TVTranscript
00:04My sister was injured and lost her memory.
00:07She forgot everyone, except my husband, Carter Hayes.
00:10She believed he was her boyfriend.
00:12My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway,
00:15clutching my arm and begging me to give Carter back to my sister.
00:21It's only temporary.
00:22Once her memory comes back, everything will go back to normal.
00:25But he didn't know that the moment he nodded,
00:27some things could never go back.
00:30Chloe, you should move out for now.
00:32Clara can't handle any stimulation.
00:35I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.
00:37It's not convenient for you to stay.
00:40What if Clara never gets her memory back?
00:42Are you planning to play along with her forever?
00:45She's your sister.
00:46She's in terrible shape right now.
00:47Just give her some space.
00:51Go pack. Don't take too much.
00:52I'll have someone deal with the rest.
00:53He walked into the living room and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.
00:56Take that too. Clara doesn't like this style.
00:58I'll buy you a new one another day.
01:00That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.
01:03For five years of marriage, I wiped it clean every week.
01:05So in his eyes, it had been ready to throw away all along.
01:09Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.
01:12I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.
01:15When I came back, the designer had already arrived.
01:18Carter was giving instructions.
01:20Persian cashmere rugs.
01:23Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.
01:25He went into the study and tore down my sticky notes one by one, crumpled them, and tossed them into
01:32the trash.
01:34Clear out all the sticky notes you left.
01:36Your sister knows your handwriting.
01:38Don't make her overthink.
01:39I stood in the entryway, watching the home I had lived in for five years slowly turn into another woman's.
01:44It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.
01:46He just didn't have time for me.
01:47I turned to leave.
01:48As I passed the study, I caught sight of a half-open drawer.
01:51Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn.
01:53The scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.
01:55I thought he had thrown it away.
01:57I reached out to pull the drawer open.
01:58Chloe.
02:00Why are you still here?
02:03I didn't answer.
02:04I picked up the bag that held only a few changes of clothes,
02:07and walked out of the house that had once been mine.
02:14At the gate, I texted a real estate agent I hadn't contacted in a long time.
02:20Find me an apartment downtown as soon as possible.
02:23Don't tell my husband.
02:27When I checked into the Marriott downtown, Carter called.
02:31There's a college reunion tonight.
02:33Our old professor will be there.
02:35I'll take you and your sister.
02:37Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.
02:39He hung up after that without the slightest concern for me.
02:43That evening, I returned to my own home as a guest.
02:47Carter opened the door.
02:49The therapist said familiar things could help Clara recover.
02:53I didn't respond.
02:55A sour ache spread through my chest.
02:58Clara came downstairs, linked her arm through Carter's, and smiled at me.
03:03Chloe, you're still the same as in college.
03:06Always tagging along.
03:07All right.
03:08Stop teasing her.
03:19Remember freshman year at the football game?
03:21We were chosen as squad leaders.
03:23We secretly held hands, and someone posted the photo on the forum.
03:26Of course I remember.
03:29And the spring formal.
03:31We hosted it together.
03:33Chloe was there too, right?
03:35I was.
03:36In the audience.
03:38Back then, they were upstairs.
03:40I was below it.
03:42Even after I married Carter, I was still the invisible person in their story.
03:46In the private dining room, our classmates started cheering.
03:49The party queen and the fraternity president are here!
03:52Still holding hands?
03:54When are we getting invitations?
03:58I thought I heard Carter was married.
04:03You must have heard wrong, professor.
04:04I'm not married.
04:06Not yet.
04:08But soon.
04:11I looked away and took a sip of wine.
04:14It tasted bitter.
04:15After a few rounds of drinks, a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.
04:20Chloe, are you seeing anyone?
04:21I always wanted to ask you out back to college.
04:26I'm married.
04:28I've been married for five years.
04:32That was when I suddenly understood.
04:35I had signed my own ticket to hell.
04:43You're married?
04:44To who?
04:47Her husband is a programmer at my company.
04:49He probably has to work late tonight.
04:51Right.
04:51That makes sense.
04:53No offense, but you and your sister were never on the same level.
