Transcript

00:00:00$50,000 a month. Room and board included. Looking after a 4-year-old child. I stared at the job

00:00:07listing on my phone screen, convinced my eyes were playing tricks on me. I checked it 3 times. No mistake.

00:00:14$50,000. $50,000. I was crouched in a corner of the hospital hallway with exactly $307 left to my

00:00:21name. Three days earlier, my fiancé, Malzak Thornton, had thrown me out of our wedding home.

00:00:26Serena, I'm marrying your sister. Pack your things and leave.

00:00:31My sister. Celeste Wynn. The daughter my father's second wife brought into our family. She stood there in the wedding

00:00:38dress I had picked out in the home I had spent 6 months decorating and smiled at me.

00:00:42Thanks for warming up the bed for me, sis.

00:00:46I didn't cry. My mother was still lying in the ICU, the bills pouring out like water through an open

00:00:52tap.

00:00:52My father.

00:00:54Sarah, if your sister marries in, the Thornton family's bride price will pay her mother's treatment. Just let this one

00:01:00go.

00:01:00Let this one go. Let go of my fiancé, Mal. Let go of my wedding home. Let go of my

00:01:06dignity. And in the end, they didn't spend a single cent on my mother. So now, I needed money. A

00:01:12lot of it.

00:01:13I dialed the number from the listing.

00:01:16Hello, you've reached Carrington Domestic Services.

00:01:18Are you calling about the live and nanny position with the $50,000 monthly salary?

00:01:22Yes. May I ask your age?

00:01:2424.

00:01:25Education? Master of Clinical Medicine from North Fort University. Minor in Child Psychology.

00:01:30Please be at the main gate of Lakeview Manor tomorrow morning at 10. Someone will receive you.

00:01:34I hung up and looked down at my wrinkled t-shirt and sneakers. Doesn't matter. I'm applying to be a

00:01:39nanny, not walking a runway.

00:01:41The next day. Lakeview Manor.

00:01:45I stood at the entrance and my entire brain short-circuited. This was an entire mountain. And there was only

00:01:51one house on it.

00:01:52No, calling it a house would be an insult. This was an estate.

00:01:57Miss Wynn, this way, please.

00:01:58The butler led me along the 200-yard tree-lined path, past the private stables, indoor heated swimming pool, and

00:02:05indoor botanical garden, before finally stopping in the Grand Hall.

00:02:09I fought to keep my expression neutral.

00:02:11Mr. Carrington isn't home at the moment. You'll meet the young master first.

00:02:15The butler brought me to a room on the second floor.

00:02:18The door opened. A little boy sat on the carpet, a row of building blocks arranged before him in perfect

00:02:24order.

00:02:24He looked up at me. His eyes were striking. Deep blue, like two pieces of polished sapphire.

00:02:32Noah, this is the new nanny.

00:02:33The young master didn't speak at all until he was three.

00:02:36He said his first word last year, but even now, now, he only says a few words to Mr. Carrington

00:02:40occasionally.

00:02:41The previous nannies, the longest one, lasted a week.

00:02:44Why did they leave?

00:02:45The young master is... difficult.

00:02:48I crouched down to meet the boy at eye level. He ignored me. I just sat quietly beside him, picked

00:02:54up a block, and placed it next to the castle he was building.

00:02:57He glanced at it, then picked up the block I had placed and threw it aside. I picked up another

00:03:02and put it in a different spot. He threw that one, too.

00:03:05Farther this time.

00:03:06I picked up a third block. This time, I started building a tiny swing set beside it instead. His hand

00:03:13stopped. He stared at the swing set for three full seconds, then took a block from his own castle and

00:03:20placed it next to the swing set. The butler froze in the doorway. I smiled.

00:03:25Your castle is beautiful.

00:03:27He didn't answer, but he didn't throw my block away. The butler brought me back downstairs, his expression complicated.

00:03:34Miss Wynne, you're the first person who hasn't had something thrown at them by the young master.

00:03:38Throwing blocks doesn't count.

00:03:40The previous nannies got flower vases thrown at them.

00:03:42Mr. Carrington will be home this evening. He'll interview you personally. Until then, feel free to familiarize yourself with the

00:03:47grounds and change into your uniform.

00:03:49Second floor, the living quarters.

00:03:52The entire third floor was the master suite.

00:03:55That is Mr. Carrington's private space. No one is permitted entry.

00:03:58My room was on the second floor, right next to Noah's room.

00:04:02I sat on the edge of the bed and stared into space for a while.

00:04:06Three days ago, I was being thrown out of my wedding home.

00:04:09Now I was sitting in an estate worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

00:04:12Life has a twisted sense of humor.

00:04:14Eight o'clock that evening. Movement downstairs.

00:04:17The butler knocked on my door. I went down.

00:04:23A man stood in the entryway, bent over, untying his shoelaces.

00:04:27When he straightened up, only one thought filled my mind.

00:04:30This man is impossibly good-looking.

00:04:33His features were striking, but not harsh.

00:04:37The kind of handsome that made you unable to look away and too intimidated to get close.

00:04:42He lifted his eyes to me.

00:04:44His gaze was faint, like he was looking at a piece of insignificant furniture.

00:04:48You're the new hire?

00:04:52Yes. Serena wine.

00:04:54He didn't reply.

00:04:55The butler handed him a glass of water.

00:04:58Education?

00:04:59Master of clinical medicine. Northport University.

00:05:02Why become a nanny?

00:05:04I need money.

00:05:09He raised an eyebrow slightly.

00:05:12Noah's situation? The butler filled you in?

00:05:15Yes.

00:05:17Eight nannies before you.

00:05:18The longest lasted seven days.

00:05:24How long do you think you'll last?

00:05:27I don't know.

00:05:29But he didn't throw a vase at me this afternoon.

00:05:32His fingers paused on the water glass.

00:05:38One month probation.

00:05:40The butler will go over the rules.

00:05:41Noah's daily routine cannot be disrupted.

00:05:43He doesn't like strangers touching him.

00:05:46Don't force him to speak.

00:05:48One more thing.

00:05:50The third floor.

00:05:52Stay out.

00:05:53The whole exchange lasted less than three minutes.

00:05:55As I turned to go upstairs, I heard the butler say,

00:05:59Mr. Carrington, this Ms. Wynn seems steady.

00:06:04He didn't answer.

00:06:06I closed my bedroom door, sat on the bed, and pulled out my phone.

00:06:09Bank balance.

00:06:16I took a deep breath and sent the butler a message.

00:06:19Is it possible to get an advance on my salary?

00:06:24Two minutes later, the butler replied,

00:06:26Mr. Carrington says wages are calculated daily starting from day one of probation.

00:06:31Your first day's pay will be transferred tomorrow.

00:06:35At a $50,000 monthly rate, that's $1,666 per day.

00:06:41$1,600 a day.

00:06:44My hand trembled slightly as I held the phone.

00:06:46Enough.

00:06:47Survive first.

00:06:48Everything else can wait.

00:06:50The next morning, my alarm went off at six.

00:06:53I washed up and stepped out to find Noah already awake.

00:06:55He was sitting on the windowsill in his room, hugging a gray stuffed rabbit, staring outside.

00:07:01Sunlight fell across his face.

00:07:03His skin was so pale it was nearly translucent.

00:07:06Good morning.

00:07:08It's a beautiful day.

00:07:10There's mist on the lake.

00:07:11Still nothing.

00:07:12I didn't push.

00:07:14I turned and went to help the kitchen prepare breakfast.

00:07:17Mr. Carrington has left for the day.

00:07:20Noah's breakfast was usually milk, eggs, and toast.

00:07:23I carried the tray upstairs.

00:07:25Noah was still on the windowsill.

00:07:27Breakfast time.

00:07:28He glanced at me but didn't move.

00:07:30I set the tray on the small table beside him, then sat down across from him.

00:07:35I didn't rush him.

00:07:37About five minutes passed.

00:07:38Noah reached out and took a piece of toast.

00:07:40Took a bite.

00:07:42I pretended not to notice.

00:07:44He finished the entire piece of toast and drank half his milk.

00:07:47Then he looked at my phone screen, dense with medical terminology, and his little brow furrowed.

00:07:53What are you reading?

00:07:55He spoke.

00:07:56The butler had said he barely said a word to anyone except Lucian Carrington.

00:08:00Some information about treating illnesses.

00:08:03Who's sick?

00:08:05My mother.

00:08:10I don't have a mother.

00:08:11In that moment, something stabbed right through my chest.

00:08:16I just said,

00:08:17Then if you ever feel unwell, you can tell me.

00:08:20I studied how to treat people.

00:08:22He looked up at me.

00:08:24In those sapphire eyes, there was something slightly different.

00:08:27Faint.

00:08:27But I caught it.

00:08:29After breakfast, the butler came upstairs to collect the drink.

00:08:32When he saw the half-empty milk glass,

00:08:34Miss Wynn, the young master usually only eats two bites at breakfast.

00:08:38He finished a whole piece of toast today.

00:08:40The butler's face could only be described as seeing a ghost.

00:08:43At ten that morning, I was keeping Noah company in the playroom while he drew.

00:08:48He was drawing a house with a tall figure standing beside it.

00:08:51Only one figure.

00:08:52I didn't ask who it was.

00:08:54My phone rang.

00:08:55Unknown number.

00:08:59Hello?

00:09:00Serena.

00:09:01The moment I heard that voice, my hand clenched.

00:09:04Zach Thornton, my ex-fiance.

00:09:06How did you get my number?

00:09:08I've always had it.

00:09:10Serena, I'm calling about something serious.

00:09:12Your mother's hospital bills.

00:09:14You're running out of money, aren't you?

00:09:16We have nothing serious between us.

00:09:18Your father told me.

00:09:20He says you're carrying everything alone now.

00:09:22No place to live, either.

00:09:24My father.

00:09:26The wonderful father who gave my wedding home and my fiancé to Celeste.

00:09:30Serena, Celesta and I talked about it.

00:09:32We can cover your mother's medical expenses.

00:09:34On what condition?

00:09:35Be Celesta's maid of honor.

00:09:38Excuse me?

00:09:39We're getting married next month.

00:09:40Celesta wants you as her maid of honor.

00:09:42You know how it is.

00:09:43You're sisters.

00:09:43It would look good in front of everyone.

00:09:45You're using my wedding date, my wedding planner, my wedding dress, and now you want

00:09:48to use me too?

00:09:50I laughed.

00:09:51I actually laughed.

00:09:52Zach, do you think I'm that easy to walk all over?

00:09:55I hung up.

00:09:57Noah stopped drawing and looked up at me.

00:09:59You're sad.

00:10:00He said.

00:10:02It's nothing.

00:10:03Keep drawing.

00:10:04He looked down and added another small figure to the paper, standing beside the tall one.

00:10:10At noon, I got a call from the hospital.

00:10:13Mrs. Wynn, your mother's medical fees must be paid before 5 o'clock today, or we'll be

00:10:17forced to suspend some treatments.

00:10:19$12,000.

00:10:21I had $307,000 plus today's $1,600, less than $2,000, $10,000 short.

00:10:28I called everyone I could think of to borrow from.

00:10:31College friends, former colleagues, distant relatives.

00:10:35No one picked up.

00:10:36Or they did, with a string of apologies.

00:10:393.30 in the afternoon.

00:10:41I stood at the end of the second floor hallway, staring out at the lake, and for the first

00:10:46time, I felt like I was about to break.

00:10:48Ms. Wynn.

00:10:51What is it?

00:10:52Mr. Carrington asked me to inform you.

00:10:54A month's salary has been advanced to your account.

00:10:57I froze.

00:10:58I pulled out my phone.

00:11:00A bank notification.

00:11:01Deposit.

00:11:03$50,000.

00:11:04$50,000 in full.

00:11:06I stared at the number, unable to speak.

00:11:09Mr. Carrington said it's an advance, not charity.

00:11:12Deduct what's owed, then resume regular monthly payment.

00:11:17Tell Mr. Carrington.

00:11:20Thank you.

00:11:23I turned.

00:11:24Lucian Carrington had returned at some point.

00:11:27Don't thank me.

00:11:29Just take good care of Noah.

00:11:31He walked past me without slowing.

00:11:33He went up to the third floor.

00:11:34The door closed.

00:11:36I stood there, gripping my phone.

00:11:38$50,000.

00:11:40My mother was going to be okay.

00:11:42At 4.30, I rushed to the hospital and paid the $12,000 in medical fees.

00:11:46My mother lay in the hospital bed, nothing but skin and bones.

00:11:52Sarah, where did the money come from?

00:11:55I found a job.

00:11:56The pay is good, Mom.

00:11:58Don't worry.

00:11:59What kind of job?

00:12:03Taking care of a child.

00:12:05Sarah, your father came by.

00:12:08My expression went cold instantly.

