00:00$50,000 a month. Room and board included. Looking after a 4-year-old child. I stared at the job
00:07listing on my phone screen, convinced my eyes were playing tricks on me. I checked it 3 times. No mistake.
00:14$50,000. $50,000. I was crouched in a corner of the hospital hallway with exactly $307 left to my
00:21name. Three days earlier, my fiancé, Malzak Thornton, had thrown me out of our wedding home.
00:26Serena, I'm marrying your sister. Pack your things and leave.
00:31My sister, Celeste Wynne, the daughter my father's second wife brought into our family. She stood there in the wedding
00:38dress I had picked out in the home I had spent 6 months decorating and smiled at me.
00:42Thanks for warming up the bed for me, sis.
00:46I didn't cry. My mother was still lying in the ICU, the bills pouring out like water through an open
00:52tap.
00:52My father?
00:54Sarah, if your sister marries in, the Thornton family's bride price will pay her mother's treatment. Just let this one
01:00go.
01:00Let this one go. Let go of my fiancé, Mal. Let go of my wedding home. Let go of my
01:06dignity. And in the end, they didn't spend a single cent on my mother.
01:10So now, I needed money. A lot of it.
01:13I dialed the number from the listing.
01:16Hello, you've reached Carrington Domestic Services.
01:18Are you calling about the live and nanny position with the $50,000 monthly salary?
01:22Yes. May I ask your age?
01:2424.
01:25Education? Master of Clinical Medicine from North Fort University. Minor in Child Psychology.
01:30Please be at the main gate of Lakeview Manor tomorrow morning at 10. Someone will receive you.
01:34I hung up and looked down at my wrinkled t-shirt and sneakers. Doesn't matter. I'm applying to be a
01:39nanny, not walking a runway.
01:41The next day. Lakeview Manor.
01:45I stood at the entrance and my entire brain short-circuited. This was an entire mountain.
01:50And there was only one house on it. No, calling it a house would be an insult. This was an
01:56estate.
01:57Miss Wynn, this way, please.
01:58The butler led me along the 200-yard tree-lined path, past the private stables, indoor heated swimming pool and
02:05indoor botanical garden, before finally stopping in the Grand Hall.
02:09I fought to keep my expression neutral.
02:11Mr. Carrington isn't home at the moment. You'll meet the young master first.
02:15The butler brought me to a room on the second floor.
02:18The door opened. A little boy sat on the carpet, a row of building blocks arranged before him in perfect
02:24order.
02:25He looked up at me. His eyes were striking. Deep blue, like two pieces of polished sapphire.
02:31Noah, this is the new nanny.
02:33The young master didn't speak at all until he was three.
02:36He said his first word last year, but even now, now, he only says a few words to Mr. Carrington
02:40occasionally.
02:41The previous nannies, the longest one, lasted a week.
02:44Why did they leave?
02:45The young master is difficult.
02:48I crouched down to meet the boy at eye level.
02:50He ignored me.
02:51I just sat quietly beside him, picked up a block, and placed it next to the castle he was building.
02:57He glanced at it, then picked up the block I had placed and threw it aside.
03:01I picked up another and put it in a different spot.
03:04He threw that one too.
03:05Farther this time, I picked up a third block.
03:08This time, I started building a tiny swing set beside it instead.
03:12His hands stopped.
03:13He stared at the swing set for three full seconds, then took a block from his own castle and placed
03:20it next to the swing set.
03:21The butler froze in the doorway.
03:23I smiled.
03:25Your castle is beautiful.
03:27He didn't answer, but he didn't throw my block away.
03:31The butler brought me back downstairs, his expression complicated.
03:35Miss Wynn, you're the first person who hasn't had something thrown at them by the young master.
03:38Throwing blocks doesn't count.
03:40The previous nannies got flower vases thrown at them.
03:42Mr. Carrington will be home this evening.
03:44He'll interview you personally.
03:45Until then, feel free to familiarize yourself with the grounds and change into your uniform.
03:49Second floor, the living quarters.
03:52The entire third floor was the master suite.
03:55That is Mr. Carrington's private space.
03:57No one is permitted entry.
03:59My room was on the second floor, right next to Noah's room.
04:02I sat on the edge of the bed and stared into space for a while.
04:06Three days ago, I was being thrown out of my wedding home.
04:09Now I was sitting in an estate worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
04:12Life has a twisted sense of humor.
04:14Eight o'clock that evening.
04:16Movement downstairs.
04:17The butler knocked on my door.
04:19I went down.
04:22A man stood in the entryway, bent over, untying his shoelaces.
04:27When he straightened up, only one thought filled my mind.
04:30This man is impossibly good-looking.
04:32His features were striking, but not harsh.
04:37The kind of handsome that made you unable to look away and too intimidated to get close.
04:42He lifted his eyes to me.
04:43His gaze was faint, like he was looking at a piece of insignificant furniture.
04:48You're the new hire?
04:52Yes.
04:53Serena Wine.
04:54He didn't reply.
04:55The butler handed him a glass of water.
04:58Education?
04:59Master of Clinical Medicine.
05:01Northport University.
05:02Why become a nanny?
05:05I need money.
05:09He raised an eyebrow slightly.
05:12Noah's situation?
05:13The butler filled you in?
05:16Yes.
05:17Eight nannies before you.
05:18The longest lasted seven days.
05:24How long do you think you'll last?
05:27I don't know.
05:29But he didn't throw a vase at me this afternoon.
05:32His fingers paused on the water glass.
05:38One month probation.
05:39The butler will go over the rules.
05:41Noah's daily routine cannot be disrupted.
05:44He doesn't like strangers touching him.
05:46Don't force him to speak.
05:48One more thing.
05:50The third floor.
05:52Stay out.
05:53The whole exchange lasted less than three minutes.
05:55As I turned to go upstairs, I heard the butler say,
05:58Mr. Carrington, this Ms. Wynne seems steady.
06:04He didn't answer.