04:58Chloe, you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime.
05:05Sure.
05:06When there's a chance.
05:09I couldn't sit there any longer, so I excused myself to the restroom.
05:13I was about to go back when I turned and met Carter's eyes.
05:16He had followed me out.
05:18Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.
05:20Give me the keys.
05:22What about me?
05:23It's pouring outside.
05:24If you take the car, how am I supposed to get back?
05:27My car is with the driver for maintenance.
05:29Clara's in bad shape.
05:30Give her some space.
05:31Wait for an Uber.
05:33Give.
05:34Since we were children, I gave Clara everything she wanted.
05:38I gave and gave until I even gave away my husband.
05:42I waited in the restaurant until closing, but no Uber accepted the ride.
05:46It was past midnight when I finally hailed a car.
05:50I had just gotten in when my phone buzzed.
05:52It was a work message from Carter.
05:54The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.
05:56Go to the office and handle it.
05:57I was still his executive assistant.
06:00I told the driver to head to the office, but one encrypted key needed for the project
06:04was in his study.
06:05He didn't answer my calls.
06:07He didn't reply to my messages.
06:09I had no choice but to go home.
06:12No one answered the doorbell, so I entered the passcode and pushed the door open.
06:23Why are you here?
06:25Didn't I tell you not to come back before Clara recovers her memory?
06:27If she finds out about us, everything will be for nothing.
06:30I took out my phone and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.
06:34The project you told me to handle needs the key file.
06:37You didn't answer a single call.
06:41So helping Clara recover her memory requires taking your clothes off.
06:45My clothes got wet.
06:47You've always been sensible.
06:49Don't make a fuss over something so small.
06:51Sensible.
06:52So I deserve to swallow every grievance.
06:54To wait all night in the rain for a ride.
06:56To be called into work in the middle of the night.
06:59To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.
07:02For the first time, I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter was not just my youth,
07:05but myself.
07:06I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.
07:09Go get the file from the study.
07:10Be quiet.
07:17I stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway.
07:21Then I went into the study and got the key file.
07:24But I was so tired.
07:25I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
07:28So the first thing I printed at the printer wasn't the proposal.
07:33It was my resignation letter.
07:35Near dawn, I sent the real estate agent a second message.
07:39Have you settled the apartment?
07:41I need to move in within the next two days.
07:44At daybreak, I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes and was about to return to the hotel.
07:50Clara found our marriage certificate.
07:52She's threatening to jump.
07:53Come back now.
07:53My mother's call came right after.
07:55Why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out?
07:57You just can't stand to see your sister happy.
08:00Can't you apologize for once?
08:01If anything happens to Clara, don't ever call me your mother again.
08:12I wasn't even surprised anymore.
08:14Ever since we were children, whenever Clara was unhappy, I was the one who got blamed.
08:19I rushed to the community.
08:21I had barely reached the police line when Clara pointed at me and screamed.
08:25How could you marry behind my back at City Hall?
08:29The two people I loved most betrayed me together.
08:33Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.
08:44Before I could even breathe, a powerful force slammed into me.
08:49I had just propped myself up.
08:52I don't know someone like you.
08:54I don't have a daughter like you.
09:01My hands shook as I called 911.
09:03Then everything went black.
09:06When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed.
09:10You were a little over six weeks pregnant.
09:12You've just had a miscarriage.
09:14We'll keep you under observation for an hour.
09:17After observation ended, I took my medication and slowly walked out.
09:21In the second floor hallway, I ran into Carter.
09:25Your sister has been traumatized.
09:27She can't see you right now.
09:30My mother and I will take good care of her.
09:32Of course I knew.
09:33And once again, he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.
09:37If he cared even a little, he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.
09:41I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist.
09:43There's something else I need to tell you.
09:46Let's get divorced.
10:14Let's get divorced.
10:18Chloe, you should move out for now.
10:20Clara can't handle any stimulation.
10:23I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.
10:25It's not convenient for you to stay.
10:28What if Clara never gets her memory back?

13:02Stanford.
13:03Carter led Clara across the main quad.
