00:00:24To be continued...

00:00:30You should move out for now. Clara can't handle any stimulation.

00:00:34I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her. It's not convenient for you to stay.

00:00:39What if Clara never gets her memory back? Are you planning to play along with her forever?

00:00:44She's your sister. She's in terrible shape right now. Just give her some space.

00:00:50Go pack. Don't take too much. I'll have someone deal with the rest.

00:00:52He walked into the living room and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.

00:00:55Take that too. Clara doesn't like this style. I'll buy you a new one another day.

00:00:59That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.

00:01:02For five years of marriage, I wiped it clean every week.

00:01:04So in his eyes, it had been ready to throw away all along.

00:01:08Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.

00:01:11I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.

00:01:14When I came back, the designer had already arrived.

00:01:17Carter was giving instructions.

00:01:32Clear out all the sticky notes you left.

00:01:35Your sister knows your handwriting. Don't make her overthink.

00:01:38I stood in the entryway, watching the home I had lived in for five years slowly turn into another woman's.

00:01:43It wasn't that Carter didn't have time. He just didn't have time for me.

00:01:46I turned to leave.

00:01:47As I passed the study, I caught sight of a half-open drawer.

00:01:50Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn.

00:01:52The scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.

00:01:54I thought he had thrown it away.

00:01:55I reached out to pull the drawer open.

00:01:57Chloe.

00:01:59Chloe.

00:02:00Why are you still here?

00:02:02I didn't answer.

00:02:03I picked up the bag that held only a few changes of clothes and walked out of the house that

00:02:08had once been mine.

00:02:13At the gate, I texted a real estate agent I hadn't contacted in a long time.

00:02:19Find me an apartment downtown as soon as possible.

00:02:21Don't tell my husband.

00:02:26When I checked into the Marriott downtown, Carter called.

00:02:30There's a college reunion tonight.

00:02:32Our old professor will be there.

00:02:34I'll take you and your sister.

00:02:36Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.

00:02:38He hung up after that without the slightest concern for me.

00:02:42That evening, I returned to my own home as a guest.

00:02:45Carter opened the door.

00:02:48The therapist said familiar things could help Clara recover.

00:02:52I didn't respond.

00:02:54A sour ache spread through my chest.

00:02:57Clara came downstairs, linked her arm through Carter's, and smiled at me.

00:03:02Chloe, you're still the same as in college.

00:03:05Always tagging along.

00:03:07All right.

00:03:07Stop teasing her.

00:03:18Remember freshman year at the football game?

00:03:20We were chosen as squad leaders.

00:03:22We secretly held hands and someone posted the photo on the forum.

00:03:25Of course I remember.

00:03:28And the spring formal.

00:03:30We hosted it together.

00:03:32Chloe was there too, right?

00:03:34I was.

00:03:35In the audience.

00:03:37Back then, they were upstairs.

00:03:39I was below it.

00:03:40Even after I married Carter, I was still the invisible person in their story.

00:03:45In the private dining room, our classmates started cheering.

00:03:48The party queen and the fraternity president are here.

00:03:51Still holding hands?

00:03:53When are we getting invitations?

00:03:57I thought I heard Carter was married.

00:04:01You must have heard wrong, professor.

00:04:03I'm not married.

00:04:05Not yet.

00:04:07But soon.

00:04:10I looked away and took a sip of wine.

00:04:13It tasted bitter.

00:04:14After a few rounds of drinks, a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.

00:04:19Chloe, are you seeing anyone?

00:04:20I always wanted to ask you out back in college.

00:04:25I'm married.

00:04:27I've been married for five years.

00:04:31That was when I suddenly understood.

00:04:34I had signed my own ticket to hell.

00:04:41You're married?

00:04:43To who?

00:04:45Her husband is a programmer at my company.

00:04:48He probably has to work late tonight.

00:04:50Right.

00:04:50That makes sense.

00:04:51No offense, but you and your sister were never on the same level.

00:04:56Chloe, you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime.

00:05:03Sure.

00:05:05When there's a chance.

00:05:08I couldn't sit there any longer, so I excused myself to the restroom.

00:05:12I was about to go back when I turned and met Carter's eyes.

00:05:15He had followed me out.

00:05:17Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.

00:05:19Give me the keys.

00:05:20What about me?

00:05:22It's pouring outside.

00:05:23If you take the car, how am I supposed to get back?

00:05:26My car is with the driver for maintenance.

00:05:28Clara's in bad shape.

00:05:29Give her some space.

00:05:30Wait for an Uber.

00:05:32Give.

00:05:33Since we were children, I gave Clara everything she wanted.

00:05:37I gave and gave until I even gave away my husband.

00:05:40I waited in the restaurant until closing, but no Uber accepted the ride.

00:05:45It was past midnight when I finally hailed a car.

00:05:49I had just gotten in when my phone buzzed.

00:05:51It was a work message from Carter.

00:05:52The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.

00:05:55Go to the office and handle it.

00:05:56I was still his executive assistant.

00:05:59I told the driver to head to the office, but one encrypted key needed for the project

00:06:03was in his study.

00:06:04He didn't answer my calls.

00:06:06He didn't reply to my messages.

00:06:08I had no choice but to go home.

00:06:11No one answered the doorbell, so I entered the passcode and pushed the door open.

00:06:22Why are you here?

00:06:23Didn't I tell you not to come back before Claire recovers her memory?

00:06:26If she finds out about us, everything will be for nothing.

00:06:29I took out my phone and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.

00:06:33The project you told me to handle needs the key file.

00:06:36You didn't answer a single call.

00:06:40So helping Claire recover her memory requires taking your clothes off.

00:06:44My clothes got wet.

00:06:46You've always been sensible.

00:06:48Don't make a fuss over something so small.

00:06:50Sensible.

00:06:51So I deserve to swallow every grievance.

00:06:53To wait all night in the rain for a ride.

00:06:55To be called into work in the middle of the night.

00:06:58To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.

00:07:00For the first time, I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter was not just my youth, but myself.

00:07:05I'll carry Claire to the bedroom first.

00:07:07Go get the file from the study.

00:07:09Be quiet.

00:07:16I stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway.

00:07:20Then I went into the study and got the key file.

00:07:23But I was so tired.

00:07:24I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

00:07:27So the first thing I printed at the printer wasn't the proposal.

00:07:31It was my resignation letter.

00:07:34Near dawn, I sent the real estate agent a second message.

00:07:38Have you settled the apartment?

00:07:40I need to move in within the next two days.

00:07:43At daybreak, I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes and was about to return to the hotel.

00:07:49Clara found our marriage certificate.

00:07:50She's threatening to jump.

00:07:51Come back now.

00:07:52My mother's call came right after.

00:07:54Why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out?

00:07:56You just can't stand to see your sister happy.

00:07:59Can't you apologize for once?

00:08:00If anything happens to Clara, don't ever call me your mother again.

00:08:11I wasn't even surprised anymore.

00:08:13Ever since we were children, whenever Clara was unhappy, I was the one who got blamed.

00:08:18I rushed to the community.

00:08:20I had barely reached the police line when Clara pointed at me and screamed.

00:08:24How could you marry behind my back at City Hall?

00:08:28The two people I loved most betrayed me together.

00:08:31Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.

00:08:43Before I could even breathe, a powerful force slammed into me.

00:08:48I had just propped myself up.

00:08:51I don't know someone like you.

00:08:53I don't have a daughter like you.

00:09:00My hands shook as I called 911.

00:09:02Then everything went black.

00:09:05When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed.

00:09:09You were a little over six weeks pregnant.

00:09:11You've just had a miscarriage.

00:09:13We'll keep you under observation for an hour.

00:09:16After observation ended, I took my medication and slowly walked out.

00:09:20In the second floor hallway, I ran into Carter.

00:09:24Your sister has been traumatized.

00:09:26She can't see you right now.

00:09:29My mother and I will take good care of her.

00:09:31Of course I knew.

00:09:32And once again, he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.

00:09:36If he cared even a little, he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.

00:09:39I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist.

00:09:42There's something else I need to tell you.

00:09:45Let's get divorced.

00:09:47Let's get divorced.

00:09:56My sister was injured and lost her memory.

00:09:59She forgot everyone except my husband, Carter Hayes.

00:10:02She believed he was her boyfriend.

00:10:04My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway,

00:10:07clutching my arm and begging me to give Carter back to my sister.

00:10:13It's only temporary.

00:10:14Once her memory comes back, everything will go back to normal.

00:10:16But he didn't know that the moment he nodded,

00:10:19some things could never go back.

00:10:22Chloe, you should move out for now.

00:10:24Clara can't handle any stimulation.

00:10:27I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.

00:10:29It's not convenient for you to stay.

00:10:32What if Clara never gets her memory back?

00:10:34Are you planning to play along with her forever?

00:10:37She's your sister.

00:11:07When I came back, the designer had already arrived.

00:11:10Carter was giving instructions.

00:11:14He went into the study and tore down my sticky notes one by one, crumpled them, and tossed

00:11:24them into the trash.

00:11:26Clear out all the sticky notes you left.

00:11:28Your sister knows your handwriting.

00:11:30Don't make her overthink.

00:11:31I stood in the entryway, watching the home I had lived in for five years slowly turn into

00:13:06Stanford.

00:13:07Carter led Clara across the main quad.

00:13:11Remember freshman year at the football game?

00:13:13We were chosen as squad leaders.

00:13:15We secretly held hands and someone posted the photo on the forum.

00:19:22My mother and I will take good care of her.

00:19:24Of course I knew.

00:19:25And once again,

00:19:26he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.

00:19:28If he cared even a little,

00:19:30he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.

00:19:32I turned to leave,

00:19:33but he grabbed my wrist.

00:19:35There's something else I need to tell you.