00:12:11What did he want?

00:12:12He said Celeste's getting married.

00:12:14Told me not to hold a grudge.

00:12:15He also said, if you agree to be the maid of R, they'll cover the surgery costs.

00:12:20Mom, the surgery is all we paid for.

00:12:23We don't need their money.

00:12:25I've been such a burden to you.

00:12:28No, you haven't.

00:12:29I pressed her hand firmly.

00:12:30You just focus on getting better.

00:12:33Leave everything else to me.

00:12:35I left the hospital after dark and stood outside waiting for a cab.

00:12:38A white Porsche suddenly pulled up in front of me.

00:12:42The window rolled down.

00:12:43Celeste Wynn sat in the passenger seat, makeup flawless, a smirk on her lips.

00:12:47Well, well, little sister, what are you doing here?

00:12:54Zach Thornton was in the driver's seat.

00:12:56When he saw me, his expression turned uncomfortable.

00:12:59Visiting Mom.

00:13:00Oh, Zach and I were just coming to visit Aunt 2.

00:13:03Perfect timing.

00:13:05By the way, sis, Zach told you about the maid of Maren thing, right?

00:13:09Have you thought about it?

00:13:11No.

00:13:12Come on, don't be so petty.

00:13:14Zach and I are truly in love.

00:13:16You can't hold a grudge forever.

00:13:18I'm not holding a grudge.

00:13:21I'm just not interested.

00:13:22Serena, Celisha is being kind.

00:13:25Don't be ungrateful.

00:13:26Ungrateful?

00:13:26You and my sister slept in my bed.

00:13:28You're using my wedding dress to get married.

00:13:30And now you want me to stand there as maid of honor and smile for you?

00:13:33Zach, has something gone wrong with your brain?

00:13:35His face flushed red.

00:13:36You-

00:13:38Enough.

00:13:39I turned and walked away.

00:13:40Serena!

00:13:41Don't get cocky!

00:13:43You think you can find someone better than Zach?

00:13:44Look at you! You don't even have a place to live!

00:13:46I didn't look back.

00:13:49Lakeview Manor?

00:13:51Ma'am, are you sure that address is right?

00:13:53That's the Carrington private estate.

00:13:56I'm the Carrington's nanny.

00:13:59The driver didn't say another word.

00:14:04It was nearly nine when I got back to the estate.

00:14:06The butler said Noah was already asleep.

00:14:08I quietly pushed open Noah's door to check on him.

00:14:11The little guy was curled up with that gray rabbit, sleeping soundly.

00:14:15A piece of drawing paper sat on his nightstand.

00:14:17I picked it up.

00:14:18It was the drawing from that afternoon.

00:14:20A house.

00:14:21A tall figure.

00:14:23A short one.

00:14:24And beside the short figure, two words had been added.

00:14:27Crooked and barely legible, but readable.

00:14:30Nanny Sarah.

00:14:31Close the door.

00:14:33Back in my own room, I sat on the bed, covered my face, and cried huo silently.

00:14:38Not from bitterness, because it had been so long since someone made me feel needed.

00:14:43Day three.

00:14:43I was starting to understand Noah's patterns.

00:14:46He didn't like being touched, but he could tolerate someone staying at arm's length.

00:14:50He didn't like noise, so I softened my voice whenever I spoke to him.

00:14:54He loved drawing.

00:14:55Loved blocks.

00:14:57Loved sitting on the windowsill staring into space.

00:15:00He loved that gray rabbit more than anything.

00:15:02Took it everywhere.

00:15:03In the morning, I tried telling him a story.

00:15:06He wasn't interested at first, but slowly inched closer.

00:15:09The story was about a rabbit going on an adventure.

00:15:12When I got to the part where the rabbit fell into a river, he suddenly asked,

00:15:16Can it swim?

00:15:17What do you think?

00:15:18He considered it.

00:15:20Teach it.

00:15:21All right.

00:15:21Then you teach it how to swim.

00:15:23He took over the story, stumbling through a few sentences.

00:15:26The butler stood in the doorway, his eyes glistening.

00:15:29Later, he told me,

00:15:31Miss Wynn, the last time the young master said this many words was two years ago.

00:15:35That afternoon, Lucian Carrington came home early.

00:15:38When Noah saw Lucian, his eyes lit up.

00:15:41Daddy.

00:15:42Lucian walked over, knelt on one knee, and ruffled his hair.

00:15:45Were you good today?

00:15:47Nanny taught me to build a bridge.

00:15:49Lucian glanced at me.

00:15:50His gaze was a fraction warmer than yesterday.

00:15:53Just a fraction.

00:15:54Good.

00:15:55I wasn't sure if he meant Noah or me.

00:15:57He stood up and said to the butler,

00:15:59Have the kitchen add an extra dish.

00:16:01Miss Wynn will join us for dinner tonight.

00:16:02It was the first time I ate at the same table as Lucian Carrington.

00:16:06His table manners were impeccable.

00:16:08Noah sat beside him, feeding himself with his spoon.

00:16:11Lucian looked at me.

00:16:12What were you doing before this?

00:16:14Interning at a clinic.

00:16:16Why didn't you continue?

00:16:17The clinic shut down.

00:16:19The truth was my advisor had run into trouble.

00:16:21The entire research project was suspended and my internship went with it.

00:16:25He didn't press.

00:16:25Noah has a checkup tomorrow.

00:16:27You'll go with him.

00:16:28What kind of checkup?

00:16:29Developmental pediatrics.

00:16:30He goes every month.

00:16:32Okay.

00:16:33After dinner, Lucian went up to the third floor.

00:16:36I helped Noah brush his teeth, gave him a bath, and told him a bedtime story.

00:16:41He fell asleep mid-story, his little hand still clutching my sleeve.

00:16:44I carefully freed my sleeve and tucked him in.

00:16:46I looked back from the doorway.

00:16:48This child, Huo, he just needed someone with patience to stay by his side.

00:16:52Day 4.

00:16:52Morning.

00:16:53I took Noah to Northport Children's Hospital.

00:16:56The butler drove us to the entrance.

00:16:58VIP Lane.

00:16:59Noah!

00:17:00Here to see Dr. Lin again.

00:17:01Noah hid behind me, peeking out with half his face.

00:17:04And this is...

00:17:05Serena Nguyen, Noah's nanny.

00:17:08Dr. Lin adjusted his glasses, studying me.

00:17:10You don't look much like a nanny.

00:17:12Is there a standard look for nannies?

00:17:14He smiled and began Noah's examination.

00:17:16Noah's physical indicators are all normal, but his social skills and language development

00:17:21are still behind.

00:17:22But he's jacked at every stranger so far.

00:17:24But today, he actually came willingly with you.

00:17:27That's already significant progress.

00:17:29Which number nanny are you?

00:17:30The ninth.

00:17:31I've met all eight before you.

00:17:33None of them could keep Noah this calm in an exam room.

00:17:36Have you studied child psychology?

00:17:38It was my minor.

00:17:39Northport University?

00:17:40Yes.

00:17:41Who was your advisor?

00:17:43Professor Cedric Stanton.

00:17:44Dr. Lin stared at me for several long seconds.

00:17:47Professor Stanton's final prop mao g mao,

00:17:50the Serena win who won the National Pediatric Pathology Competition,

00:17:53I hadn't expected him to know.

00:17:55Yes.

00:17:55I've read your paper.

00:17:57Outstanding work.

00:18:00How did you end up...

00:18:01He looked at me and stopped mid-sentence.

00:18:04Life takes turns.

00:18:05Dr. Lin, could you send me a copy of Noah's detailed report?

00:18:08I'd like to design some targeted interaction plans based on his condition.

00:18:11Of course.

00:18:12Miss Wien, Noah is very fortunate to have met you.

00:18:16Leaving the hospital, the butler came to pick us up.

00:18:18Noah sat in the back seat.

00:18:20For the first time, he voluntarily tugged at the hem of my shirt.

00:18:23Nampi Sarah?

00:18:24Yes?

00:18:25Will you still be here tomorrow?

00:18:27Yes.

00:18:28He nodded, saying nothing more, but the corner of his mouth lifted just slightly.

00:18:32The butler caught it in the rear view mirror and nearly swerved off the roof.

00:18:35Miss Wien, Mr. Carrington has a visitor this afternoon.

00:18:38Please keep the young master upstairs.

00:18:40What kind of visitor?

00:18:42Mrs. Carrington.

00:18:43I blinked.

00:18:44Isn't Mr. Carrington...

00:18:45The former Mrs. Carrington.

00:18:47The butler's expression was delicate.

00:18:49The young master's biological mother.

00:18:51Noah's mother?

00:18:52I thought he didn't have a mother.

00:18:54I can't say too much about the details, but remember, no matter what happens, do not let

00:18:59the young master go downstairs.

00:19:02Two o'clock that afternoon, the sound of high heels echoed up from the first floor.

00:19:06Loud.

00:19:07Every step carried authority.

00:19:09I was upstairs drawing with Noah.

00:19:11He suddenly stopped his pencil, his entire body going rigid.

00:19:15He heard her.

00:19:16Nanny Sarah.

00:19:17She's here.

00:19:18His hands were shaking.

00:19:20I crouched down to his level.

00:19:22Noah, you don't want to see her, do you?

00:19:24He shook his head.

00:19:25Then you won't.

00:19:26Let's keep drawing.

00:19:28A woman's voice rose from downstairs, Hua.

00:19:30Crisp.

00:19:31But with an indefinable sharpness.

00:19:33Where's Noah?

00:19:34Bring him down.

00:19:35I want to see him.

00:19:36You don't have that right.

00:19:37I'm his mother!

00:19:38You gave up custody when he was six months old.

00:19:42Lydia, what exactly do you want?

00:19:46I silently filed that name away.

00:19:48The argument downstairs lasted about 20 minutes.

00:19:51At several points, Lydia raised her voice and Noah's body flinched every single time.

00:19:55I said nothing.

00:19:56I just sat beside him, quietly drawing with him.

00:19:59Eventually, the noise downstairs stopped.

00:20:01The click of high heels faded away.

00:20:03Noah set down his pencil, crawled over to me, and buried his face in my arm.

00:20:07Nanny Sarah.

00:20:09Hmm?

00:20:10Don't leave.

00:20:12My nose stung.

00:20:13I won't leave.

00:20:14That evening, Lucian came upstairs.

00:20:16He stood at Noah's doorway and watched Noah sleeping against me, silent for a long moment.

00:20:22Lydia came by.

00:20:23He didn't deny it.

00:20:24What does she want?

00:20:26Money.

00:20:27It's always money.

00:20:30Noah is terrified of her.

00:20:32I know.

00:20:33He was trembling the entire time today.

00:20:35Lucian's hand tightened into a fist.

00:20:37I'll handle it.

00:20:39Thank you for today.

00:20:40He turned to leave.

00:20:41Mr. Carrington.

00:20:43He stopped.

00:20:43Noah isn't unable to speak.

00:20:45He's afraid.

00:20:46What he fears isn't strangers.

00:20:48It's being abandoned.

00:20:50His back was to me.

00:20:51He didn't move.

00:20:52Hmm.

00:20:53He walked away.

00:20:54But I saw his shoulders were rigid.

00:20:56Day five.

00:20:57Everything seemed to be falling into a rhythm.

00:21:00Morning.

00:21:00Drawing.

00:21:01Blocks.

00:21:02Stories with Noah.

00:21:04Afternoon.

00:21:04Walking around the estate together.

00:21:06He was starting to let me hold his hand now.

00:21:09Evening.

00:21:10Bedtime stories.

00:21:11He listened to every single one before falling asleep.

00:21:14The words were coming more and more.

00:21:16Still sparse, but noticeably more than before.

00:21:19The butler said Lucian had been coming home earlier lately.

00:21:22He used to return past midnight.

00:21:24Now he was almost always back before nine.

00:21:27First thing he did, check on Noah.

00:21:29If Noah was already asleep, he'd stand at the door for a moment, take a look, and then

00:21:33go up to the third floor.

00:21:35That day, I was in the kitchen, helping prepare Noah's afternoon snack.

00:21:38My phone rang.

00:21:39Caller ID.

00:21:40Dad.

00:21:40I hesitated for two seconds, then answered.

00:21:44Sarah.

00:21:45What do you want?

00:21:46How do you sister wedding?

00:21:48No.

00:21:49Why are you so stubborn?

00:21:51Celeste is your sister.

00:21:52She's your wife's baggage, not my sister.

00:21:55Silence on the other end.

00:21:56Serena, watch your mouth.

00:21:58Your mother is the way she is because of that attitude of yours.

00:22:00Because of what?

00:22:01Because she was abandoned by you?

00:22:03Steven, my mother is lying in a hospital bed right now, and you haven't contributed

00:22:07a single penny.

00:22:08What gives you the right to even talk to me?

