FunTranscript
00:00On the third day after our daughter was born, I asked Nathan for money for formula, but he brought me
00:05several mystery boxes instead.
00:07Pick one.
00:08For three years of marriage, I'd lived on money drawn from those boxes, never more than $108 at a time.
00:15Just because at our engagement party, Dad suddenly brought out several mystery boxes and smiled.
00:20Let's make this fun. Pick one and pay the amount inside or the wedding's off.
00:24Even more surprising, Nathan drew $18,880,000, but he paid the full amount and even gave me a wedding
00:31the whole city talked about.
00:32Everyone said he was madly in love with me, but the day after our wedding, he slammed many mystery boxes
00:37down in front of me.
00:38Your family loves this game, huh? From now on, these boxes decide your allowance.
00:42For three years, sometimes I got $9.90, sometimes $108.
00:47When I got pregnant, I thought things would change once the baby came.
00:50But now, all I wanted was a can of formula for our daughter, yet the mystery boxes sat as usual,
00:55still just $9.90 inside.
00:57A moment later, my sister Lily, who just had a baby too, posted a screenshot of a $990,000 transfer.
01:03Thanks to my sister's husband for the baby's welcome gift.
01:06I stared at the picture for a long time, then called someone overseas.
01:09Didn't you say you'd be willing to be my baby's dad? Come get me in seven days.
01:13As I opened the box, a nurse leaned over, curious.
01:17Wow, a gift from your husband? That's so thoughtful.
01:19Then she saw allowance, $9.990 on the slip.
01:23Nathan told his assistant to take the other boxes away.
01:25Having a baby doesn't change the rules.
01:29The nurse probably wanted to ask what rule made a new mom pick a box with just $90.90.
01:35But how could I explain?
01:36At my engagement party, my parents insisted he choose mystery boxes and pay the huge sum to fund my sister's
01:43wedding and house.
01:44When I confronted them, mom clutched her chest.
01:47Tell Nathan, and I'll jump off this building.
01:50And since then, no company dared hire me under pressure from Nathan.
01:54So I lived on whatever I drew from those mystery boxes.
01:58I looked down at my daughter beside me.
02:02Nathan, can I buy a temperature-regulating sleep sack?
02:05Newborn's body temperatures fluctuate.
02:07Using the baby to get money out of me?
02:08The hospital has blankets.
02:11The door closed.
02:12The nurse suddenly turned and left, then came back with a small blanket.
02:18It's a clean spare from the nurse's station, so you can cover her with it for now.
02:24Your husband, maybe he just doesn't know how to show he cares.
02:28That evening, I saw Lily post a picture of a VIP nursery with a full set of imported baby supplies.
02:34He says only the best will do for the baby.
02:39I stared at the post for a long time.
02:41I suddenly remembered what Nathan had said years ago.
02:44If we have a girl, I'll spoil her and make her the happiest little princess in the world.
02:49Now that princess seemed to be someone else's child.
02:52I folded the 9990 slip and put it in my wallet.
02:55The old 6660 and 5.30 slips were still in my wallet.
02:59Nathan stood in the doorway, though I hadn't noticed him come back.
03:02Take care of the baby instead of always trying to get money out of me.
03:06He made a call in the hall.
03:09You lost.
03:10She didn't make a scene.
03:14A gold digger wouldn't give up being Mrs. Cole, especially now that she's had a baby.
03:19My phone suddenly rang and I picked up.
03:23The flight's booked.
03:24See you in seven days.
03:26Emma, wait for me.
03:28Okay.
03:29The day we left the hospital, I packed early.
03:32My daughter wore her only new outfit, a gift from my bestie Megan.
03:36I sat on the edge of the bed, holding her, waiting for Nathan.
03:40But all I got was a text.
03:42The driver will pick you up.
03:43I'm with Lily.
03:45She's leaving the hospital today, too, and there's no one to help.
03:48It wasn't right, but it wasn't a surprise.
