00:00Before listening from episode 41 to episode 45, don't forget supporting me by buying for me a coffee from the link in the description or in the first comment or below the video.
00:12To motivate me, share all chapters of the book. Also, don't forget subscribe, comment and like.
00:19All three of the figures in the image were facing the camera.
00:23However, ever since the twins had realized the truth, they had deliberately started to wear face masks wherever they went in the hallways, prevent anyone from discovering the truth.
00:35The camera's resolution was also very low, so it was impossible to differentiate between the children right away.
00:43Nora hesitated for a moment, then pointed to one of them and said,
00:47This one could be Pete.
00:49Nora scoffed and said that my daughter...
00:52To be honest, both of them are exactly the same height, and their mannerisms are also identical.
00:58She thought,
00:59It's very peculiar. I only recognize Cherry because of the Spider-Man outfit she's wearing.
01:05Unconvinced. Just enough. Are you sure? I can't tell which is which. Six is fierce.
01:13Gaze on the image of Chester instead, Nora said sarcastically. That seems to be your younger brother, Mr. Hunt.
01:22Outside the door, three heads were lined up sideways, their ears pressed against the door as they quietly listened to the sounds in the room.
01:32A commotion inside the room intrigued them all.
01:36Cherry and Pete looked at Chester.
01:39Uncle Chester. What are Mommy and Daddy doing? Are they tearing down the place? Chester replied triumphantly.
01:47They're fighting with each other.
01:49It's not something that children need to understand. In any case, their relationship will definitely improve after they're done fighting.
01:58Cherry was a little worried. She asked,
02:01Is the fight supposed to be this intense?
02:05Chester raised an eyebrow and answered,
02:07Of course. Love may even be at stake here. Two of you are the result of one of the fights they had in the past.
02:15Cherry was confused. She frowned and asked,
02:19But what if Mommy beats Daddy up so badly that he breaks?
02:23Pete felt anger towards his father. How can Daddy fight with a woman so wrong?
02:29No wonder he can't impress Mommy and make her want to marry him.
02:33Chester was amused by the children.
02:35Little did he know how wrong he was and his assumptions about Nora and Justin's activities.
02:41He continued to listen to the sounds in the room for a while with great interest and was secretly impressed.
02:47Justin is Justin after all.
02:49Sure. Going out in there.
02:52It sounds stopped soon after.
02:55Chester pressed his ear harder against the door and asked in a low voice,
03:00Can't help feel bad helping you guys hide the truth from Justin?
03:04When are you going to tell him?
03:06Harry was clever and quick-witted.
03:09She didn't have a firm opinion on this.
03:12She looked at her brother for guidance.
03:15He heard his lips and answered,
03:17I'll tell him everything.
03:19After Mommy cures great-grandma's illness,
03:21It thought about it very clearly.
03:24Keeping this a secret was disrespectful to their parents,
03:27especially when their mom was still searching all over the world for him
03:30and going through unimaginable worry.
03:33If they don't fall in love with each other,
03:36even after they spent the next few days together,
03:39then I won't try to force them anymore.
03:41He decided.
03:43Just as Chester was about to reply,
03:45the door shook violently.
03:47Someone was banging on it from inside.
03:50Furious voice came from within the door.
03:53Chester open this door right now.
03:55Chester quickly opened the metal padlock.
03:58Justin stormed out of the room,
04:00looking angrier than ever.
04:02He took Pete and Chester upstairs.
04:04Nah, I didn't care how he was going to punish Chester.
04:08She was sitting on the sofa, staring at Cherry.
04:11She asked sternly,
04:13Why did you do that, Cherry?
04:15Cherry hung her head and stared at her finger,
04:18so intimidated, dare not speak.
04:21Nora softened her tone and asked,
04:23Do you want me to get together with Justin Hunt?
04:26Cherry nodded.
04:28She tried to explain without revealing the real secret.
04:32Mommy,
04:33if you convince that I mean Jocelyn become your husband,
04:37how impressive would it be when you go out together?
04:40He's so handsome and rich.
04:42Don't you want?
04:44Nora looked at her daughter with concern.
04:46She rubbed her temples and asked with allow.
04:49The idea was,
04:51Harry sold her uncle out without hesitation.
04:54Chex, upstairs.
04:56Chester looked at Justin,
04:58who was sitting on the sofa,
05:00seriously with trepidation.
05:02He swallowed and said,
05:04Justin,
05:05I meant well.
