00:00Whatever she wished for on her birthday.
00:04Two years ago, he used 99 military drones to spell out,
00:08Kira, I love you across the sky.
00:21Last year, they kissed passionately right in front of me.
00:25I kept telling myself that once the misunderstanding was cleared up,
00:28everything would get better.
00:30That became the reason I held on to our marriage.
00:32Until this year, at Kira's birthday party,
00:35she made a wish in front of everyone.
00:40My birthday wish this year is to marry Adrian.
00:44The room went dead silent.
00:48If Vivian doesn't want to, then forget it.
00:55That's your wish?
00:57Easy.
01:02Just come with me to sign the divorce papers,
01:04and first thing tomorrow morning, we'll remarry.
01:07If you agree, I'll stop blaming you for my sister's death.
01:10I'll even try to love you again.
01:12I never thought he would use reconciliation as a bargaining chip.
01:16My head told me to smile, say yes, and leave him forever.
01:19But the word yes was stuck in my throat,
01:23clinging to one last bit of hope.
01:33The words had barely left my mouth when Kira, who was cutting cake nearby, burst out laughing.
01:39Vivian, come on.
01:41It's just a birthday wish.
01:42If you're jealous, just say so.
01:44There's no need to joke about being pregnant.
02:15She's right, Vivian.
02:15Don't be so petty.
02:16I don't want to joke about the fact that I can't do it.
02:17I don't want to joke about it.
02:17But I think you'd better get used to it.
02:20Then she hooked her arm around Adrian's shoulder and urged,
02:23hurry up.
02:24My birthday only lasts one day, and I don't want to waste it.
02:29Adrian immediately called his lawyer and told him to bring over a divorce agreement as fast as possible.
02:35Ten minutes later, the divorce papers lay in front of me.
02:39Adrian signed in a flash and pressed,
02:41Hurry up.
02:42I still have to get a marriage license with Kira.
02:44My hand trebled as I picked up the pen.
02:47I took a deep breath and signed my name.
02:50The moment I signed my name, our five-year marriage was over.
02:55If this marriage has become a torment for both of us,
02:59then goodbye, Adrian.
03:01I'm letting you go.
03:03I'm letting you go.
03:08Soon, I was the only one left in the house.
03:11I couldn't remember how I made it back to the bedroom.
03:14All I knew was that when I finally came to my senses,
03:17I was already in Lears.
03:21I'm sorry, Lily.
03:23I have to go.
03:26I hope you can forgive me.
03:29I used to be happy with Adrian
03:32until a car accident destroyed everything.
03:35My brother Quentin died on the spot
03:38while protecting his sister, Lily.
03:40Lily was rushed to the hospital where Kira and I worked for emergency treatment.
03:44During the surgery, Kira gave Lily the wrong dose of epinreferrin.
03:48The overdose caused Lily's death.
03:53Kira blamed me for the accident.
03:55Everyone thought Adrian would leave me.
03:57But instead, he married me.
04:02This is what you owe me.
04:11The sound of a message pulled me back from my memories.
04:15It was a video from Kira.
04:19They beamed at the camera, looking like the perfect couple.
04:24While everyone around them cheered for their picture-perfect love,
04:28he had promised to love me for the rest of his life.
04:32To buy me the most expensive ring.
04:34To have fighter jets write my name across the sky.
04:38He did everything he promised, just not for me.
04:42Wake up, Vivian.
04:43He doesn't love you anymore.
04:44To him, your tears are nothing but a burden.
04:54It wasn't until noon that they returned to the mansion.
04:58One look at them and you could tell how wild the party had been.
05:05Just then, Adrian's mother arrived.
05:07She hadn't come back since Lily died.
05:10Kira, I've thought of you as my future daughter-in-law since you were a child.
05:13If only you hadn't gone abroad back then.
05:17Lily wouldn't either.
05:19Mom, it's Kira's birthday.
05:20I'm only granting her wish for a single day.
05:23If only you two were really together.
05:26I pretended not to hear a word and walked straight past them into the bedroom,
05:30packing all my clothes into a suitcase.