03:50Since my sister became a widow, he'd helped her plenty.
03:53I stared at the screen for a few seconds, then closed the chat without replying.
03:58The driver was on time, and the car was clean.
04:02My daughter fussed in my arms, and it was time to feed her.
04:06I took out her bottle, and the driver glanced in the rearview mirror.
04:09I'm sorry, Mrs. Cole.
04:10Mr. Cole said no eating in the car.
04:13I'm just feeding her.
04:14I won't get the car dirty.
04:15But Mr. Cole said, please don't put us in a difficult position.
04:18I paused, put the betel back in my bag, and held my daughter a little tighter.
04:26I gently patted her back the whole way home.
04:30Once home, I checked my phone and saw a short video Lily had posted.
04:33She sat beside Nathan in the passenger seat, a box of cherries in front of her,
04:37popping them into her mouth one by one.
04:39My parents sat in the back, Mom bottle-feeding Lily's baby
04:42while Dad held a small towel under the baby's chin.
04:45Their family was complete.
04:48I swiped past the video.
04:52That afternoon, the doorbell rang.
04:54Lily stood outside, holding her baby.
04:56Emma, why is this crib so old?
04:58Isn't your husband rich?
05:00She pulled a bag from hers and handed it to me.
05:02My baby outgrew these clothes, Emma, but don't let that put you off.
05:05The fabric's really nice.
05:06Nathan bought them all at several thousand dollars each.
05:08Emma, why is your baby so skinny?
05:11I took the bag and forced out a thank you.
05:13Then I closed the door and threw it in the trash.
05:16That evening, Megan called.
05:18I saw Lily's video.
05:19I'm so pissed.
05:19She's doing it on purpose.
05:21And Nathan, you lost so much blood giving birth.
05:22How could he treat you like this?
05:23Don't put up with this.
05:25Tell me what the baby needs.
05:26I'll buy it.
05:27Thanks, Megan.
05:27You don't have to thank me.
05:28You come first.
05:30After the call, I started packing.
05:31I packed a few of our clothes and our documents into a small bag and pushed it to the back
05:35of the closet.
05:36I hadn't noticed Nathan come home.
05:39If you want money for clothes, just ask instead of playing the victim.
05:42He came over and suddenly wrapped his arms around me from behind.
05:46I smelled alcohol on him.
05:48Emma, stop making a fuss.
05:50For a moment, I was back years ago when he'd held me just like this.
05:53I'd gotten soaked in the rain and had a high fever, and he'd driven all night from out
05:57of town to get back to me.
05:58Never wait out the rain alone again.
05:59But now I only got that same warm hug because he was drunk.
06:03Hadn't even come to take me and our baby home from the hospital.
06:06I'm not making a fuss.
06:07At 3 in the morning, my daughter cried.
06:09I picked her up to nurse, but she cried after sucking a few times because there wasn't enough
06:13milk.
06:14I searched every cupboard, but there was no formula.
06:17I checked my phone.
06:18Account balance, $9.90.
06:20She kept crying from 3 a.m. to 4 a.m.
06:23I carried her around the living room, back and forth, over and over.
06:27Nathan slept smout welly behind the closed master bedroom door.
06:32Mommy's sorry, baby.
06:33Just a few more days, and I'll get you out of here, I promise.
06:39Before I could get her out of there, my daughter's fever hit 103.6 Fahrenheit.
06:44I rushed into the ER with her, checked in, and waited.
06:52The doctor took off his stethoscope and frowned.
06:55She's malnourished and severely underweight.
06:58Her immune system is too weak.
07:00This is dangerous for a newborn.
07:02What kind of parents are you?
07:03I opened my mouth, but couldn't tell him that we had $9.90 a month to live on.
07:11I called Nathan, and he actually came.
07:13I felt a flicker of hope.
07:15For the first time in three years of marriage, I begged him.
07:18Our baby needs special formula and supplements.