05:07You haven't been with a woman for so many years.
05:10I don't get how you haven't gone completely crazy.
05:13He was so frightened that his legs felt like jelly,
05:16clamped them together as he listened to his brother's reply.
05:20What were you thinking?
05:22You weren't.
05:23Of course.
05:25As punishment,
05:27no living expenses for you.
05:29Six months.
05:30His words stunned Chester.
05:32Who blurted out that?
05:34I was expecting far care.
05:36I thought he'd have me completely cut off because I plotted against him.
05:40If I were anyone else,
05:42I'd have made sure to completely destroy me.
05:45He thought relieved.
05:47Justin raised an eyebrow.
05:49What do you think?
05:50I'm being too lenient.
05:52The actor immediately started backpedaling anxiously.
05:56He replied,
05:57No, of course not.
05:59Six months without living expenses.
06:01How am I going to buy game credit?
06:04Can't get any worse than that.
06:06He fled and Justin leaned back against the sofa.
06:09He let his mind return to the memory of holding Nora's shoulders downstairs and kissing her.
06:14He touched his mouth.
06:16I can still feel the smooth sensation of her lips on mine.
06:20He also remembered when the bath towel had suddenly dropped.
06:24Nope.
06:25I didn't see anything.
06:27Nothing at all.
06:29The next day,
06:30Nora got Mrs. Lewis to pack their belongings early in the morning.
06:34They went to the airport at noon.
06:36When they found out Nora was going to New York with Justin,
06:40Simon and Melissa had decided to take the same flight.
06:43When they got there,
06:45Simon would be transferred to Nice General Hospital.
06:48The standard of medical care there was much better than in California.
06:52It was only when they arrived at the airport that Nora discovered they were actually taking a private jet.
06:58Melissa was impressed.
07:00She remarked with a sigh,
07:02Private jets have to be scheduled in advance.
07:05It takes a lot of organization.
07:08For Justin to have arranged all this so quickly is pressing the hunt.
07:13Sure are living up to their reputation as a super-influential family.
07:18Nora's eyes flickered a little awkwardly at the mention of the...
07:22She soon saw exactly how meticulous he was.
07:26He arranged a private room for her on the plane at a large,
07:29comfortable bed so her sleeping needs would be fully met.
07:33He slept the whole way to New York.
07:35On arrival, Melissa went home with Carrie in the luggage,
07:39while Nora and the hospital staff had come to pick them up.
07:43Accompanied Simon and Justin to the hospital.
07:46When they got there, Nora helped Simon to settle down in the Veep Ward 4.
07:51Then she went to the IQ to find Justin and his grandmother.
07:55Justin had sent Nora Mrs. Hunt's medical records back in California itself
08:00when she had agreed to treat her.
08:02Nora didn't want to waste any time.
08:05The day she saved the elderly lady's life,
08:08the day that she would get her son back,
08:10she wanted to go over and take a look so she could schedule the surgery
08:14as soon as possible.
08:16He hadn't expected to hear urgent beeping coming from the heart rate monitor
08:21inside the IQ the moment she reached the door.
08:25Out in the hallway.
08:27Some of the Hunts from Howard's side of the family line
08:31confronting Justin and Pete.
08:33Pete, who was wearing a mask and a cap.
08:37Was looking toward the wards anxiously.
08:40Justin's uncle was pointing at Peter and yelling,
08:43Jinx, you're a great-grandma when it's critical condition
08:47the moment you came back.
08:49Now she won't be able to get the surgery,
08:51even if we do find the femur.
08:53Too late.
08:55Pete's eyes reddened as he clenched his tiny fist.
08:58Great-grandma, you have to hold on.
09:01Justin frowned, concern etched in his face.
09:06She was in a stable condition.
09:08Why had she suddenly deteriorated so quickly?
09:11Shrill beeping alarms continued.
09:14Sharp voice reached them from inside the IQ ward.
09:17We're losing her.
09:19The place is in chaos.
09:21The sounds of doctors and nurses administering emergency medical treatment
09:25be heard coming from inside the ward.
09:28Mom, grandma, grandma, grandma.
09:33Shut up.
09:35Justin barked fiercely, causing their sobs to stop abruptly.
09:39Justin's uncle, Raymond Hunt,
09:42immediately said reproachfully,
09:45just because you're cold and heartless, Justin,
09:47doesn't mean we can't be upset.
09:50You can't forbid.
09:52Justin shot him a glare and snapped.