00:19:37Let's get divorced.

00:19:49My sister was injured and lost her memory.

00:19:51She forgot everyone,

00:19:53except my husband,

00:19:54Carter Hayes.

00:19:55She believed he was her boyfriend.

00:19:57My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway,

00:20:00clutching my arm and begging me to give Carter back to my sister.

00:20:06It's only temporary.

00:20:07Once her memory comes back,

00:20:08everything will go back to normal.

00:20:09But he didn't know that the moment he nodded,

00:20:12some things could never go back.

00:20:15Chloe,

00:20:15you should move out for now.

00:20:16Clara can't handle any stimulation.

00:20:20I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.

00:20:22It's not convenient for you to stay.

00:20:24What if Clara never gets her memory back?

00:20:27Are you planning to play along with her forever?

00:20:29She's your sister.

00:20:30She's in terrible shape right now.

00:20:32Just give her some space.

00:20:35Go pack.

00:20:36Don't take too much.

00:20:37I'll have someone deal with the rest.

00:20:38He walked into the living room

00:20:39and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.

00:20:41Take that too.

00:20:41Clara doesn't like this style.

00:20:42I'll buy you a new one another day.

00:20:44That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.

00:20:47For five years of marriage,

00:20:49I wiped it clean every week.

00:20:50So in his eyes,

00:20:51it had been ready to throw away all along.

00:20:53Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.

00:20:56I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.

00:20:59When I came back,

00:21:01the designer had already arrived.

00:21:03Carter was giving instructions.

00:21:05Persian cashmere rugs.

00:21:07Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.

00:21:10He went into the study

00:21:11and tore down my sticky notes one by one,

00:21:15crumpled them,

00:21:15and tossed them into the trash.

00:21:18Clear out all the sticky notes you left.

00:21:21Your sister knows your handwriting.

00:21:23Don't make her overthink.

00:21:24I stood in the entryway,

00:21:25watching the home I had lived in for five years

00:21:27slowly turn into another woman's.

00:21:29It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.

00:21:31He just didn't have time for me.

00:21:32I turned to leave.

00:21:33As I passed the study,

00:21:34I caught sight of a half-open drawer.

00:21:36Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn,

00:21:38the scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.

00:21:40I thought he had thrown it away.

00:21:41I reached out to pull the drawer open.

00:21:43Chloe,

00:21:45why are you still here?

00:21:47I didn't answer.

00:21:49I picked up the bag

00:21:50that held only a few changes of clothes

00:21:52and walked out of the house

00:21:53that had once been mine.

00:21:58At the gate,

00:21:59I texted a real estate agent

00:22:01I hadn't contacted in a long time.

00:22:04Find me an apartment downtown

00:22:06as soon as possible.

00:22:07Don't tell my husband.

00:22:12When I checked into the Marriott downtown,

00:22:15Carter called.

00:22:16There's a college reunion tonight.

00:22:18Our old professor will be there.

00:22:20I'll take you and your sister.

00:22:21Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.

00:22:24He hung up after that

00:22:25without the slightest concern for me.

00:22:27That evening,

00:22:28I returned to my own home as a guest.

00:22:31Carter opened the door.

00:22:33The therapist said

00:22:35familiar things could help Clara recover.

00:22:38I didn't respond.

00:22:40A sour ache spread through my chest.

00:22:43Clara came downstairs,

00:22:44linked her arm through Carter's,

00:22:46and smiled at me.

00:22:48Chloe,

00:22:48you're still the same as in college.

00:22:51Always tagging along.

00:22:52All right.

00:22:53Stop teasing her.

00:22:59Stanford.

00:23:00Carter led Clara across the main quad.

00:23:04Remember freshman year at the football game?

00:23:06We were chosen as squad leaders.

00:23:08We secretly held hands

00:23:09and someone posted the photo on the forum.

00:23:11Of course I remember.

00:23:14And the spring formal.

00:23:16We hosted it together.

00:23:18Chloe was there too, right?

00:23:20I was.

00:23:21In the audience.

00:23:23Back then,

00:23:23they were upstairs.

00:23:25I was below it.

00:23:26Even after I married Carter,

00:23:28I was still the invisible person in their story.

00:23:30In the private dining room,

00:23:32our classmates started cheering.

00:23:34The party queen and the fraternity president are here!

00:23:37Still holding hands?

00:23:38When are we getting invitations?

00:23:42I thought I heard Carter was married.

00:23:47You must have heard wrong, professor.

00:23:49I'm not married.

00:23:51Not yet.

00:23:52But soon.

00:23:55I looked away and took a sip of wine.

00:23:58It tasted bitter.

00:24:00After a few rounds of drinks,

00:24:01a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.

00:24:04Chloe, are you seeing anyone?

00:24:06I always wanted to ask you out back in college.

00:24:10I'm married.

00:24:12I've been married for five years.

00:24:17That was when I suddenly understood.

00:24:20I had signed my own ticket to hell.

00:24:27You're married?

00:24:28To who?

00:24:31Her husband is a programmer at my company.

00:24:33He probably has to work late tonight.

00:24:35Right.

00:24:36That makes sense.

00:24:37No offense, but you and your sister

00:24:39were never on the same level.

00:24:42Chloe, you should bring your husband out

00:24:44to meet us sometime.

00:24:49Sure.

00:24:50When there's a chance.

00:24:53I couldn't sit there any longer,

00:24:55so I excused myself to the restroom.

00:24:58I was about to go back

00:24:59when I turned and met Carter's eyes.

00:25:01He had followed me out.

00:25:03Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.

00:25:05Give me the keys.

00:25:06What about me?

00:25:07It's pouring outside.

00:25:09If you take the car,

00:25:10how am I supposed to get back?

00:25:11My car is with the driver for maintenance.

00:25:14Clara's in bad shape.

00:25:15Give her some space.

00:25:16Wait for an Uber.

00:25:18Give.

00:25:19Since we were children,

00:25:20I gave Clara everything she wanted.

00:25:22I gave and gave

00:25:24until I even gave away my husband.

00:25:26I waited in the restaurant until closing,

00:25:28but no Uber accepted the ride.

00:25:31It was past midnight

00:25:32when I finally hailed a car.

00:25:34I had just gotten in

00:25:35when my phone buzzed.

00:25:37It was a work message from Carter.

00:25:38The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.

00:25:41Go to the office and handle it.

00:25:42I was still his executive assistant.

00:25:44I told the driver to head to the office,

00:25:46but one encrypted key

00:25:48needed for the project

00:25:49was in his study.

00:25:50He didn't answer my calls.

00:25:51He didn't reply to my messages.

00:25:54I had no choice but to go home.

00:25:57No one answered the doorbell,

00:25:59so I entered the passcode

00:26:00and pushed the door open.

00:26:08Why are you here?

00:26:09Didn't I tell you not to come back

00:26:10before Clara recovers her memory?

00:26:12If she finds out about us,

00:26:13everything will be for nothing.

00:26:15I took out my phone

00:26:16and held up the dozen missed calls

00:26:18in front of him.

00:26:18The project you told me to handle

00:26:20needs the key file.

00:26:21You didn't answer

00:26:22a single call.

00:26:26So helping Clara recover her memory

00:26:27requires taking your clothes off.

00:26:30My clothes got wet.

00:26:32You've always been sensible.

00:26:33Don't make a fuss

00:26:34over something so small.

00:26:36Sensible.

00:26:36So I deserve to swallow

00:26:38every grievance.

00:26:39To wait all night

00:26:40in the rain for a ride.

00:26:41To be called into work

00:26:42in the middle of the night.

00:26:43To watch my husband

00:26:44hold another woman in his arms.

00:26:46For the first time,

00:26:47I felt that what I had exhausted

00:26:48on Carter was not just my youth,

00:26:50but myself.

00:26:50I'll carry Clara

00:26:52to the bedroom first.

00:26:53Go get the file

00:26:54from the study.

00:26:55Be quiet.

00:27:01I stood there

00:27:02and watched him disappear

00:27:04down the hallway.

00:27:05Then I went into the study

00:27:07and got the key file.

00:27:08But I was so tired,

00:27:09I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

00:27:13So the first thing

00:27:14I printed at the printer

00:27:15wasn't the proposal.

00:27:17It was my resignation letter.

00:27:20Near dawn,

00:27:21I sent the real estate agent

00:27:22a second message.

00:27:24Have you settled the apartment?

00:27:25I need to move in within

00:27:26the next two days.

00:27:28At daybreak,

00:27:30I rubbed my red sleepless eyes

00:27:31and was about to return

00:27:32to the hotel.

00:27:34Clara found our marriage certificate.

00:27:36She's threatening to jump.

00:27:37Come back now.

00:27:38My mother's call

00:27:39came right after.

00:27:39Why didn't you take

00:27:40the marriage certificate

00:27:41when you moved out?

00:27:42You just can't stand

00:27:43to see your sister happy.

00:27:44Can't you apologize for once?

00:27:46If anything happens to Clara,

00:27:47don't ever call me

00:27:48your mother again.

00:27:56I wasn't even surprised anymore.

00:27:59Ever since we were children,

00:28:00whenever Clara was unhappy,

00:28:02I was the one who got blamed.

00:28:04I rushed to the community.

00:28:05I had barely reached

00:28:06the police line

00:28:07when Clara pointed at me

00:28:08and screamed.

00:28:10How could you marry

00:28:11behind my back

00:28:12at City Hall?

00:28:14The two people I loved

00:28:16most betrayed me together.

00:28:17Clara,

00:28:18the only person

00:28:19I've ever loved

00:28:20is you.

00:28:28Before I could even breathe,

00:28:30a powerful force

00:28:31slammed into me.

00:28:34I had just propped myself up.

00:28:36I don't know someone like you.

00:28:39I don't have a daughter like you.