05:37Your medical research paper is being published tomorrow.
05:40Kira arranged a celebration dinner for you.
05:42She wants your steak, so go make it for her.
05:46Don't be such a killjay, Vivian.
05:48Kila went out of her way to celebrate you.
05:49What's wrong with making her dinner?
05:52You wouldn't want your paper to get held up tomorrow, would you?
05:56You know this paper could save countless families once it's published.
06:00How could you stoop so low as to use it to threaten me?
06:05I'm sorry, I...
06:10I promise this will be the last time.
06:13Please, I just don't want to disappoint Kira.
06:16Today is her...
06:17Her birthday.
06:18Fine, I'll do it.
06:24I slowly made my way downstairs and found Kira lounging on the living room sofa,
06:29lazily popping grapes into her mouth,
06:32looking every bit the lady of the house.
06:34The second she saw me, she spoke to me, like a servant.
06:38Vivian, since you and Adrian are divorced now,
06:41how can you just stand around doing nothing?
06:44How do you have the nerve to stay in this house?
06:47I pretended not to hear her, rolled up my sleeves, and walked into the kitchen.
06:52The churning in my stomach hadn't let up
06:55when my lower abdomen began cramping in waves.
06:58I pushed through the intense discomfort and worked in the kitchen alone.
07:06Just as I finished preparing everything,
07:09Kira suddenly said,
07:10A new restaurant just opened, and the food looks amazing.
07:14I want to eat there.
07:17Sure.
07:19Let's go there, then.
07:21I'll make a reservation right now.
07:24I'm not hungry.
07:25You all go ahead.
07:26That won't do.
07:27This is supposed to be your celebration dinner.
07:29Come on, stop being difficult.
07:31I was about to respond when a colleague leaned close, holding out a phone.
07:34Vivian, look at this.
07:36My eyes went wide when I saw what was on the screen.
07:42The announcement for Morrow's research presentation had been revised.
07:46My name was gone, replaced by Kira's.
07:50What is this?
07:52Oh, I forgot to tell you.
07:55Kira is up for a metadvary position.
07:58This paper would really help her application, so I changed the author.
08:02I spent three years on this research.
08:04Why should I hand it over to her?
08:07Vivian, don't forget that every piece of medical equipment, every resource for your research came from me.
08:13Without me, you're nothing.
08:16Vivian, I'm sorry.
08:17I really need this position.
08:18If it bothers you, I'll give up the application.
08:22Vivian, don't push it.
08:24Today, Kira is my wife.
08:27Who do you think you are, talking to my wife like that?
08:31Fine, I'll leave.
08:33But before I go, hear me clearly.
08:35Kira killed Lily, not me.
08:38I won't take the blame for something I didn't do.
08:41You have no right to even say Lily's name.
08:45We're divorced now.
08:47Get out of my house.
08:59Outside, wind wild and rain poured down in sheets.
09:03I had no umbrella, not even a proper coat.
09:07The rain blurred my vision until I couldn't tell tears from rainwater.
09:18The sharp cramps tore through my abdomen.
09:20I reached down instinctively and felt a pool of thick, sticky blood.
09:24The color drained from my face.
09:26Before I lost consciousness completely, I managed on instinct to dial Adrian's number.
09:34He arrived in under two minutes.
09:38Under the streetlight, he saw the blood staining the hem of my nightgum, and his breathing turned ragged.
09:44Vivian, Vivian, are you okay?
09:54Babe, it's my birthday today.
09:57Didn't you promise to stay with me?
10:05Save me.
10:07Save our baby.
10:09Save me.
10:20Vivian, I'm sorry.
10:22Today is Kira's birthday.
10:24I promise to spend it married to her.
10:26I'll call an ambulance for you.
10:33Just hang in there.
10:35I'll come check on you soon.
10:39The car window rolled shut without mercy.
10:42I hit the gas and sped away.
10:46The pain was so intense I could barely breathe.
10:50My vision started to blur, and as I watched his silhouette fade into the rain, I shed my very last
10:57tear.