00:22:10I don't have money.

00:22:11You know the situation at home?

00:22:13No money at home, but Celeste's Porsche was bought with pocket winch?

00:22:15Zach bought that for her.

00:22:17Even better.

00:22:18Spending my ex-fiance's money driving the car in front of me to rub it in.

00:22:21You people are truly something.

00:22:23Serena, are you coming or not?

00:22:25If you don't, your mother's surgery costs...

00:22:27I've covered the surgery costs myself.

00:22:29Don't trouble yourself.

00:22:30I hung up.

00:22:31My fingers were trembling slightly.

00:22:33Not from fear.

00:22:34From disgust.

00:22:36Your father?

00:22:37Lucian Carrington was standing in the kitchen doorway.

00:22:40An empty glass in his hand.

00:22:41Probably came to get water.

00:22:42Yeah.

00:22:43Not on good terms?

00:22:44No relationship at all.

00:22:46A double meaning quo.

00:22:48Answering his question, and stating the truth about me and my father.

00:22:51He looked at me for a second.

00:22:53Didn't ask anything else.

00:22:54As he walked past me, he set down the empty glass.

00:22:57It wasn't empty.

00:22:58There was a piece of candy inside.

00:23:01I stared at that candy for several long seconds.

00:23:04Lucian Carrington never ate candy.

00:23:07The candy in his study drawer was meant for Noah.

00:23:09But Noah didn't like this brand.

00:23:11So that piece of candy had been sitting there.

00:23:14Until today, when he gave it to me.

00:23:16I don't know if it was meant as comfort.

00:23:18But that night I ate it.

00:23:20It was very sweet.

00:23:21Day 7.

00:23:22I officially made it through my first week of probation.

00:23:24None of the previous Nammies had made it past 7 days.

00:23:28You were the first.

00:23:30Lucian came home especially early that day, Huo, 6 o'clock.

00:23:33Noah ran to take his hand.

00:23:34Daddy, Nanny taught me to fold a rabbit today.

00:23:37He pulled a crookedly folded paper rabbit from his pocket and held it up to Lucian.

00:23:41Lucian took it and studied.

00:23:42Good.

00:23:43Noah ran back to me.

00:23:44Nammie, Sarah, teach Daddy to fold one too.

00:23:47Lucian and I both froze.

00:23:48Your daddy's probably busy.

00:23:50I'm not busy.

00:23:51And then he actually sat down and picked up a piece of paper.

00:23:54I taught him how to fold a paper rabbit.

00:23:56His hands were large, knuckles well defined, and surprisingly clumsy with origami.

00:24:00He failed three times in a row.

00:24:02Noah was doubled over laughing beside him.

00:24:04Lucian eventually produced a rabbit that barely passed his one.

00:24:08One ear long, one ear short.

00:24:10Noah took it and placed it beside his own.

00:24:12Daddy rabbit and baby rabbit.

00:24:15Nammie, Sarah, fold one too.

00:24:18I folded one.

00:24:19Noah placed all three rabbits side by side on the windowsill.

00:24:23Rabbit family.

00:24:25Lucian looked at me.

00:24:26I couldn't quite read the expression in his eyes, but the corner of his mouth moved, barely

00:24:30perceptible, but I caught it.

00:24:32That night, after putting Noah to bed, I went downstairs for water and ran into Lucian

00:24:37in the hallway.

00:24:37He was leaning against the railing, phone in hand, lost in thought.

00:24:43Noah sleep?

00:24:44He asked.

00:24:45Sleeping.

00:24:46He laughed several times today.

00:24:49Hmm.

00:24:51A moment of silence.

00:24:54Serena.

00:24:56Yes?

00:24:58Your probation doesn't need to last the full month.

00:25:02My heart seized, whoa.

00:25:04I thought he was about to fire me.

00:25:07Starting tomorrow, you're permanent.

00:25:11Salary raised to $60,000.

00:25:13I was standing on the stairs and nearly missed a step.

00:25:17Mr. Carrington?

00:25:18You're worth it.

00:25:19He said it and went upstairs.

00:25:21I stood gripping the banister for a long time.

00:25:23$60,000.

00:25:25$60,000 a month.

00:25:27My mother's surgery costs, whoa, no longer a worry.

00:25:32The following days passed quickly.

00:25:34Good morning.

00:25:35Good morning, Noah.

00:25:36Noah's transformation was visible to the naked eye.

00:25:39He started greeting the kitchen staff voluntarily.

00:25:41Of course.

00:25:42He started being willing to spend time in the first floor drawing room.

00:25:45He even sat quietly in the corner of the study drawing, while Lucian was on conference calls.

00:25:50Dr. Lin sent the latest evaluation report.

00:25:53Noah's social ability indicators have improved by 40%.

00:25:57His verbal expression frequency is three times what it was three months ago.

00:26:01Miss Wynn, you've done an exceptional job.

00:26:04I looked at the report and exhaled.

00:26:06At least on this huo, on Noah huo, I delivered.

00:26:10Day 10.

00:26:11Trouble came.

00:26:11I was walking with Noah in the estate gardens when my phone buzzed with a message.

00:26:16From Celeste.

00:26:16A photo of a wedding invitation.

00:26:18It read,

00:26:20Mr. Zachary Thornton and Miss Celeste Wynn request the honor of your presence at their wedding.

00:26:25Followed by a message.

00:26:27Little sister, the invitations are already printed.

00:26:30Your name is on one.

00:26:32The maid of honor spot is still yours.

00:26:34I didn't reply.

00:26:3510 minutes later, another one.

00:26:37Oh, by the way, I heard you're working as a nanny?

00:26:40A Northport University Master's graduate working as a nanny.

00:26:44You really are bringing honor to the Wynn family name.

00:26:47Still no reply.

00:26:47Are you too ashamed to respond?

00:26:49Whatever.

00:26:50I feel sorry for you.

00:26:51Come to the wedding, huo.

00:26:52I put my phone in my pocket.

00:26:54Nanny Sarah, there are flowers over there.

00:26:56Want to go see?

00:26:57He nodded.

00:26:58I led him over.

00:26:59He crouched in front of the rose bushes, reached out as if to pick one, then pulled back.

00:27:04He said,

00:27:05Little prick.

00:27:07Yeah.

00:27:09Beautiful things sometimes sting.

00:27:11He thought about it.

00:27:13Then just look.

00:27:14Don't pick.

00:27:16I smiled.

00:27:17You're smarter than most adults.

00:27:20At that moment, the butler hurried over, his expression tense.

00:27:25Miss Wynn, there's someone at the estate gate asking for you.

00:27:28Who?

00:27:29A woman.

00:27:30Says she's your sister.

00:27:32My smile vanished.

00:27:34Celeste had tracked me here.

00:27:35I said to the butler,

00:27:37I'll go out.

00:27:37Watch Noah for me.

00:27:39The butler nodded.

00:27:40I walked to the main gate of the estate.

00:27:42Celeste was leaning against that white Porsche, dressed in a designer dress and sunglasses,

00:27:46which she removed the moment she spotted me.

00:27:49Little sister!

00:27:50I finally found you!

00:27:52How did you find this place?

00:27:54Dad told me.

00:27:55He said you're working as a nanny at Lakeview Manor.

00:27:59Stephen Wind.

00:28:00I should have only told my mother the address.

00:28:03What do you want?

00:28:04To see you, of course.

00:28:06This place is pretty impressive.

00:28:09Who's your employer?

00:28:10Someone with deep pockets.

00:28:12None of your business.

00:28:15Don't be like that.

00:28:17Sis, I genuinely want you as my maid of honor.

00:28:20Think about it.

00:28:21You show up, and the wedding's packed with Northport's elite.

00:28:25Could even find you a decent man.

00:28:27Way better than slaving away as a nanny, right?

00:28:30Celeste, what do you actually want?

00:28:33I just want you to come-

00:28:34Not happening.

00:28:35You can leave now.

00:28:36Her smile thinned.

00:28:37Serena, don't make this harder than it needs to be.

00:28:40Dad already told you, if you don't come, your mother's surgery-

00:28:44I've covered my mother's surgery myself.

00:28:47What exactly are you threatening me with?

00:28:50Where did you get the money?

00:28:51My salary.

00:28:53How much can a nanny possibly make?

00:28:55More than the man you stole gives you.

00:28:57Serena!

00:28:58What's that supposed to mean?

00:28:59You know exactly what it means.

00:29:01My wedding home, my wedding dress, my fiancé.

00:29:04When you took them one by one,

00:29:05did you ever stop to ask what it meant?

00:29:08Zach chose me!

00:29:10Then why are you here bothering me?

00:29:12Guilty conscience?

00:29:13Celeste's chest heaved.

00:29:15Serena, don't get too proud!

00:29:17You think working as a nanny makes you something?

00:29:19You're just a servant!

00:29:21Better a servant than a thief.

00:29:26A voice came from inside the gate.

00:29:28Miss Wynne, may I ask who you are?

00:29:32This is the Carrington private residence.

00:29:34Trespassers are not permitted.

00:29:35I'm Serena's sister.

00:29:37The Carrington house only recognizes Miss Serena Wynne.

00:29:40If you do not have an appointment, please leave.

00:29:42He pressed his earpiece.

00:29:43Security, we have a disturbance at the main gate.

00:29:46Serena!

00:29:47You're having a servant's butler throw me out?

00:29:50Celeste's face went completely green.

00:29:52I turned and walked back into the estate without looking back.

00:29:55Serena!

00:29:56Mark my words!

00:29:57If you don't show up at the wedding,

00:29:59I'll make sure everyone in Northport knows you're nothing but a pathetic cast-off!

00:30:03The butler closed the main gate.

00:30:05Her voice was cut off outside.

00:30:07Miss Wynne, should I inform Mr. Carrington if this person returns?

00:30:10I said.

00:30:11No need to trouble Mr. Carrington.

00:30:13She can't make any real waves.

00:30:15The butler nodded.

00:30:16What I didn't know was that the estate's surveillance system was networked.

00:30:20Lucian Carrington, in his office at the company, had already watched the entire thing.

00:30:25When he came home that night, he said nothing.

00:30:28He simply handed me a warm glass of milk after I finished Noah's bedtime story.

00:30:32Drink this and get some rest.

00:30:33Then he went upstairs.

00:30:35I stood in the hallway holding the milk.

00:30:37This man was different.

00:30:38So cold.

00:30:38But cold in a way that felt warm.

00:30:40What a contradiction.

00:30:42Two more days passed.

00:30:44Zach called.

00:30:45Serena, are you working as a nanny at Lakeview Manor for Lucian Carrington?

00:30:48How do you know that?

00:30:49Celeste looked it up.

00:30:50Lucius Carrington, CEO of Carrington Group.

00:30:52Serena, you've got some nerve.

00:30:54Working as a nanny for the richest man in Northport.

00:30:57What business is it of yours?

00:30:59It is my business.

00:31:01Serena, I warn you.

00:31:02A man like Lucian Carrington is not someone you can climb up to.

00:31:05Just do your job and don't get any ideas.

00:31:09What ideas?

00:31:10Don't play dumb.

00:31:1150,000 a month?

00:31:12What do you think he's paying you for?

00:31:13I laughed.

00:31:14Zach, are you jealous or just pathetic?

00:31:16When you broke up with me, you made it very clear we were done.

00:31:19Now you're meddling in where I work and who I work for?

00:31:22I'm trying to warn you.

00:31:23Save your concern for your bride.

00:31:25I don't need it.

00:31:27I hung up.

00:31:31Five minutes later, Celeste called.

00:31:36Serena, stay away from Lucian Carrington.

00:31:38You have no say in this.

00:31:39Lucian Carrington is Northport's most eligible bachelor.

00:31:42A nanny like you don't even dream...

00:31:44Worried your husband doesn't measure up to my employer?

00:31:47Three seconds of dead silence.

00:31:48Serena, just wait.

00:31:49You'll get what's coming to you.

00:31:51She hung up.

00:31:52I blocked her number, but that wasn't the end of it.

00:31:55Day 13.

00:31:56I took Noah to the mall to buy colored pencils.

00:31:58The butler drove us to the largest mall in Northport.

00:32:01Noah held my hand and spent ages in the art supply section before finally selecting a 48 color pencil set.

00:32:06Serena, look at these!

00:32:07As we were checking out, a voice came from behind.

00:32:09Well, well.

00:32:11Isn't that Serena when?

00:32:12I turned.

00:32:13Victoria Crane.

00:32:14Celeste's best friend.

00:32:16Serena!

00:32:17Long time no see.

00:32:18Who's kid is this?

00:32:21None of your concern.

00:32:23Wow.

00:32:24Still got that attitude.

00:32:26Victoria smiled.

00:32:27Celeste told me you're working as a nanny now.

00:32:30A Northfield University grad.