13:07Remember freshman year at the football game?
13:09We were chosen as squad leaders.
13:11We secretly held hands and someone posted the photo on the forum.
13:15Of course I remember.

20:49Carter was giving instructions.
20:51Persian cashmere rugs.
20:53Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.
20:56He went into the study and tore down my sticky notes
20:59one by one, crumpled them, and tossed them into the trash.
21:05Clear out all the sticky notes you left.
21:07Your sister knows your handwriting.
21:09Don't make her overthink.
21:10I stood in the entryway, watching the home I had lived in for five years
21:13slowly turn into another woman's.
21:15It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.
21:16He just didn't have time for me.
21:18I turned to leave.
21:19As I passed the study, I caught sight of a half-open drawer.
21:22Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn.
21:24The scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.
21:26I thought he had thrown it away.
21:27I reached out to pull the drawer open.
21:28Chloe, why are you still here?
21:33I didn't answer.
21:35I picked up the bag that held only a few changes of clothes
21:38and walked out of the house that had once been mine.
21:44At the gate, I texted a real estate agent I hadn't contacted in a long time.
21:50Find me an apartment downtown as soon as possible.
21:53Don't tell my husband.
21:58When I checked into the Marriott downtown, Carter called.
22:02There's a college reunion tonight.
22:04Our old professor will be there.
22:06I'll take you and your sister.
22:07Clara's been recovering pretty well lately.
22:10He hung up after that without the slightest concern for me.
22:13That evening, I returned to my own home as a guest.
22:16Carter opened the door.
22:19The therapist said familiar things could help Clara recover.
22:24I didn't respond.
22:25A sour ache spread through my chest.
22:28Clara came downstairs, linked her arm through Carter's, and smiled at me.
22:33Chloe, you're still the same as in college.
22:36Always tagging along.
22:38All right.
22:39Stop teasing her.
22:45Stanford.
22:46Carter led Clara across the main quad.
22:50Remember freshman year at the football game?
22:52We were chosen as squad leaders.
22:54We secretly held hands and someone posted the photo on the forum.
22:57Of course I remember.
23:00And the spring formal.
23:01We hosted it together.
23:04Chloe was there too, right?
23:05I was.
23:07In the audience.
23:09Back then, they were upstairs.
23:10I was below it.
23:12Even after I married Carter, I was still the invisible person in their story.
23:16In the private dining room, our classmates started cheering.
23:20The party queen and the fraternity president are here!
23:23Still holding hands?
23:24When are we getting invitations?
23:28I thought I heard Carter was married.
23:33You must have heard wrong, professor.
23:35I'm not married.
23:37Not yet.
23:38But soon.
23:41I looked away and took a sip of wine.
23:44It tasted bitter.
23:46After a few rounds of drinks, a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.
23:50Chloe, are you seeing anyone?
23:51I always wanted to ask you out back in college.
23:56I'm married.
23:58I've been married for five years.
24:03That was when I suddenly understood.
24:06I had signed my own ticket to hell.
24:13You're married?
24:14To who?
24:17Her husband is a programmer at my company.
24:19He probably has to work late tonight.
24:21Right.
24:22That makes sense.
24:23No offense, but you and your sister were never on the same level.
24:28Chloe, you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime.
24:35Sure.
24:36When there's a chance.
24:39I couldn't sit there any longer, so I excused myself to the restroom.
24:44I was about to go back when I turned and met Carter's eyes.
24:47He had followed me out.
24:49Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.
24:51Give me the keys.
24:52What about me?
24:53It's pouring outside.
24:55If you take the car, how am I supposed to get back?
24:57My car is with the driver for maintenance.
24:59Clara's in bad shape.
25:01Give her some space.
25:02Wait for an Uber.
25:04Give.
25:04Since we were children, I gave Clara everything she wanted.
25:08I gave and gave until I even gave away my husband.
25:12I waited in the restaurant until closing, but no Uber accepted the ride.
25:17It was past midnight when I finally hailed a car.
25:20I had just gotten in when my phone buzzed.
25:23It was a work message from Carter.
25:24The Europe Cloud Architecture proposal is urgent.
