are suspended from all duties.
22:01Julian lost the company and still only feared losing Claire forever.
22:06Months passed.
22:07First, Claire did not return.
22:10Claire, I was wrong.
22:12Please come back.
22:18Every morning made the same lie harder to believe.
22:21Then even his body began to leave him.
22:24You need treatment immediately.
22:27The condition is serious.
22:33Julian realized he might not have long left.
22:36He kept speaking into a silence that never answered.
22:40Miss Fair kieft is pregnant, and we found a shop owner in the Maldives who looks like Miss Hollis.
22:45Hope and horror arrived in the same call.
22:48Before flying to Claire, Julian wanted to erase the last consequence of Chloe.
22:53Get rid of it.
22:57Did you ever love me?
23:00His silence answered everything.
23:03He crossed oceans on a body that was already failing.
23:10Just once.
23:11Wait for me, Claire.
23:14But Claire's life had already moved towards someone else.
23:18Six months ago, I came to the seaside to start my life new.
23:23Hyasrith means hope and rebirth.
23:25I want you to have Antalem.
23:27I want you to have beautiful things forever.
23:30The woman Julian lost was learning how to bloom.
23:34In the Maldives, Claire built a life that smelled of coffee, sugar, and sea wind.
23:41Miss Claire, your tattoo is so pretty.
23:44Thank you, sweetheart.
23:46Every small kindness stitched her back together.
23:49When she first arrived in the Maldives, life had been nowhere near us.
23:56I'd lost my paper.
23:58Danger loomed close, and the wrist that sacrificed blood for Julian was ripped apart in the woods.
24:04Ethan Holloway found her while he was out painting.
24:11Stay with me.
24:12You are safe now.
24:14Asking for no blood, no obedience, no disappearance.
24:21Ethan turned the scar into a flower.
24:26I want every day of your life to be the life you choose.
24:30I trusted him.
24:32Little by little, I found myself waiting for the sound of his footsteps.
24:39Shh.
24:40I have a huge surprise today.
24:41What is it this time?
24:47He remembered the birthday no one had bothered to celebrate for me all those years.
24:54Claire, happy birthday.
24:55I do.
24:56For the first time in a long time, Claire chose love without fear.
24:59Across the ocean, he finally reached the place that smelled like a new life.
25:05This place.
25:10Warmth hurt more than emptiness.
25:14He saw her hands before her face.
25:17Then he heard her voice.
25:22An iced Americano with orange soda, please.
25:24Of course.
25:25It may take a few minutes.
25:27There was no mistaking that voice.
25:30Claire turned around, and the past stood in front of her.
25:36Claire.
25:38Only under her calm eyes did he remember how she used to look at him.
25:43Then Ethan walked through the door with a paper bag.
25:47Claire!
25:47I got out early.
25:49I brought the tacos you were craving.
25:54Julian saw her smile before he understood who Ethan was.
25:58Their intimacy was not performed for anyone.
26:01That made it worse.
26:03Why are you two this lovey-duggy every day?
26:08Julian stood outside a happiness that could have been his.
26:12Help me take care of the customers, will you?
26:14Julian stood there, rooted to the spot.
26:17She didn't look back.
26:19Not once.
26:20He had crossed oceans to find her.
26:22But the Claire he had lost was no longer here.
26:25She had rebuilt herself somewhere he couldn't reach.
26:29Across the ocean, he finally reached the place that smelled like a new life.
26:35This place.
26:40Warmth hurt more than emptiness.
26:44He saw her hands before her face.
26:47Then he heard her voice.
26:52An iced Americano with orange soda, please.
26:54Of course.
26:55It may take a few minutes.
26:57There was no mistaking that voice.
27:00Claire turned around, and the past stood in front of her.
27:06Claire.
27:08Only under her calm eyes did he remember how she used to look at him.
27:13Then Ethan walked through the door with a paper bag.
27:17Claire!
27:17I got out early.
27:19I brought the tacos you were craving.
27:24Julian saw her smile before he understood who Ethan was.
27:33Why are you two this lovey-duggy every day?
27:39Julian stood outside a happiness that could have been his.
27:43Help me take care of the customers, will you?
27:44Julian stood there, rooted to the spot.
27:47She didn't look back.
27:49Not once.
27:50He had crossed oceans to find her.
27:52But the Claire he had lost was no longer here.
27:55She had rebuilt herself somewhere he couldn't reach.
27:59Ethan barely touched him, but Julian collapsed like a hollow shell.
28:07Watch the cafe for me.
28:08I will explain tonight.
28:10Ethan, stay here.
28:12There were some things she had to dismiss on her own.
28:15The little house by the sea was everything she once wanted.
28:21How have you been lately?
28:27He had no place in the answer.
28:29He asked for the smallest place in her life.
28:34Could you let me stay by your side?
28:36Even as a friend?
28:38There is no need.
28:39My boyfriend gets jealous easily.
28:41She said boyfriend as gently as a door closing.
28:44Before letting him leave, Claire gave him the truth she had never cared to see.
28:48I worked more than a dozen jobs.
28:51I had a fever, infected knees, and I still did not cry.
28:55I only wanted to lighten your burden.
28:57Then she learned the burden was staged.
29:00Every bit of warmth he remembered had existed
29:02because Claire gave it to him.
29:07I am sorry.
29:08I am so sorry.
29:10Sorry could not resurrect love.
29:12Claire had no hatred left strong enough to hold him.
29:17Wipe your face and go home.
29:21The mercy was not forgiveness yet.
29:25It was distance.
29:30Claire had once taught herself violin in borrowed hours.
29:35Did you get everything ready?
29:38All set.
29:40This time, no one locked her away from the world.
29:43Music had once gone straight into her heart.