00:32:34Babysitting.

00:32:35A few glances turned our way.

00:32:38Is there a problem?

00:32:39Not at all.

00:32:40Just seems like such a waste.

00:32:42You used to be the acclaimed prodigy of our circle.

00:32:44Now look at you.

00:32:46Better than ending up as someone who steals other people's fiancés.

00:32:51Victoria's smile froze.

00:32:53What's that supposed to mean?

00:32:55Nothing.

00:32:56I took Noah's hand and started to leave.

00:32:58Stop right there!

00:32:59Serena, you think you're still the old Serena?

00:33:01You're just a nanny now!

00:33:02What gives you the right to act superior in front of me?

00:33:04Victoria's voice rose.

00:33:06I looked back at Victoria.

00:33:07Noah looked up at me and tightened his grip on my hand.

00:33:09What's wrong with being a nanny?

00:33:11A nanny is a servant!

00:33:13I earn my own living and support my family.

00:33:15That makes me a servant.

00:33:16So what do you call women who rely on men's money for handbags?

00:33:20Every single one of their faces changed color.

00:33:23You!

00:33:26Miss Wynn.

00:33:27A voice came from the side.

00:33:29A man in a black suit was striding toward us.

00:33:31Around 30, sharp and efficient.

00:33:33I recognized him.

00:33:34Lucian Carrington's personal assistant.

00:33:37Aiden?

00:33:37Mr. Carrington sent me to pick up you and the young master.

00:33:40He glanced at Victoria and her group.

00:33:41Is there a problem?

00:33:42Victoria saw the ID badge on Aiden's wrist.

00:33:45Hua.

00:33:47Carrington group.

00:33:48Her face shifted.

00:33:49Carrington, you work for Carrington group?

00:33:52Carrington?

00:33:53Miss Wynn.

00:33:54The car is downstairs.

00:33:55This way, please.

00:33:56I nodded and led Noah away with him.

00:33:58Behind us came Victoria's lowered voice.

00:34:01She's working as a nanny for the Carringtons?

00:34:04Carrington the Carringtons?

00:34:05It can't be.

00:34:06Lucian Carrington, can it?

00:34:08No way.

00:34:09A man like Lucian Carrington wouldn't relax his own nanny.

00:34:12In the car, Aiden said.

00:34:14Miss Wynn.

00:34:15Mr. Carrington asked me to tell you if anyone gives you trouble, you can contact me directly.

00:34:19He handed me a business card.

00:34:20Thank you.

00:34:22Mr. Carrington's orders.

00:34:23He added.

00:34:25I stared out the window.

00:34:26How did Lucian know I was being harassed at the mall?

00:34:29Whenever an estate vehicle goes out, Mr. Carrington has me remotely track the route.

00:34:33Security measure.

00:34:35Security measure.

00:34:37Aiden seemed to read my thoughts.

00:34:41Right.

00:34:44Back at the estate, Noah bolted upstairs with his new colored pencils.

00:34:48I stood on the first floor about to head up myself, when my phone buzzed with a text.

00:34:53Unknown number.

00:34:55Serena.

00:34:56Celeste asked me to tell you.

00:34:58At the wedding, she's going to publicly announce that you were fired.

00:35:01She's already contacted your old clinic colleagues.

00:35:04Everyone in Northport will know you were kicked out by your advisor and dumped by your fiancé.

00:35:08If you don't want the humiliation, show up and be the maid of honor.

00:35:12Zach.

00:35:13I read it, and calmly deleted it.

00:35:16Not because I wasn't angry.

00:35:17Because wasting emotion on people like that wasn't worth it.

00:35:21But I knew this wasn't going to end easily.

00:35:23Celeste wasn't the type to let things go.

00:35:26She'd been this way since we were kids.

00:35:28If I had something good, she had to take it.

00:35:30If she couldn't take it, she'd destroy it.

00:35:32That night, I stood on the second floor balcony, looking out at the lake.

00:35:36Moonlight painted silver ripples across the dark water.

00:35:39Somewhere in the distance, an owl called twice and fell silent.

00:35:43It was peaceful here.

00:35:44Almost too peaceful.

00:35:46I thought about the past two weeks.

00:35:48About a boy who wouldn't speak.

00:35:50Who now said my name like it was the most natural word in the world.

00:35:53About a man carved from ice who left pieces of candy in empty glasses.

00:35:57About three paper rabbits on a windowsill.

00:35:59One with a crooked ear.

00:36:01One with a carefully folded tail.

00:36:03One impossibly small.

00:36:04That somehow carried more meaning than all the wedding invitations gathering dust in some landfill.

00:36:10Fourteen days ago, I'd been crouched in a hospital hallway with $300 to my name.

00:36:14And the world had felt like a closing fist.

00:36:17Now I was standing on a balcony overlooking a lake.

00:36:19And for the first time in months, I could breathe.

00:36:21A creak came from behind me.

00:36:23I turned.

00:36:24Noah stood in his doorway, pajama clad.

00:36:27The gray rabbit pressed against his chest.

00:36:29Can't sleep?

00:36:31He shook his head.

00:36:32I slid down to sit on the balcony floor.

00:36:34After a moment, Noah patted over and sat beside me.

00:36:37Close enough that his shoulder touched my arm.

00:36:40Bad dream?

00:36:41He nodded.

00:36:42Want to tell me about it?

00:36:44Silence stretched.

00:36:45The owl called again somewhere in the dark.

00:36:48She was in it.

00:36:49My arm tightened around him.

00:36:51He meant Lydia.

00:36:53What happened in the dream?

00:36:55She came back.

00:36:56She picked me up and took me away.

00:37:00And you weren't there.

00:37:01And Daddy wasn't there.

00:37:04And I was...

00:37:06Alone.

00:37:07I shifted so I could face him directly.

00:37:09His sapphire eyes were completely unguarded now.

00:37:13Terrified.

00:37:15Noah.

00:37:16I took both his hands in mine.

00:37:18That was just a dream.

00:37:20You are not alone.

00:37:22You will never be alone again.

00:37:24Nami Sarah is here.

00:37:26Daddy is here.

00:37:27The butler is here.

00:37:29Everyone in this house is here.

00:37:31Do you understand me?

00:37:33He stared at me for one heartbeat.

00:37:35Two.

00:37:36Then he nodded and crawled into my lap.

00:37:38Pressing his face against my shoulder.

00:37:40We sat like that until his breathing slowed.

00:37:42Until his body went heavy with sleep.

00:37:45I carried him back to bed.

00:37:47Tucked the rabbit under his arm.

00:37:48Pushed the hair from his forehead.

00:37:50He stirred.

00:37:52Murmuring something unintelligible.

00:37:53And his fingers found the edge of my sleeve and held on.

00:37:56I waited until his grip relaxed.

00:37:58Then I slipped out.

00:38:00And closed the door with barely a sound.

00:38:02When I turned around.

00:38:03Lucian was standing at the end of the hallway.

00:38:05He must have come down from the third floor at some point.

00:38:08I had no idea how long he'd been there.

00:38:11His expression was unreadable.

00:38:13But there was something about the way he stood.

00:38:15Completely motionless.

00:38:16Neither of us spoke.

00:38:17Then he pushed off the wall and walked toward me.

00:38:21He had a nightmare.

00:38:23I heard.

00:38:24He dreamed about her.

00:38:26About Lydia.

00:38:27A muscle in his jaw pulsed.

00:38:29I thought her visitation rights were revoked.

00:38:32They were.

00:38:33But she's filed a new motion.

00:38:35Her lawyer is claiming she's been through rehabilitation.

00:38:38Counseling.

00:38:39The works.

00:38:40When did you find out?

00:38:42This morning.

00:38:43That explained his earlier tension.

00:38:45The third glass of wine he'd poured and barely touched.

00:38:48Is she going to get them back?

00:38:50He was quiet for a moment.

00:38:52No.

00:38:53One syllable.

00:38:54Absolute.

00:38:55But there was something else underneath it.

00:38:57A tension I couldn't quite name.

00:39:00Lucian.

00:39:01If she comes here again.

00:39:04Noah can't see her.

00:39:05He can't.

00:39:07You didn't see him tonight.

00:39:09He was shaking so hard he could barely speak.

00:39:12I know.

00:39:15Then why does she still have the power to do this?

00:39:19Why can she keep filing motions?

00:39:22Sending lawyers and...

00:39:24Because she's his mother.

00:39:27Because the courts believe in second chances.

00:39:30Because every time I block her...

00:39:34She finds another angle.

00:39:36Because...

00:39:37He stopped.

00:39:38His fist was clenched at his side.

00:39:40White knuckled.

00:39:41I'd never seen him lose control before.

00:39:43Not once.

00:39:44Not when his ex-wife screamed at him in his own foyer.

00:39:46Not when reporters camped at his gate.

00:39:49But right now, standing in this dark hallway.

00:39:51The man who could buy and sell entire city blocks without blinking.

00:39:55Looks like he was holding back a flood with his bare hands.

00:39:58Because I can't protect him from everything.

00:40:02No matter how much I want to.

00:40:04He looked at Noah's closed door.

00:40:06When she left him at that mall...

00:40:10Six months.

00:40:11She put him in a stroller and walked away and didn't come back.

00:40:15Didn't come back for three hours.

00:40:18Security found him crying.

00:40:20Dehydrated.

00:40:21Alone in the middle of the food plocket.

00:40:24I was in a board meeting when they called.

00:40:29I made it there in 12 minutes.

00:40:32Fastest I've ever driven in my life.

00:40:35But it was already too late.

00:40:36Something broke in him that day.

00:40:39He stopped trying to speak.

00:40:42Stopped reaching for people.

00:40:43Stopped crying when he was hurt.

00:41:13So you built walls around him.

00:41:15You didn't perform for him.

00:41:17You just stayed.

00:41:18Stayed.

00:41:20Anyone could have done that.

00:41:22No.

00:41:23Eight people tried.

00:41:26You're the only one who succeeded.

00:41:28Serena.

00:41:32Serena.

00:41:33Serena.

00:41:46I thought about my mother in her hospital bed.

00:41:48Thinner every time I visited.

00:41:50I thought about Celeste's designer dress and Zach's Porsche and the wedding invitation with my name printed on it.

00:42:26It felt like he'd spent his entire adult life categorizing the world into threats and assets and liabilities and I

00:42:31refused to fit into any of his columns.

00:42:34I turned and walked toward my room.

00:42:36I turned and walked toward my room.

00:42:37Serena.

00:42:37I stopped.

00:42:39The storm that's coming.

00:42:42It's not just Lydia.

00:42:44And it's not just your family.

00:42:46There are things you don't know yet.

00:42:49Things about my past.

00:42:51About this house.

00:42:53About why Noah is the way he is.

00:42:56I turned back to face him.

00:42:59Then tell me.

00:43:01Not tonight.

00:43:02His voice was barely audible

00:43:05But soon, I promise

00:43:08He turned and walked toward the staircase that led to the third floor

00:43:11The floor no one was allowed to enter

00:43:14Thank you, for tonight, for Noah

00:43:18Before I could answer he was gone

00:43:20His footsteps faded up the stairs

00:43:22And somewhere out in the darkness beyond the lake

00:43:25Beyond the estate gates

00:43:26Beyond the tree-lined drive

00:43:28Lydia with her lawyers

00:43:29Celeste with her wedding

00:43:30Zach with his wounded pride

00:43:33Steven with his gambling debts and his guilty conscience

00:43:36They were all coming

00:43:36I could feel it in the air

00:43:38That electric stillness before a storm breaks

00:43:41But I looked at the door where Noah slept

00:43:43And I remembered the weight of his small body against my shoulder

00:43:46I remembered two crooked words on a piece of paper

00:43:49I remembered three paper rabbits on a windowsill

00:43:52And I wasn't afraid anymore

00:43:54Whatever was coming, let it come

00:43:57I was exactly where I was supposed to be

00:44:00Day 14, afternoon

00:44:02An uninvited guest appeared at the estate

00:44:04Not Celeste, Lydia Carrington

00:44:06She blew right past security

00:44:08Striding across the marble floor in red-bottomed heels

00:44:11Her voice sliced through the entire first floor

00:44:15I was upstairs with Noah, building blocks

00:44:18Noah's hand jerked

00:44:19The block tower collapsed

00:44:21His face went sheet white

00:44:22I crouched down, blocking his view

00:44:25Noah, don't be scared

00:44:27Look at me

00:44:28His lips were trembling

00:44:30She's going to take me away

00:44:32No one is taking you anywhere

00:44:34She will

00:44:35She said she'd take me before

00:44:38And then she left me on the side of the road

00:44:40My heart felt like it had been squeezed in someone's fist

00:44:43Noah, listen to me

00:44:45You are safe here

00:44:46I'm here

00:44:49Daddy's here

00:44:50No one can take you away

00:44:52He looked at me

00:44:53Those sapphire eyes were full of pure terror

00:44:55Then he threw himself forward

00:44:57And wrapped his arms around my neck

00:44:59It was the first time he had ever voluntarily hugged anyone

00:45:02His little body was shaking

00:45:04I held him

00:45:05One hand gently patting his back

00:45:07The shouting downstairs grew louder

00:45:09Lucien, I want to see no one

00:45:11The court granted me visitation rights

00:45:14Your visitation rights were revoked

00:45:16Lydia, don't push me

00:45:17You revoked them?