11:02In the final second before I lost consciousness, I heard an urgent shout from my colleague, Dr. Nathan Hayes.
11:09Vivian, are you okay?
11:12Vivian, are you okay?
11:12Hold on.
11:13I'm taking you to the hospital right now.
11:18I couldn't remember anything after that.
11:22All I remembered was hearing a nurse's anxious voice through the fog.
11:35Where is the patient's family?
11:37She's hemorrhaging badly, and her condition is critical.
11:39She needs a blood transfusion now.
11:41Her insurance isn't going through.
11:42Get emergency authorization while we prep the OR.
11:56She's pregnant, but we probably can't save the baby.
11:59Prioritize the mother.
12:10The operating room lights flared on.
12:14I lay on the table like meat on a butcher's block, helpless as cold instruments probed inside me.
12:22I didn't even have the strength to speak.
12:24Only the tears trickling from the corners of my eyes proved I was still alive.
12:32I felt a steering pain, not just in my body, but in my heart.
12:35The moment the baby was taken from my body, something inside me died with it.
12:43Every last trace of devotion I had once felt for Adrian died too.
12:52When I woke again, I felt like an empty shell.
12:56Nathan was at my bedside.
12:58When he saw my eyes open, the tension left his face.
13:05God, Vivian, you're finally awake.
13:08I stared blankly at the ceiling.
13:14I want to see my baby.
13:17Nathan flinched and forced himself to tell me the truth.
13:21The hospital has already disposed of the remains.
13:23The fetus hadn't developed yet.
13:30It was only tissue and blood.
13:34I closed my eyes in agony.
13:38This time, no tears came.
13:40I had none left.
13:52Nathan, your sister is a journalist, isn't she?
13:55Nathan nodded.
13:57She is.
13:58What are you thinking?
14:00I clenched my jaw.
14:04I'm going to make Adrian and Kira pay.
14:08My phone screen lit up.
14:11The clock read 12.01 a.m.
14:14Kira's birthday over.
14:17Adrian had sent a text.
14:25Her wish has been granted.
14:27Tomorrow morning at nine, let's go get Warganity remarried.
14:36I stared at the cold words on the screen, thinking of the baby I had lost.
14:42I blocked his number.
14:44I turned to Nathan.
14:46Nathan, I need your help.
14:48I know you're the medical director here.
14:50Discharge me.
14:51Remove me from the patient directory.
14:53Lock down my chart.
14:55And call your sister.
14:58Also, please send more people to help me find evidence that Kayla deliberately murdered Lily.
15:05I can call my sister.
15:07That's no problem.
15:10But you haven't recovered yet.
15:13I can't discharge you now.
15:22I struggled to sit up, and Nathan rushed to stebly me.
15:28We're both doctors.
15:31I know exactly what condition I'm in.
15:34Just do what I'm asking.
15:37Adrian, I would make you pay twice over for every ounce of pain you'd cause me.
15:50Early the next morning, Adrian got out of bed, ready to head out.
15:57Still half asleep in a silk nightgown, Kira wrapped her arms around him from behind, her voice soft and petulant.
16:04Where are you going?
16:11Adrian pulled her off and started getting trust.
16:21You're awake.
16:22Good.
16:23Get ready.
16:24We're going to file for divorce.
16:28Kira froze.
16:29All traces of sleep gone.
16:32What are you talking about?
16:34We just got married yesterday.
16:37Yesterday was your birthday.
16:39Marrying you was just granting your birthday wish.
16:41We do this every year.
16:46Now that your wishes come true, let's go get divorced.
16:50He tossed Kira her clothes like he was dismissing a one-night stand.
17:00Kira hurled the clothes to the floor.
17:06Adrian, what are you taking for?
17:09Married one day?
17:10Divorced the next?
17:12I went out of my way to grant your wish.
17:15Don't push your luck.
17:18Remember, Vivian is my real wife.
17:27Adrian straightened his collar and turned to leave.
17:32Adrian, don't you dare walk out!
17:34Get back here!