06:06I closed my bedroom door, sat on the bed, and pulled out my phone.
06:09Bank balance.
06:11$307.
06:12Mom's medical bills.
06:13$12,000 due tomorrow.
06:16I took a deep breath and sent the butler a message.
06:19Is it possible to get an advance on my salary?
06:24Two minutes later, the butler replied,
06:26Mr. Carrington says wages are calculated daily starting from day one of probation.
06:31Your first day's pay will be transferred tomorrow.
06:35At a $50,000 monthly rate, that's $1,666 per day.
06:41$1,600 a day.
06:43My hand trembled slightly as I held the phone.
06:46Enough.
06:47Survive first.
06:48Everything else can wait.
06:50The next morning, my alarm went off at six.
06:53I washed up and stepped out to find Noah already awake.
06:55He was sitting on the windowsill in his room,
06:58hugging a gray stuffed rabbit, staring outside.
07:01Sunlight fell across his face.
07:03His skin was so pale it was nearly translucent.
07:06Good morning.
07:08It's a beautiful day.
07:09There's mist on the lake.
07:11Still nothing.
07:12I didn't push.
07:14I turned and went to help the kitchen prepare breakfast.
07:17Mr. Carrington has left for the day.
07:20Noah's breakfast was usually milk, eggs, and toast.
07:23I carried the tray upstairs.
07:25Noah was still on the windowsill.
07:27Breakfast time.
07:28He glanced at me, but didn't move.
07:30I set the tray on the small table beside him, then sat down across from him.
07:35I didn't rush him.
07:37About five minutes passed.
07:38Noah reached out and took a piece of toast.
07:41Took a bite.
07:42I pretended not to notice.
07:44He finished the entire piece of toast and drank half his milk.
07:47Then he looked at my phone screen, dense with medical terminology, and his little brow furrowed.
07:53What are you reading?
07:55What are you reading?
07:55He spoke.
07:56The butler had said he'd barely said a word to anyone except Lucian Carrington.
08:00Some information about treating illnesses.
08:03Who's sick?
08:05My mother.
08:10I don't have a mother.
08:12In that moment, something stabbed right through my chest.
08:16I just said,
08:17Then if you ever feel unwell, you can tell me.
08:20I studied how to treat people.
08:22He looked up at me.
08:24In those sapphire eyes, there was something slightly different.
08:27Faint, but I caught it.
08:29After breakfast, the butler came upstairs to collect the trick.
08:32When he saw the half-empty milk glass,
08:35Miss Wynne, the young master usually only eats two bites at breakfast.
08:38He finished a whole piece of toast today.
08:40The butler's face could only be described as seeing a ghost.
08:44At ten that morning, I was keeping Noah company in the playroom while he drew.
08:48He was drawing a house with a tall figure standing beside it.
08:51Only one figure.
08:52I didn't ask who it was.
08:54My phone rang.
08:55Unknown number.
08:59Hello?
09:00Serena.
09:01The moment I heard that voice, my hand clenched.
09:04Zach Thornton, my ex-fiance.
09:06How did you get my number?
09:08I've always had it.
09:10Serena, I'm calling about something serious.
09:12Your mother's hospital bills.
09:14You're running out of money, aren't you?
09:16We have nothing serious between us.
09:18Your father told me.
09:20He says you're carrying everything alone now.
09:22No place to live, either.
09:24My father.
09:26The wonderful father who gave my wedding home and my fiancé to Celeste.
09:30Serena, Celesta and I talked about it.
09:32We can cover your mother's medical expenses.
09:34On what condition?
09:35Be Celesta's maid of honor.
09:38Excuse me?
09:39We're getting married next month.
09:40Celesta wants you as her maid of honor.
09:42You know how it is.
09:43You're sisters.
09:43It would look good in front of everyone.
09:45You're using my wedding date, my wedding planner, my wedding dress, and now you want to use
09:49me too?
09:50I laughed.
09:51I actually laughed.
09:52Zach, do you think I'm that easy to walk all over?
09:55I hung up.
09:57Noah stopped drawing and looked up at me.
09:59You're sad.
10:00He said.
10:02It's nothing.
10:03Keep drawing.
10:04He looked down and added another small figure to the paper, standing beside the tall one.
10:10At noon, I got a call from the hospital.
10:12Mrs. Nguyen, your mother's medical fees must be paid before 5 o'clock today, or we'll
10:17be forced to suspend some treatments.
10:20$12,000.
10:21I had 307 plus today's $1,600.
10:25Less than $2,000.
10:26$10,000 short.
10:28I called everyone I could think of to borrow from.
10:31College friends.
10:32Former colleagues.
10:33Distant relatives.
10:35No one picked up.
10:36Or they did.
10:37With a string of apologies.
10:393.30 in the afternoon.
10:41I stood at the end of the second floor hallway, staring out at the lake, and for the first
10:46time, I felt like I was about to break.
10:48Miss Nguyen?
10:51What is it?
10:52Mr. Carrington asked me to inform you.
10:54A month's salary has been advanced to your account.
10:57I froze.
10:58I pulled out my phone.
11:00A bank notification.
11:01Deposit.
11:02$50,000.
11:04$50,000 in full.
11:06I stared at the number, unable to speak.
11:09Mr. Carrington said it's an advance, not charity.
11:12Deduct what's owed, then resume regular monthly payment.
11:17Tell Mr. Carrington.
11:20Thank you.
11:23I turned.
11:24Lucian Carrington had returned at some point.
11:27Don't thank me.
11:29Just take good care of Noah.
11:31He walked past me without slowing.
11:33He went up to the third floor.
11:35The door closed.
11:36I stood there, gripping my phone.
11:38$50,000.
11:40My mother was going to be okay.
11:42At 4.30, I rushed to the hospital and paid the $12,000 in medical fees.
11:46My mother lay in the hospital bed, nothing but skin and bones.
11:51Sarah.
11:52Where did the money come from?
11:55I found a job.