00:45:18What rights do you have?

00:45:19You left a six-month-old baby alone in a shopping mall for three hours

00:45:22You think you deserve visitation rights?

00:45:24That was an accident

00:45:25I had something to do that day

00:45:26Something to do?

00:45:27Like what?

00:45:28Vacationing overseas with your lover?

00:45:30Silence downstairs

00:45:31Then the sound of something smashing

00:45:34Lucien!

00:45:35Don't think money makes you above everyone else

00:45:38I'll sue you!

00:45:39I'll be waiting

00:45:40The click of high heels retreated rapidly

00:45:43The front door slammed

00:45:44Noah's body was still trembling

00:45:46She's gone

00:45:47She's gone now

00:45:48I held him and said softly

00:45:50He slowly loosened his grip

00:45:52But still clutched my sleeve

00:45:55Nanny Sarah

00:45:57Will you leave too?

00:45:59I told you I'm not leaving

00:46:01That's what they all say

00:46:02Those other nannies said they wouldn't leave either

00:46:05Then they disappeared

00:46:06I took his hand and placed it in front of me

00:46:10Noah

00:46:11Look at me

00:46:12He raised his head

00:46:13I, Serena Wynn

00:46:15Keep my word

00:46:16I'm not leaving

00:46:17He stared at me for a long time

00:46:19Then let out a tiny

00:46:21That night

00:46:22Lucien came up to the second floor

00:46:24Noah was already asleep

00:46:25He stood at Noah's door for a long time

00:46:28Watching

00:46:28Then he walked over to me

00:46:30What happened today?

00:46:32Thank you

00:46:33It's my job

00:46:34No

00:46:35He said

00:46:36What you do goes far beyond a job

00:46:38And in those normally warmthless eyes

00:46:40There was something else

00:46:41Serena

00:46:44I looked into you

00:46:45My heart skipped

00:46:46You're Professor Cedric Stanton's final protege

00:46:49National Pediatric Pythology Competition Winner

00:46:52That paper you published on early intervention for childhood autism

00:46:55It's been cited over 300 times

00:46:58After what happened to your advisor, your internship was cancelled

00:47:01Your scholarship was clawed back

00:47:03You barely got your diploma

00:47:05Your father didn't help you

00:47:07Your fiancé

00:47:09He chose your stepsister at the worst moment of your life

00:47:13You dug deep

00:47:15You shouldn't be working as a nanny

00:47:17But here I am

00:47:18He looked at me for a few seconds

00:47:20I'm not trying to fire you

00:47:22I know

00:47:23What I mean is

00:47:24You deserve better

00:47:25I smiled faintly

00:47:27Mr. Carrington, right now nothing matters more to me than earning money for my mother's treatment

00:47:33This job is the best option I have

00:47:36He didn't say anything else

00:47:38But before he turned away

00:47:39He said one thing

00:47:41If someday you don't want to be a nanny anymore

00:47:43Come find me

00:47:44He went up to the third floor

00:47:46I stood in the hallway

00:47:48My heart beat slightly unsteady

00:47:52Serena

00:47:53Get a crib

00:47:54He's your employer

00:47:55You're his son's nanny

00:47:57Don't make this complicated

00:47:58Day 15

00:47:59Celeste's wedding invitations officially went out

00:48:02Her social media exploded

00:48:04Caption

00:48:05Thank you all for the well wishes

00:48:07The 15th of next month

00:48:09Come witness our happiness

00:48:10Likes and comments flooded in

00:48:12Celeste, you're gorgeous

00:48:14Zach is so handsome

00:48:16Perfect couple

00:48:17So jealous

00:48:19I scrolled through and found one comment

00:48:21Isn't your sister coming?

00:48:23Celeste replied

00:48:24My sister's busy out there

00:48:26She's working as a nanny now

00:48:28Can't get away

00:48:29Followed by a string of laughing emojis

00:48:31The comment section erupted

00:48:33The comment section erupted

00:48:33Serena's a nanny now?

00:48:34Wasn't she a Northport grad?

00:48:36I heard she got dumped by her boyfriend

00:48:38Doesn't even have a place to live

00:48:40Brutal?

00:48:41Guess it's just fate

00:48:42Same father

00:48:43Such a different life

00:48:44I looked at these comments

00:48:46My fingers tightening slightly

00:48:48Celeste

00:48:48You really won't let me live in peace

00:48:52The butler approached

00:48:53Miss Wynne

00:48:54There are people at the gate

00:48:55They say they're reporters

00:48:56They want to interview

00:48:57Celeste Wynne's sister

00:49:00What?

00:49:01They said someone tipped them off

00:49:03Northport University graduate

00:49:04Working as a nanny

00:49:05They want to do a feature story

00:49:08Celeste

00:49:08Send them away

00:49:10They're already being removed

00:49:11But they photographed the estate gate

00:49:13They'll identify this as Carrington property soon

00:49:15If this got reported

00:49:17This wasn't just about my reputation

00:49:19It implicated Lucian too

00:49:21I grabbed my phone

00:49:22Hesitated for three seconds

00:49:24And called Aiden

00:49:26Aiden, I need help

00:49:27Fifteen minutes later

00:49:28Every reporter at the gate

00:49:30Had been dispersed

00:49:30Aiden's efficiency was staggering

00:49:33But he called me back

00:49:34Miss Wynne

00:49:35Mr. Carrington has been informed

00:49:36What did he say?

00:49:38He told me to look into this

00:49:40Celeste Wynne

00:49:41That's not necessary

00:49:42Mr. Carrington's orders

00:49:44He says no one gets to use his staff

00:49:46For publicity stunts

00:49:48I held the phone

00:49:49Not knowing what to say

00:49:50Staff

00:49:50He said staff

00:49:52But what he did

00:49:53That wasn't how you treated staff

00:49:55That evening

00:49:55Lucian came home

00:49:56Even earlier than usual

00:49:585.30

00:49:59He walked into the hall

00:50:00While I was warming Noah's milk

00:50:03Serena

00:50:04My study

00:50:05Now

00:50:07I followed him into the first floor study

00:50:09The door closed

00:50:10He sat behind his desk

00:50:12Indicating the chair

00:50:13Across from him

00:50:15Celeste

00:50:16Aiden told you

00:50:17Yes

00:50:18Mr. Carrington

00:50:20This is my personal matter

00:50:21It shouldn't involve you

00:50:22It already does

00:50:24Reporters photograph

00:50:25The Lakeview Manor gate

00:50:26If this gets published

00:50:27It affects Noah too

00:50:29He was completely calm

00:50:30So I'll handle it

00:50:32How?

00:50:34You don't need to worry about that

00:50:36But

00:50:38Serena

00:50:38He looked at me

00:50:40His gaze heavy

00:50:41Some things

00:50:43You can't carry alone

00:50:44I froze

00:50:45Your mother's illness

00:50:47Your father's indifference

00:50:50Celeste's scheming

00:50:52Zach's betrayal

00:50:56How much longer

00:50:57Do you think

00:50:58You can carry

00:50:58All of it

00:50:59By yourself

00:50:59I opened my mouth

00:51:01Nothing came out

00:51:02I'm not pitying you

00:51:04I'm stating a fact

00:51:05Right now

00:51:06You are part of

00:51:07The Carrington household

00:51:08When something happens

00:51:09To someone in this household

00:51:10I handle it

00:51:11The Carrington household

00:51:12Those words suddenly

00:51:13Felt very heavy

00:51:14Alright

00:51:15I said

00:51:16He nodded

00:51:18One more thing

00:51:19He pulled a document

00:51:21From his drawer

00:51:22And slid it across the desk

00:51:23What's this?

00:51:26Professor Stanton's case

00:51:27I had someone reinvestigated

00:51:29My heart lurched

00:51:31I opened the file

00:51:32It detailed the full timeline

00:51:34Of Professor Stanton's accusation

00:51:36Accuser

00:51:37Anonymous

00:51:38Accusation

00:51:39Academic fraud

00:51:40Investigation

00:51:41Result

00:51:42Insufficient evidence

00:51:43Yet Professor Stanton

00:51:45Resigned voluntarily

00:51:46Insufficient evidence?

00:51:48I stared at the file

00:51:49I see university said

00:51:50It was confirmed

00:51:50If it had been confirmed

00:51:51The finding wouldn't be

00:51:52Insufficient evidence

00:51:53Someone manipulated the process

00:51:56Who?

00:51:57Lucian looked at me

00:51:58Are you sure you want to know?

00:52:00Tell me

00:52:01Your father

00:52:02Stephen Wynn

00:52:03My mind went blank

00:52:05What?

00:52:06Stephen Wynn

00:52:07Had gambling debts

00:52:08Three years ago

00:52:08The debt collector

00:52:09Was someone inside

00:52:10The Northport medical system

00:52:11A man with a personal grudge

00:52:13Against Professor Stanton

00:52:14To pay off his debts

00:52:16Your father fabricated evidence

00:52:18And filed the complaint

00:52:19Against Stanton

00:52:20I sat frozen in my chair

00:52:21Professor Stanton's project

00:52:23Was suspended

00:52:24My internship was cancelled

00:52:25My scholarship

00:52:26Was clawed back

00:52:27My entire life

00:52:28Collapsed overnight

00:52:29And the reason was

00:52:30My father

00:52:31Stephen Wynn

00:52:32Took fifty thousand dollars

00:52:33As payment

00:52:34Paid off his gambling debts

00:52:36With it

00:52:36The rest

00:52:39Bought Salels that Porsche

00:52:41Lucian's voice was steady

00:52:42But every word

00:52:43Cut like a knife

00:52:44I sat there

00:52:45Motionless

00:52:46From start to finish

00:52:48The person who destroyed me

00:52:49Wasn't someone else

00:52:50It was my own father

00:52:52Are you okay?

00:52:53Lucian asked

00:52:54I looked up at him

00:52:56How solid is this evidence?

00:52:58Rock solid

00:52:58If you want to use it

00:53:00I can

00:53:00Not yet

00:53:00What are you going to do?

00:53:02I haven't decided

00:53:04But one thing

00:53:05I had decided

00:53:07Steve Lynn Wynn

00:53:10Celeste Wynn

00:53:11Zach Thornton

00:53:13None of you are getting away

00:53:14Mr. Carrington

00:53:18Why are you helping me?

00:53:21Because no one needs you

00:53:23His tone was too natural

00:53:24Natural enough

00:53:25That I almost believed it

00:53:27I didn't sleep that night

00:53:28Professor Stanton's case

00:53:30Churned through my mind

00:53:31Over and over

00:53:32$50,000

00:53:34Stephen Wynn

00:53:35Sold my future

00:53:36For $50,000

00:53:37Go get him Sarah

00:53:39Dad believes in you

00:53:41The man who once

00:53:42Patted my shoulder

00:53:43Before my college

00:53:44Entrance exams

00:53:44And said

00:53:45I leaned against the headboard

00:53:47And read every word

00:53:48Of that file

00:53:48Three times

00:53:49The evidence chain

00:53:50Was airtight

00:53:51Stephen's bank records

00:53:52The gambling

00:53:54I owe us

00:53:55Call logs

00:53:55With the debt collector

00:53:57Handwriting analysis

00:53:58On the complaint letter

00:53:59Lucian's people

00:54:00Had been terrifyingly thorough

00:54:02How much power

00:54:03Did this man have

00:54:04And why would he go

00:54:05To such lengths

00:54:06For a nanny

00:54:07Because Noah needs you

00:54:09That's what he said

00:54:10But something told me

00:54:12It wasn't just that

00:54:13The next morning

00:54:14I was helping Noah

00:54:15Into his jacket

00:54:16For a walk

00:54:16The butler came over

00:54:18Miss Wynn

00:54:19Mr. Carrington

00:54:21Asked me to tell you

00:54:22Someone is coming

00:54:23To the estate

00:54:24At three this afternoon

00:54:25He wants you present

00:54:26Who?

00:54:27Professor Cedric Stanton

00:54:30Professor Stanton?

00:54:33Hadn't he resigned

00:54:34And left Northport?

00:54:36Mr. Carrington said

00:54:37It took some time

00:54:37To track down

00:54:38Professor Stanton

00:54:39He's been running

00:54:39A small clinic

00:54:40In a southern town

00:54:41He travelled overnight

00:54:42To get here

00:54:45Nami Sarah

00:54:47What's wrong?