17:35Adrian ignored her hysterical screaming and slammed the door behind him.
17:47The moment he was outside, he pulled out his phone and called me.
17:52The call rang twice, then went to voicemail.
17:56The person you are calling is unavailable.
17:59Please leave a message after the tone.
18:02Adrian frowned slightly.
18:05He figured I was giving him the silent treatment.
18:08A couple of designer bags would smooth things over,
18:11and we'd go back to the way we'd been.
18:17He called the hospital next.
18:21But the hospital told him there was no patient by that name on record.
18:26Something felt off, but he didn't think too hard about it.
18:30He chalked up to a glitch in the hospital system.
18:35He believed that once he divorced Kira,
18:37he could simply re-marry me.
18:48When he got home,
18:50Kira was in the kitchen making soup,
18:52wearing one of the dresses I wore all the time.
18:58Every move she made was a careful imitation of me.
19:03Adrian went still for a moment.
19:04Then an inexplicable anger rose in him.
19:08He strode into the kitchen and grabbed Kira's wrist.
19:14Why are you still here?
19:16I told you we're getting divorced.
19:21And who said you could wear Vivian's clothes?
19:24Take it off.
19:25Now.
19:32Kira smiled and tried to wrap her arms around him.
19:38Look, I can learn to cook for you just like Vivian did.
19:42I'm even prettier than her and younger.
19:46Stop thinking about her.
19:50Let's just live together, okay?
19:53Adrian looked at the woman in front of him,
19:55who seemed a little unhinged,
19:57and began to regret indulging her birthday wish.
20:06He pulled out the divorce papers
20:08and set them in front of her.
20:13Sign.
20:14Now.
20:17Sign.
20:19Kira spun around and knocked over the pot of steaming soup.
20:23It spilled down her legs,
20:24leaving a large patch of skin angry red.
20:28But she didn't even flinch.
20:29She kept screaming.
20:32No, I won't do it!
20:34You promised you'd marry me!
20:36I finally became your wife,
20:37and now you just want to throw me away?
20:39Get this through your head.
20:41The woman I love is Vivian.
20:45The only wife I'll ever have is Vivian.
20:48If you don't sign these papers,
20:49you can forget about Vivian's research paper
20:52and your precious advisory position.
20:56Kira's lips trembled.
20:57With clenched teeth, she forced a nod.
20:59Fine.
21:00I'll sign.
21:08The second Kira's pen lifted from the page,
21:11Adrian snatched the papers
21:13and headed straight for the hospital
21:15without a moment's delay.
21:16He rushed to the front desk
21:17the moment he walked through the doors.
21:22Where is Vivian Clark?
21:24Where is she?
21:26The receptionist checked the records.
21:29I'm sorry, sir.
21:30We don't have anyone by that name.
21:32Adrian couldn't believe it.
21:34That's impossible.
21:35I called the ambulance myself.
21:38She was brought here.
21:40How can there be no record of her?
21:42Just then,
21:43two young nurses walked out of a patient room.
21:49They were gossiping back and forth.
21:51A patient in bed three
21:52insisted on being discharged today.
21:54Not even the medical director
21:55could talk her out of it.
21:57Poor woman.
21:57She lost her baby before it was even born.
21:59No one could take a blow like that.
22:01And her husband, can you believe him?
22:03His wife was hurt that badly
22:04and he didn't even come to see her.
22:07Adrian frowned as he overheard them.
22:09He felt a flicker of contempt
22:11for the husband they were talking about.
22:13What kind of man does that?
22:15A man like that
22:16let her go through something like that.
22:21Two nurses passed behind him
22:23still chatting.
22:25I heard she's close to the medical director.
22:28He even took her out of the patient directory
22:30and locked down her chart.
22:32They served together as military medics.
22:35She was ahead of him in training.
22:39Oh, I just remembered.
22:41That woman's name was Vivian Clark.
22:45The name hit Adrian like a bomb
22:47going off inside his skull.
22:49The blood in his veins to freeze.
23:01He grabbed both nurses from behind.