07:21Can you stop making me draw mystery boxes and give me a regular allowance?
07:26He pulled a card from his pocket and tossed it at me.
07:29There's $2,000 on it.
07:30That's enough.
07:32It's not.
07:33The doctor said she needs follow-up tests, and...
07:36Emma, 18,880,000 couldn't satisfy you, and now $2,000 isn't enough?
07:41Why didn't you think of this when you used those mystery boxes to rip me off?
07:45I didn't set up those boxes.
07:47With it my daughter's sake, Ojoni looted it out.
07:49My parents did it behind my back to pay for Lily's wedding in a house!
07:52I had nothing to do with it!
07:55Emma, you'll tell any lie for money.
07:57First you lied about the baby being sick.
07:59Now you're making up another story?
08:00Don't think having a baby gives you leverage.
08:02Is she even sick?
08:03You think I don't know what you're up to?
08:04Then his phone rang.
08:09You're here?
08:10Which room?
08:11I'll be right there.
08:12He hung up and walked away without even looking at me.
08:15So he hadn't come to the hospital for me or our daughter at all.
08:18He was there for Lily's baby's checkup.
08:20I stood in the hall, holding my screaming baby, watching him disappear around the corner.
08:25I held the baby, went out the hospital, and ran into Lily.
08:30Emma?
08:31Her chubby baby wore a designer onesie.
08:34She took a can of formula from the diaper bag of the nanny beside her and handed it to me.
08:39My baby can't finish it all.
08:40You can have this.
08:42Nathan felt sorry for us.
08:43He bought a whole hundred cases.
08:45I looked at the formula and $1,800 a can.
08:48My daughter's entire monthly allowance couldn't buy one scoop of her baby's formula.
08:52I clenched my fist and accepted her charity.
08:54That evening, I called Mom.
08:56Mom, the baby needs to be admitted.
08:59Can you lend me some money?
09:01Your sister just had a baby too.
09:03She needs money.
09:05Ask your husband.
09:06Mom, enough.
09:07Stop calling all the time.
09:08Your sister's still recovering.
09:10You're disturbing her.
09:11She hung up.
09:12Late that night, I fell asleep on the couch, holding my daughter.
09:16At some point, someone covered me with a blanket.
09:19Half asleep, I saw AppPyption4 bend over.
09:21But the next morning, more mystery boxes sat on the dining table.
09:26Pick one.
09:26Nathan, I'm tired.
09:28I'm not picking any more mystery boxes.
09:30What new trick is this to get money?
09:32Last time you said the baby was sick.
09:33What are you faking this time?
09:36I didn't answer and turned to make my daughter a bottle with the formula AppPicture7 had given me as charity.
09:43My phone buzzed in my pocket.
09:45It's Megan texting me.
09:47Emma, there's something I'm not sure I should tell you.
09:50My daughter started crying again in the living room.
09:56I checked the number on the thermometer.
09:58104.2 Fahrenheit.
10:00I turned off my phone, picked up my baby, and rushed out.
10:07Outside the ER, I called Nathan from the hall.
10:10He didn't answer the first call.
10:11My hands shook so badly, I could barely hold my phone.
10:13I'd lost count when he finally answered.
10:15What's wrong?
10:16They're trying to save our baby.
10:18She has a fever.
10:18The doctor says she needs surgery now.
10:21I have no money.
10:21Hey, Nathan, come pay for it.
10:23How much?
10:24The doctor said at least $8,000.
10:27Emma, same old shit.
10:29Last time, $2,000 wasn't enough.
10:31Now you want four times that?
10:33Nathan, I'm begging you.
10:34They really are trying to save her.
10:36The doctor says they can't operate unless I pay now.
10:38Please, I'm begging you.
10:39I'll be right there.
10:40I leaned against the wall and waited an hour.
10:42He never appeared at the end of the hall.
10:44I called again, but his phone was off.
10:46Later, I found out Lily had called before he left.
10:48Nathan, the baby won't stop coughing.