00:28:45My hands shook

00:28:46as I called 911.

00:28:48Then everything went black.

00:28:51When I woke up,

00:28:52I was lying in a hospital bed.

00:28:54You were a little over

00:28:55six weeks pregnant.

00:28:57You've just had a miscarriage.

00:28:58We'll keep you under observation

00:29:00for an hour.

00:29:02After observation ended,

00:29:03I took my medication

00:29:04and slowly walked out.

00:29:06In the second floor hallway,

00:29:07I ran into Carter.

00:29:10Your sister has been traumatized.

00:29:11She can't see you right now.

00:29:15My mother and I

00:29:15will take good care of her.

00:29:17Of course I knew.

00:29:18And once again,

00:29:19he proved to me

00:29:20that Carter didn't love me at all.

00:29:21If he cared even a little,

00:29:23he wouldn't have missed

00:29:24how pale I looked.

00:29:25I turned to leave,

00:29:26but he grabbed my wrist.

00:29:28There's something else

00:29:29I need to tell you.

00:29:30Let's get divorced.

00:29:35Let's get divorced.

00:29:42My sister was injured

00:29:43and lost her memory.

00:29:44She forgot everyone

00:29:45except my husband,

00:29:47Carter Hayes.

00:29:48She believed he was her boyfriend.

00:29:50My mother broke down

00:29:51crying in the hospital hallway,

00:29:52clutching my arm

00:29:54and begging me

00:29:54to give Carter back to my sister.

00:29:58It's only temporary.

00:30:00Once her memory comes back,

00:30:01everything will go back to normal.

00:30:02But he didn't know

00:30:03that the moment he nodded,

00:30:05some things could never go back.

00:30:07Chloe, you should move out.

00:30:08We're out for now.

00:30:09Clara can't handle any stimulation.

00:30:13I'm bringing her here

00:30:13so I can take care of her.

00:30:14It's not convenient

00:30:15for you to stay.

00:30:17What if Clara never

00:30:18gets her memory back?

00:30:19Are you planning to play

00:30:20along with her forever?

00:30:22She's your sister.

00:30:23She's in terrible shape right now.

00:30:25Just give her some space.

00:30:28Go pack.

00:30:29Don't take too much.

00:30:35I'll buy you a new one another day.

00:30:37That lamp was the first birthday gift

00:34:13I had signed my own ticket to hell.

00:34:20You're married?

00:34:21To who?

00:34:24Her husband is a programmer at my company.

00:34:26He probably has to work late tonight.

00:34:28Right, right.

00:34:29That makes sense.

00:34:30No offense, but you and your sister

00:34:31were never on the same level.

00:34:35Chloe, you should bring your husband out

00:34:37to meet us sometime.

00:34:42Sure.

00:34:43When there's a chance.

00:34:46I couldn't sit there any longer,

00:34:48so I excused myself to the restroom.

00:34:50I was about to go back

00:34:52when I turned and met Carter's eyes.

00:34:54He had followed me out.

00:34:56Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.

00:34:58Give me the keys.

00:34:59What about me?

00:35:00It's pouring outside.

00:35:02If you take the car,

00:35:03how am I supposed to get back?

00:35:04My car is with the driver for maintenance.

00:35:06Clara's in bad shape.

00:35:08Give her some space.

00:35:09Wait for an Uber.

00:35:11Give.

00:35:11Since we were children,

00:35:13I gave Clara everything she wanted.

00:35:15I gave and gave

00:35:17until I even gave away my husband.

00:35:19I waited in the restaurant until closing,

00:35:21but no Uber accepted the ride.

00:35:24It was past midnight

00:35:25when I finally hailed a car.

00:35:27I had just gotten in

00:35:28when my phone buzzed.

00:35:29It was a work message from Carter.

00:35:31The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.

00:35:33Go to the office and handle it.

00:35:35I was still his executive assistant.

00:35:37I told the driver to head to the office,

00:35:39but one encrypted key

00:35:40needed for the project was in his study.

00:35:42He didn't answer my calls.

00:35:44He didn't reply to my messages.

00:35:46I had no choice but to go home.

00:35:50No one answered the doorbell,

00:35:51so I entered the passcode

00:35:53and pushed the door open.

00:36:01Why are you here?

00:36:02Didn't I tell you not to come back

00:36:03before Clara recovers her memory?

00:36:05If she finds out about us,

00:36:06everything will be for nothing.

00:36:08I took out my phone

00:36:09and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.

00:36:11The project you told me to handle

00:36:13needs the key file.

00:36:14You didn't answer a single call.

00:36:18So helping Clara recover her memory

00:36:20requires taking your clothes off.

00:36:23My clothes got wet.

00:36:25You've always been sensible.

00:36:26Don't make a fuss over something so small.

00:36:29Sensible.

00:36:29So I deserve to swallow every grievance.

00:36:32To wait all night in the rain for a ride.

00:36:34To be called into work in the middle of the night.

00:36:36To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.

00:36:39For the first time,

00:36:40I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter

00:36:42was not just my youth, but myself.

00:36:44I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.

00:36:46Go get the file from the study.

00:36:48Be quiet.

00:36:54I stood there and watched him disappear

00:36:57down the hallway.

00:36:58Then I went into the study

00:36:59and got the key file.

00:37:01But I was so tired.

00:37:03I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

00:37:06So the first thing I printed at the printer

00:37:07wasn't the proposal.

00:37:10It was my resignation letter.

00:37:13Near dawn,

00:37:14I sent the real estate agent

00:37:15a second message.

00:37:16Have you settled the apartment?

00:37:18I need to move in-win

00:37:19within the next two days.

00:37:21At daybreak,

00:37:22I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes

00:37:24and was about to return to the hotel.

00:37:27Clara found our marriage certificate.

00:37:29She's threatening to jump.

00:37:30Come back now.

00:37:31My mother's call came right after.

00:37:32Why didn't you take the marriage certificate

00:37:34when you moved out?

00:37:35You just can't stand to see your sister happy.

00:37:37Can't you apologize for once?

00:37:39If anything happens to Clara,

00:37:40don't ever call me your mother again.

00:37:49I wasn't even surprised anymore.

00:37:52Ever since we were children,

00:37:53whenever Clara was unhappy,

00:37:55I was the one who got blamed.

00:37:57I rushed to the community.

00:37:58I had barely reached the police line

00:38:00when Clara pointed at me and screamed.

00:38:03How could you marry behind my back

00:38:05at City Hall?

00:38:07The two people I loved most

00:38:09betrayed me together.

00:38:10Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.

00:38:21Before I could even breathe,

00:38:23a powerful force slammed into me.

00:38:27I had just propped myself up.

00:38:29I don't know someone like you.

00:38:31I don't have a daughter like you.

00:38:38My hands shook as I called 911.

00:38:41Then everything went black.

00:38:44When I woke up,

00:38:45I was lying in a hospital bed.

00:38:47You were a little over six weeks pregnant.

00:38:49You've just had a miscarriage.

00:38:51We'll keep you under observation for an hour.

00:38:54After observation ended,

00:38:56I took my medication and slowly walked out.

00:38:59In the second floor hallway,

00:39:00I ran into Carter.

00:39:03Your sister has been traumatized.

00:39:04She can't see you right now.

00:39:07My mother and I will take good care of her.

00:39:10Of course I knew.

00:39:11And once again,

00:39:12he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.

00:39:14If he cared even a little,

00:39:16he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.

00:39:18I turned to leave,

00:39:19but he grabbed my wrist.

00:39:21There's something else I need to tell you.

00:39:23Let's get divorced.

00:39:34My sister was injured and lost her memory.

00:39:37She forgot everyone,

00:39:38except my husband, Carter Hayes.

00:39:40She believed he was her boyfriend.

00:39:42My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway,

00:39:45clutching my arm and begging me

00:39:47to give Carter back to my sister.

00:39:51It's only temporary.

00:39:53Once her memory comes back,

00:39:54everything will go back to normal.

00:39:55But he didn't know that the moment he nodded,

00:39:57some things could never go back.

00:40:00Chloe, you should move out for now.

00:40:02Clara can't handle any stimulation.

00:40:05I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.

00:40:07It's not convenient for you to stay.

00:40:10What if Clara never gets her memory back?

00:40:12Are you planning to play along with her forever?

00:40:15She's your sister.

00:40:16She's in terrible shape right now.

00:40:17Just give her some space.

00:40:21Go pack.

00:40:22Don't take too much.

00:40:22I'll have someone deal with the rest.

00:40:24He walked into the living room

00:40:25and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.

00:40:26Take that too.

00:40:27Clara doesn't like this style.

00:40:28I'll buy you a new one another day.

00:40:30That lamp was the first birthday gift

00:40:32he had ever given me.

00:40:33For five years of marriage,

00:40:34I wiped it clean every week.

00:40:36So in his eyes,

00:40:37it had been ready to throw away all along.

00:40:39Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.

00:40:42I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.

00:40:45When I came back,

00:40:46the designer had already arrived.

00:40:48Carter was giving instructions.

00:40:51Persian cashmere rugs.

00:40:53Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.

00:40:56He went into the study

00:40:57and tore down my sticky notes one by one,

00:41:00crumpled them,

00:41:01and tossed them into the trash.

00:41:04Clear out all the sticky notes you left.

00:41:07Your sister knows your handwriting.

00:41:09Don't make her overthink.

00:41:10I stood in the entryway,

00:41:11watching the home I had lived in for five years

00:41:13slowly turn into another woman's.

00:41:15It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.

00:41:16He just didn't have time for me.

00:41:17I turned to leave.

00:41:18As I passed the study,

00:41:20I caught sight of a half-open drawer.

00:41:22Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn,

00:41:24the scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.

00:41:25I thought he had thrown it away.

00:41:27I reached out to pull the drawer open.