29:48I want to learn this.
29:54Then humiliation and control pushed the sound out of her life.
29:58She walked slowly, but she walked like someone who knew where she was going.
30:03Claire!
30:03Claire!
30:04Ethan, this way!
30:06Every step was forward now.
30:09The violin began like grief.
30:17Then the piano entered like a hand reaching through the dark.
30:25For several seconds, no one moved.
30:30That was beautiful.
30:36Then the world finally heard what survival sounded like.
30:43Backstage, the grand moment became wonderfully ordinary.
30:47I was so nervous.
30:48Seeing you act serious almost made me laugh.
30:50I was nervous, too.
30:52Love, at last, could be light.
30:55Ethan kept every tiny wish she had ever spoken a load.
31:00Open it and see.
31:02Another impossible dream fit in her hands.
31:05The little family formed before either of them named it.
31:07Then I guess I have two babies now.
31:11I want to name her baby.
31:13For a single moment, I held the whole world in my hands.
31:18Night fell warm and ordinary.
31:20That was what made the next second cruel.
31:23Careful, the curb is right there.
31:30Then headlights tore through the dark.
31:33Claire had no time to move.
31:35Ethan moved for her.
31:37Ethan!
31:38The distance was only a few yards.
31:40It felt like a lifetime.
31:44You have to hold on.
31:45Please!
31:47Hold on!
31:489-1-1!
31:49Someone call 9-1-1!
31:50She had only just learned how happiness felt.
31:54The siren sounded like a death sentence.
32:00It is not looking good.
32:02Family should prepare for the worst.
32:04Claire pressed herself against the operating room door and prayed.
32:08An entire night passed before the operating room light went dark.
32:12He has multiple camunculated fractures, a ruptured spleen, massive internal bleeding, and a clotting disorder.
32:18We transfuted 1,600 cc to stabilize him.
32:21Every sentence pushed Claire closer to the floor.
32:24The worst injury was not from the truck.
32:26The tumor is only about 3 millimeters, but it is in an extremely dangerous location.
32:31The only real option is a heart transplant.
32:33My blood type matches his.
32:35Take anything he needs.
32:38I want to offer my heart in exchange for Ethan's recovery.
32:43He had given her a second life.
32:45She was ready to return it.
32:47The form was thin.
32:48The choice was enormous.
32:51Are you absolutely sure?
32:52Yes.
32:53And if possible, I want him to forget me and start a new life.
32:57The surgery would be scheduled after a full physical, but in Claire's heart, the goodbye had already begun.
33:02Hospitals, blood, sirens, everything dragged Claire back into terror.
33:07I heard what happened.
33:09I just wanted to see you one last time.
33:11I do not have the energy to deal with you.
33:13Not now.
33:15He knew even her pain no longer belonged to him.
33:17She could still cry, smile, love, and ache.
33:21None of it was for him.
33:24I am leaving Claire Hollis.
33:29This time, at last, he did not turn back.
33:34Claire came to say goodbye.
33:35The only way she could still stay calm.
33:38Happiness and suffering both come to an end.
33:42When the time comes, you have to forget me.
33:45She had never sounded so steady, or so broken.
33:49Then the man she was ready to die for answered.
33:53No.
33:55I only want you.
33:57Do not leave me.
33:58You finally woke up.
34:00Do you know how scared I was?
34:02Hope returned with his voice.
34:04The injuries that should have been impossible to heal had somehow turned stable.
34:09His functions are stable.
34:11With observation, he may be discharged in a few days.
34:15Claire thought her own surgery had not even begun.
34:18So who had saved him?
34:19Freshly awake, Ethan would not let her fingers go.
34:22If it happened a hundred more times, I would still step in front of you.
34:27Idiot.
34:27Never do that again.
34:29Baby is waiting at home.
34:32She smiled because he could still be scolded.
34:34There was only one explanation left to hide.
34:39One hour after you signed your consent form, Mr. Ashford insisted on giving his heart to Mr. Holloway.
34:43He told us not to tell you.
34:44Where is he?
34:45She had planned to trade her life away.
34:48Julian had already gone first.
34:49He said he finally repaid what he owed you, and he hoped you would be happy forever.
34:53Before he died, Julian left one message.
34:56I am leaving.
34:57She would never deny the pain he caused.
35:00But in the end, she chose to forgive him and keep living.
35:05When Ethan was discharged, he acted like he had escaped a rainforest.
35:10I dreamed I turned into a mushroom with morsh on my head. Horrifying.
35:14No intense activity.
35:16Beach volleyball is postponed.
35:18Ordinary teasing had never sounded so precious.
35:20The accident left Ethan with a scar, too.
35:23He wanted it to match hers.
35:25Do you like this design?
35:27That is way too lazy.
35:28I stayed up all night designing yours.
35:30It's not lazy.
35:31It's us.
35:32Simple.
35:32Forever.
35:34So Clara told him what the design meant.
35:36She had once thought she was a wildflower trapped below a cliff.
35:40Then you came like a little sun.
35:42You helped me bloom.
35:45Ethan Holloway, thank you for coming into my life.
35:48This time, gratitude did not mean goodbye.
35:50No one could say who moved first.
36:01At last, there was no one left who could tear them apart.
36:05The cafe opened again, and life came back with laughter.
36:11After a great disaster comes great fortune.
36:14Your good days are just starting.
36:17Claire looked around and saw every piece of home.
36:21She had reclaimed her violin, adopted a little cat, built a home by the sea, and found someone
36:26worthy of leaning on.
36:27I went totech.
36:27I have NICK hr, but now I was a man.
36:27I'm a plan.
36:27I went to the bar.
36:28I'm a high teacher, but now I think you'll make me feel a little bit unsure.