10:50I'm so scared.
10:52He hesitated, then went to her first.
10:55When he arrived, he found the baby had just choked on some milk and was fine.
10:59But Lily held his sleeve.
11:01I'm scared.
11:02Please stay a little longer.
11:03He reached the door, then went back.
11:05Meanwhile, the nurse rushed out for the third time to ask for payment.
11:08Ma'am, your baby's critical.
11:09If you don't pay now, it'll be too late.
11:10I knelt at the payment window and pulled out everything I had.
11:12Too late.
11:13The emergency room doors opened.
11:15She was malnourished.
11:16Her immune system was too weak.
11:17Complications from the fever.
11:19If she'd had surgery in time, she might have had a chance.
11:21We did everything we could.
11:22The nurse carried my daughter out and handed her to me.
11:24Her hand was still clenched, just as it had been around my finger that night.
11:27The nurse patted my back sympathetically and handed me a form to sign.
11:30I didn't know how I'd manage to sign it.
11:31$8,000.
11:32Just the price of one of Lily's baby's outfits.
11:33It had cost my baby her life.
11:35This time, I didn't call anyone.
11:36Nathan's text came afterward.
11:37The baby's fine now, right?
11:38Stop blowing up my phone.
11:39I'm busy.
11:40I didn't reply.
11:40A little later, another message came.
11:41Sulking again?
11:42Last time $2,000 wasn't enough.
11:43Now you're using the baby's illness as leverage again.
11:45Emma, can't you find a new trick?
11:46He still thought I was playing games for money.
11:48I closed the chat and called my lawyer.
11:49Rachel, I want a divorce.
11:51Miss Bennett, there's no marriage record for you and Mr. Cole.
11:54What do you mean?
11:55Mr. Cole's legal spouse is listed as Lily.
11:59I held the phone in silence for a long time before saying,
12:03I see.
12:05Then I remembered Megan's message, the one I hadn't finished reading.
12:08I opened it and found several screenshots.
12:11A group chat called family with dad, mom, Lily, Nathan, and Megan.
12:16The latest message was a birth certificate Lily had posted.
12:20Father, Nathan Cole.
12:23So cute.
12:24Looks just like daddy.
12:25You did great, Lily.
12:27Congrats, congrats.
12:28Nathan transferred $990,000.
12:32I opened another screenshot, a chat between Lily and Megan.
12:36Megan, my sister came crying to you again today, right?
12:40Yeah.
12:40I calmed her down like you said.
12:42She didn't suspect a thing.
12:44Thanks for the help.
12:45I'll buy you dinner sometime.
12:46Don't mention it.
12:48Emma's too stubborn.
12:49If she finds out, it'll be trouble.
12:51So every word of Megan had been a lie too.
12:55I turned off my phone and held back my tears.
12:58I stood outside the hospital and it was almost dawn.
13:01I looked down at the swaddle in my arms.
13:03I took the slips I'd saved from three years of mystery boxes out of my wallet, one by one.
13:09I threw them all into a trash can by the road.
13:11Then I walked to the subway station and went to the airport.
13:14Nathan's last message was on the screen, unchecked.
13:17He was probably still waiting for me to beg.
13:19He didn't know there was nothing left to beg for.
13:22The seven days were up.
13:23Three days later.
13:26Tell that gold digger she won't have to draw mystery boxes starting next month.
13:31I'll give her a regular allowance.
13:33She can stop trying to make me chase her.
13:36Miss Bennett was discharged three days ago.
13:39What about the baby?
13:40Mr. Cole, we couldn't save the baby three days ago.
13:44She died.
13:48Nathan froze, staring at the screen after the call ended.
13:53But a second later, he laughed and called his assistant.
13:56Find out what's really going on with the baby.
14:00Probably another trick to get money out of me.
14:03She paid the nurse to play along and forced me to pay.
14:06Check everything.
14:08Let's see how much she's trying to squeeze out of me this time.