00:41:28Chloe,

00:41:31why are you still here?

00:41:33I didn't answer.

00:41:35I picked up the bag

00:41:36that held only a few changes of clothes

00:41:37and walked out of the house

00:41:39that had once been mine.

00:41:44At the gate,

00:41:45I texted a real estate agent

00:41:46I hadn't contacted in a long time.

00:41:50Find me an apartment downtown

00:41:51as soon as possible.

00:41:53Don't tell my husband.

00:41:57When I checked into the Marriott downtown,

00:42:00Carter called.

00:42:02There's a college reunion tonight.

00:42:04Our old professor will be there.

00:42:05I'll take you and your sister.

00:42:07Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.

00:42:09He hung up after that

00:42:11without the slightest concern for me.

00:42:13That evening,

00:42:14I returned to my own home as a guest.

00:42:17Carter opened the door.

00:42:19The therapist said

00:42:21familiar things could help Clara recover.

00:42:24I didn't respond.

00:42:25A sour ache spread through my chest.

00:42:28Clara came downstairs,

00:42:30linked her arm through Carter's,

00:42:31and smiled at me.

00:42:33Chloe,

00:42:34you're still the same as in college.

00:42:36Always tagging along.

00:42:38All right.

00:42:38Stop teasing her.

00:42:44Stanford.

00:42:46Carter led Clara across the main quad.

00:42:49Remember freshman year at the football game?

00:42:51We were chosen as squad leaders.

00:42:54We secretly held hands

00:42:55and someone posted the photo on the forum.

00:42:57Of course I remember.

00:43:00And the spring formal.

00:43:01We hosted it together.

00:43:03Chloe was there too, right?

00:43:05I was.

00:43:06In the audience.

00:43:08Back then,

00:43:09they were upstairs.

00:43:10I was below it.

00:43:11Even after I married Carter,

00:43:14I was still the invisible person in their story.

00:43:16In the private dining room,

00:43:18our classmates started cheering.

00:43:19The party queen and the fraternity president are here.

00:43:22Still holding hands?

00:43:24When are we getting invitations?

00:43:28I thought I heard Carter was married.

00:43:33You must have heard wrong, professor.

00:43:35I'm not married.

00:43:37Not yet.

00:43:38But soon.

00:43:41I looked away and took a sip of wine.

00:43:44It tasted bitter.

00:43:46After a few rounds of drinks,

00:43:47a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.

00:43:50Chloe, are you seeing anyone?

00:43:51I always wanted to ask you out back in college.

00:43:56I'm married.

00:43:58I've been married for five years.

00:44:03That was when I suddenly understood.

00:44:05I had signed my own ticket to hell.

00:44:13You're married?

00:44:14To who?

00:44:17Her husband is a programmer at my company.

00:44:19He probably has to work late tonight.

00:44:21Right, right.

00:44:21That makes sense.

00:44:23No offense, but you and your sister

00:44:24were never on the same level.

00:44:28Chloe, you should bring your husband out

00:44:30to meet us sometime.

00:44:35Sure.

00:44:36When there's a chance.

00:44:39I couldn't sit there any longer,

00:44:41so I excused myself to the restroom.

00:44:43I was about to go back

00:44:45when I turned and met Carter's eyes.

00:44:47He had followed me out.

00:44:48Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.

00:44:51Give me the keys.

00:44:57My car is with the driver for maintenance.

00:44:59Clara's in bad shape.

00:45:01Give her some space.

00:45:02Wait for an Uber.

00:45:03Give.

00:45:04Since we were children,

00:45:05I gave Clara everything she wanted.

00:45:08I gave and gave

00:45:09until I even gave away my husband.

00:45:43No one answered the doorbell,

00:45:44so I entered the passcode

00:45:45and pushed the door open.

00:45:54Why are you here?

00:45:55Didn't I tell you not to come back

00:45:56before Clara recovers her memory?

00:45:58If she finds out about us,

00:45:59everything will be for nothing.

00:46:00I took out my phone

00:46:02and held up the dozen missed calls

00:46:03in front of him.

00:46:04The project you told me to handle

00:46:05needs the key file.

00:46:07You didn't answer a single call.

00:46:11So helping Clara recover her memory

00:46:13requires taking your clothes off.

00:46:16My clothes got wet.

00:46:18You've always been sensible.

00:46:19Don't make a fuss

00:46:20over something so small.

00:46:21Sensible.

00:46:22So I deserve to swallow every grievance.

00:46:24To wait all night in the rain

00:46:26for a ride.

00:46:27To be called into work

00:46:28in the middle of the night.

00:46:29To watch my husband

00:46:30hold another woman in his arms.

00:46:32For the first time,

00:46:33I felt that what I had exhausted

00:46:34on Carter was not just my youth,

00:46:36but myself.

00:46:36I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.

00:46:39Go get the file from the study.

00:46:40Be quiet.

00:46:47I stood there

00:46:48and watched him disappear

00:46:49down the hallway.

00:46:51Then I went into the study

00:46:52and got the key file.

00:46:54But I was so tired,

00:46:55I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

00:46:58So the first thing I printed

00:47:00at the printer

00:47:00wasn't the proposal.

00:47:03It was my resignation letter.

00:47:05Near dawn,

00:47:07I sent the real estate agent

00:47:08a second message.

00:47:09Have you settled the apartment?

00:47:11I need to move in within

00:47:12the next two days.

00:47:14At daybreak,

00:47:15I rubbed my red,

00:47:16sleepless eyes

00:47:17and was about to return

00:47:18to the hotel.

00:47:20Clara found our marriage certificate.

00:47:22She's threatening to jump.

00:47:23Come back now.

00:47:24My mother's call

00:47:24came right after.

00:47:25Why didn't you take

00:47:26the marriage certificate

00:47:27when you moved out?

00:47:27You just can't stand

00:47:28to see your sister happy.

00:47:30Can't you apologize for once?

00:47:32If anything happens to Clara,

00:47:33don't ever call me

00:47:34your mother again.

00:47:42I wasn't even surprised anymore.

00:47:44Ever since we were children,

00:47:46whenever Clara was unhappy,

00:47:48I was the one who got blamed.

00:47:49I rushed to the community.

00:47:51I had barely reached

00:47:52the police line

00:47:53when Clara pointed at me

00:47:54and screamed.

00:47:55How could you marry

00:47:57behind my back

00:47:57at City Hall?

00:48:00The two people I loved

00:48:01most betrayed me together.

00:48:03Clara, the only person

00:48:04I've ever loved is you.

00:48:14Before I could even breathe,

00:48:16a powerful force

00:48:17slammed into me.

00:48:19I had just propped myself up.

00:48:22I don't know someone like you.

00:48:24I don't have a daughter

00:48:26like you!

00:48:31My hands shook

00:48:32as I called 911.

00:48:33Then everything went black.

00:48:37When I woke up,

00:48:38I was lying in a hospital bed.

00:48:40You were a little over

00:48:41six weeks pregnant.

00:48:42You've just had a miscarriage.

00:48:44We'll keep you under observation

00:48:46for an hour.

00:48:47After observation ended,

00:48:49I took my medication

00:48:50and slowly walked out.

00:48:51In the second floor hallway,

00:48:53I ran into Carter.

00:48:55Your sister has been traumatized.

00:48:57She can't see you right now.

00:49:00My mother and I

00:49:01will take good care of her.

00:49:02Of course I knew.

00:49:04And once again,

00:49:05he proved to me

00:49:05that Carter didn't love me at all.

00:49:07If he cared even a little,

00:49:08he wouldn't have missed

00:49:09how pale I looked.

00:49:11I turned to leave,

00:49:12but he grabbed my wrist.

00:49:13There's something else

00:49:14I need to tell you.

00:49:16Let's get divorced.

00:49:27My sister was injured

00:49:29and lost her memory.

00:49:30She forgot everyone

00:49:31except my husband,

00:49:32Carter Hayes.

00:49:33She believed he was her boyfriend.

00:49:35My mother broke down

00:49:36crying in the hospital hallway,

00:49:38clutching my arm

00:49:39and begging me

00:49:40to give Carter back

00:49:41to my sister.

00:49:44It's only temporary.

00:49:46Once her memory comes back,

00:49:47everything will go back to normal.

00:49:48But he didn't know

00:49:49that the moment he nodded,

00:49:50some things could never go back.

00:49:53Chloe, you should move out for now.

00:49:55Clara can't handle any stimulation.

00:49:58I'm bringing her here

00:49:59so I can take care of her.

00:50:00It's not convenient

00:50:01for you to stay.

00:50:03What if Clara

00:50:04never gets her memory back?

00:50:05Are you planning

00:50:06to play along with her forever?

00:50:08She's your sister.

00:50:09She's in terrible shape right now.

00:50:10Just give her some space.

00:50:14Go pack.

00:50:14Don't take too much.

00:50:15I'll have someone deal with the rest.

00:50:16He walked into the living room

00:50:17and pointed at the Tiffany lamp

00:50:19on the wall.

00:50:19Take that too.

00:50:20Clara doesn't like this style.

00:50:21I'll buy you a new one another day.

00:50:23That lamp was the first birthday gift

00:50:24he had ever given me.

00:50:25For five years of marriage

00:50:27I wiped it clean every week.

00:50:28So in his eyes

00:50:30it had been ready

00:50:31to throw away all along.

00:50:32Maybe it wasn't just the lamp

00:50:33he wanted to throw away.

00:50:35I carried the lamp

00:50:36downstairs to the trash bins.

00:50:38When I came back

00:50:39the designer had already arrived.

00:50:41Carter was giving instructions.

00:50:43Persian cashmere rugs.

00:50:46Egyptian long-steption

00:50:47cotton bedding.

00:50:49He went into the study

00:50:50and tore down my sticky notes

00:50:52one by one.