11:56The pay is good, Mom.
11:58Don't worry.
11:59What kind of job?
12:03Taking care of a child.
12:05Sarah, your father came by.
12:08My expression went cold instantly.
12:11What did he want?
12:12He said Celeste's getting married.
12:14Told me not to hold a grudge.
12:15He also said,
12:17If you agree to be the maid of R, they'll cover the surgery costs.
12:20Mom, the surgery is all we paid for.
12:23We don't need their money.
12:25I've been such a burden to you.
12:28No, you haven't.
12:29I pressed her hand firmly.
12:30You just focus on getting better.
12:33Leave everything else to me.
12:35I left the hospital after dark and stood outside waiting for a cab.
12:38A white Porsche suddenly pulled up in front of me.
12:42The window rolled down.
12:43Celeste Wynn sat in the passenger seat, makeup flawless, a smirk on her lips.
12:47Well, well.
12:50Little sister.
12:51What are you doing here?
12:54Zach Thornton was in the driver's seat.
12:56When he saw me, his expression turned uncomfortable.
12:59Visiting Mom.
13:00Oh, Zach and I were just coming to visit Aunt 2.
13:03Perfect timing.
13:05By the way, sis.
13:07Zach told you about the maid of Maren thing, right?
13:09Have you thought about it?
13:11No.
13:13Come on.
13:13Don't be so petty.
13:14Zach and I are truly in love.
13:16You can't hold a grudge forever.
13:18I'm not holding a grudge.
13:21I'm just not interested.
13:22Serena.
13:23Selesha is being kind.
13:25Don't be ungrateful.
13:26Ungrateful?
13:26You and my sister slept in my bed.
13:28You're using my wedding dress to get married.
13:30And now you want me to stand there as maid of honor and smile for you?
13:33Zach, has something gone wrong with your brain?
13:35His face flushed red.
13:36You.
13:38Enough.
13:39I turned and walked away.
13:40Serena.
13:41Don't get cocky.
13:43You think you can find someone better than Zach?
13:44Look at you.
13:45You don't even have a place to live.
13:46I didn't look back.
13:49Lakeview Manor.
13:51Ma'am, are you sure that address is right?
13:53That's the Carrington private estate.
13:56I'm the Carrington's nanny.
13:59The driver didn't say another word.
14:04It was nearly nine when I got back to the estate.
14:06The butler said Noah was already asleep.
14:08I quietly pushed open Noah's door to check on him.
14:11The little guy was curled up with that gray rabbit, sleeping soundly.
14:15A piece of drawing paper sat on his nightstand.
14:17I picked it up.
14:18It was the drawing from that afternoon.
14:20A house.
14:21A tall figure.
14:23A short one.
14:24And beside the short figure, two words had been added.
14:27Crooked and barely legible, but readable.
14:30Nanny Sarah.
14:31Close the door.
14:33Back in my own room, I sat on the bed, covered my face, and cried huo silently.
14:38Not from bitterness, because it had been so long since someone made me feel needed.
14:42Day three.
14:43I was starting to understand Noah's patterns.
14:46He didn't like being touched, but he could tolerate someone staying at arm's length.
14:50He didn't like noise, so I softened my voice whenever I spoke to him.
14:54He loved drawing.
14:55Loved blocks.
14:57Loved sitting on the windowsill staring into space.
15:00He loved that gray rabbit more than anything.
15:02Took it everywhere.
15:03In the morning, I tried telling him a story.
15:06He wasn't interested at first, but slowly inched closer.
15:09The story was about a rabbit going on an adventure.
15:12When I got to the part where the rabbit fell into a river, he suddenly asked,
15:15Can it swim?
15:17What do you think?
15:18He considered it.
15:20Teach it.
15:21All right.
15:21Then you teach it how to swim.
15:23He took over the story, stumbling through a few sentences.
15:26The butler stood in the doorway, his eyes glistening.
15:29Later, he told me,
15:31Miss Wynn, the last time the young master said this many words was two years ago.
15:35That afternoon, Lucian Carrington came home early.
15:38When Noah saw Lucian, his eyes lit up.
15:41Daddy.
15:42Lucian walked over, knelt on one knee, and ruffled his hair.
15:45Were you good today?
15:47Nanny taught me to build a bridge.
15:49Lucian glanced at me.
15:50His gaze was a fraction warmer than yesterday.
15:53Just a fraction.
15:54Good.
15:55I wasn't sure if he meant Noah or me.
15:57He stood up and said to the butler,
15:59Have the kitchen add an extra dish.
16:01Miss Wynn will join us for dinner tonight.
16:02It was the first time I ate at the same table as Lucian Carrington.
16:06His table manners were impeccable.
16:08Noah sat beside him, feeding himself with his spoon.
16:11Lucian looked at me.
16:12What were you doing before this?
16:14Interning at a clinic.
16:15Why didn't you continue?
16:17The clinic shut down.
16:19The truth was my advisor had run into trouble.
16:21The entire research project was suspended and my internship went with it.
16:25He didn't press.
16:25Noah has a checkup tomorrow.
16:27You'll go with him.
16:28What kind of checkup?
16:29Developmental pediatrics.
16:30He goes every month.
16:32Okay.
16:33After dinner, Lucian went up to the third floor.
16:36I helped Noah brush his teeth, gave him a bath, and told him a bedtime story.
16:41He fell asleep mid-story, his little hand still clutching my sleeve.
16:44I carefully freed my sleeve and tucked him in.
16:46I looked back from the doorway.
16:48This child, Huo, he just needed someone with patience to stay by his side.
16:52Day four.
16:52Morning.
16:53I took Noah to Northport Children's Hospital.
16:56The butler drove us to the entrance.
16:58VIP lane.
16:59Noah!
17:00Here to see Dr. Lin again.
17:01Noah hid behind me, peeking out with half his face.
17:04And this is...
17:05Serena Nguyen, Noah's nanny.
17:08Dr. Lin adjusted his glasses, studying me.