14:11He was halfway through the cigarette when his assistant called back.
14:15Mr. Cole, the baby.
14:18She's really gone.
14:19They couldn't save her three days ago.
14:21Your wife signed the death certificate herself.
14:24What?
14:25Complications from a high fever.
14:27She needed emergency surgery, but the money never came.
14:30For a long time, the only sound in the car was the cigarette faintly cracking as it burned down to
14:34the filter.
14:35Nathan put it out.
14:36She's getting better at this.
14:39She even got a death certificate.
14:42A gold digger really will do anything for money.
14:48Mr. Cole, I checked.
14:50It's real.
14:51Enough.
14:53Nathan started the car.
14:55Back home.
14:56There was an empty space in the shoe cabinet by the door, where the flats Emma'd worn for three years
15:01used to be.
15:02He opened the bedroom closet.
15:05All her clothes were gone.
15:07He opened the bottom drawer.
15:09And the baby's things were gone too.
15:10The old clothes.
15:11The nurse's small blanket.
15:13The onesie Megan had given her.
15:14All gone.
15:15Only an empty diaper bag remained at the back of the closet.
15:19Unzipped.
15:19Nothing inside.
15:22Then he remembered coming home that night to find her crowd by the closet.
15:26Packing.
15:27He'd accused her of playing the victim.
15:29She hadn't turned around.
15:30He went to the living room.
15:32The second-hand crib was still in the corner.
15:34He didn't know where she'd found it, but she'd put it together herself, even leaving the screws crooked.
15:40Nathan stood beside the crib, hands in his pockets.
15:43He took out his phone and texted Emma.
15:46Come home when you're done with this act.
15:48Then he called, but no one answered.
15:50The phone was off.
15:52He sent another message.
15:54How much do you want?
15:55Name a number.
15:58He hit send, and a red exclamation mark appeared.
16:05At this time of night, the baby should have been crying.
16:08Emma would carry her around the living room, back and forth, over and over.
16:13He could hear it through the closed door every time.
16:15He leaned back, feeling a hollow space in his chest.
16:19He closed his eyes, and an image flashed through his mind.
16:24Emma had put a small star sticker over the chipped paint on the crib rail.
16:29The sticker was still there, but the crib was empty.
16:32Outside the airport, I pushed my luggage cart out into the 86-degree heat.
16:35The sun was so bright I could barely open my eyes.
16:38Owen Hayes in a clean white shirt stood at the pickup area.
16:41The car's this way.
16:42Then he reached out and took it without asking anything.
16:46Owen led the way, and once we were in the car, the air conditioning hit my face, and I suddenly
16:51felt cold.
16:53He took a jacket from the back seat and handed it to me.
16:58Put this on for now.
17:00We'd been driving a while when I spoke.
17:02Owen?
17:03Yeah.
17:06My baby's gone.
17:12I know.
17:22I checked.
17:23Emma, I almost flew straight over that day.
17:27But you asked me to wait seven days, so I waited seven days.
17:31I said nothing more.
17:35That same day, Nathan's office door was locked from inside.
17:39His assistant stood outside,
17:40hearing glass shatter again and again.
17:48Once it was quiet, Nathan called his butler, Arthur.
17:54I told you to transfer $10,000 to her account every month.
17:58Did you?
18:01Mr. Cole?
18:02Did you?
18:06No.
18:11Three years.
18:13Not once.
18:14I saw how you treated her, and Miss Lily was always visiting, so I thought...
18:19You thought what?
18:20I thought you'd replace her sooner or later so the money would be wasted.
18:24Mr. Cole, I was only trying to save you money.
18:27Three years, she really had lived for three years on a few dollars a month and what little
18:30savings she'd had.
18:31He remembered hearing her carry the baby around the living room that night.
18:34He'd kept his door closed, rolled over, and gone back to sleep.
18:38He remembered her calling over a dozen times, begging him to pay for surgery.