00:50:53Crumpled them

00:50:54and tossed them

00:50:55into the trash.

00:50:57Clear out all the sticky notes

00:50:59you left.

00:50:59Your sister knows your handwriting.

00:51:01Don't make her overthink.

00:51:03I stood in the entryway

00:51:04watching the home

00:51:04I had lived in for five years

00:51:06slowly turn into another woman's.

00:51:08It wasn't that Carter

00:51:08didn't have time.

00:51:09He just didn't have time for me.

00:51:10I turned to leave.

00:51:11As I passed the study

00:51:12I caught sight of a half-open drawer.

00:51:14Inside was a glimpse

00:51:15of gray-blue yarn.

00:51:16The scarf I had half-knitted

00:51:18three years ago.

00:51:18I thought he had thrown it away.

00:51:19I reached out to pull the drawer open.

00:51:21Chloe

00:51:23Why are you still here?

00:51:26I didn't answer.

00:51:28I picked up the bag

00:51:29that held only a few changes of clothes

00:51:30and walked out of the house

00:51:32that had once been mine.

00:51:37At the gate

00:51:38I texted a real estate agent

00:51:39I hadn't contacted

00:51:40in a long time.

00:51:43Find me an apartment downtown

00:51:44as soon as possible.

00:51:46Don't tell my husband.

00:51:50When I checked into

00:51:51the Marriott downtown

00:51:53Carter called.

00:51:54There's a college reunion tonight.

00:51:56Our old professor will be there.

00:51:58I'll take you and your sister.

00:52:00Clara's been recovering

00:52:01pretty well lately.

00:52:02He hung up after that

00:52:04without the slightest concern for me.

00:52:06That evening

00:52:07I returned to my own home

00:52:08as a guest.

00:52:09Carter opened the door.

00:52:12The therapist said

00:52:13familiar things

00:52:14could help Clara recover.

00:52:17I didn't respond.

00:52:18A sour ache

00:52:19spread through my chest.

00:52:21Clara came downstairs

00:52:22linked her arm

00:52:23through Carter's

00:52:24and smiled at me.

00:52:26Chloe

00:52:27you're still the same

00:52:28as in college.

00:52:29Always tagging along.

00:52:31Alright

00:52:31stop teasing her.

00:52:37Stanford

00:52:38Carter led Clara

00:52:39across the main quad.

00:52:42Remember freshman year

00:52:43at the football game?

00:52:44We were chosen

00:52:45as squad leaders.

00:52:47We secretly held hands

00:52:48and someone posted

00:52:49the photo on the forum.

00:52:50Of course I remember.

00:52:52And the spring formal.

00:52:54We hosted it together.

00:52:56Chloe was there too, right?

00:52:57I was

00:52:59in the audience.

00:53:01Back then

00:53:02they were upstairs.

00:53:03I was below it.

00:53:05Even after I married Carter

00:53:06I was still the invisible person

00:53:08in their story.

00:53:09In the private dining room

00:53:10our classmates

00:53:11started cheering.

00:53:12The party queen

00:53:13and the fraternity president

00:53:14are here!

00:53:15Still holding hands?

00:53:17When are we getting invitations?

00:53:21I thought I heard Carter

00:53:22was married.

00:53:26You must have heard

00:53:27wrong professor.

00:53:28I'm not married.

00:53:30Not yet

00:53:31but soon.

00:53:34I looked away

00:53:35and took a sip of wine.

00:53:37It tasted bitter.

00:53:38After a few rounds

00:53:39of drinks

00:53:40a fraternity member

00:53:41beside me

00:53:41lightly nodged my elbow.

00:53:43Chloe

00:53:43are you seeing anyone?

00:53:44I always wanted to ask you

00:53:45a job back in college.

00:53:49I'm married.

00:53:51I've been married

00:53:52for five years.

00:53:55That was when

00:53:56I suddenly understood

00:53:58I had signed

00:53:59my own ticket to hell.

00:54:06You're married?

00:54:07To who?

00:54:10Her husband is a programmer

00:54:11at my company.

00:54:12He probably has to

00:54:13work late tonight.

00:54:13Right.

00:54:14Right.

00:54:14That makes sense.

00:54:16No offense

00:54:16but you and your sister

00:54:17were never on the same level.

00:54:21Chloe

00:54:21you should bring

00:54:22your husband out

00:54:23to meet us sometime.

00:54:28Sure.

00:54:29When there's a chance.

00:54:32I couldn't sit there

00:54:33any longer

00:54:34so I excused myself

00:54:35to the restroom.

00:54:36I was about to go back

00:54:37when I turned

00:54:38and met Carter's eyes.

00:54:39He had followed me out.

00:54:41Clara likes the pink Porsche

00:54:42you drove here.

00:54:43Give me the keys.

00:54:45What about me?

00:54:46It's pouring outside.

00:54:47If you take the car

00:54:48how am I supposed

00:54:49to get back?

00:54:50My car is with the driver

00:54:51for maintenance.

00:54:52Clara's in bad shape.

00:54:53Give her some space.

00:54:54Wait for an Uber.

00:54:56Give.

00:54:57Since we were children

00:54:58I gave Clara

00:54:59everything she wanted.

00:55:01I gave and gave

00:55:02until I even

00:55:03gave away my husband.

00:55:05I waited in the restaurant

00:55:06until closing

00:55:07but no Uber

00:55:08accepted the ride.

00:55:09It was past midnight

00:55:11when I finally

00:55:12hailed a car.

00:55:13I had just gotten in

00:55:14when my phone buzzed.

00:55:15It was a work message

00:55:16from Carter.

00:55:17The Europe Cloud

00:55:17architecture proposal

00:55:18is urgent.

00:55:19Go to the office

00:55:20and handle it.

00:55:21I was still

00:55:21his executive assistant.

00:55:23I told the driver

00:55:24to head to the office

00:55:25but one encrypted key

00:55:26needed for the project

00:55:27was in his study.

00:55:28He didn't answer my calls.

00:55:30He didn't reply

00:55:31to my messages.

00:55:32I had no choice

00:55:33but to go home.

00:55:35No one answered

00:55:36the doorbell

00:55:37so I entered

00:55:38the passcode

00:55:38and pushed the door open.

00:55:46Why are you here?

00:55:48Didn't I tell you

00:55:48not to come back

00:55:49before Claire

00:55:49recovers her memory?

00:55:50If she finds out

00:55:51about us

00:55:52everything will be

00:55:53for nothing.

00:55:53I took out my phone

00:55:54and held up

00:55:55the dozen missed calls

00:55:56in front of him.

00:55:57The project you told me

00:55:58to handle

00:55:58needs the key file.

00:56:00You didn't answer

00:56:01a single call.

00:56:04So helping Claire

00:56:05recover her memory

00:56:06requires taking

00:56:07your clothes off.

00:56:08My clothes got wet.

00:56:10You've always been sensible.

00:56:12Don't make a fuss

00:56:13over something so small.

00:56:14Sensible.

00:56:15So I deserve

00:56:16to swallow every grievance.

00:56:17To wait all night

00:56:18in the rain for a ride.

00:56:20To be called into work

00:56:21in the middle of the night.

00:56:22To watch my husband

00:56:22hold another woman

00:56:23in his arms.

00:56:25For the first time

00:56:26I felt that what I had

00:56:27exhausted on Carter

00:56:27was not just my youth

00:56:28but myself.

00:56:29I'll carry Claire

00:56:30to the bedroom first.

00:56:32Go get the file

00:56:32from the study.

00:56:33Be quiet.

00:56:40I stood there

00:56:41and watched him

00:56:42disappear down the hallway.

00:56:44Then I went into the study

00:56:45and got the key file.

00:56:47But I was so tired

00:56:48I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

00:56:51So the first thing

00:56:52I printed at the printer

00:56:53wasn't the proposal.

00:56:56It was my resignation letter.

00:56:58Near dawn

00:56:59I sent the real estate agent

00:57:01a second message.

00:57:02Have you settled the apartment?

00:57:04I need to move in

00:57:04within the next two days.

00:57:07At daybreak

00:57:08I rubbed my red

00:57:09sleepless eyes

00:57:10and was about to return

00:57:11to the hotel.

00:57:13Clara found our marriage

00:57:14certificate.

00:57:15She's threatening to jump.

00:57:16Come back now!

00:57:17My mother's call

00:57:17came right after.

00:57:18Why didn't you take

00:57:19the marriage certificate

00:57:19when you moved out?

00:57:20You just can't stand

00:57:21to see your sister happy.

00:57:23Can't you apologize

00:57:23for once?

00:57:24If anything happens

00:57:25to Clara

00:57:26don't ever call me

00:57:26your mother again.

00:57:35I wasn't even surprised

00:57:36anymore.

00:57:37Ever since we were children

00:57:38whenever Clara was unhappy

00:57:40I was the one

00:57:41who got blamed.

00:57:42I rushed to the community.

00:57:44I had barely reached

00:57:45the police line

00:57:45when Clara pointed

00:57:46at me and screamed.

00:57:48How could you marry

00:57:50behind my back

00:57:50at City Hall?

00:57:52The two people

00:57:54I loved most

00:57:54betrayed me together.

00:57:56Clara the only person

00:57:57I've ever loved

00:57:58is you.

00:58:07Before I could even breathe

00:58:09a powerful force

00:58:10slammed into me.

00:58:12I had just propped

00:58:14myself up.

00:58:15I don't know

00:58:16someone like you.

00:58:17I don't have

00:58:18a daughter like you.

00:58:24My hands shook

00:58:25as I called 911.

00:58:26Then everything went black.

00:58:29When I woke up

00:58:30I was lying

00:58:31in a hospital bed.

00:58:33You were a little

00:58:34over six weeks pregnant.