09:55Grandma isn't dead.
09:57Raymond was so frightened by him.
09:59The words had been about to utter stuck in his throat.
10:02Everyone stared at Justin,
10:04pressed his lips together and looked over the ward.
10:08He started to tremble.
10:10He was usually smart and for his age,
10:13but he was at a loss now.
10:15He felt scared and helpless, as if sensing his son's panic.
10:19Justin placed a large hand on his shoulder.
10:22He felt warm and gradually calm down.
10:25You saw Justin looking down at him.
10:28His rich voice was soothing, as you said.
10:32Pete?
10:34Pete's eyes reddened again.
10:36He nodded.
10:37Nora had walked over to join them at the ward.
10:40She glanced at Pete because she'd needed to sleep on the plane.
10:43She'd stayed inside her room with Jerry the whole time
10:46and hadn't interacted with Justin and his son.
10:49Now that she was so close to Pete,
10:51she realized his physique really was very similar to Jerry's.
10:56She wanted to observe him a little more,
10:58but the sounds in the ward caught her attention.
11:01When Justin noticed that she hadn't entered the ward yet,
11:04his heart sank.
11:06Even she thinks Grandma is doomed.
11:09His voice was very low.
11:11For the first time, there was helplessness and pleading,
11:14and he said,
11:17However, before he finished speaking,
11:19Nora entered the ward.
11:21Nice General Hospital was indeed worthy of its reputation
11:25as the best hospital in the country.
11:28It boasted the best conditions for medical care in the states,
11:32from the highest quality equipment
11:34to exceptionally well-trained and professional doctors and nurses.
11:39The team worked on Just Grandmother were organized and efficient.
11:43They tried to save their patient.
11:45Prepare to apply shock.
11:47200 V.
11:49Stand clear.
11:51Mrs. Hunt's heart finally started beating again,
11:54and the doctors and nurses breathed a collective sigh of relief.
11:58Nora, however, frowned.
12:00He'd studied the patient's data carefully.
12:03Something doesn't feel right.
12:05Dr. Tina York,
12:07the physician in charge of Mrs. Hunt's care,
12:10had been part of the emergency rescue efforts.
12:13She took off her mask,
12:15revealing a bright, attractive face underneath.
12:18Her voice was calm and steady.
12:20She provided an update on her patients.
12:23Mr. Hunt, your grandmother's body is already at the clinic.
12:27Cardiac arrest.
12:29She suffered what's caused multiple organ failure.
12:32Once she doesn't wake up soon,
12:34I'm afraid there won't be much more we can do.
12:37Chat and frown.
12:40Now, Dr. York,
12:42we thought she was stable.
12:44Why did this suddenly happen?
12:47At his question,
12:49Tina frowned and sighed.
12:51She replied,
12:52Your grandmother is 80 years old.
12:54Her body is no longer as healthy as it was before.
12:57Justin looked at Nora.
12:59Now, should we proceed with the surgery immediately?
13:04No.
13:05You must.
13:06Hina shook her head before Nora could reply.
13:09Her voice was mild and gentle as she spoke.
13:12She sounded confident and reliable.
13:15Mrs. Hunter's two weeks at the moment.
13:18We've only just managed.
13:20Stabilize her.
13:21She undergoes surgery.
13:23Now, we risk the operation doing further harm.
13:27Nora added,
13:29She was carefully observing the patient.
13:31Mrs. Hunt's eyes were closed.
13:33She was thin and her face was covered in wrinkles.
13:37There was barely any sign of life on her as she lay on the bed
13:41and certainly in an extremely weak state.
13:44But if we don't get the surgery done,
13:47The blood clot in her brain will impede circulation for a prolonged period.
13:52Her chances of her waking up will become increasingly low.
13:56While she was thinking, another quarrel broke out outside the door.
14:01Raymond and his family, but also heard what Tina had said, infuriated.
14:06Raymond exclaimed,
14:08Does that mean my mother is doomed?
14:10What did she ever do to deserve this?
14:13We told her that that boy Justin brought back was a bad apple.
14:17She refused to believe us and insisted on keeping him by her side
14:21and it all ended up with him pushing her down the stairs.
14:24He might as well kill her.
14:27Raymond was 55 years old.
14:29He looked thin, but was surprisingly energetic.
14:33He had a shrewd look in his eyes,
14:35came from many years of life experience.
14:38His son Roger had the Hunt family trait, deep-set eyes.