25:26Go to the office and handle it.
25:28I was still his executive assistant.
25:30I told the driver to head to the office, but one encrypted key needed for the project was in his
25:35study.
25:36He didn't answer my calls.
25:37He didn't reply to my messages.
25:39I had no choice but to go home.
25:43No one answered the doorbell, so I entered the passcode and pushed the door open.
25:54Why are you here?
25:55Didn't I tell you not to come back before Clara recovers her memory?
25:58If she finds out about us, everything will be for nothing.
26:01I took out my phone and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.
26:04The project you told me to handle needs the key file.
26:07You didn't answer a single call.
26:11So helping Clara recover her memory requires taking your clothes off.
26:16My clothes got wet.
26:18You've always been sensible.
26:20Don't make a fuss over something so small.
26:22Sensible.
26:22So I deserve to swallow every grievance.
26:25To wait all night in the rain for a ride.
26:27To be called into work in the middle of the night.
26:29To watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.
26:32For the first time, I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter was not just my youth, but myself.
26:37I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.
26:39Go get the file from the study.
26:41Be quiet.
26:47I stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway.
26:51Then I went into the study and got the key file.
26:54But I was so tired.
26:56I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
26:59So the first thing I printed at the printer wasn't the proposal.
27:03It was my resignation letter.
27:06Near dawn, I sent the real estate agent a second message.
27:10Have you settled the apartment?
27:11I need to move in within the next two days.
27:14At daybreak, I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes and was about to return to the hotel.
27:20Clara found our marriage certificate.
27:22She's threatening to jump.
27:23Come back now.
27:24My mother's call came right after.
27:26Why didn't you take the marriage certificate when you moved out?
27:28You just can't stand to see your sister happy.
27:30Can't you apologize for once?
27:32If anything happens to Clara, don't ever call me your mother again.
27:42I wasn't even surprised anymore.
27:45Ever since we were children, whenever Clara was unhappy, I was the one who got blamed.
27:50I rushed to the community.
27:51I had barely reached the police line when Clara pointed at me and screamed.
27:56How could you marry behind my back at City Hall?
28:00The two people I loved most betrayed me together.
28:03Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.
28:14Before I could even breathe, a powerful force slammed into me.
28:20I had just propped myself up.
28:22I don't know someone like you.
28:25I don't have a daughter like you.
28:31My hands shook as I called 911.
28:34Then everything went black.
28:37When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital bed.
28:40You were a little over six weeks pregnant.
28:43You've just had a miscarriage.
28:44We'll keep you under observation for an hour.
28:48After observation ended, I took my medication and slowly walked out.
28:52In the second floor hallway, I ran into Carter.
28:55Your sister has been traumatized.
28:57She can't see you right now.
29:01My mother and I will take good care of her.
29:03Of course I knew.
29:04And once again, he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.
29:07If he cared even a little, he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.
29:11I turned to leave, but he grabbed my wrist.
29:14There's something else I need to tell you.
29:16Let's get divorced.
29:18My sister was injured and lost her memory.
29:20She forgot everyone except my husband, Carter Hayes.
29:23She believed he was her boyfriend.
29:25My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway, clutching my arm and begging me to give Carter back to
29:31my sister.
29:34It's only temporary.
29:36Once her memory comes back, everything will go back to normal.
29:38But he didn't know that the moment he nodded, some things could never go back.
29:43Chloe, you should move out for now.
29:45Clara can't handle any stimulation.
29:48I'm bringing her here so I can take care of her.
29:50It's not convenient for you to stay.
29:53What if Clara never gets her memory back?
29:55Are you planning to play along with her forever?
29:58She's your sister.
29:59She's in terrible shape right now.
30:00Just give her some space.
30:04Go pack.
30:05Don't take too much.
30:05I'll have someone deal with the rest.
30:07He walked into the living room and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.
30:09Take that too.
30:10Clara doesn't like this style.
30:11I'll buy you a new one another day.
30:13That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.
30:16For five years of marriage, I wiped it clean every week.
30:19So in his eyes, it had been ready to throw away all along.