00:58:35You've just had

00:58:36a miscarriage.

00:58:37We'll keep you

00:58:38under observation

00:58:39for an hour.

00:58:40After observation

00:58:41ended

00:58:41I took my medication

00:58:43and slowly walked out.

00:58:44In the second floor

00:58:45hallway

00:58:45I ran into Carter.

00:58:48Your sister

00:58:49has been traumatized.

00:58:50She can't see you

00:58:50right now.

00:58:53My mother and I

00:58:54will take good care of her.

00:58:55Of course I knew.

00:58:56And once again

00:58:57he proved to me

00:58:58that Carter

00:58:59didn't love me at all.

00:59:00If he cared

00:59:01even a little

00:59:01he wouldn't have missed

00:59:02how pale I looked.

00:59:04I turned to leave

00:59:05but he grabbed my wrist.

00:59:06There's something else

00:59:07I need to tell you.

00:59:09Let's get divorced.

00:59:20My sister was injured

00:59:21and lost her memory.

00:59:23She forgot everyone

00:59:24except my husband

00:59:25Carter Hayes.

00:59:26She believed he was

00:59:27her boyfriend.

00:59:28My mother broke down

00:59:29crying in the hospital hallway

00:59:31clutching my arm

00:59:32and begging me

00:59:33to give Carter

00:59:33back to my sister.

00:59:37It's only temporary.

00:59:38Once her memory

00:59:39comes back

00:59:39everything will go

00:59:40back to normal.

00:59:41But he didn't know

00:59:42that the moment

00:59:42he nodded

00:59:43some things

00:59:44could never go back.

00:59:46Chloe you should

00:59:47move out for now.

00:59:48Clara can't handle

00:59:49any stimulation.

00:59:51I'm bringing her here

00:59:52so I can take care of her.

00:59:53It's not convenient

00:59:54for you to stay.

00:59:56What if Clara

00:59:57never gets her memory back?

00:59:58Are you planning

00:59:59to play along

00:59:59with her forever?

01:00:01She's your sister.

01:00:02She's in terrible shape

01:00:03right now.

01:00:03Just give her some space.

01:00:07Go pack.

01:00:07Don't take too much.

01:00:08I'll have someone

01:00:08deal with the rest.

01:00:09He walked into the living room

01:00:10and pointed at the

01:00:11Tiffany lamp on the wall.

01:00:12Take that too.

01:00:13Clara doesn't like this style.

01:00:14I'll buy you a new one

01:00:14another day.

01:00:16That lamp was the first

01:00:17birthday gift

01:00:17he had ever given me.

01:00:19For five years of marriage

01:00:20I wiped it clean

01:00:21every week.

01:00:21So in his eyes

01:00:22it had been ready

01:00:23to throw away all along.

01:00:25Maybe it wasn't just

01:00:26the lamp he wanted

01:00:26to throw away.

01:00:28I carried the lamp

01:00:29downstairs to the

01:00:30trash bins.

01:00:31When I came back

01:00:32the designer had

01:00:33already arrived.

01:00:34Carter was giving

01:00:35instructions.

01:00:36Persian cashmere rugs.

01:00:39Egyptian long-steption

01:00:40cotton bedding.

01:00:41He went into the study

01:00:43and tore down

01:00:44my sticky notes

01:00:44one by one.

01:00:46Crumpled them

01:00:47and tossed them

01:00:48into the trash.

01:00:50Clear out all the

01:00:51sticky notes you left.

01:00:52Your sister knows

01:00:53your handwriting.

01:00:54Don't make her overthink.

01:00:55I stood in the entryway

01:00:57watching the home

01:00:57I had lived in

01:00:58for five years

01:00:59slowly turn into

01:01:00another woman's.

01:01:00It wasn't that

01:01:01Carter didn't have time.

01:01:02He just didn't have time

01:01:03for me.

01:01:03I turned to leave.

01:01:04As I passed the study

01:01:05I caught sight of a

01:01:06half-open drawer.

01:01:07Inside was a glimpse

01:01:08of gray-blue yarn.

01:01:09The scarf I had

01:01:10half-knitted three years ago.

01:01:11I thought he had

01:01:12thrown it away.

01:01:12I reached out

01:01:13to pull the drawer open.

01:01:14Chloe.

01:01:16Why are you still here?

01:01:19I didn't answer.

01:01:20I picked up the bag

01:01:21that held only a few

01:01:22changes of clothes

01:01:23and walked out of the house

01:01:25and walked out of the house

01:01:25that had once been mine.

01:01:30At the gate

01:01:31I texted a real estate agent

01:01:32I hadn't contacted

01:01:33in a long time.

01:01:36Find me an apartment

01:01:37downtown as soon as possible.

01:01:39Don't tell my husband.

01:01:43When I checked into

01:01:44the Marriott downtown

01:01:45Carter called.

01:01:47There's a college

01:01:48reunion tonight.

01:01:49Our old professor

01:01:50will be there.

01:01:51I'll take you

01:01:52and your sister.

01:01:53Clara's been recovering

01:01:54pretty well lately.

01:01:55He hung up after that

01:01:56without the slightest

01:01:57concern for me.

01:01:59That evening

01:01:59I returned to my own home

01:02:01as a guest.

01:02:02Carter opened the door.

01:02:05The therapist said

01:02:06familiar things

01:02:07could help Clara recover.

01:02:09I didn't respond.

01:02:11A sour ache

01:02:12spread through my chest.

01:02:14Clara came downstairs

01:02:15linked her arm

01:02:16through Carter's

01:02:17and smiled at me.

01:02:19Chloe

01:02:19you're still the same

01:02:20as in college.

01:02:22Always tagging along.

01:02:24Alright.

01:02:24Stop teasing her.

01:02:30Stanford

01:02:31Carter led Clara

01:02:32across the main quad.

01:02:35Remember freshman year

01:02:36at the football game?

01:02:37We were chosen

01:02:38as squad leaders.

01:02:39We secretly held hands

01:02:41and someone posted

01:02:41the photo on the forum.

01:02:43Of course I remember.

01:02:45And the spring formal.

01:02:47We hosted it together.

01:02:49Chloe was there too, right?

01:02:51I was.

01:02:52In the audience.

01:02:54Back then

01:02:55they were upstairs.

01:02:56I was below it.

01:02:58Even after I married Carter

01:02:59I was still the invisible person

01:03:01in their story.

01:03:02In the private dining room

01:03:03our classmates started cheering.

01:03:05The party queen

01:03:06and the fraternity president

01:03:07are here!

01:03:08Still holding hands?

01:03:10When are we getting invitations?

01:03:14I thought I heard

01:03:15Carter was married.

01:03:18You must have heard wrong, professor.

01:03:20I'm not married.

01:03:22Not yet.

01:03:24But soon.

01:03:27I looked away

01:03:28and took a sip of wine.

01:03:30It tasted bitter.

01:03:31After a few rounds of drinks

01:03:33a fraternity member beside me

01:03:34lightly nodged my elbow.

01:03:36Chloe, are you seeing anyone?

01:03:37I always wanted to ask you

01:03:38out back to college.

01:03:42I'm married.

01:03:43I've been married

01:03:44for five years.

01:03:48That was when

01:03:49I suddenly understood

01:03:51I had signed

01:03:52my own ticket to hell.

01:03:58You're married?

01:04:00To who?

01:04:02Her husband is a programmer

01:04:04at my company.

01:04:05He probably has to work

01:04:06late tonight.

01:04:07Right.

01:04:07That makes sense.

01:04:08No offense,

01:04:09but you and your sister

01:04:10were never on the same level.

01:04:13Chloe,

01:04:14you should bring your husband

01:04:15out to meet us sometime.

01:04:20Sure.

01:04:22When there's a chance.

01:04:25I couldn't sit there

01:04:26any longer,

01:04:27so I excused myself

01:04:28to the restroom.

01:04:29I was about to go back

01:04:30when I turned

01:04:31and met Carter's eyes.

01:04:32He had followed me out.

01:04:34Clara likes the pink Porsche

01:04:35you drove here.

01:04:36Give me the keys.

01:04:38What about me?

01:04:39It's pouring outside.

01:04:40If you take the car,

01:04:41how am I supposed

01:04:42to get back?

01:04:43My car is with the driver

01:04:44for maintenance.

01:04:45Clara's in bad shape.

01:04:46Give her some space.

01:04:47Wait for an Uber.

01:04:49Give.

01:04:50Since we were children,

01:04:51I gave Clara

01:04:52everything she wanted.

01:04:54I gave and gave

01:04:55until I even gave away

01:04:56my husband.

01:04:57I waited in the restaurant

01:04:59until closing,

01:04:59but no Uber

01:05:01accepted the ride.

01:05:02It was past midnight

01:05:03when I finally

01:05:04hailed a car.

01:05:06I had just gotten in

01:05:07when my phone buzzed.

01:05:08It was a work message

01:05:09from Carter.

01:05:09The Europe Cloud

01:05:10architecture proposal

01:05:11is urgent.

01:05:12Go to the office

01:05:13and handle it.

01:05:13I was still

01:05:14his executive assistant.

01:05:16I told the driver

01:05:17to head to the office,

01:05:17but one encrypted key

01:05:19needed for the project

01:05:20was in his study.

01:05:21He didn't answer

01:05:21my calls.

01:05:23He didn't reply

01:05:24to my messages.

01:05:25I had no choice

01:05:26but to go home.

01:05:28No one answered

01:05:29the doorbell,

01:05:30so I entered

01:05:30the passcode

01:05:31and pushed the door open.

01:05:39Why are you here?

01:05:40Didn't I tell you

01:05:41not to come back

01:05:42before Clara

01:05:42recovers her memory?