23:03His grip so strong it startled them.
23:05The woman you were just talking about?
23:07Say her name again.
23:09The nurse was trembling with fear.
23:11It...
23:12It was Vivian Clark.
23:13When she was brought in
23:14she was hemorrhaging.
23:16The baby couldn't be saved.
23:18She almost didn't make it either.
23:22There was only one military med
23:25named Vivian Clark
23:26in the entire city.
23:29It had to be his wife.
23:32He staggered back two steps
23:34and nearly collapsed.
23:37His lips were shaking.
23:43No.
23:44It can't be.
23:46Not her.
23:48It can't be her.
23:54He immediately made calls
23:57to have the hospital investigated.
23:59They eventually found my file
24:01in the archive room.
24:03The words
24:04hemorrhagic miscarriage
24:06stabbed at his eyes like needles.
24:09He held the file
24:10his whole body trembling.
24:13So when I told him I was pregnant
24:14it hadn't been a joke.
24:16It hadn't been jealousy or spite.
24:18I had really been pregnant.
24:20And because of that ridiculous
24:22birthday wish
24:22he had killed his own child.
24:26As if his soul
24:27had been ripped out of him
24:29he crumpled to the floor
24:30in the hospital corridor
24:32and slapped himself
24:34across face
24:35as hard as he could.
24:36I'm a monster!
24:43At the same time
24:44the press conference
24:45for my research paper
24:46officially began.
24:48The paper could be
24:49an enormous help
24:50in tackling hard-to-treat diseases.
24:52The moment it was unveiled
24:54it drew attention
24:55from the entire medical community.
24:57Kira
24:58listed as the author
24:59stood on stage
25:00in an elegant custom gown.
25:02Reporters aimed their cameras
25:04at her from every angle.
25:05With one relationship
25:07having just ended in failure
25:09Kyra was determined
25:10to score a win
25:11in her career
25:12but she knew nothing
25:13about medicine.
25:14She couldn't even understand
25:15the technical terms
25:16in the paper.
25:24When reporters
25:25and medical professionals
25:26asked her questions
25:27all she could do
25:28was fumble vague
25:29non-answers.
25:30Adela Zaire
25:32is extorting for both
25:33or?
25:34Uh, uh...
25:39These reporters
25:40weren't fools.
25:41They immediately saw
25:42that something was off.
25:44That was when a reporter
25:45named Grace Hayes
25:46stood up.
25:48You claim to be
25:49the author of this paper
25:50yet you can't answer
25:52a single question
25:53about how the research
25:54was conducted.
25:56I have reason to believe
25:57this work was stolen.
26:02The accusation
26:03was razor sharp
26:04and left Kyra
26:05no room to hide.
26:07Kyra went pale
26:08but tried to sound calm
26:09as she shot back.
26:11I wrote this.
26:12I conducted
26:13every experiment myself.
26:15I spent three years
26:16on this paper.
26:17How dare you
26:19accuse me of stealing?
26:20The journalist
26:21didn't flinch.
26:22Instead,
26:23she produced
26:24even stronger evidence.
26:26According to our investigation,
26:28the original first author
26:30of this paper
26:30was a woman named
26:31Vivian Clark.
26:32The name was changed
26:34just one day
26:35before this conference.
26:37Care to explain that?
26:39Kyra instinctively
26:40stepped back.
26:40She had no idea
26:42how a journalist
26:43had gotten access
26:43to that kind
26:44of internal information.
26:45A few miles away
26:47in a hotel room,
26:48I watched on my phone
26:50with interest
26:50as Kyra floundered
26:52in panic.
26:57That's right.
26:59I had leaked
27:00every piece
27:00of information myself,
27:02but I was far from done.
27:04Other reporters
27:05piled on
27:06with their own questions
27:07and the room
27:08descended into chaos.
27:13While Kyra
27:13was still reeling,
27:15I detonated
27:15the real bombshell.
27:17The massive screen
27:18behind Kyra
27:18with photos
27:19of her looking intimate
27:20with different men
27:21during her years abroad.