18:42He'd gone to Lily first, because he'd thought Emma was playing games.
18:48He remembered her crouching by the closet, packing, and accusing her of playing the victim.
18:54She'd only said five words.
18:57I'm not making a fuss.
19:04Nathan's assistant knocked and came in with a diary.
19:08Mr. Cole, the cleaner found this under the mattress.
19:11He opened it to the first page.
19:12The formula's almost gone.
19:14Two days left.
19:15I'll save my food, soak it soft, and feed it to her.
19:17Drew $9,990 today.
19:19My savings from before the wedding are almost gone, too, but they're dirt not enough.
19:22I'll use towels at night.
19:23The baby cried all night again.
19:25I couldn't calm her down.
19:26I was so scared she'd wake him.
19:27He hates crying.
19:28Nathan smiled at Lily's baby today.
19:30I suddenly remembered him saying he'd make his daughter the happiest little princess in
19:34the world.
19:34He did.
19:36Just not our daughter.
19:38If she really were a gold digger, why would she have lived like this for three whole years?
19:44I'm sorry, baby.
19:45Mommy already tried the best.
19:53Nathan sat in his study.
19:55Paper spread before him.
19:56His assistant had gotten three-year-old security footage from their wedding planners.
20:00As the mystery boxes were carried off stays at the engagement party, the camera caught
20:04Emma's face.
20:05She froze and turned to her parents, her lips moving as asking, what's going on?
20:09Her mother grabbed her wrist and held her back.
20:11Nathan paused the video and zoomed in.
20:14He studied Emma's face for a long time.
20:17That shock and confusion couldn't be faked.
20:20The $18,080,000 from the mystery box was transferred out the day it arrived.
20:25Her father received it.
20:27The next day, part went towards the down payment on Lily's house, and the rest went into her
20:31mother's investment account.
20:33What about Emma's account?
20:35Not a cent.
20:39Three years ago, he'd thought she'd helped set him up and humiliated her with those boxes.
20:44And she hadn't received a cent.
20:47Keep digging.
20:49Find out what happened that night.
20:52That night, after paying the amount from the box, he'd gotten drunk and passed out in
20:57a private room at a bar.
20:58He'd always thought he'd made a mistake while blackout drunk.
21:02Until today, when his assistant pulled the bar's receipts and footage.
21:09The camera in the room showed Lily pushing the door open.
21:13She hadn't hesitated, and she'd even brought a key card.
21:1720 minutes earlier, she'd paid a waiter to drug his drink.
21:21Nathan had mistaken her for Emma.
21:24Later, she'd done it again, and gotten pregnant with his child.
21:32Mr. Cole, there's something else.
21:34The registration number on yours and Emma's is fake.
21:37There's no record of it.
21:38The one with Lily is the registered one.
21:43He remembered meeting Lily outside the registry office the day he went to sign the papers.
21:48She'd said Emma couldn't come because something had come up, and had asked her to handle the
21:52paperwork.
21:53He'd been drinking for a whole week and signed without thinking, still in a haze.
21:59He'd thought he was signing a marriage certificate with Emma.
22:02But Lily had put her own name on it.
22:07What about Megan?
22:11What's her connection to Lily?
22:16Three years ago, Megan defaulted on a guaranteed loan and faced a lawsuit.
22:19Lily paid it off with your money on one condition.
22:21Megan had to watch Ebba's every move, weekly reports.
22:24Every time Emma confided in Megan, Lily had the details her phone the next day.
22:27He couldn't imagine that everyone close to Emma had betrayed her, including him.
22:31He suddenly stood and pushed the window open.
22:35Where's Emma?
22:36Where is she?
22:38Flight records show she flew to Hawaii three days ago.
22:40The car that picked her up is registered to Owen Hayes.
22:43Owen Hayes.
22:45Nathan had heard that name.
22:48Twelve years ago, Emma had run into a fire to save someone and been burned, leaving a scar
22:53on her back.
22:55Find her.