17:10You don't look much like a nanny.
17:12Is there a standard look for nannies?
17:14He smiled and began Noah's examination.
17:16Noah's physical indicators are all normal, but his social skills and language development
17:21are still behind.
17:22But he's jacked at every stranger so far.
17:24But today, he actually came willingly with you.
17:27That's already significant progress.
17:29Which number nanny are you?
17:30The ninth.
17:31I've met all eight before you.
17:33None of them could keep Noah this calm in an exam room.
17:35Have you studied child psychology?
17:38It was my minor.
17:39Northport University?
17:40Yes.
17:41Who was your advisor?
17:43Professor Cedric Stanton.
17:45Dr. Lin stared at me for several long seconds.
17:47Professor Stanton's final prop mao g mao, the Serena Nguyen who won the National Pediatric
17:52Pathology Competition.
17:53I hadn't expected him to know.
17:55Yes.
17:55I've read your paper.
17:57Outstanding work.
18:00How did you end up?
18:01He looked at me and stopped mid-sentence.
18:03Life takes turns.
18:05Dr. Lin, could you send me a copy of Noah's detailed report?
18:08I'd like to design some targeted interaction plans based on his condition.
18:11Of course.
18:12Miss Wien, Noah is very fortunate to have met you.
18:16Leaving the hospital, the butler came to pick us up.
18:18Noah sat in the back seat.
18:20For the first time, he voluntarily tugged at the hem of my shirt.
18:23Nampi Sarah?
18:24Yes?
18:25Will you still be here tomorrow?
18:27Yes.
18:28He nodded, saying nothing more, but the corner of his mouth lifted just slightly.
18:32The butler caught it in the rear view mirror and nearly swerved off the roof.
18:35Miss Wien, Mr. Carrington has a visitor this afternoon.
18:38Please keep the young master upstairs.
18:40What kind of visitor?
18:42Mrs. Carrington.
18:43I blinked.
18:44Isn't Mr. Carrington...
18:45The former Mrs. Carrington.
18:47The butler's expression was delicate.
18:49The young master's biological mother.
18:51Noah's mother?
18:52I thought he didn't have a mother.
18:54I can't say too much about the details, but remember, no matter what happens, do not let
18:59the young master go downstairs.
19:01Two o'clock that afternoon, the sound of high heels echoed up from the first floor.
19:06Loud.
19:07Every step carried authority.
19:09I was upstairs drawing with Noah.
19:11He suddenly stopped his pencil, his entire body going rigid.
19:15He heard her.
19:16Nanny Sarah?
19:17She's here.
19:18His hands were shaking.
19:20I crouched down to his level.
19:22Noah, you don't want to see her, do you?
19:24He shook his head.
19:25Then you won't.
19:26Let's keep drawing.
19:27A woman's voice rose from downstairs huo, crisp, but with an indefinable sharpness.
19:33Where's Noah?
19:34Bring him down.
19:35I want to see him.
19:36You don't have that right.
19:37I'm his mother!
19:39You gave up custody when he was six months old.
19:42Lydia, what exactly do you want?
19:46I silently filed that name away.
19:48The argument downstairs lasted about 20 minutes.
19:51At several points, Lydia raised her voice and Noah's body flinched every single time.
19:55I said nothing.
19:56I just sat beside him, quietly drawing with him.
19:59Eventually, the noise downstairs stopped.
20:01The click of high heels faded away.
20:03Noah set down his pencil, crawled over to me, and buried his face in my arm.
20:07Nanny Sarah?
20:09Hm?
20:10Don't leave.
20:12My nose stung.
20:13I won't leave.
20:14That evening, Lucian came upstairs.
20:16He stood at Noah's doorway and watched Noah sleeping against me, silent for a long moment.
20:22Lydia came by.
20:23He didn't deny it.
20:24What does she want?
20:26Money.
20:27It's always money.
20:30Noah is terrified of her.
20:32I know.
20:33He was trembling the entire time today.
20:35Lucian's hand tightened into a fist.
20:37I'll handle it.
20:39Thank you for today.
20:40He turned to leave.
20:41Mr. Carrington.
20:43He stopped.
20:43Noah isn't unable to speak.
20:45He's afraid.
20:46What he fears isn't strangers.
20:48It's being abandoned.
20:50His back was to me.
20:51He didn't move.
20:52Hm.
20:53He walked away.
20:54But I saw his shoulders were rigid.
20:56Day five.
20:57Everything seemed to be falling into a rhythm.
21:00Morning.
21:00Drawing.
21:01Blocks.
21:02Stories with Noah.
21:04Afternoon.
21:04Walking around the estate together.
21:06He was starting to let me hold his hand now.
21:09Evening.
21:10Bedtime stories.
21:11He listened to every single one before falling asleep.
21:14The words were coming more and more.
21:16Still sparse.
21:18But noticeably more than before.
21:19The butler said Lucian had been coming home earlier lately.
21:22He used to return past midnight.
21:24Now he was almost always back before nine.
21:27First thing he did.
21:28Check on Noah.
21:29If Noah was already asleep.
21:31He'd stand at the door for a moment.
21:32Take a look.
21:33And then go up to the third floor.
21:35That day I was in the kitchen.
21:36Helping prepare Noah's afternoon snack.
21:38My phone rang.
21:39Caller ID.
21:40Dad.
21:40I hesitated for two seconds then answered.
21:44Sarah.
21:45What do you want?
21:46How do sister wedding?
21:48No.
21:49Why are you so stubborn?
21:51Celeste is your sister.
21:52She's your wife's baggage.
21:53Not my sister.
21:55Silence on the other end.
21:56Serena, watch your mouth.
21:58Your mother is the way she is because of that attitude of yours.
22:00Because of what?
22:01Because she was abandoned by you?
22:03Stephen, my mother is lying in a hospital bed right now.
22:06And you haven't contributed a single penny.
22:08What gives you the right to even talk to me?
22:10I don't have money.