27:24and the evidence
27:26that Kyra
27:26was responsible
27:27for Lily's death.
27:29Grace,
27:30Nathan's sister,
27:31had found them
27:32at my request.
27:33Kyra's private life
27:34was exposed
27:35and the audience erupted.
27:40even the security guards
27:42couldn't contain
27:42the scene.
27:43When Kyra saw
27:44those photos,
27:45every drop of color
27:46drained from her face.
27:48The past
27:49she had tried
27:49so hard to bury
27:50came rushing back.
27:52She had believed
27:53that marrying Adrian
27:54after returning home
27:55would erase everything.
27:57Why did someone
27:58always have to rip
27:59her wounds open
28:00just when she was
28:01about to grasp happiness?
28:02The cameras
28:03stayed trained on her
28:04like gun barrels,
28:05capturing every second
28:06of her panic.
28:07The conference
28:08she had been so proud of
28:10would become a hell
28:11she could never bear
28:12to look back on.
28:14Kyra was dealt with.
28:16Now came
28:16the main event.
28:18I couldn't wait
28:20to see Adrian's reaction
28:21when he finds out.
28:24The end of the day
28:27Adrian was a high-ranking officer
28:28and a nationally recognized
28:30public figure.
28:32I had turned Adrian
28:34and Kyra's intimate photos
28:35into evidence of an affair.
28:37Once released,
28:39his reputation
28:39would be destroyed.
28:42Just as I pressed send,
28:44someone knocked
28:45on the hotel door.
28:53I opened it
28:54to find Adrian
28:55gasping for breath
28:56leaning against
28:57the doorframe.
28:58His shirt and jacket
28:59soaked through with sweat.
29:01Looking at his face again
29:03filled me with
29:03nothing but disgust.
29:05I moved to shut the door,
29:07but he jammed
29:08his foot in the gap.
29:17He thrust his
29:18and Kyra's
29:19divorce papers
29:20into my hands.
29:21Vivian,
29:21I've already divorced Kyra.
29:22We can be together again.
29:25I let out a cold laugh
29:27and rolled my eyes.
29:28How do you have the nerve
29:29to say that to my face?
29:32After what you did,
29:33do you really think
29:34I'd take you back?
29:35Adrian's eyes
29:36dropped to my flat stomach
29:37and he closed them
29:39in pain.
29:41Vivian,
29:41I was wrong,
29:43but
29:44I really didn't know
29:45you were pregnant.
29:46If I had known,
29:47I would never have
29:48left you there alone.
29:49I was just trying
29:50to grant Kyra's wish.
29:51I didn't mean anything by it.
29:54You're still the one I love.
29:56Please, Vivian,
29:58let's start over.
29:59We can have another baby.
30:03The word baby
30:04sent a scene
30:05crashing through my mind.
30:07Me,
30:08bleeding,
30:09alone on the side
30:10of the road
30:10where he had left me.
30:12Then I remembered
30:13the searing pain
30:14on the operating table
30:15as the baby
30:16was taken from me.
30:17That kind of agony
30:19tears you apart
30:20and the wound
30:21never heals.
30:22Adrian,
30:23we're divorced.
30:24You're the one
30:25who forced me
30:26to sign those papers.
30:28I gave you
30:29what you wanted.
30:29What I do from now on
30:31is none of your business.
30:33I called security
30:34and had them
30:34drag Adrian out.
30:36It was exactly
30:37what he had done
30:38when he threw me
30:38out of our home.
30:40The news of
30:41Adrian's affair
30:42exploded on social media
30:43within minutes
30:44since he and Kyra
30:45had made their wedding
30:46so public
30:47gathering the evidence
30:48had been effortless.
30:49The evidence
30:50included their
30:51intimate photos
30:52and the story
30:52of how he had
30:53caused the death
30:54of his own child.
30:56Public outrage
30:57came crashing down
30:58like a tidal wave.
31:05People were even
31:06calling his military
31:07headquarters directly.
31:09He abandoned
31:10his own child.
31:11Why is this scumbag
31:12still in uniform?