22:57Mr. Cole.
22:59Owen Hayes' security.
23:00I said find her!
23:02His assistant said nothing more.
23:07On the desk, the diary lay open to the last page.
23:10Its words faint in the light.
23:14But they weighed on Nathan more than anything, until he couldn't breathe.
23:21The Hawaiian night was quiet.
23:24Nathan stood outside the white apartment building from the early hours until dawn.
23:28The sea breeze was salty and damp, his shirt badly wrinkled.
23:32At seven, the front door opened.
23:34I came out.
23:35I saw him, feeling no surprise or anger.
23:39Go home.
23:41Then I walked around him toward the convenience store across the street.
23:47Emma.
23:51Emma.
23:52I found out about the mystery boxes.
23:54Your parents did it behind your back.
23:56I know now.
23:57I really do.
23:58I found out about Lily, too.
24:00The marriage certificate.
24:02That night, she set it all up.
24:05Emma, look at me!
24:08I finally stopped.
24:10And?
24:12I was wrong.
24:14Yes, you were.
24:15He stood there in the glaring sun, but I never looked back.
24:22The next day, Nathan transferred $1,000 to me.
24:26I sent it back.
24:28The third day, $5,000, sent back.
24:31On the fourth day, he had his assistant deliver a carload of gifts to my building.
24:35That evening, building management cleared it all away.
24:38Ms. Bennett asks that you stop bothering her.
24:41Nathan didn't leave.
24:42He booked a room at the hotel across from my building and waited downstairs every morning for me to come
24:48out.
24:49I wouldn't look at him.
24:53Then one day, it rained.
24:59I left the convenience store under an umbrella, and he stood in his usual spot.
25:04As I passed him, he suddenly spoke.
25:09Emma, I've reported Lily.
25:11I've applied to have the marriage of Alden.
25:14The police have opened a case over her forged documents.
25:18My lawyer's going after your parents for the $18,880,000.
25:23I found out about Megan, too.
25:27None of that has anything to do with me anymore.
25:36Emma, give me a chance.
25:43Please.
25:45Nathan, I called you over a dozen times that night.
25:48Her fever was 104.2.
25:51They were trying to save her in the ER.
25:53The nurse asked for payment three times.
25:55$8,000.
25:56You were at Lily's, staying with her baby over some milk going down the wrong way.
26:00I was kneeling at the payment window with 90-90.
26:03If you'd come even a little late, even an hour late, she wouldn't have died.
26:07Nathan, how are you going to make up for that?
26:09He wanted to speak, but said nothing.
26:13I stood and walked away under my umbrella.
26:16He was left kneeling alone in the rain for a long time.
26:23Nathan came again.
26:24This time, he didn't wait downstairs, but knocked on my door.
26:27Owen's bodyguard stopped him, but I came out.
26:29Let him in.
26:30You want a chance, right?
26:34There are mystery boxes inside, each with a slip saying,
26:37I forgive you or I don't forgive you.
26:39If you get I forgive you, I'll go back with you.
26:44Nathan reached in almost at once.
26:51He didn't stop.
26:53Torn cardboard covered the floor.
26:55Every slip bearing the same four words.
26:59I don't forgive you.
27:08This is how I felt for three years.
27:11Every month, I'd open them, thinking maybe I'd get a little more this time.
27:15Enough for a can of formula.
27:17Enough to take her to the doctor.
27:19Every time, I got nothing close.
27:22But I didn't throw things.
27:23I didn't smash up an office.
27:25I didn't fall apart.
27:27I folded the slips, put them in my wallet, and kept going.
27:31I thought someday you'd understand.
27:36Emma.
27:38You can leave now.
27:39I closed the door.
27:40He sat outside all night.
27:42At dawn, Owen's car came to pick me up.
27:47That same day, the news was everywhere back home.
27:51A formal investigation into Lily's forged marriage documents would began.
27:55And the Cole family business cut all financial ties with the Bennetts.