22:11You know the situation at home?
22:13No money at home, but Celeste's Porsche was bought with pocket winch?
22:15Zach bought that for her.
22:17Even better.
22:18Spending my ex-fiance's money driving the car in front of me to rub it in.
22:21You people are truly something.
22:23Serena, are you coming or not?
22:25If you don't, your mother's surgery costs...
22:27I've covered the surgery costs myself.
22:29Don't trouble yourself.
22:30I hung up.
22:31My fingers were trembling slightly.
22:33Not from fear.
22:34From disgust.
22:36Your father?
22:37Lucian Carrington was standing in the kitchen doorway.
22:40An empty glass in his hand.
22:41Probably came to get water.
22:42Yeah.
22:43Not on good terms?
22:44No relationship at all.
22:46A double-meaning quo?
22:48Answering his question and stating the truth about me and my father.
22:51He looked at me for a second.
22:53Didn't ask anything else.
22:54As he walked past me, he set down the empty glass.
22:57It wasn't empty.
22:58There was a piece of candy inside.
23:01I stared at that candy for several long seconds.
23:04Lucian Carrington never ate candy.
23:07The candy in his study drawer was meant for Noah.
23:09But Noah didn't like this brand.
23:11So that piece of candy had been sitting there.
23:14Until today, when he gave it to me.
23:16I don't know if it was meant as comfort.
23:18But that night I ate it.
23:20It was very sweet.
23:21Day 7.
23:22I officially made it through my first week of probation.
23:24None of the previous Nammies had made it past 7 days.
23:28You are the first.
23:30Lucian came home especially early that day, Huo, 6 o'clock.
23:33Noah ran to take his hand.
23:34Daddy, Nanny taught me to fold a rabbit today.
23:37He pulled a crookedly folded paper rabbit from his pocket and held it up to Lucian.
23:41Lucian took it and studied it.
23:42Good.
23:43Noah ran back to me.
23:44Nammie, Sarah, teach Daddy to fold one too.
23:47Lucian and I both froze.
23:49Your daddy's probably busy.
23:50I'm not busy.
23:51And then he actually sat down and picked up a piece of paper.
23:54I taught him how to fold a paper rabbit.
23:56His hands were large, knuckles well defined, and surprisingly clumsy with origami.
24:00He failed three times in a row.
24:02Noah was doubled over laughing beside him.
24:04Lucian eventually produced a rabbit that barely passed his one.
24:08One ear long, one ear short.
24:10Noah took it and placed it beside his own.
24:12Daddy rabbit and baby rabbit.
24:15Nammie, Sarah, fold one too.
24:18I folded one.
24:19Noah placed all three rabbits side by side on the windowsill.
24:23Rabbit family.
24:25Lucian looked at me.
24:26I couldn't quite read the expression in his eyes, but the corner of his mouth moved,
24:30barely perceptible, but I caught it.
24:32That night, after putting Noah to bed, I went downstairs for water and ran into Lucian
24:37in the hallway.
24:37He was leaning against the railing, phone in hand, lost in thought.
24:43Noah asleep?
24:44He asked.
24:45Sleeping.
24:46He laughed several times today.
24:49Hmm.
24:50A moment of silence.
24:55Serena.
24:57Yes?
24:58Your probation doesn't need to last the full month.
25:02My heart seized, whoa.
25:04I thought he was about to fire me.
25:07Starting tomorrow, you're permanent.
25:11Salary raised to $60,000.
25:14I was standing on the stairs and nearly missed a step.
25:17Mr. Carrington?
25:18You're worth it.
25:19He said it and went upstairs.
25:21I stood gripping the banister for a long time.
25:23$60,000.
25:25$60,000 a month.
25:27My mother's surgery costs, whoa, no longer a worry.
25:32The following days passed quickly.
25:34Good morning.
25:35Good morning, Noah.
25:36Noah's transformation was visible to the naked eye.
25:39He started greeting the kitchen staff voluntarily.
25:41Of course.
25:42He started being willing to spend time in the first floor drawing room.
25:45He even sat quietly in the corner of the study drawing, while Lucian was on conference calls.
25:50Dr. Lin sent the latest evaluation report.
25:53Noah's social ability indicators have improved by 40%.
25:57His verbal expression frequency is three times what it was three months ago.
26:01Ms. Nguyen, you've done an exceptional job.
26:04I looked at the report and exhaled.
26:06At least on this, whoa.
26:08On Noah, whoa.
26:09I delivered.
26:10Day 10.
26:11Trouble came.
26:12I was walking with Noah in the estate gardens when my phone buzzed with a message.
26:15From Celeste.
26:16A photo of a wedding invitation.
26:18It read,
26:19Mr. Zachary Thornton and Ms. Celeste Nguyen request the honor of your presence at their wedding.
26:25Followed by a message.
26:27Little sister, the invitations are already printed.
26:30Your name is on one.
26:32The maid of honor spot is still yours.
26:34I didn't reply.
26:35Ten minutes later, another one.
26:37Oh, by the way, I heard you're working as a nanny.
26:40A Northport University master's graduate working as a nanny.
26:44You really are bringing honor to the Nguyen family name.
26:47Still no reply.
26:47Are you too ashamed to respond?
26:49Whatever.
26:50I feel sorry for you.
26:51Come to the wedding, whoa.
26:52I put my phone in my pocket.
26:54Nanny Sarah, there are flowers over there.
26:57Want to go see?
26:57He nodded.
26:58I led him over.
26:59He crouched in front of the rose bushes, reached out as if to pick one, then pulled back.
27:04He said,
27:05They'll prick.
27:07Yeah.
27:09Beautiful things sometimes sting.
27:11He thought about it.
27:13Then just look.
27:14Don't pick.
27:16I smiled.
27:17You're smarter than most adults.
27:20At that moment, the butler hurried over, his expression tense.
27:25Miss Nguyen, there's someone at the estate gate asking for you.
27:28Who?
27:28A woman says she's your sister.