30:22Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.
30:25I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.
30:28When I came back, the designer had already arrived.
30:31Carter was giving instructions.
30:34Persian cashmere rugs.

40:11When I came back,
40:12the designer had already arrived.
40:14Carter was giving instructions.
40:16Persian cashmere rugs.
40:19Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.
40:21He went into the study
40:23and tore down my sticky notes
40:24one by one,
40:26crumpled them,
40:27and tossed them into the trash.
40:30Clear out all the sticky notes you left.
40:32Your sister knows your handwriting.
40:34Don't make her overthink.
40:35I stood in the entryway,
40:37watching the home I had lived in for five years
40:39slowly turn into another woman's.
40:40It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.
40:42He just didn't have time for me.
40:43I turned to leave.
40:44As I passed the study,
40:46I caught sight of a half-open drawer.
40:47Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn.
40:49The scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.
40:51I thought he had thrown it away.
40:52I reached out to pull the drawer open.
40:54Chloe.
40:56Why are you still here?
40:59I didn't answer.
41:00I picked up the bag
41:02that held only a few changes of clothes
41:03and walked out of the house
41:05that had once been mine.
41:10At the gate,
41:11I texted a real estate agent
41:12I hadn't contacted in a long time.
41:16Find me an apartment downtown
41:17as soon as possible.
41:18Don't tell my husband.
41:23When I checked into the Marriott downtown,
41:26Carter called.
41:27There's a college reunion tonight.
41:29Our old professor will be there.
41:31I'll take you and your sister.
41:33Claire has been recovering pretty well lately.
41:35He hung up after that
41:36without the slightest concern for me.
41:39That evening,
41:40I returned to my own home as a guest.
41:42Carter opened the door.
41:45The therapist said
41:46familiar things could help Clara recover.
41:49I didn't respond.
41:51A sour ache spread through my chest.
41:54Clara came downstairs,
41:56linked her arm through Carter's,
41:57and smiled at me.
41:59Chloe, you're still the same as in college.
42:02Always tagging along.
42:04All right.
42:04Stop teasing her.
42:10Stanford.
42:11Carter led Clara across the main quad.
42:15Remember freshman year at the football game?
42:17We were chosen as squad leaders.
42:19We secretly held hands
42:21and someone posted the photo on the forum.
42:23Of course I remember.
42:25And the spring formal.
42:27We hosted it together.
42:29Chloe was there too, right?
42:31I was.
42:32In the audience.
42:33Back then,
42:35they were upstairs.
42:36I was below it.
42:38Even after I married Carter,
42:39I was still the invisible person in their story.
42:42In the private dining room,
42:43our classmates started cheering.
42:45The party queen
42:46and the fraternity president are here!
42:48Still holding hands?
42:50When are we getting invitations?
42:54I thought I heard Carter was married.
42:59You must have heard wrong, professor.
43:00I'm not married.
43:02Not yet.
43:04But soon.
43:07I looked away and took a sip of wine.
43:10It tasted bitter.
43:11After a few rounds of drinks,
43:13a fraternity member beside me
43:14lightly nodged my elbow.
43:16Chloe, are you seeing anyone?
43:17I always wanted to ask you out back in college.
43:22I'm married.
43:24I've been married for five years.
43:28That was when I suddenly understood
43:31I had signed my own ticket to hell.
43:38You're married?
43:40To who?
43:42Her husband is a programmer at my company.
43:45He probably has to work late tonight.
43:47Right.
43:47That makes sense.
43:49No offense,
43:49but you and your sister
43:50were never on the same level.
43:53Chloe,
43:54you should bring your husband out
43:55to meet us sometime.
44:00Sure.
44:02When there's a chance.
44:05I couldn't sit there any longer,
44:06so I excused myself to the restroom.
44:09I was about to go back
44:10when I turned and met Carter's eyes.
44:12He had followed me out.
44:14Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.
44:16Give me the keys.
44:18What about me?
44:19It's pouring outside.
44:20If you take the car,
44:21how am I supposed to get back?
44:23My car is with the driver for maintenance.
44:25Clara's in bad shape.