00:54:48Nothing

00:54:50I stood and took

00:54:51A deep breath

00:54:53Let's go for that walk

00:54:54Okay

00:54:55Three o'clock

00:54:56I stood outside

00:54:58The first floor

00:54:59Drawing room door

00:55:00Palms slick with sweat

00:55:01The door opened

00:55:02Professor Cedric Stanton

00:55:04Sat on the sofa

00:55:05He'd aged so much

00:55:06His hair gone

00:55:07Completely white

00:55:08But his eyes

00:55:08Were still bright

00:55:09The moment he saw me

00:55:11He stood

00:55:11Sarah

00:55:13Professor

00:55:15You've lost weight

00:55:17But your spirit's

00:55:18Still there

00:55:19My nose stung

00:55:21I fought it back

00:55:22Lucian sat on

00:55:23The opposite sofa

00:55:24Saying nothing

00:55:25Professor Stanton

00:55:26Sat down and sighed

00:55:27Mr. Carrington

00:55:28Showed me the evidence

00:55:29Yesterday

00:55:29I always suspected

00:55:30The complaint was fabricated

00:55:32But I never imagined

00:55:33It was your father

00:55:34Professor

00:55:35I'm so sorry

00:55:37What does this

00:55:38Have to do with you?

00:55:39You were the best

00:55:40Student I ever had

00:55:41When it happened

00:55:42You were the one

00:55:43Who suffered most

00:55:44Your paper

00:55:45Your project

00:55:47Your future

00:55:48Professor

00:55:49If this evidence

00:55:50Comes out

00:55:51Your reputation

00:55:51Can be restored

00:55:56I've already had

00:55:57The legal team prepare

00:55:58Whenever Professor

00:56:00Stantney is ready

00:56:00We can proceed

00:56:02Steven Wynn

00:56:03Is your father

00:56:04Have you thought

00:56:05This through?

00:56:06He sold my future

00:56:08Destroyed your reputation

00:56:09He doesn't deserve

00:56:10To be called my father

00:56:12Alright

00:56:14That evening

00:56:15Before Professor Stanton

00:56:17Left he spoke to me alone

00:56:19Sarah

00:56:20Mr. Carrington

00:56:23I've only known him a day

00:56:24But I can tell

00:56:25He's not the type

00:56:26Who helps people casually

00:56:29Professor

00:56:29The resources he sank

00:56:31Into uncovering all this

00:56:32It wasn't cheap

00:56:33He's either after something

00:56:35Or

00:56:35He cares about you

00:56:38Whatever it is

00:56:39Know your own worth

00:56:40You're a talented young woman

00:56:42Not anyone's accessory

00:56:44I know

00:56:46Professor Stanton

00:56:47Patted my head

00:56:49Go on

00:56:49You've got a long road ahead

00:56:51After seeing

00:56:53Professor Stanton off

00:56:54I stood at the estate gate

00:56:56Watching his car disappear

00:56:57Down the tree line drive

00:57:00Lucian

00:57:00Had appeared beside me

00:57:01At some point

00:57:03Your professor was right

00:57:07About what?

00:57:08You shouldn't be anyone's accessory

00:57:10But if you need someone

00:57:11In your corner

00:57:12I can be that

00:57:14I turned to look at him

00:57:16He wasn't looking at me

00:57:17Mr. Carrington

00:57:19Call me Lucian

00:57:22That doesn't seem appropriate

00:57:24Why not?

00:57:26I'm your nanny

00:57:27In those perpetually cold eyes

00:57:30There was something different now

00:57:33You're more than a nanny

00:57:36You always have been

00:57:38My heart was pounding

00:57:39But I still said the rational thing

00:57:41Mr. Carrington

00:57:42There shouldn't be

00:57:43I'm not confessing anything

00:57:44I'm stating my position

00:57:45You're someone I value

00:57:47Not just an employee

00:57:49What happens next

00:57:51Is up to you

00:57:52He walked away

00:57:53I stood there

00:57:54Blown by the wind

00:57:55For a long time

00:57:58Serena

00:57:58Get a grip

00:57:59Breathe

00:58:02And forget it

00:58:03Can't get a grip

00:58:04The next several days

00:58:06I threw myself into routine

00:58:08Spending time with Noah

00:58:09Looking after Noah

00:58:11Pouring all my focus

00:58:12Into Noah

00:58:13His progress was more

00:58:15And more obvious

00:58:16Day 20

00:58:1710 days until Celeste's wedding

00:58:19Her social media

00:58:20Had turned into

00:58:20A wedding countdown channel

00:58:22Daily countdown posts

00:58:24Captions getting sappier

00:58:25By the day

00:58:2610 days until I'm Mrs. Thornton

00:58:28My wedding dress

00:58:29Was custom made in Paris

00:58:31Only three in the world

00:58:32I'd scroll past

00:58:33And close it

00:58:34But that evening

00:58:35A call came in

00:58:36Steven Wynn

00:58:37Sarah?

00:58:38Talk

00:58:38Someone dug up

00:58:40My old gambling IOUs

00:58:41And what happened back then?

00:58:43Sarah

00:58:43Don't do anything reckless

00:58:45That's ancient history

00:58:46What's the point

00:58:47Of dragging it up now?

00:58:48Ancient history?

00:58:49Professor Stanton's reputation

00:58:52Was destroyed

00:58:53My future was destroyed

00:58:54And you call it

00:58:56Ancient history?

00:58:57I was desperate

00:58:59You were desperate

00:59:00So you sold

00:59:01Your daughter's life

00:59:04Steven, did you think

00:59:05If I never found out

00:59:06I'd never hold you accountable?

00:59:08Sarah

00:59:08Listen to me

00:59:09If this comes out

00:59:11Your father could go to prison

00:59:13You'd send your own father

00:59:15To prison?

00:59:15You destroyed my future

00:59:16Did that bother you?

00:59:18Silence on the other end

00:59:19Have you already talked to a lawyer?

00:59:21Guess

00:59:22Serena

00:59:23You ungrateful brat

00:59:24I raised you for over 20 years?

00:59:27When did you ever raise me?

00:59:29Every cent of my tuition

00:59:30From childhood

00:59:31Was earned by my mother's labor

00:59:32You?

00:59:34Your money all went to gambling

00:59:35And supporting Celeste's mother

00:59:37Steven, I'm giving you

00:59:38One last chance

00:59:42Before Celeste's wedding

00:59:43Go to the police

00:59:44Confess everything

00:59:45About what happened back then

00:59:46If you don't

00:59:47What happened to me?

00:59:48Are you insane?

00:59:50Celeste's wedding is next week

00:59:51You're pulling this now?

00:59:53Isn't that

00:59:54Perfect timing?

00:59:56I hung up

00:59:57My fingers trembled

00:59:58For a few seconds

00:59:59Then steadied

01:00:01Five minutes later

01:00:02Celeste's call came through

01:00:04Serena!

01:00:05What the hell do you think

01:00:06You're doing?

01:00:07So you know already?

01:00:08Your dad told you?

01:00:10You leave dad alone

01:00:11Don't you dare

01:00:13Celeste, who do you think

01:00:15When you were driving

01:00:16That Porsche bought

01:00:17With the money

01:00:18My father got

01:00:18For selling me out

01:00:19Bullshit!

01:00:21Zach bought that car!

01:00:22The down payment

01:00:23Came from my father

01:00:25To your mother

01:00:27And your mother

01:00:28To you

01:00:29You think I can't trace that?

01:00:30Serena

01:00:31What do you want?

01:00:32I don't want anything

01:00:34I just want justice

01:00:36Justice?

01:00:37A nanny like you?

01:00:38What gives you the right

01:00:40To talk about justice?

01:00:42Just wait

01:00:44I hung up

01:00:45This time

01:00:46I didn't delete the number

01:00:47Because the real show

01:00:49Was still to come

01:00:50Day 22

01:00:51Eight days

01:00:52Until Celeste's wedding

01:00:53A package arrived

01:00:55At the estate

01:00:56Miss Wynn

01:00:56A delivery for you

01:00:57I opened it

01:00:58It was a maid of honor dress

01:00:59Pink

01:01:00Cheap fabric

01:01:02Shoddy stitching

01:01:03A card inside

01:01:04Little sister

01:01:06Got your dress ready

01:01:07It was cheap

01:01:08But I figured a nanny

01:01:10Wouldn't mind

01:01:10Wear it next Saturday

01:01:12Celeste

01:01:13I held that dress

01:01:14For ten seconds

01:01:15Then threw it in the trash

01:01:18That evening

01:01:19Lucien came home

01:01:20He called me into the study

01:01:21Celeste's wedding

01:01:23Are you going?

01:01:24Yes

01:01:25Isn't she the bridesmaid?

01:01:26Then what is she doing as?

01:01:30The main event

01:01:31What do you want to do?

01:01:32The evidence

01:01:33Of Professor Stanton's framing

01:01:35The bank records

01:01:36Of Stephen taking the bribe

01:01:37The source of Celeste's

01:01:38Porsche down payment

01:01:40I want to expose all of it

01:01:41At the wedding

01:01:42You're sure?

01:01:44I'm sure

01:01:44What do you need?

01:01:46A proper outfit

01:01:49Aidan

01:01:50Arrange a full formal wardrobe

01:01:51For Miss Wynn

01:01:52Anything else?

01:01:54I might need a lawyer

01:01:55My entire legal team

01:01:56Is at your disposal

01:01:58And a driver?

01:01:59I'll take you myself

01:02:01You?

01:02:02Personally?

01:02:03Yes

01:02:03Why?

01:02:04Because if you walk in alone

01:02:05They'll think you came to beg

01:02:07But if you step out of my car

01:02:10They won't even have the nerve to speak

01:02:12I looked at him

01:02:14I looked at him

01:02:14This man

01:02:15Cold as an iceberg

01:02:16Yet every single thing he did

01:02:18Felt like paving a road beneath my feet

01:02:20Lupi and Carrington

01:02:22Hmm

01:02:23Thank you

01:02:23Don't

01:02:24Everything else can wait

01:02:25Let's finish this first

01:02:27Three days before the wedding

01:02:29Aidan delivered the outfit

01:02:30A black couture gown

01:02:32Sharp tailoring

01:02:33Fabric that clearly cost a fortune

01:02:36Matching heels

01:02:37A set of understated jewelry

01:02:39Mr. Carrington chose everything personally

01:02:41I tried it on

01:02:42The person in the mirror made me pause

01:02:44It had been a long time since I'd felt like this

01:02:47Like a person

01:02:48Not a nanny

01:02:49Not a discarded ex-fiance

01:02:51Not someone's accessory

01:02:53Just me

01:02:54Serena Wynn

01:02:55Noah sat nearby

01:02:56Looking up at me

01:02:57With his little face tilted

01:02:59Nami Sarah is so pretty

01:03:01Thank you

01:03:03Where are you going?

01:03:05To do something important

01:03:07What kind of thing?

01:03:09Chase away the bad guys

01:03:11Like the rabbit defeating the big bad wolf in the story?

01:03:14Something like that

01:03:14Then good luck

01:03:15I crouched down and hugged him

01:03:17Save me some dinner

01:03:19Okay

01:03:20Wedding day

01:03:21Three o'clock in the afternoon

01:03:23The Northport Grand Hotel

01:03:24Zach Thornton and Celeste Wynn's wedding

01:03:27Was booked at one of Northport's most expensive venues

01:03:30About 300 guests were in attendance

01:03:32Mostly from Northport's business and medical circles

01:03:35Celeste had gone all out to make this the most talked about wedding in the city

01:03:39She'd succeeded

01:03:40Just not in the way she'd imagined

01:03:42At 2.50pm

01:03:43A black Maybach pulled up at the hotel's main entrance

01:03:46Everyone saw it

01:03:48Because the Maybach was followed by two black Mercedes sedans

01:03:51The doors opened

01:03:52Lucian Carrington stepped out first

01:03:54He was dressed in a dark bespoke suit today

01:03:57Hair swept back

01:03:58The greeters at the hotel entrance froze

01:04:00Is that Lucian Carrington?

01:04:02Lucian Carrington of Carrington Group?

01:04:04What's he doing here?

01:04:05This is the Thornton wedding

01:04:06What's his connection to the Thorntons?

01:04:09Lucian walked to the other side of the car

01:04:11And opened the passenger door

01:04:12He extended his hand

01:04:13I took it

01:04:14And stepped out of the car

01:04:15Black couture gown

01:04:16Heels

01:04:17Hair swept up

01:04:18Standing beside Lucian Carrington

01:04:20The hotel entrance fell silent

01:04:22Then the buzz of whispers erupted like a swarm of bees

01:04:25Who is that woman?

01:04:27She came with Lucian Carrington?