27:32My smile vanished.
27:33Celeste had tracked me here.
27:35I said to the butler.
27:37I'll go out.
27:38Watch Noah for me.
27:38The butler nodded.
27:40I walked to the main gate of the estate.
27:42Celeste was leaning against that white Porsche, dressed in a designer dress and sunglasses,
27:46which she removed the moment she spotted me.
27:49Little sister!
27:50I finally found you!
27:52How did you find this place?
27:54Dad told me.
27:55He said you're working as a nanny at Lakeview Manor.
27:59Steven Wind.
28:00I should have only told my mother the address.
28:03What do you want?
28:04To see you, of course.
28:06This place is pretty impressive.
28:09Who's your employer?
28:10Someone with deep pockets.
28:12None of your business.
28:15Don't be like that.
28:17Sis, I genuinely want you as my maid of honor.
28:20Think about it.
28:21You show up, and the wedding's packed with Northport's elite.
28:25Could even find you a decent man.
28:27Way better than slaving away as a nanny, right?
28:30Celeste, what do you actually want?
28:33I just want you to come.
28:34Not happening.
28:35You can leave now.
28:36Her smile thinned.
28:37Serena, don't make this harder than it needs to be.
28:40Dad already told you, if you don't come, your mother's surgery.
28:45I've covered my mother's surgery myself.
28:47What exactly are you threatening me with?
28:50Where did you get the money?
28:51My salary.
28:53How much can a nanny possibly make?
28:55More than the man you stole gives you.
28:57Serena?
28:58What's that supposed to mean?
29:00You know exactly what it means.
29:01My wedding home, my wedding dress, my fiancé.
29:04When you took them one by one, did you ever stop to ask what it meant?
29:08Zack chose me!
29:10Then why are you here bothering me?
29:12Guilty conscience?
29:13Celeste's chest heaved.
29:15Serena, don't get too proud!
29:17You think working as a nanny makes you something?
29:19You're just a servant!
29:21Better a servant than a thief.
29:26A voice came from inside the gate.
29:28Miss Wynne, may I ask who you are?
29:32This is the Carrington private residence.
29:34Trespassers are not permitted.
29:35I'm Serena's sister.
29:37The Carrington house only recognizes Miss Serena Wynne.
29:40If you do not have an appointment, please leave.
29:42He pressed his earpiece.
29:43Security, we have a disturbance at the main gate.
29:46Serena!
29:47You're having a servant's butler throw me out?
29:50Celeste's face went completely green.
29:52I turned and walked back into the estate without looking back.
29:55Serena!
29:56Mark my words!
29:57If you don't show up at the wedding,
29:59I'll make sure everyone in Northport knows you're nothing but a pathetic cast-off!
30:03The butler closed the main gate.
30:05Her voice was cut off outside.
30:07Miss Wynne, should I inform Mr. Carrington if this person returns?
30:10I said,
30:11No need to trouble Mr. Carrington.
30:13She can't make any real waves.
30:15The butler nodded.
30:16What I didn't know was that the estate's surveillance system was networked.
30:20Lucian Carrington, in his office at the company, had already watched the entire thing.
30:25When he came home that night, he said nothing.
30:28He simply handed me a warm glass of milk after I finished Noah's bedtime story.
30:32Drink this and get some rest.
30:33Then he went upstairs.
30:35I stood in the hallway holding the milk.
30:37This man was different.
30:38So cold, but cold in a way that felt warm.
30:40What a contradiction.
30:42Two more days passed.
30:44Zach called.
30:45Serena, are you working as a nanny at Lakeview Manor for Lucian Carrington?
30:48How do you know that?
30:49Celeste looked it up.
30:50Lucius Carrington, CEO of Carrington Group.
30:52Serena, you've got some nerve.
30:54Working as a nanny for the richest man in Northport.
30:57What business is it of yours?
30:59It is my business.
31:01Serena, I warn you.
31:02A man like Lucian Carrington is not someone you can climb up to.
31:05Just do your job and don't get any ideas.
31:09What ideas?
31:10Don't play dumb.
31:1150,000 a month?
31:12What do you think he's paying you for?
31:13I laughed.
31:14Zach, are you jealous or just pathetic?
31:16When you broke up with me, you made it very clear we were done.
31:19Now you're meddling in where I work and who I work for?
31:22I'm trying to warn you.
31:23Save your concern for your bride.
31:25I don't need it.
31:27I hung up.
31:31Five minutes later, Celeste called.
31:36Serena, stay away from Lucian Carrington.
31:38You have no say in this.
31:39Lucian Carrington is Northport's most eligible bachelor.
31:42A nanny like you don't even dream-
31:44Worried your husband doesn't measure up to my employer?
31:46Three seconds of dead silence.
31:48Serena, just wait.
31:49You'll get what's coming to you.
31:51She hung up.
31:52I blocked her number, but that wasn't the end of it.
31:55Day 13.
31:56I took Noah to the mall to buy colored pencils.
31:58The butler drove us to the largest mall in Northport.
32:00Noah held my hand and spent ages in the art supply section
32:03before finally selecting a 48-color pencil set.
32:06Serena, look at these!
32:07As we were checking out, a voice came from behind.
32:09Well, well.
32:11Isn't that Serena when?
32:12I turned.
32:13Victoria Crane, Celeste's best friend.
32:16Serena!
32:17Long time no see.
32:19Whose kid is this?
32:21None of your concern.
32:23Wow.
32:24Still got that attitude.
32:26Victoria smiled.
32:27Celeste told me you're working as a nanny now.
32:31A Northfield University grad.
32:35Babysitting.
32:36A few glances turned our way.
32:38Is there a problem?
32:39Not at all.
32:40Just seems like such a waste.
32:41You used to be the acclaimed prodigy of our circle.
32:44Now look at you.
32:46Better than ending up as someone who steals other people's fiancés.
32:51Victoria's smile froze.
32:53What's that supposed to mean?
