00:00:24To be continued...
00:00:30We'll 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.
00:00:49Go 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.
00:00:58That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.
00:01:01For 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.
00:01:35I 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.
00:01:59Why 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
00:02:06and walked out of the house that had once been mine.
00:02:13At the gate, I texted a real estate agent I hadn't contacted in a long time.
00:02:18Find 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.
00:02:41That 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.
00:02:56Clara 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.
00:03:06All right.
00:03:07Stop teasing her.
00:03:13Stanford.
00:03:14Carter led Clara across the main quad.
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?
00:03:52When are we getting invitations?
00:03:56I thought I heard Carter was married.
00:04:01You must have heard wrong, professor.
00:04:03I'm not married.
00:04:05Not yet.
00:04:06But soon.
00:04:09I looked away and took a sip of wine.
00:04:12It tasted bitter.
00:04:14After a few rounds of drinks, a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.
00:04:18Chloe, are you seeing anyone?
00:04:20I always wanted to ask you out back in college.
00:04:25I'm married.
00:04:26I'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?
00:04:42To who?
00:04:45Her husband is a programmer at my company.
00:04:48He probably has to work late tonight.
00:04:49Right.
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.
00:05:04When 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.
00:05:16Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.
00:05:19Give me the keys.
00:05:21What about me?
00:05:21It'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.
00:05:36I 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.
00:05:48I 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.
00:05:58I 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 Clara 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.
00:06:32The project you told me to handle needs the key file.
00:06:35You didn't answer a single call.
00:06:40So helping Clara 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.
00:06:50So 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.
00:06:57To 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,
00:07:04but myself.
00:07:05I'll carry Clara 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.
00:07:19Then I went into the study and got the key file.
00:07:22But 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?
00:07:39I 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.
00:07:48Clara 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.
00:07:58Can'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.
00:08:32Clara, 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.
00:08:50I 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.
00:09:08You 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.
00:09:25She 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.
00:09:35If 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.
00:09:44Let'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.
00:10:17But 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.
00:10:38She's in terrible shape right now.
00:10:39Just give her some space.
00:10:43Go pack.
00:10:43Don't take too much.
00:10:44I'll have someone deal with the rest.
00:10:45He walked into the living room and pointed at the Tiffany lamp on the wall.
00:10:48Take that too.
00:10:49Clara doesn't like this style.
00:10:50I'll buy you a new one another day.
00:10:52That lamp was the first birthday gift he had ever given me.

00:11:01Maybe it wasn't just the lamp he wanted to throw away.
00:11:04I carried the lamp downstairs to the trash bins.
00:11:07When I came back, the designer had already arrived.
00:11:10Carter was giving instructions.
00:11:12Persian cashmere rugs.
00:11:15Egyptian long-steption cotton bedding.
00:11:17He went into the study and tore down my sticky notes one by one,
00:11:22crumpled them,
00:11:23and tossed them 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.
00:11:32I stood in the entryway,
00:11:33watching the home I had lived in for five years slowly turn into another woman's.
00:11:36It wasn't that Carter didn't have time.
00:11:38He just didn't have time for me.
00:11:39I turned to leave.
00:11:40As I passed the study,
00:11:41I caught sight of a half-open drawer.
00:11:43Inside was a glimpse of gray-blue yarn,
00:11:45the scarf I had half-knitted three years ago.
00:11:47I thought he had thrown it away.
00:11:48I reached out to pull the drawer open.
00:11:50Chloe,

00:13:00Stop teasing her.
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,
00:13:17and someone posted the photo on the forum.
00:13:19Of course I remember.
00:13:21And the spring formal.
00:13:23We hosted it together.
00:13:25Chloe was there too, right?
00:13:27I was.
00:13:28In the audience.

00:13:41The party queen and the fraternity president are here!
00:13:44Still holding hands?
00:13:46When are we getting invitations?
00:13:50I thought I heard Carter was married.
00:13:54You must have heard wrong, professor.
00:13:56I'm not married.
00:13:58Not yet.
00:14:00But soon.
00:14:03I looked away and took a sip of wine.
00:14:06It tasted bitter.
00:14:07After a few rounds of drinks,
00:14:09a fraternity member beside me lightly nodged my elbow.
00:14:12Chloe, are you seeing anyone?
00:14:13I always wanted to ask you out back to college.
00:14:18I'm married.
00:14:20I've been married for five years.
00:14:24That was when I suddenly understood.

00:14:49Chloe,
00:14:50you should bring your husband out to meet us sometime.

00:15:01I couldn't sit there any longer,

00:15:05I was about to go back
00:15:06when I turned and met Carter's eyes.
00:15:08He had followed me out.
00:15:10Clara likes the pink Porsche you drove here.
00:15:12Give me the keys.
00:15:14What about me?
00:15:15It's pouring outside.
00:15:16If you take the car,

00:15:42I had just gotten in when my phone buzzed.
00:15:44It was a work message from Carter.
00:15:46The Europe Cloud architecture proposal is urgent.
00:15:48Go to the office and handle it.
00:15:50I was still his executive assistant.
00:15:52I told the driver to head to the office,
00:15:53but one encrypted key needed for the project was in his study.

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

00:29:43My sister was injured and lost her memory.
00:29:45She forgot everyone except my husband, Carter Hayes.
00:29:49She believed he was her boyfriend.
00:29:51My mother broke down crying in the hospital hallway,

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

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

01:09:05First?
01:09:06I don't know.
01:09:08I don't know.
01:09:08I don't doubt.
01:09:09I don't know.
01:09:11Peace.
01:09:11Too much, too.
01:09:12I don't know.
01:09:12Oh, God.