01:04:28She's stunning!

01:04:30Wait

01:04:30Does she look familiar?

01:04:32Isn't that Serena Wynn?

01:04:34Serena?

01:04:35Celeste's sister?

01:04:37The one who became a nanny?

01:04:38I heard the voices

01:04:39I ignored them

01:04:41Lucian walked beside me

01:04:42His pace unhurried

01:04:44We entered the hotel lobby

01:04:45The person at the registration desk

01:04:47Mr. Mr. Carrington

01:04:49The ballroom was already filling up

01:04:52Everyone was whispering

01:04:53Celeste

01:04:54Wearing that

01:04:55One of only three in the world wedding dress

01:04:57Was standing near the stage

01:04:58Talking to her makeup artist

01:05:00She turned at the commotion at the entrance

01:05:02The moment she saw me

01:05:03Her expression shifted

01:05:05The moment she saw Lucian Carrington beside me

01:05:07Her expression collapsed entirely

01:05:09Serena!

01:05:11Congratulations, sister

01:05:12Zack walked over from the other side

01:05:15Dressed in his groom's tuxedo

01:05:17When he saw Lucian Carrington

01:05:19His stride visibly faltered

01:05:21Mr. Mr. Carrington?

01:05:23What brings you here?

01:05:25Your bride invited me

01:05:26Not welcome?

01:05:28Welcome! Of course you're welcome!

01:05:29Zack's demeanor instantly shifted to groveling deference

01:05:32Lucian Carrington was the richest man in Northport

01:05:35Why did you come with him?

01:05:37I told you

01:05:38I work at his house

01:05:39Work?

01:05:40Aren't you a nanny?

01:05:42A nanny is a job

01:05:43What, does your wedding not welcome working people?

01:05:46She wanted to lash out

01:05:47But with Lucian Carrington standing right there

01:05:50Of course you're welcome

01:05:52Sister

01:05:53Glad you made it

01:05:54When she turned and walked away

01:05:56I saw her hands were shaking

01:05:57The ceremony began at 3.30 sharp

01:06:00The officiant on stage recited the standard lines

01:06:03Steven Wynn walked Celeste down the aisle

01:06:05When he saw me, his whole body seized up

01:06:07Then he saw Lucian Carrington next to me

01:06:09His face went sheet white

01:06:11The aisle walk

01:06:12The ring exchange

01:06:13Everything proceeded as scripted

01:06:15Until the officiant said

01:06:16And now, a toast from a representative of the bride's family

01:06:21Thank you all for coming to Zack's in my wedding

01:06:23I'm especially happy today because my sister Serena is here

01:06:27She looked at me

01:06:28Some of you might not know, my sister recently started working as a nanny

01:06:33The job's not glamorous

01:06:35But I'm truly touched she could make it to her big sister's wedding

01:06:39Celeste's face radiated smug superiority

01:06:42She thought this was her stage

01:06:43She thought she'd won

01:06:45I stood up

01:06:46Since my sister was so enthusiastic in introducing me

01:06:49Let me say a few words too

01:06:50Serena, what are you doing?

01:06:52I took the microphone

01:06:53Good afternoon everyone

01:06:55I'm Serena Wynn

01:06:56The bride Celise Wynn's sister

01:06:58This certainly is an impressive wedding

01:07:00The bride's dress is Paris couture

01:07:03The planner is Northport's most expensive team

01:07:06The venue is Northport's finest

01:07:08But I have a question

01:07:10The Porsche the bride drives

01:07:11Where did the down payment come from?

01:07:13Anyone know?

01:07:14$30,000 down

01:07:16Paid by my father

01:07:17Stephen Wynn

01:07:18But where did Stephen Wynn get the money?

01:07:21He's always claimed to be broke

01:07:23Couldn't even contribute to my mother's medical

01:07:26The room began buzzing

01:07:27Serena, what nonsense are you spouting?

01:07:32I pulled out my phone and opened a document

01:07:34Three years ago

01:07:35Stephen Wynn had $50,000 in gambling debts

01:07:38The debt collector was a man named Felix Morden

01:07:42Connected to the Northport medical system

01:07:44Modern had a personal grudge

01:07:46Against Professor Cedric Stanton of Northport University

01:07:49He had Stephen fabricate evidence

01:07:51And file a false complaint

01:07:53Accusing Professor Stanton of academic fraud

01:07:56Stephen received $50,000

01:07:58$30,000 of it was funneled through his wife Fiona to Celesta

01:08:02That was the Porsche down payment

01:08:04Professor Stanton was forced to resign because of this false accusation

01:08:08His reputation was destroyed

01:08:10And I, as Professor Stanton's student

01:08:13Had my internship canceled and my scholarship revaked

01:08:17I looked at Stephen Wynn's ashen face in the audience

01:08:20My future was sold by my own father for $50,000

01:08:24And after selling it, he didn't spend a single sem on my mother's treatment

01:08:28You're lying!

01:08:29You're making this up!

01:08:31Here are the bank records

01:08:32I cast my phone screen to the ballroom projector

01:08:35Felix Mordenstein's transfer

01:08:37Fiona Wine's transfer

01:08:39Every transactioned, tan spawned, and stamped by the bank

01:08:43300 pairs of eyes fixed on those numbers

01:08:45It's impossible!

01:08:47I switched to the next page

01:08:49Handwriting analysis of the complaint letter

01:08:51The anonymous complaint against Professor Stanton was written by Stephen Wynn

01:08:55In his own hand

01:08:57Stephen Wynn's legs buckled

01:08:58He grabbed the back of the chair to stay upright

01:09:01Serena, you!

01:09:03I turned to Celeste

01:09:04One last question

01:09:06Your wedding dress

01:09:07Your wedding dress

01:09:09Paris couture

01:09:11One of only three in the world

01:09:13Right?

01:09:14The designer is named Jean-Pierre

01:09:16His Atelier was in the 8th apartment of Paris

01:09:20I confirmed it

01:09:21That Atelier closed last year

01:09:24Your worldwide limited edition dress

01:09:26Was made by a knock-off factory in a warehouse district

01:09:28Production cost

01:09:30$380

01:09:33Celeste's face cycled between crimson and bone white

01:09:36You!

01:09:37Celeste

01:09:38You stole my fiancé

01:09:40I could let that go

01:09:41You took my wedding plans

01:09:43I could let that go too

01:09:45But you used the money my father got from selling my future to buy your car

01:09:49And then mocked me in front of everyone for being a nanny

01:09:52Do you have any shame at all?

01:09:54Total silence

01:09:55Celeste's eyes welled up

01:09:57Zack, say something!

01:09:58Zack stood to the side

01:10:00His face drained of color

01:10:01Unable to form a single word

01:10:03It wasn't that he didn't want to speak

01:10:04It was that he saw Lucian Carrington sitting in the third row

01:10:07Lucian's legs were elegantly crossed

01:10:09His expression was mild

01:10:11Lucian set down his wine glass and slowly rose

01:10:13Mrs. Wayne

01:10:14Mr. Carrington?

01:10:16Mrs. Celeste the wine

01:10:17I have some news for you

01:10:19Your fiancé Zach Thorne's company applied to Carrington Group last month

01:10:23For a $3 million loan

01:10:25Zack's face instantly lost all color

01:10:27That loan had been approved

01:10:28But after seeing how you treat my staff today

01:10:31I've changed my mind

01:10:33The loan is canceled

01:10:34Additionally

01:10:35Zack Tormann's company's three contracts within the Carrington supply chain

01:10:39Are terminated effective immediate

01:10:41Zack's legs gave out

01:10:42He dropped to his knees right there on the red carpet

01:10:45Mr. Carrington

01:10:46Mr. Carrington

01:10:47This has nothing to do with Celeste

01:10:49It was me!

01:10:50Nothing to do with your bride?

01:10:51So you and your bride

01:10:53When your ex-fiancé was at her lowest point

01:10:57Repeatedly humiliating her

01:10:58Threatening her

01:10:58Forcing her to be your maid of honor

01:11:00That had nothing to do with either of you

01:11:02Vests exchanged glances

01:11:04Celeste stole her sister's fiancé

01:11:06Oh my god

01:11:07The Porsche down payment came from that?

01:11:09I know about the Stanton case

01:11:11Academia always said it was a wrongful accusation

01:11:14Serena?

01:11:15You ruined my wedding?

01:11:17Your wedding?

01:11:18You built it from the start

01:11:19Using everything that was mine

01:11:21My fiancé was mine

01:11:22My wedding date was mine

01:11:24My wedding planning was mine

01:11:26You stripped me bare

01:11:27All you've done today is return a fraction of what you took

01:11:30I stepped off the stage

01:11:31As I passed Stephen Wynn

01:11:33He reached out to grab me

01:11:34Stephen

01:11:36A lawyer will contact you tomorrow

01:11:38Either turn yourself in

01:11:40Or wait for the summons

01:11:41I walked to Lucian

01:11:42Ready?

01:11:43Ready

01:11:43He extended his hand

01:11:45I took it

01:11:45Together we walked out of the ballroom

01:11:47Behind us

01:11:48Chaos

01:11:48I didn't look back

01:11:49Out of the hotel

01:11:50Into the Maybach

01:11:51The moment the car started moving

01:11:52I realized my hands were shaking

01:11:54Lucian said nothing

01:11:55He pulled a bottle of water from the car's cooler

01:11:57And handed it to me

01:11:59You okay?

01:11:59Yeah

01:12:01Satisfying?

01:12:01Hard to say

01:12:02Not as satisfying as I imagined

01:12:04Because you weren't doing it for satisfaction

01:12:06You were doing it for justice

01:12:08Lucian

01:12:09Hmm?

01:12:10You cancelled three million in loans

01:12:11And three supply chain contracts today

01:12:14Isn't that a loss for you?

01:12:17Those projects were negligible

01:12:19Zack's company is too small to matter to Carrington Group

01:12:22Then why did you approve his loan in the first place?

01:12:25I didn't notice

01:12:25Loans that size get approved by subordinates

01:12:28Three million dollars to him was didn't notice money

01:12:31It was the first time I concretely understood just how wealthy this man was

01:12:35Back at the estate

01:12:36Noah was sitting at the entrance waiting for me

01:12:38The moment he saw me step out of the car

01:12:40He ran

01:12:41Nami

01:12:41Sarah

01:12:41You're back

01:12:44I'm back

01:12:45Did you defeat the big bad wolf?

01:12:47Defeated

01:12:47He wrapped his arms around my neck and laughed

01:12:50I laughed too

01:12:51This was the moment that truly felt worth it

01:12:54That night

01:12:54Lucian unusually stayed on the first floor

01:12:56Instead of going up to the third

01:12:58He sat on the sofa reviewing documents

01:13:00While I read Noah a picture book nearby

01:13:02Noah fell asleep leaning against me mid-story

01:13:05I carried him upstairs

01:13:06Lucian followed

01:13:07I laid Noah in bed and tucked him in

01:13:09He's getting more and more attached to you

01:13:12That's a good thing

01:13:13For him it's a good thing

01:13:14What about for you?

01:13:17What do you mean?

01:13:18Someday

01:13:19You'll leave

01:13:20You can't be a nanny forever

01:13:22You have your career

01:13:23Your future

01:13:24Once Professor Stannan's case is overturned

01:13:26Your academic reputation will be restored

01:13:29Institutions will come calling

01:13:30I told you I'm not leaving

01:13:32You said that to Noah

01:13:34I'm saying it to you too

01:13:35Serena?

01:13:36I'm not making some grand declaration

01:13:39I'm just saying

01:13:40Right now

01:13:41In this moment

01:13:41I don't want to leave here

01:13:42He looked at me for a long time

01:13:44Then he smiled

01:13:45Soft

01:13:45Faint

01:13:46But it was the first time

01:13:47I had ever seen him smile

01:13:48Three days after the wedding incident

01:13:50The internet exploded

01:13:51Someone had filmed the wedding

01:13:53All of it

01:13:54What kind of father

01:13:55Sells his daughter for 50 grand?

01:13:57Zach Thorman is the king of all jerks

01:13:58The comments were unanimously on my side

01:14:00Serena

01:14:01You deserve so much better

01:14:03Celeste's social media

01:14:04Vanished completely

01:14:05Zach's company stock dropped 30%

01:14:08Stephen Wynn was summoned by the police

01:14:10Everything was unfolding as it should

01:14:12But the story wasn't over yet

01:14:14That afternoon

01:14:15The butler approached me with a grave expression

01:14:18Miss Wynn

01:14:19A woman named Lydia Carrington

01:14:21Has delivered a legal notice to the estate

01:14:23I took it and read

01:14:25Lydia was demanding renewed custody of Noah

01:14:27Her grounds

01:14:28The nanny employed by Lucian Carrington

01:14:30Has a complicated personal background

01:14:32And chaotic family relationships

01:14:34Making her unsuitable to be around the child

01:14:36She was using the wedding scandal as ammunition

01:14:39My heart sank

01:14:40Does Mr. Carrington know?