27:58All of Lily's bank cards were frozen.
28:00The luxury postpartum took out.
28:02Care center kicked her out.
28:03A hundred cases of imported formula, a private driver, black card perks, all gone overnight.
28:14Lily called Nathan over a hundred times.
28:17He finally answered.
28:21Nathan, you can't do this to me.
28:23She's your child, too.
28:25Don't you want her anymore?
28:27You killed my daughter.
28:29That child you're talking about sleeps in a VIP nursery and wears onesies that cost thousands.
28:34She's never gone without anything.
28:36What about my baby?
28:38Lily Bennett, you killed my daughter.
28:40How dare you bring up your child?
28:41The call ended.
28:46That same day, my parents received a lawyer's letter demanding $18,880,000 plus three years of interest.
28:56They rushed to Hawaii and knelt outside my building.
28:59Emma, we were wrong.
29:01Please put in a good word for us with Nathan.
29:03Miss Bennett says she has no parents.
29:06Emma, your mother's sick.
29:08Come down.
29:10Are you really going to watch us lose everything?
29:14You even wouldn't lend me money for my baby's hospital bails and watched her die.
29:20Just ask Lily for help.
29:23I switched off the intercom.
29:25Owen's assistant called security.
29:27In five minutes, the security guards came and dragged them away.
29:35Five years later, spring came early, and Bugandalia covered the balcony wall in blooms.
29:41I sat in a wicker chair, a book I'd barely started open on my lap.
29:45I heard little footsteps behind me.
29:48Mommy, look!
29:51What is it?
29:52Who's the little one?
29:55It's Mommy!
29:59Who's the little one?
30:02My big sister!
30:06Owen came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit and paused when he heard that.
30:11Daddy says I have a big sister in heaven.
30:15When you miss her, you can look at the stars.
30:22Yes, she lives in heaven.
30:25Owen came over without a word, set the fruit beside me, and sat down.
30:30I had more money in my account than I could spend in ten lifetimes.
30:35My closet was full of dresses he'd bought me, my shoe cabinet packed with more pairs than I could wear.
30:41Once, I'd said it was too much, and he'd said it still wasn't enough.
30:46You deserve every good thing.
30:50I held my son's hand as we shopped for shoes, the three-and-a-half-year-old insisting on picking
30:58his own
30:59and squatting by the shelves for agers before Owen went to pay, and I stood nearby waiting.
31:03Out of the corner of my eye, I saw someone stop.
31:06Noticing the stranger's stare, my son shrank behind me and tugged at my clothes.
31:12Mommy.
31:13Owen came over with the shopping bag and glanced at Nathan.
31:15He bent to pick up our son and rested his free hand on my shoulder.
31:19Nathan opened his mouth, but not a word came out.
31:23In his car, Nathan started the engine but didn't drive off.
31:28He took a slip of paper from his suit pocket.
31:30Five years ago, he'd retrieved the slips one by one from the trash can where Emma had thrown them.
31:37The others had fallen apart.
31:39Only this one was still mostly intact.
31:45I left the mall, my son riding on Owen's shoulders, laughing loudly.
31:49Owen carried the shopping bags in one hand and reached for me with the other.
31:52You carry our son.
31:53I'll carry these.
31:56Then who's holding my hand?
32:05Better?
32:07Much.
32:08Daddy, I'm hungry.
32:10What do you feel like eating?
32:12Noodles.
32:13That little place we passed last week.
32:16I booked a seafood restaurant.
32:18Before I could answer, our son yawned and rested his chin on Owen's head.
32:23Still hungry, buddy?
32:27Let's get Noodles to go.
32:28He's falling asleep.
32:31I'll cancel the reservation.
32:35We can go another night.
32:37Just you and me.
32:39Deal.
32:41Mommy.
32:42Mommy.
32:45The most expensive thing in his life.
32:49He could no longer afford it anymore.
32:54Good morning.
32:54Good morning.
32:55You