14:42However, the look in them wasn't as deep and unfathomable as that.
14:48He was usually smiling or up to some kind of mischief or other.
14:52He sighed and choked on his sobs as he said,
14:55Don't say that, Dad.
14:57Pete's not like other kids.
14:59He didn't mean to do it.
15:01He never would have wanted to hurt his great-grandma.
15:04There was a boy on their side of the family, in the same generation as Pete.
15:09His name was Freddy.
15:11He was overweight.
15:13His eyes were barely visible in his chubby cheeks.
15:16Freddy suddenly rushed up to Pete,
15:18curled his hand up into a fist,
15:20and sent it flying towards Pete, faith fiercely.
15:24What did you do?
15:26You murder her.
15:28Shhh!
15:30Justin was just about to ask Nora for her expert opinion
15:33after hearing what Tina had said.
15:35I can't believe such a critical moment.
15:38My uncle and his family are ignoring Grandma's condition
15:41and starting to heat again.
15:43What's their problem?
15:45Then he saw Freddy about to punch Keith in the face.
15:48Justin lost it.
15:50He couldn't restrain the anger he'd been suppressing anymore.
15:54He reached out and pushed,
15:56ready to the ground as fast as he could,
15:58the nudge caused,
16:00ready to slide across the ground.
16:02Justin hadn't pushed him too hard,
16:04so he didn't suffer any real injury.
16:08The pain made him burst into tears.
16:10He scrambled over to Raymond and hid behind them.
16:14Save me, Grandpa.
16:16Uncle Justin trying to kill me?
16:18Raymond turned on Justin, shouting angrily,
16:21What are you doing?
16:23Anger sparked in Justin's eyes.
16:25His voice was cold and ruthless as he said,
16:28If you can't keep your grandson in check,
16:31then I'll do it for you.
16:33Raymond Yale,
16:34why don't keep your own son in check first?
16:36He caused your grandmother's death.
16:38That is absolutely unforgivable.
16:41Justin took a step forward imposingly
16:44and said Pete didn't kill anyone.
16:47She isn't dead and he says he didn't push her.
16:50I trust him.
16:52Roger stood between Justin and the others.
16:55He sighed gently and said,
16:57Justin, trust makes no difference.
17:00It's no use.
17:02It's obvious from the living room security camera footage.
17:05He pushed her.
17:07We've already given the footage to Grandpa
17:10and decided they're holding a family meeting this week
17:13and are going to expel Pete from the family.
17:16Justin was distressed.
17:18How can we possibly get Pete off the hook?
17:21Servants testified.
17:23He argued with Grandma in his video footage.
17:26They'll say its fundamental evidence supports their accusation.
17:30The camera was angled in such a way.
17:32The video only showed everything from the back.
17:35In the video, Grandma was falling
17:37and Pete's arms were outstretched behind her.
17:40Well, it does look like Pete pushed her
17:43but he says he didn't.
17:45Now I believe my son always.
17:48Roger is right though.
17:50What you have that they've got both witness testimonials
17:53and material evidence.
17:55There's only one option left now
17:57and that's to save Grandma.
18:00When she regains consciousness
18:02she'll tell everyone what really happened.
18:04She's the only person who can prove Pete's innocence.
18:08Pete stayed hard at the door to his grandmother's room.
18:12He didn't hear the others reprimanding him.
18:15The only thing he cared about was his great-grandmother's survival.
18:19Seeing the elderly lady lying motionless
18:22his eyes filled with tears.
18:24He rushed into the ward
18:26hugged Nora's leg and pleaded
18:29Mommy saved great-grandma.
18:32Nora, who had been checking Mrs. Hunt's vital signs
18:36froze at hearing the child's voice.
18:38She lowered her head and saw the little boy looking up at her
18:42not so familiar
18:44but I must have misheard him.
18:46He had a mask and a cap on
18:48so his looks couldn't be clearly seen.
18:51His eyes were full of familial love and pleading.
18:55Nora's mind went blank
18:57a distant thought at the back of her mind
19:00but at that moment another machine sounded an alarm.
19:04She shook her head to clear it.
19:06The thought was gone.
19:08Saving the patient is what matters most right now.
19:11She refocused on the situation in front of her.
19:14Mrs. Hunt's blood pressure had risen a little.
19:17Dr. York hurried back in and finally noticed Nora.
19:21She put on a mask and frowned as she asked
19:24Who are you?
19:25This is the IQ ward.