01:14:42Aiden has already informed him

01:14:43Five minutes later

01:14:45Lucian called

01:14:46You saw the legal notice?

01:14:48Yes

01:14:48Don't worry

01:14:50She's not getting custody

01:14:52But the grounds she cited?

01:14:53Those grounds won't hold up

01:14:55Your personal background

01:14:56And your professional confidence

01:14:58Are two separate things

01:14:59The court looks at the quality of care

01:15:02Provided to the child

01:15:03Not the Nancy's family drama

01:15:05But?

01:15:07Serena, listen to me

01:15:08Lydia's been fighting for visitation

01:15:10For three years

01:15:10And lost every time

01:15:11The lawyer she hired now

01:15:13Is someone I know

01:15:13All flash, no substance

01:15:15Alright

01:15:15Let me handle this

01:15:16But I knew it wasn't that simple

01:15:18Lydia's goal wasn't really Noah

01:15:20It was money

01:15:21Two days later

01:15:23Lydia asked to meet me at a cafe

01:15:24The butler was against it

01:15:26Lucian was against it

01:15:27If I don't go

01:15:27She'll think I have something to hide

01:15:28Lucian looked at me for a few seconds

01:15:30Aiden goes with you

01:15:32Fine

01:15:33The cafe

01:15:34Lydia sat by the window

01:15:35In a white dress

01:15:36She was beautiful

01:15:37The cold, aggressive kind of beautiful

01:15:39Serena, win

01:15:41Finally

01:15:42Face to face

01:15:43Why did you want to meet?

01:15:45Straight to the point

01:15:46I like that

01:15:48Serena, I know all about you

01:15:50Betrayed by your father

01:15:52Abandoned by your fiancé

01:15:53Desperate enough to become a nanny

01:15:55Rough

01:15:56So?

01:15:57So I'm giving you some advice

01:15:59Leave the Carrington household

01:16:01Why?

01:16:02Because your presence there

01:16:03Only brings trouble for Noah

01:16:04Look

01:16:05Your father is facing criminal charges

01:16:07Your family is a mess

01:16:08Eventually all of this will surface

01:16:09And what will the media write?

01:16:10The Carrington family nanny

01:16:12Daughter of a convicted criminal

01:16:13Do you think that's good for Noah?

01:16:14What are you really trying to say?

01:16:16Her smile faded

01:16:17What I'm saying is

01:16:18Stay away from Lucian

01:16:21He's my ex-husband

01:16:22Noah is my son

01:16:23You're an outsider

01:16:25Don't meddle in our family affairs

01:16:27Don't meddle in our family affairs

01:16:27You abandoned custody when Nathan was six months old

01:16:31You left him alone in a mall for three hours

01:16:35What right do you have to call this your family?

01:16:38That was an accident?

01:16:39An accident?

01:16:40You abandoned your child to go abroad with your lover

01:16:44That's not an accident?

01:16:47That's abandonment?

01:16:48You

01:16:48Lydia

01:16:49I'm not leaving

01:16:50Sue if you want

01:16:51But you should know

01:16:52Lucian has the best legal team in Northport

01:16:54And you?

01:16:56You couldn't even sustain without relying on someone else's pocket

01:16:58How do you know that?

01:16:59I don't need to explain how I know

01:17:00I just need you to know that you can't afford to lose

01:17:03If you actually cared about Noah

01:17:05You wouldn't be using him as leverage to extort money

01:17:07You've never cared about Noah

01:17:09You only care about yourself

01:17:10I walked out

01:17:11Behind me came the sound of a coffee cup shattering

01:17:14I didn't look back

01:17:16Aiden was waiting outside

01:17:17How did it go?

01:17:18Fine

01:17:19She won't be back

01:17:20How can you be sure?

01:17:22Because she's out of cards to play

01:17:24And indeed Lydia never returned

01:17:25A week later she withdrew her legal notice

01:17:28The butler said she'd gone abroad

01:17:30Where exactly?

01:17:31No one cared

01:17:32Professor Cedric Stanton's case reached resolution three weeks later

01:17:35Stephen Wynn confessed to fabricating evidence

01:17:38Sentenced to two years

01:17:39Felix Morden was sentenced to three years

01:17:42Professor Stanton's name was formally cleared

01:17:44Northport University issued a public statement

01:17:47Acknowledging errors in the original investigation

01:17:49And formally apologized to Professor Stanton

01:17:52Simultaneously, my academic record was reinstated

01:17:55Northport University awarded me my honors certificate

01:17:58And scholarship retroactively

01:18:00Three top-tier medical research institutions sent me invitations

01:18:04Northport's largest children's hospital also extended an offer

01:18:08To bring me on as a special consultant in pediatric psychology

01:18:11The day the news broke, I was at the estate drawing with Noah

01:18:14Noah drew a picture, a house, a tall figure, a short figure, and a gray rabbit

01:18:19But this time, there was another person beside the short figure

01:18:22Who's this?

01:18:24Nami Sira

01:18:25Daddy

01:18:28Noah

01:18:30Bunny

01:18:32Then he drew a crooked, wobbly line circling all four figures together

01:18:36Family

01:18:37I looked at that drawing, my throat tight

01:18:40Noah

01:18:41Hmm?

01:18:43You drew it beautifully

01:18:44I don't know how long Lucien had been standing in the doorway

01:18:47But when he walked over, he picked up that drawing and looked at it for a long time

01:18:51Noah, do you want Nani Sira to stay here forever?

01:18:56Yes!

01:18:57Then ask her if she wants to

01:19:01Nani Sira, will you stay here forever?

01:19:04I looked at Noah, then at Lucien

01:19:06Yes

01:19:08Noah let out a cheer and threw himself into my arms

01:19:10Lucien stood up, I stood up too

01:19:13We faced each other

01:19:14So?

01:19:15So what?

01:19:16You're willing to stay, forever

01:19:18I said yes

01:19:20Then your job title

01:19:21What about it?

01:19:23Can we change it?

01:19:24Change it to what?

01:19:26He extended his hand

01:19:29Let's start with Mrs. Carrington

01:19:31I looked at his hand, long fingers, well-defined knuckles, palm up

01:19:35A year ago, I was crouched in a hospital hallway with $300 to my name

01:19:39Six months ago, I walked into this estate as the ninth nanny

01:19:43Three months ago, a child who couldn't speak called me nanny for the first time

01:19:47And now, this man, once cold as an iceberg, in front of his son, was reaching out his hand

01:19:52to me

01:19:52I took it, his hand was warm

01:19:54Five years later

01:19:56Northport

01:19:56I stood before the Northport Children's Medical Center and looked up at the golden plaque by the entrance

01:20:02Serena Wynn Center for Child Psychology

01:20:04This research center, bearing my name, was one of the largest early intervention facilities for childhood autism in the country

01:20:12Over 20,000 children treated annually

01:20:14Three years ago, my paper was accepted by a top international journal

01:20:18Two years ago, I received the highest honor in the international field of child psychology

01:20:23One year ago, I was appointed Northport University's youngest visiting professor

01:20:27Professor Cedric Stanton serves as the center's honorary advisor, flying in for a week every month

01:20:33Sarah, you've surpassed everything I ever achieved

01:20:37Noah is nine now

01:20:38He attends Northport's best elementary school

01:20:41Top of his class

01:20:42He's no longer afraid of strangers

01:20:44No longer afraid of being abandoned

01:20:46He has friends

01:20:47He has hobbies

01:20:48He laughs

01:20:49He draws

01:20:49His drawings cover an entire wall of the bedroom Lucian and I share

01:20:53His favorite thing to draw is still the family

01:20:55Only now, the picture includes one more tiny figure

01:20:58His little sister

01:20:59Lucian named her Luna Carrington

01:21:02Luna is two years old

01:21:03Round and soft as a mochi dumpling

01:21:05She inherited Lucian's looks and my personality

01:21:08Beautiful and stubborn

01:21:09Noah absolutely dotes on her

01:21:11The first thing he does every day after school is go check on his sister

01:21:15Did Luna cry today?

01:21:17No

01:21:19Good

01:21:19The butler is still the same butler

01:21:21Mrs. Carrington

01:21:22I've served this household for 20 years

01:21:25These last five have been the happiest of them all

01:21:27Stephen Wynn was released from prison

01:21:29He had someone deliver a letter to me

01:21:31I never opened it

01:21:33Fiona and Celeste left Northport long ago

01:21:35Celeste's wedding to Zach never happened

01:21:38After the disaster at the ceremony

01:21:40Zach's company went bankrupt within six months

01:21:42He now runs a tiny firm in a small town

01:21:45Scraping by

01:21:46Celeste left him

01:21:47She married a minor businessman

01:21:49Word is, things are unremarkable

01:21:51I saw her in the news once

01:21:52She'd put on a lot of weight

01:21:54Standing at the entrance of a housing complex

01:21:56Screaming at someone

01:21:57I closed the page

01:21:59Still thinking about her?

01:22:01No

01:22:01I just suddenly thought if she hadn't stolen Zach Rack then I might have married him

01:22:06And then?

01:22:07And then there would be no you

01:22:09He smiled

01:22:10He smiled a lot more than he did five years ago

01:22:13And warmer

01:22:13Serena

01:22:15That nancy job you applied for

01:22:17It wasn't actually a public listing

01:22:19What do you mean?

01:22:21That job listing was posted at Professor Stanton's request

01:22:24Professor Stanton?

01:22:26When you hit rock bottom

01:22:27Professor Stanton reached out to me

01:22:30He told me about a student of his

01:22:32The most gifted person he'd ever taught

01:22:34Who was going through a terrible time

01:22:36He asked me to help

01:22:37So, from the very beginning it wasn't a coincidence?

01:22:41The nancy position was real

01:22:42The $50,000 salary was real

01:22:45Noah genuinely needed a good caregiver

01:22:47But the listing was targeted

01:22:48Sent only to you

01:22:50Professor Stanton said you would come

01:22:51That you would definitely come

01:22:54Because you were the most resilient person he'd ever known

01:22:57And you?

01:22:58Did you decide to keep me the first time we met?

01:23:01No

01:23:03Then when?

01:23:04The night you asked whether you could get an advance on your salary

01:23:07Just because I asked about an advance?

01:23:10Because at your hardest moment

01:23:11You didn't cry or beg

01:23:12You sent one message

01:23:14Asking if salary could be advanced

01:23:16Calm

01:23:17Controlled

01:23:18In that moment I thought

01:23:19This person cannot be broken

01:23:21The sunlight through the window is beautiful

01:23:23Luna is babbling in the living room

01:23:25Noah's voice floats down from upstairs

01:23:27Luna threw bunny again!

01:23:29The butler is in the kitchen preparing dinner

01:23:31I lean against Lucian's shoulder

01:23:32Lufian

01:23:33Hmm?

01:23:34That piece of candy you gave me back then

01:23:36What brand was it?

01:23:37You still remember?

01:23:38I remember

01:23:39I ate it

01:23:41That candy was left by my mother

01:23:42Before she passed she left me a jar of candy

01:23:44Said whenever something sad happened eat one

01:23:47I never did

01:23:49But you gave one to me

01:23:50Because you needed it more than I did

01:23:52I reached out and traced a word on his palm with my finger

01:23:55What word?

01:23:56Home

01:23:57He wrapped his hand around mine

01:23:58Holding it tight in his palm

01:24:00Very tight

01:24:01Very warm

01:24:02Outside the window

01:24:03The sunset has turned the lake to gold

01:24:05That grey stuffed rabbit still sits on Noah's nightstand

01:24:08Beside it now is a smaller pink rabbit

01:24:11Luna's

01:24:12On the windowsill

01:24:13Three origami rabbits

01:24:14One big

01:24:15One medium

01:24:16One small

01:24:17Folded by our family

01:24:18The one with one long ear and one short ear

01:24:21That's Lucian's

01:24:22After five years

01:24:23He still can't fold them right

01:24:24But Noah says

01:24:25Daddy's ratties is the prettiest

01:24:27Luna reaches for the rabbits

01:24:29Can't quite reach

01:24:30Noah gets them down for her

01:24:32Here

01:24:33Don't throw them again

01:24:35I stand in the doorway

01:24:36Watching them

01:24:37Lucian comes up behind me

01:24:39And rests his chin on top of my head

01:24:41What are you thinking about?

01:24:42I'm thinking

01:24:43The Serena who was crouched in that hospital hallway

01:24:45With three hundred dollars to her name

01:24:47Could never dreamed of a day like this

01:24:48She didn't need to dream

01:24:49She just needed to walk in

01:24:51Can't beòm

01:24:51From one hand

01:24:51You can't see