44:26Give her some space.
44:27Wait for an Uber.
44:29Give.
44:30Since we were children,
44:31I gave Clara everything she wanted.
44:34I gave and gave
44:35until I even gave away my husband.
44:37I waited in the restaurant until closing,
44:40but no Uber accepted the ride.
44:42It was past midnight
44:44when I finally hailed a car.
44:46I had just gotten in
44:47when my phone buzzed.
44:48It was a work message from Carter.
44:50The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.
44:52Go to the office and handle it.
44:53I was still his executive assistant.
44:56I told the driver to head to the office,
44:57but one encrypted key needed for the project
45:00was in his study.
45:01He didn't answer my calls.
45:03He didn't reply to my messages.
45:05I had no choice but to go home.
45:08No one answered the doorbell,
45:10so I entered the passcode
45:11and pushed the door open.
45:19Why are you here?
45:21Didn't I tell you not to come back
45:22before Clara recovers her memory?
45:23If she finds out about us,
45:25everything will be for nothing.
45:26I took out my phone
45:27and held up the dozen missed calls in front of him.
45:30The project you told me to handle
45:31needs the key file.
45:33You didn't answer a single call.
45:37So helping Clara recover her memory
45:39requires taking your clothes off.
45:41My clothes got wet.
45:43You've always been sensible.
45:45Don't make a fuss over something so small.
45:47Sensible.
45:48So I deserve to swallow every grievance.
45:50To wait all night in the rain for a ride.
45:52To be called into work in the middle of the night.
45:54to watch my husband hold another woman in his arms.
45:57For the first time,
45:59I felt that what I had exhausted on Carter
46:00was not just my youth, but myself.
46:02I'll carry Clara to the bedroom first.
46:04Go get the file from the study.
46:06Be quiet.
46:13I stood there and watched him disappear down the hallway.
46:17Then I went into the study and got the key file.
46:20But I was so tired,
46:21I couldn't tolerate it anymore.
46:24So the first thing I printed at the printer
46:26wasn't the proposal.
46:29It was my resignation letter.
46:31Near dawn,
46:32I sent the real estate agent a second message.
46:35Have you settled the apartment?
46:36I need to move in within the next two days.
46:40At daybreak,
46:41I rubbed my red, sleepless eyes
46:42and was about to return to the hotel.
46:46Clara found our marriage certificate.
46:47She's threatening to jump.
46:48Come back now!
46:49My mother's call came right after.
46:51Why didn't you take the marriage certificate
46:52when you moved out?
46:53You just can't stand to see your sister happy.
46:56Can't you apologize for once?
46:57If anything happens to Clara,
46:59don't ever call me your mother again.
47:08I wasn't even surprised anymore.
47:10Ever since we were children,
47:12whenever Clara was unhappy,
47:13I was the one who got blamed.
47:15I rushed to the community.
47:17I had barely reached the police line
47:18when Clara pointed at me and screamed.
47:21How could you marry behind my back at City Hall?
47:25The two people I loved most betrayed me together.
47:29Clara, the only person I've ever loved is you.
47:40Before I could even breathe,
47:42a powerful force slammed into me.
47:45I had just propped myself up.
47:48I don't know someone like you.
47:50I don't have a daughter like you!
47:57My hands shook as I called 911.
47:59Then everything went black.
48:02When I woke up,
48:04I was lying in a hospital bed.
48:06You were a little over six weeks pregnant.
48:08You've just had a miscarriage.
48:10We'll keep you under observation for an hour.
48:13After observation ended,
48:15I took my medication and slowly walked out.
48:17In the second floor hallway,
48:19I ran into Carter.
48:21Your sister has been traumatized.
48:23She can't see you right now.
48:26My mother and I will take good care of her.
48:28Of course I knew.
48:29And once again,
48:30he proved to me that Carter didn't love me at all.
48:33If he cared even a little,
48:34he wouldn't have missed how pale I looked.
48:36I turned to leave,
48:38but he grabbed my wrist.
48:39There's something else I need to tell you.
48:42Let's get divorced.
48:46Let's get divorced.