19:27Please leave immediately.
19:29Dr. Smith is here on my request.
19:32Justin had joined them in the ward.
19:35He ordered let her assist with my grandmother's care.
19:39Tina paused for a moment and a sharp look flashed across her eyes.
19:43This is most irregular, she thought
19:46but she nodded and said
19:48All right, I'll allow it.
19:50She can take a look.
19:52Justin and Pete left the ward as it filled with professionals again
19:56and the treatment restarted.
19:58Nora stood slightly off to the side
20:01out of the way of the concentrated activity around the patient.
20:05Tina looked over, unsure what to make of her.
20:08He asked somewhat disdainfully
20:11Sodium nitric oxide, Dr. Smith.
20:14Nora nodded. Sodium.
20:17Nitric oxide is a drug that lowers blood pressure.
20:20That's exactly what's needed right now.
20:23Pina quickly injected the drug into Mrs. Hunt.
20:26Her condition stabilized again.
20:29Few minutes later, Nora and Tina left the ward together.
20:33After reading through the patient's medical records
20:36looking at her latest kick-scan results
20:39Pina led the way.
20:41As soon as she left the ward
20:43she saw Justin striding toward her.
20:45He took off her mask with a solemn look
20:48and was about to speak
20:50when Justin walked straight past her to Nora instead.
20:53He looked nervous as he asked his surgery possible.
20:57Tina spoke before Nora had the chance to answer.
21:01Mr. Hunt, your grandmother's condition is very complicated.
21:06He has high blood pressure, multiple organ failure.
21:09She's taking a huge toll on her heart.
21:12She undergoes surgery now.
21:15Even if Dr. Smith was here to do the operation
21:18there's only a 30% chance of success
21:21if we can't protect her heart.
21:23There's a 70% chance she'll die amid operation.
21:27Additionally, the surgery will be very dramatic
21:30even if she's lucky enough to survive.
21:33Her heart would be damaged
21:35and she may end up living only six months.
21:38Doc Smith, am I right?
21:40Nora nodded.
21:42That's a reasonable assessment of the situation.
21:45Tina glanced across Raymond and the others nearby.
21:49She turned her attention back to Justin
21:51and lowered her voice.
21:53However, I do have another suggestion here, Mr. Hunt.
21:57Justin finally looked her way.
22:00Tina raised her chin slightly and said,
22:02As you know, I am a student of Mr. Meyers
22:07a master of alternative traditional medicine techniques.
22:11I'm familiar with some of these texts myself.
22:14I can use acupuncture to allow Mrs. Hunt
22:17to temporarily regain control.
22:20Temporarily?
22:22Justin was skeptical.
22:24Tina put her hands in the pockets of her white lab coat.
22:27She tried to explain, speaking calmly and steadily
22:31hoping to put me at ease.
22:33I need him to trust me.
22:35Yes, I can use puncture needles
22:38forcibly break through the blood clot in her brain
22:41so that she'll wake up temporarily.
22:44This is a commonly known phenomenon
22:46where a patient may experience a short-lived period
22:49of good health before their demise.
22:51However, you'll only be able to last the day
22:54when she's woken up.
22:56After that, she'll...
22:58Jackson's eyes widened
23:00and he pressed his lips tightly together.
23:02When Tina came to see
23:04that he understood what she was saying
23:06she continued carefully.
23:08Mrs. Hunt's condition is such
23:10that if she undergoes surgery now
23:13even if it goes well
23:15she will only be able to live for six months
23:17using the best medications.
23:19The operation fails.
23:21She doesn't regain consciousness.
23:23She'll be in a coma for a couple of months
23:26before fading away.
23:28If you take my suggestion
23:30we can wake up immediately
23:32and clear your son's name.
23:34You don't want his life to be ruined
23:36by something that wasn't his fault.
23:38Do you?
23:39Nora, who'd been standing next to her
23:41listening, was bewildered.
23:43Can't believe what I'm hearing.
23:45Tantamount to murder.
23:47He might seem reliable
23:49but it's an appalling idea.
23:51He looked at the floor
23:53and tried to hide her disdain.
23:55There's a clear right and wrong here
23:57but Justin's ruthless
23:59and Tina's suggestion
24:01is his son's best interest.
24:03She was relieved when her thoughts
24:05were interrupted by Justin's cold warning.
24:07Dr. York, your duty is to the patient
24:11not my son.
24:13Tina immediately lowered her head
24:15and said,
24:16My apologies, Mr. Hunt.