32:55Nothing.
32:55I took Noah's hand and started to leave.
32:58Stop right there!
32:59Serena, you think you're still the old Serena?
33:01You're just a nanny now!
33:02What gives you the right to act superior in front of me?
33:04Victoria's voice rose.
33:05I looked back at Victoria.
33:07Noah looked up at me and tightened his grip on my hand.
33:09What's wrong with being a nanny?
33:11A nanny is a servant!
33:13I earn my own living and support my family.
33:15That makes me a servant.
33:16So what do you call women who rely on men's money for handbags?
33:20Every single one of their faces change color.
33:23You!
33:26Miss Wynn.
33:27A voice came from the side.
33:29A man in a black suit was striding toward us.
33:31Around 30, sharp and efficient.
33:33I recognized him.
33:34Lucian Carrington's personal assistant.
33:37Aiden?
33:37Mr. Carrington sent me to pick up you and the young master.
33:40He glanced at Victoria and her group.
33:41Is there a problem?
33:42Victoria saw the ID badge on Aiden's wrist.
33:45Huo.
33:47Carrington Group.
33:47Her face shifted.
33:49Carrington, you work for Carrington Group?
33:52Carrington?
33:53Miss Wynn.
33:54The car is downstairs.
33:55This way, please.
33:56I nodded and led Noah away with him.
33:58Behind us came Victoria's lowered voice.
34:01She's working as a nanny for the Carringtons?
34:04Carrington, the Carringtons?
34:05It can't be.
34:06Lucian Carrington, can it?
34:08No way.
34:09A man like Lucian Carrington wouldn't like to send a nanny.
34:12In the car, Aiden said,
34:14Miss Wynn.
34:15Mr. Carrington asked me to tell you
34:16if anyone gives you trouble, you can contact me directly.
34:19He handed me a business card.
34:20Thank you.
34:22Mr. Carrington's orders.
34:23He added.
34:25I stared out the window.
34:26How did Lucian know I was being harassed at the mall?
34:29Whenever an estate vehicle goes out,
34:31Mr. Carrington has me remotely track the route.
34:33Security measure.
34:35Security measure.
34:37Aiden seemed to read my thoughts.
34:41Right.
34:44Back at the estate,
34:46Noah bolted upstairs with his new colored pencils.
34:48I stood on the first floor about to head up myself
34:51when my phone buzzed with a text.
34:53Unknown number.
34:55Serena,
34:56Celeste asked me to tell you.
34:58At the wedding,
34:59she's going to publicly announce that you were fired.
35:01She's already contacted your old clinic colleagues.
35:04Everyone in Northport will know you were kicked out by your advisor
35:07and dumped by your fiancé.
35:08If you don't want the humiliation,
35:10show up and be the maid of honor.
35:12Zach.
35:13I read it
35:14and calmly deleted it.
35:16Not because I wasn't angry.
35:17Because wasting emotion on people like that wasn't worth it.
35:21But I knew this wasn't going to end easily.
35:23Celeste wasn't the type to let things go.
35:26She'd been this way since we were kids.
35:28If I had something good,
35:29she had to take it.
35:30If she couldn't take it,
35:31she'd destroy it.
35:32That night,
35:33I stood on the second floor balcony,
35:35looking out at the lake.
35:36Moonlight painted silver ripples across the dark water.
35:39Somewhere in the distance,
35:41an owl called twice and fell silent.
35:43It was peaceful here.
35:44Almost too peaceful.
35:46I thought about the past two weeks.
35:48About a boy who wouldn't speak.
35:49Who now said my name like it was the most natural word in the world.
35:53About a man carved from ice
35:54who left pieces of candy in empty glasses.
35:57About three paper rabbits on a windowsill.
35:59One with a crooked ear.
36:01One with a carefully folded tail.
36:03One impossibly small.
36:04That somehow carried more meaning
36:06than all the wedding invitations gathering dust in some landfill.
36:10Fourteen days ago,
36:11I'd been crouched in a hospital hallway with $300 to my name,
36:14and the world had felt like a closing fist.
36:17Now I was standing on a balcony overlooking a lake,
36:19and for the first time in months,
36:21I could breathe.
36:21A creek came from behind me.
36:23I turned.
36:24Noah stood in his doorway,
36:26pajama clad.
36:27The gray rabbit pressed against his chest.
36:30Can't sleep?
36:31He shook his head.
36:31I slid down to sit on the balcony floor.
36:34After a moment,
36:35Noah patted over and sat beside me,
36:37close enough that his shoulder touched my arm.
36:40Bad dream?
36:41He nodded.
36:42Want to tell me about it?
36:44Silence stretched.
36:45The owl called again somewhere in the dark.
36:48She was in it.
36:49My arm tightened around him.
36:51He meant Lydia.
36:53What happened in the dream?
36:55She came back.
36:56She picked me up and took me away.
37:00And you weren't there.
37:01And Daddy wasn't there.
37:04And I was...
37:06Alone.
37:07I shifted so I could face him directly.
37:09His sapphire eyes were completely unguarded now.
37:13Terrified.
37:15Noah.
37:16I took both his hands in mine.
37:18That was just a dream.
37:20You are not alone.
37:22You will never be alone again.
37:24Nami Sarah is here.
37:26Daddy is here.
37:27The butler is here.
37:29Everyone in this house is here.
37:31Do you understand me?
37:33He stared at me for one heartbeat.
37:35Two.
37:35Then he nodded and crawled into my lap,
37:38pressing his face against my shoulder.
37:40We sat like that until his breathing slowed.
37:42Until his body went heavy with sleep.
37:45I carried him back to bed,
37:47tucked the rabbit under his arm,
37:48pushed the hair from his forehead.
37:50He stirred,
37:51murmuring something unintelligible,
37:53and his fingers found the edge of my sleeve
37:55and held on.
37:56I waited until his grip relaxed.
37:58Then I slipped out
38:00and closed the door with barely a sound.