31:13I thought he and Kyra
31:14were a match made
31:15in heaven.
31:16Turns out he had
31:17a wife the whole time.
31:21Rank doesn't mean
31:22character.
31:22Does a man like this
31:23deserve to be called
31:24a high-ranked officer?
31:26Because the scandal
31:27involved a high-ranking
31:28officer,
31:29the military removed
31:31Adrian from his post
31:32and suspended him
31:33pending an investigation.
31:36After finally getting
31:37out of the press conference,
31:39Kyra fled straight
31:40to Adrian's mansion.
31:42A handful of reporters
31:43she couldn't shake
31:44trailed right behind her.
31:48The moment she walked in,
31:49she found Adrian slumped
31:51on the floor,
31:52hollow-eyed.
31:53Adrian, help me!
31:54Tell them the paper is mine!
31:56And those photos
31:57are all lies!
32:02That wasn't me!
32:03That wasn't me!
32:06She clutched her head,
32:08crouched on the ground,
32:09and broke into
32:09hysterical sobs.
32:11Adrian raised his
32:12lifeless eyes
32:13to look at her,
32:14then slowly stood up.
32:16Fine.
32:17I'll clear things up for you.
32:21He opened the mansion door
32:23to face the wall
32:24of reporters
32:24and spoke.
32:25The real author
32:26of that research paper
32:27is Vivian Clark.
32:29Kyra Whitward
32:30is an imposter.
32:32A shocked murmur
32:32rippled through the crowd.
32:34Kyra's face went white.
32:36She lunged forward
32:37and grabbed Adrian
32:38by the collar.
32:39Adrian, what are you saying?
32:40I asked you
32:41to defend me!
32:43Adrian shoved her off
32:45and faced the cameras.
32:47This research paper
32:48has always belonged
32:49to Vivian Clark.
32:51Kyra stole her work
32:53to boost her application
32:54for a medical advisory position.
32:59It's all my fault.
33:02I changed the byline
33:04without permission.
33:05I drove my wife away
33:08because of a con artist.
33:10He paused,
33:12then slapped himself
33:13hard across the face.
33:15I killed my own child.
33:17I failed Vivian.
33:20It's all on me.
33:23With every sentence,
33:24he hit himself again.
33:26Kyra screamed.
33:28Adrian!
33:29Adrian, what's wrong with you?
33:33She rushed forward
33:34to cover his mouth,
33:35terrified he would
33:36give the press
33:37even more ammunition
33:38against her.
33:44But Adrian backhanded
33:45her so hard
33:46she hit the ground.
33:48Before she could get up,
33:49he was on top of her,
33:50both hands
33:51locked around her throat.
34:05He kept choking Kayla
34:07until she was about
34:08to foam at the mouth
34:09and black out.
34:10The scene erupted
34:11into Pandomium.
34:13Some reporters
34:14hammered their shutter buttons,
34:16desperate not to miss
34:17the explosive story.
34:19Others rushed forward
34:20and struggled
34:21to pry them apart.
34:24Kyra was hospitalized
34:24that same day.
34:27When she woke,
34:28she was no longer
34:29in her right mind.
34:30She spent her days
34:32in a delusional haze,
34:33believing she and Adrian
34:35were still married.
34:36Before long,
34:37she was transferred
34:38to a psychiatric facility.
34:40Every day,
34:41she relived that birthday.
34:43Adrian fared no better.
34:46Stripped of his rank,
34:48drowning in scandal,
34:49he became a public pariah.
34:52Everyone who had hurt me
34:53had paid the price.
34:55My plan was complete.
34:59After two months of recovery,
35:01my body had mostly healed.
35:04One day,
35:05a package arrived
35:06from Adrian.
35:08Inside was a letter
35:09and a large envelope.
35:11The letter contained
35:12a single line.
35:14I'm sorry for everything I did.
35:16I don't expect
35:17your forgiveness,
35:18but please accept these.
35:20I owe you this much.
35:22Curious,
35:22I opened the envelope.
35:24Inside was the original manuscript
35:27of my research paper.