01:05:43If she finds out

01:05:44about us,

01:05:45everything will be

01:05:45for nothing.

01:05:46I took out my phone

01:05:47and held up

01:05:48the dozen missed calls

01:05:49in front of him.

01:05:50The project you told me

01:05:51to handle

01:05:51needs the key file.

01:05:53You didn't answer

01:05:54a single call.

01:05:57So helping Clara

01:05:58recover her memory

01:05:59requires taking

01:05:59your clothes off.

01:06:01My clothes got wet.

01:06:03You've always been sensible.

01:06:05Don't make a fuss

01:06:06over something so small.

01:06:07Sensible.

01:06:08So I deserve

01:06:09to swallow every grievance.

01:06:10To wait all night

01:06:11in the rain for a ride.

01:06:12To be called into work

01:06:13in the middle of the night.

01:06:14To watch my husband

01:06:15hold another woman

01:06:16in his arms.

01:06:17For the first time,

01:06:18I felt that what I had

01:06:19exhausted on Carter

01:06:20was not just my youth,

01:06:21but myself.

01:06:22I'll carry Clara

01:06:23to the bedroom first.

01:06:24Go get the file

01:06:25from the study.

01:06:26Be quiet.

01:06:33I stood there

01:06:34and watched him

01:06:34disappear down the hallway.

01:06:37Then I went into the study

01:06:38and got the key file.

01:06:40But I was so tired,

01:06:41I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

01:06:44So the first thing

01:06:45I printed at the printer

01:06:46wasn't the proposal.

01:06:48It was my resignation letter.

01:06:51Near dawn,

01:06:52I sent the real estate agent

01:06:53a second message.

01:06:55Have you settled the apartment?

01:06:57I need to move in

01:06:57within the next two days.

01:07:00At daybreak,

01:07:01I rubbed my red,

01:07:02sleepless eyes

01:07:02and was about to return

01:07:03to the hotel.

01:07:06Clara found our marriage certificate.

01:07:07She's threatening to jump.

01:07:08Come back now.

01:07:09My mother's call

01:07:10came right after.

01:07:11Why didn't you take

01:07:12the marriage certificate

01:07:12when you moved out?

01:07:13You just can't stand

01:07:14to see your sister happy.

01:07:15Can't you apologize for once?

01:07:17If anything happens to Clara,

01:07:18don't ever call me

01:07:19your mother again.

01:07:28I wasn't even surprised anymore.

01:07:30Ever since we were children,

01:07:32whenever Clara was unhappy,

01:07:33I was the one who got blamed.

01:07:35I rushed to the community.

01:07:37I had barely reached

01:07:38the police line

01:07:38when Clara pointed at me

01:07:39and screamed.

01:07:41How could you marry

01:07:42behind my back

01:07:43at City Hall?

01:07:45The two people I loved

01:07:47most betrayed me together.

01:07:49Clara, the only person

01:07:50I've ever loved is you.

01:08:00Before I could even breathe,

01:08:02a powerful force

01:08:02slammed into me.

01:08:05I had just propped myself up.

01:08:08I don't know someone like you.

01:08:10I don't have a daughter

01:08:12like you!

01:08:17My hands shook

01:08:18as I called 911.

01:08:19Then everything went black.

01:08:22When I woke up,

01:08:23I was lying in a hospital bed.

01:08:26You were a little over

01:08:27six weeks pregnant.

01:08:28You've just had a miscarriage.

01:08:30We'll keep you under observation

01:08:31for an hour.

01:08:33After observation ended,

01:08:34I took my medication

01:08:36and slowly walked out.

01:08:37In the second floor hallway,

01:08:38I ran into Carter.

01:08:41Your sister has been traumatized.

01:08:43She can't see you right now.

01:08:46My mother and I

01:08:47will take good care of her.

01:08:48Of course I knew.

01:08:49And once again,

01:08:50he proved to me

01:08:51that Carter didn't love me at all.

01:08:53If he cared even a little,

01:08:54he wouldn't have missed

01:08:55how pale I looked.

01:08:56I turned to leave,

01:08:58but he grabbed my wrist.

01:08:59There's something else

01:09:00I need to tell you.

01:09:02Let's get divorced.

01:09:13My sister was injured

01:09:14and lost her memory.

01:09:16She forgot everyone

01:09:17except my husband,

01:09:18Carter Hayes.

01:09:19She believed he was her boyfriend.

01:09:21My mother broke down

01:09:22crying in the hospital hallway,

01:09:24clutching my arm

01:09:25and begging me

01:09:26to give Carter back

01:09:27to my sister.

01:09:30It's only temporary.

01:09:31Once her memory comes back,

01:09:32everything will go back to normal.

01:09:34But he didn't know

01:09:34that the moment he nodded,

01:09:36some things could never go back.

01:09:39Chloe, you should move out for now.

01:09:41Clara can't handle any stimulation.

01:09:44I'm bringing her here

01:09:45so I can take care of her.

01:09:46It's not convenient for you to stay.

01:09:49What if Clara never gets her memory back?

01:09:51Are you planning to play along

01:09:52with her forever?

01:09:53She's your sister.

01:09:55She's in terrible shape right now.

01:09:56Just give her some space.

01:09:59Go pack.

01:10:00Don't take too much.

01:10:01I'll have someone deal with the rest.

01:10:02He walked into the living room

01:10:03and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.

01:10:05Take that too.

01:10:05Clara doesn't like this style.

01:10:07I'll buy you a new one another day.

01:10:09That lamp was the first birthday gift

01:10:10he had ever given me.

01:10:11For five years of marriage,

01:10:13I wiped it clean every week.

01:10:14So in his eyes,

01:10:15it had been ready to throw away all along.

01:10:18Maybe it wasn't just the lamp

01:10:19he wanted to throw away.

01:10:21I carried the lamp downstairs

01:10:22to the trash bins.

01:10:24When I came back,

01:10:25the designer had already arrived.

01:10:27Carter was giving instructions.

01:10:29Persian cashmere rugs.

01:10:31Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.

01:10:34He went into the study

01:10:36and tore down my sticky notes

01:10:37one by one,

01:10:39crumpled them,

01:10:40and tossed them into the trash.

01:10:43Clear out all the sticky notes you left.

01:10:45Your sister knows your handwriting.

01:10:47Don't make her overthink.

01:10:48I stood in the entryway,

01:10:50watching the home I had lived in for five years

01:10:51slowly turn into another woman's.

01:10:53It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.

01:10:55He just didn't have time for me.

01:10:56I turned to leave.

01:10:57As I passed the study,

01:10:58I caught sight of a half-open drawer.

01:11:00Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn,

01:11:02the scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.

01:11:04I thought he had thrown it away.

01:11:05I reached out to pull the drawer open.

01:11:07Chloe,

01:11:09why are you still here?

01:11:12I didn't answer.

01:11:13I picked up the bag

01:11:14that held only a few changes of clothes

01:11:16and walked out of the house

01:11:17that had once been mine.

01:11:23At the gate,

01:11:24I texted a real estate agent

01:11:25I hadn't contacted in a long time.

01:11:28Find me an apartment downtown

01:11:30as soon as possible.

01:11:31Don't tell my husband.

01:11:36When I checked into the Marriott downtown,

01:11:39Carter called.

01:11:40There's a college reunion tonight.

01:11:42Our old professor will be there.

01:11:44I'll take you and your sister.

01:11:46Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.

01:11:48He hung up after that

01:11:49without the slightest concern for me.

01:11:51That evening,

01:11:53I returned to my own home as a guest.

01:11:55Carter opened the door.

01:11:57The therapist said

01:12:08linked her arm through Carter's,

01:12:10and smiled at me.

01:12:12Chloe,

01:12:13you're still the same as in college.

01:12:16All right.

01:12:17Stop teasing her.

01:13:59Right.

01:15:36If she finds out about us,

01:15:38everything will be for nothing.

01:15:39I took out my phone

01:15:40and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.

01:15:43The project you told me to handle needs the key file.

01:15:45You didn't answer a single call.

01:15:50So helping Clara recover her memory requires taking your clothes off.

01:15:54My clothes got wet.

01:15:56You've always been sensible.

01:15:58Don't make a fuss over something so small.

01:16:00Sensible.

01:16:01So I deserve to swallow every grievance.

01:16:03To wait all night in the rain for a ride.

01:16:05To be called into work in the middle of the night.

01:16:07To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.

01:16:10For the first time,

01:16:11I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter

01:16:13was not just my youth, but myself.

01:16:15I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.

01:16:17Go get the file from the study.

01:16:19Be quiet.

01:16:26I stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway.

01:16:29Then I went into the study and got the key file.

01:16:32But I was so tired,

01:16:34I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

01:16:37So the first thing I printed at the printer

01:16:39wasn't the proposal.

01:16:41It was my resignation letter.

01:16:44Near dawn,

01:16:45I sent the real estate agent a second message.

01:16:48Have you settled the apartment?

01:16:49I need to move in within the next two days.

01:16:53At daybreak,

01:16:54I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes

01:16:55and was about to return to the hotel.

01:16:59Clara found our marriage certificate.

01:17:00She's threatening to jump.

01:17:01Come back now.

01:17:02My mother's call came right after.

01:17:04Why didn't you take the marriage certificate

01:17:05when you moved out?

01:17:06You just can't stand to see your sister happy.

01:17:08Can't you apologize for once?

01:17:10If anything happens to Clara,

01:17:11don't ever call me your mother again.

01:17:20I wasn't even surprised anymore.

01:17:23Ever since we were children,

01:17:24whenever Clara was unhappy,

01:17:26I was the one who got blamed.

01:17:28I rushed to the community.

01:17:29I had barely reached the police line

01:17:31when Clara pointed at me and screamed.

01:17:34How could you marry behind my back at City Hall?

01:17:38The two people I loved most betrayed me together.