38:02When I turned around,
38:03Lucian was standing at the end of the hallway.
38:05He must have come down from the third floor at some point.
38:08I had no idea how long he'd been there.
38:11His expression was unreadable,
38:12but there was something about the way he stood,
38:15completely motionless.
38:16Neither of us spoke.
38:18Then he pushed off the wall and walked toward me.
38:21He had a nightmare.
38:23I heard.
38:24He dreamed about her.
38:26About Lydia.
38:27A muscle in his jaw pulsed.
38:29I thought her visitation rights were revoked.
38:32They were.
38:33But she's filed a new motion.
38:35Her lawyer is claiming she's been through rehabilitation,
38:38counseling,
38:39the works.
38:40When did you find out?
38:42This morning.
38:43That explained his earlier tension.
38:45The third glass of wine he'd poured and barely touched.
38:48Is she going to get them back?
38:50He was quiet for a moment.
38:52No.
38:53One syllable.
38:54Absolute.
38:55But there was something else underneath it.
38:57A tension I couldn't quite name.
39:00Lucian.
39:01If she comes here again,
39:04Noah can't see her.
39:05He can't.
39:07You didn't see him tonight.
39:09He was shaking so hard he could barely speak.
39:12I know.
39:15Then why does she still have the power to do this?
39:19Why can she keep filing motions,
39:21sending lawyers and...
39:24Because she's his mother.
39:27Because the courts believe in second chances.
39:30Because every time I block her,
39:34she finds another angle.
39:36Because...
39:37He stopped.
39:38His fist was clenched at his side,
39:40white-knuckled.
39:41I'd never seen him lose control before.
39:43Not once.
39:44Not when his ex-wife screamed at him in his own foyer.
39:46Not when reporters camped at his gate.
39:48But right now, standing in this dark hallway.
39:51The man who could buy and sell entire city blocks without blinking.
39:55Looks like he was holding back a flood with his bare hands.
39:58Because I can't protect him from everything.
40:02No matter how much I want to.
40:04He looked at Noah's closed door.
40:06When she left him at that mall.
40:10Six months.
40:11She put him in a stroller and walked away and didn't come back.
40:15Didn't come back for three hours.
40:18Security found him crying.
40:20Dehydrated.
40:21Alone in the middle of the food pocket.
40:24I was in a board meeting when they called.
40:29I made it there in 12 minutes.
40:32Fastest I've ever driven in my life.
40:35But it was already too late.
40:36Something broke in him that day.
40:39He stopped trying to speak.
40:42Stopped reaching for people.
40:43Stopped crying when he was hurt.
40:46So you built walls.
40:49Around him.
40:51Around yourself.
40:53He looked at me.
40:54Something flickered in his eyes.
40:56Yes.
40:58And then I walked in and started putting blocks on his castle.
41:01The corner of his mouth moved.
41:03Not quite a smile, but close.
41:05You didn't just put blocks on his castle.
41:09I didn't listen to Danith Rafe.
41:12You sat beside him and waited.
41:13You didn't force him.
41:15You didn't perform for him.
41:17You just...
41:18stayed.
41:20Anyone could have done that.
41:22No.
41:23Eight people tried.
41:26You're the only one who succeeded.
41:29Serena.
41:32Yes.
41:33The road ahead, it's going to get harder before it gets easier.
41:36Lydia won't stop.
41:38Your sister won't stop.
41:39Whatever peace we've found here, it's temporary.
41:41I know.
41:42You could leave.
41:43No one would blame you.
41:45This isn't your fight.
41:46I thought about my mother in her hospital bed.
41:49Thinner every time I visited.
41:50I thought about Celeste's designer dress and Zach's Porsche and the wedding invitation with my name printed on it.
41:56I thought about Stephen Wynn's voice on the phone.
41:59Half plea, half threat.
42:01And the $50,000 he'd taken to destroy my future.
42:04And then I thought about a little boy who had drawn two crooked words on a piece of paper.
42:08Nanny Sarah.
42:11You're wrong.
42:12He looked at me.
42:13This is exactly my fight.
42:16Because for the first time in years, I have something worth fighting for.
42:22Lucian Carrington stared at me like I was a puzzle he couldn't quite solve.
42:25Like he'd spent his entire adult life categorizing the world into threats and assets and liabilities.
42:31And I refused to fit into any of his columns.
42:34I turned and walked toward my room.
42:36Serena.
42:37I stopped.
42:39The storm that's coming.
42:42It's not just Lydia.
42:44And it's not just your family.
42:46There are things you don't know yet.
42:49Things about my past.
42:51About this house.
42:53About why Noah is the way he is.
42:56I turned back to face him.
42:59Then tell me.
43:01Not tonight.
43:02His voice was barely audible.
43:05But soon.
43:06I promise.
43:08He turned and walked toward the staircase that led to the third floor.
43:12The floor no one was allowed to enter.
43:14Thank you.
43:15For tonight.
43:16For Noah.
43:18Before I could answer, he was gone.
43:20His footsteps faded up the stairs.
43:22And somewhere out in the darkness beyond the lake.
43:25Beyond the estate gates.
43:26Beyond the tree-lined drive.
43:28Lydia with her lawyers.
43:29Celeste with her wedding.
43:31Zach with his wounded pride.
43:33Steven with his gambling debts and his guilty conscience.
43:36They were all coming.
43:36I could feel it in the air.
43:38That electric stillness before a storm breaks.
43:41But I looked at the door where Noah slept.
43:43And I remembered the weight of his small body against my shoulder.
43:47I remembered two crooked words on a piece of paper.
43:50I remembered three paper rabbits on a windowsill.
43:53And I wasn't afraid anymore.
43:55Whatever was coming.
43:56Let it come.
43:57I was exactly where I was supposed to be.
44:00I was like, oh my God.
44:00I was like, oh my God.
44:00I was like, oh my God.
44:00I was like, oh my God.
44:00I was like, oh my God.
44:00Gracias por ver el video.