35:29The manuscript Adrian
35:30had taken for himself
35:31was returned to me untouched.
35:34Also in the envelope
35:36were a bank card
35:37and the deeds
35:38to two luxury villas.
35:40I checked the balance
35:41on the card.
35:42It held Adrian's
35:43entire life savings.
35:45I quietly put the money
35:47and the deeds away.
35:48I had lost a child
35:49in many years of my life.
35:51I deserved every bit of it.
35:57A month later,
35:58I returned to the hospital,
36:00not as a patient,
36:01as a doctor.
36:02Nathan met me
36:03at the entrance.
36:04He looked relieved.
36:06You're really coming back?
36:07I need to work.
36:08I can't hide forever.
36:10He nodded
36:11and walked me
36:12to my old office.
36:14Everything was exactly
36:16where I had left it.
36:17My books.
36:18My notes.
36:19My coffee mug.
36:21I sat down
36:22and took a deep breath.
36:23It felt strange
36:24to be back.
36:25That afternoon,
36:26I saw my first patient.
36:27A young woman,
36:28pregnant.
36:29She looked scared.
36:30Doctor,
36:30is my baby okay?
36:31I froze for a second.
36:33The word baby
36:35still hurt.
36:36Then I looked at her.
36:37She was trembling.
36:39Alone.
36:40Just like I had been.
36:42I forced a smile
36:44and checked her chart.
36:45Everything looks fine.
36:47Your baby is healthy.
36:52She burst into tears
36:53of relief.
36:55Thank you so much.
36:57After she left,
36:58I sat in silence
36:59for a long time.
37:01I had lost my child,
37:03but I could still
37:04save others.
37:05That night,
37:06Nathan drove me home.
37:09He didn't say much.
37:10He never pushed.
37:13At my door,
37:14he finally spoke.
37:15You did good today, Vivian.
37:17I looked at him.
37:19For the first time in months,
37:20I felt something other than pain.
37:22Thank you, Nathan,
37:23for everything.
37:24He smiled.
37:25Get some rest.
37:26I'll see you tomorrow.
37:28I closed the door
37:30and leaned against it.
37:31The wound was still there,
37:32but it was healing.
37:36Six months passed.
37:38My research paper
37:39was published under my name.
37:41The medical community praised it.
37:43I was invited to speak
37:44at conferences.
37:45I accepted.
37:47I was no longer hiding.
37:50One evening,
37:51I sat in my new apartment.
37:53It was small,
37:54but mine.
37:56Nathan came over
37:57with dinner.
37:59He cooked
38:00while I read.
38:01You know,
38:02you smile more now.
38:03Do I?
38:04You do.
38:05It suits you.
38:07I looked at him.
38:08He had been there
38:09since that night
38:10in the rain.
38:10He never asked
38:11for anything.
38:13Nathan,
38:13why did you help me?
38:15You barely knew me
38:16back then.
38:22He downed the spoon
38:23and turned to me.
38:26I knew you.
38:27We trained together.
38:28You were the best
38:29meted in our unit.
38:30You saved lives.
38:31You deserve better.
38:33I didn't know
38:33what to say,
38:34so I just nodded.
38:36After dinner,
38:37we sat on the balcony.
38:38The city lights
38:39flickered below.
38:40I'm not ready
38:40for anything serious.
38:42I know.
38:43I might never be.
38:45I know that too.
38:47He didn't look away.
38:49He didn't push.
38:51Then why stay?
38:53He thought for a moment.
38:54Because you're worth
38:55staying for.
38:56I looked at the city,
38:58then at him.
38:59For the first time,
39:00the future didn't feel
39:01so empty.
39:02Adrian was gone.
39:03Kira was gone.
39:04My baby was gone.
39:05But I was still here,
39:06and that had to mean
39:07something.
39:08I reached over
39:09and took his hand.
39:10Okay.
39:11I whispered.
39:14Just take it slow.
39:16He squeezed my hand gently.
39:19Slow it is.
39:40I whispered.
40:09This is to cover.