01:17:42Clara,

01:17:42the only person I've ever loved is you.

01:17:53Before I could even breathe,

01:17:54a powerful force slammed into me.

01:17:58I had just propped myself up.

01:18:00I don't know someone like you.

01:18:03I don't have a daughter like you.

01:18:10My hands shook as I called 911.

01:18:12Then everything went black.

01:18:15When I woke up,

01:18:16I was lying in a hospital bed.

01:18:18You were a little over six weeks pregnant.

01:18:21You've just had a miscarriage.

01:18:23We'll keep you under observation for an hour.

01:18:26After observation ended,

01:18:27I took my medication and slowly walked out.

01:18:30In the second floor hallway,

01:18:31I ran into Carter.

01:18:34Your sister has been traumatized.

01:18:35She can't see you right now.

01:18:39My mother and I will take good care of her.

01:18:41Of course I knew.

01:18:42And once again,

01:18:43he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.

01:18:45If he cared even a little,

01:18:47he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.

01:18:49I turned to leave,

01:18:50but he grabbed my wrist.

01:18:52There's something else I need to tell you.

01:18:54Let's get divorced.

01:19:21It's only temporary.

01:19:24Once her memory comes back,

01:19:25everything will go back to normal.

01:19:26But he didn't know

01:19:27that the moment he nodded,

01:19:29some things could never go back.

01:19:32Chloe, you should move out for now.

01:19:33Clara can't handle any stimulation.

01:19:37I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.

01:19:39It's not convenient for you to stay.

01:19:41What if Clara never gets her memory back?

01:19:44Are you planning to play along with her forever?

01:19:46She's your sister.

01:19:47She's in terrible shape right now.

01:19:49Just give her some space.

01:19:52Go pack.

01:19:53Don't take too much.

01:19:54I'll have someone deal with the rest.

01:19:55He walked into the living room

01:19:56and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.

01:19:58Take that too.

01:19:58Clara doesn't like this style.

01:19:59I'll buy you a new one another day.

01:20:01That lamp was the first birthday gift

01:20:03he had ever given me.

01:20:04For five years of marriage,

01:20:06I wiped it clean every week.

01:20:07So in his eyes,

01:20:08it had been ready to throw away all along.

01:20:10Maybe it wasn't just the lamp

01:20:12he wanted to throw away.

01:20:13I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.

01:20:16When I came back,

01:20:18the designer had already arrived.

01:20:20Carter was giving instructions.

01:20:22Persian cashmere rugs.

01:20:24Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.

01:20:27He went into the study

01:20:28and tore down my sticky notes one by one,

01:20:32crumpled them,

01:20:32and tossed them into the trash.

01:20:36Clear out all the sticky notes you left.

01:20:38Your sister knows your handwriting.

01:20:40Don't make her overthink.

01:20:41I stood in the entryway,

01:20:42watching the home I had lived in for five years

01:20:44slowly turn into another woman's.

01:20:46It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.

01:20:48He just didn't have time for me.

01:20:49I turned to leave.

01:20:50As I passed the study,

01:20:51I caught sight of a half-open drawer.

01:20:53Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn,

01:20:55the scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.

01:20:57I thought he had thrown it away.

01:20:58I reached out to pull the drawer open.

01:21:00Chloe.

01:21:02Why are you still here?

01:21:04I didn't answer.

01:21:06I picked up the bag

01:21:07that held only a few changes of clothes

01:21:09and walked out of the house

01:21:10that had once been mine.

01:21:15At the gate,

01:21:17I texted a real estate agent

01:21:18I hadn't contacted in a long time.

01:21:21Find me an apartment downtown

01:21:23as soon as possible.

01:21:24Don't tell my husband.

01:21:29When I checked into the Marriott downtown,

01:21:32Carter called.

01:21:33There's a college reunion tonight.

01:21:35Our old professor will be there.

01:21:37I'll take you and your sister.

01:21:38Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.

01:21:41He hung up after that

01:21:42without the slightest concern for me.

01:21:44That evening,

01:21:45I returned to my own home as a guest.

01:21:48Carter opened the door.

01:21:50The therapist said

01:21:52familiar things could help Clara recover.

01:21:55I didn't respond.

01:21:57A sour ache spread through my chest.

01:22:00Clara came downstairs,

01:22:01linked her arm through Carter's,

01:22:03and smiled at me.

01:22:04Chloe,

01:22:05you're still the same as in college.

01:22:08Always tagging along.

01:22:09All right.

01:22:10Stop teasing her.

01:22:21Remember freshman year

01:22:22at the football game?

01:22:23We were chosen as squad leaders.

01:22:25We secretly held hands

01:22:26and someone posted the photo on the forum.

01:22:28Of course I remember.

01:22:31And the spring formal.

01:22:33We hosted it together.

01:22:35Chloe was there too, right?

01:22:36I was.

01:22:38In the audience.

01:22:39Back then,

01:22:40they were upstairs.

01:22:42I was below it.

01:22:43Even after I married Carter,

01:22:45I was still the invisible person

01:22:47in their story.

01:22:47In the private dining room,

01:22:49our classmates started cheering.

01:22:51The party queen

01:22:52and the fraternity president are here!

01:22:54Still holding hands?

01:22:55When are we getting invitations?

01:22:59I thought I heard Carter was married.

01:23:04You must have heard wrong, professor.

01:23:06I'm not married.

01:23:08Not yet.

01:23:09But soon.

01:23:12I looked away and took a sip of wine.

01:23:15It tasted bitter.

01:23:17After a few rounds of drinks,

01:23:18a fraternity member beside me

01:23:20lightly nodged my elbow.

01:23:21Chloe, are you seeing anyone?

01:23:23I always wanted to ask you out back in college.

01:23:27I'm married.

01:23:29I've been married for five years.

01:23:34That was when I suddenly understood

01:23:37I had signed my own ticket to hell.

01:23:44You're married?

01:23:45To who?

01:23:48Her husband is a programmer at my company.

01:23:50He probably has to work late tonight.

01:23:52Right.

01:23:53That makes sense.

01:23:54No offense,

01:23:55but you and your sister

01:23:56were never on the same level.

01:23:59Chloe,

01:24:00you should bring your husband out

01:24:01to meet us sometime.

01:24:05Sure.

01:24:07When there's a chance.

01:24:11I couldn't sit there any longer,

01:24:12so I excused myself to the restroom.

01:24:15I was about to go back

01:24:16when I turned and met Carter's eyes.

01:24:18He had followed me out.

01:24:20Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.

01:24:22Give me the keys.

01:24:23What about me?

01:24:24It's pouring outside.

01:24:26If you take the car,

01:24:27how am I supposed to get back?

01:24:28My car is with the driver for maintenance.

01:24:31Clara's in bad shape.

01:24:32Give her some space.

01:24:33Wait for an Uber.

01:24:35Give.

01:24:35Since we were children,

01:24:37I gave Clara everything she wanted.

01:24:39I gave and gave

01:24:41until I even gave away my husband.

01:24:43I waited in the restaurant until closing,

01:24:46but no Uber accepted the ride.

01:24:48It was past midnight

01:24:49when I finally hailed a car.

01:24:51I had just gotten in

01:24:52when my phone buzzed.

01:24:54It was a work message from Carter.

01:24:55The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.

01:24:58Go to the office and handle it.

01:24:59I was still his executive assistant.

01:25:01I told the driver to head to the office,

01:25:03but one encrypted key

01:25:05needed for the project was in his study.

01:25:07He didn't answer my calls.

01:25:08He didn't reply to my messages.

01:25:10I had no choice but to go home.

01:25:14No one answered the doorbell,

01:25:16so I entered the passcode

01:25:17and pushed the door open.

01:25:25Why are you here?

01:25:26Didn't I tell you not to come back

01:25:27before Clara recovers her memory?

01:25:29If she finds out about us,

01:25:30everything will be for nothing.

01:25:32I took out my phone

01:25:33and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.

01:25:35The project you told me to handle

01:25:37needs the key file.

01:25:38You didn't answer a single call.

01:25:43So helping Clara recover her memory

01:25:44requires taking your clothes off.

01:25:47My clothes got wet.

01:25:49You've always been sensible.

01:25:51Don't make a fuss over something so small.

01:25:53Sensible.

01:25:54So I deserve to swallow every grievance.

01:25:56To wait all night in the rain for a ride.

01:25:58To be called into work in the middle of the night.

01:26:00To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.

01:26:04I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter

01:26:06was not just my youth, but myself.

01:26:07I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.

01:26:10Go get the file from the study.

01:26:12Be quiet.

01:26:18I stood there and watched him disappear

01:26:21down the hallway.

01:26:22Then I went into the study and got the key file.

01:26:25But I was so tired.

01:26:27I couldn't tolerate it anymore.

01:26:48and was about to return to the hotel.

01:26:51Clara found our marriage certificate.

01:26:53She's threatening to jump.

01:26:54Come back now.

01:26:55My mother's call came right after.

01:26:57Why didn't you take the marriage certificate

01:26:58when you moved out?

01:26:59You just can't stand to see your sister happy.

01:27:01Can't you apologize for once?

01:27:31The two people I loved most

01:27:33betrayed me together.

01:27:35Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.

01:27:45Before I could even breathe,

01:27:47a powerful force slammed into me.

01:27:51I had just propped myself up.

01:27:53I don't know someone like you!

01:28:19After observation ended,

01:28:20I took my medication

01:28:21and slowly walked out.

01:28:23In the second floor hallway,

01:28:24I ran into Carter.

01:28:27Your sister has been traumatized.

01:28:28She can't see you right now.

01:28:32My mother and I will take good care of her.

01:28:34Of course I knew.

01:28:35And once again,

01:28:36he proved to me that Carter

01:28:40he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.