24:18Watched it grow up
24:20and I don't want him to have this awful
24:22accusation hanging over his head
24:24but I shouldn't have suggested it.
24:26I got my priorities wrong.
24:28Justin was done wasting time
24:30listening to her.
24:32He asked Nora,
24:34Doctor, is surgery possible or not?
24:37These words were something that Nora
24:39had heard countless times from her patients
24:41and their families.
24:43Now, with Justin standing in front of her
24:46saying them in his deep, rich life
24:49he felt something stirred deep inside her.
24:52He brushed that feeling aside
24:54smiled at him slightly
24:56and confidently replied,
24:58Yes it is, he added reassuringly.
25:01I predict that 99 chance of survival.
25:04That won't put his mind at rest.
25:07Nothing will.
25:09I can't guarantee you 100, can I?
25:12After all, what if there's an earthquake
25:14or something during the operation?
25:16Doctor, you can't be serious.
25:19And I exclaimed,
25:21Mr. Hunt, as your grandmother's doctor
25:24I must tell you that the likelihood
25:26of a successful surgery
25:28would only be 30
25:29even if it were Athena here
25:31performing the procedure.
25:33You mustn't let this woman fool you.
25:35Justin didn't have any doubts
25:37about Nora's words.
25:39He trusted her.
25:41He ordered, prepare the operating room
25:43immediately.
25:45Tina couldn't believe what was happening.
25:47She tried to calm herself down.
25:49What was he thinking?
25:51Why is he not listening to me?
25:53I'm his grandmother's doctor.
25:55I know her.
25:57Who is that woman?
25:59And why is he doing?
26:01What she says?
26:03You think she's so special?
26:05She's making a huge mistake.
26:07Let's see how he deals with her
26:09when his grandmother dies
26:11on the operating table.
26:13By the time the operating room was ready
26:15Lily had arrived
26:17as well as Nora's other assistants.
26:19There was no way she would use outsiders.
26:21Such a difficult operation.
26:23They are prepped and gowned up
26:25Nora entered the theater to start the procedure.
26:27Lily complained softly.
26:29Patient is very advanced in years.
26:31Athena,
26:33the biggest problem is in her head.
26:35Her heart.
26:37Surgery is very risky in cases like this.
26:39Why did you agree to do it?
26:41Don't worry Lily.
26:43I'll take care of her heart.
26:45Nora took out a few needles
26:47and pierced the old lady's heart
26:49and quickly and accurately
26:51feeling and protecting her heart.
26:53Meridian.
26:55Her eyes gleam.
26:57Surgeon was just a title that people had given Athena
26:59based on preconceptions
27:01around her medical skills.
27:03It was a well kept secret.
27:05She was also highly skilled.
27:07Substantive medicine.
27:09Five hours later
27:11Nora removed her surgical gown
27:13and walked out of the operating room
27:15exhausted as he'd been drugged
27:17the night before.
27:19She was feeling a little short on energy that day.
27:21She collapsed onto the sofa
27:23in the sterile area
27:25and closed her eyes.
27:27A familiar voice came to her mind again.
27:29Mommy save.
27:31Great Grandma.
27:33Those eyes on that voice.
27:35He seemed so familiar.
27:37Nora awoke a few minutes later
27:39with a start.
27:41He left the room and immediately spotted
27:43Justin who had been waiting
27:45outside the whole time.
27:47He was leaning against the wall
27:49when he saw her walking toward him.
27:51Smiled slightly.
27:53He rarely showed emotion
27:55but he couldn't help himself.
27:57That's something about her.
27:59And yet she denies having
28:01feelings for me but her eyes
28:03look so passionate right now
28:05while his imagination was running wild.
28:07Nora rushed up to him
28:09and asked, where's your son?
28:11Dustin was bewildered.
28:13His eyes betrayed his confusion.
28:15Why is she asking
28:17about Pete instead of telling me
28:19about the Opry?
28:21Still feeling confused.
28:23He told her he's gone home.
28:25And something the matter.
28:27The operation had lasted for six hours
28:29and it was already one in the morning.
28:31Pete had planned to stick it out
28:33but he was still young after all
28:35and couldn't endure it.
28:37Justin had sent someone to take him
28:39home while he stayed at the hospital.
28:41He's long.
28:43Nora felt at a loss.
28:45She looked for. No.
28:47It's nothing.
28:49Why are you still here?
28:51Justin slowly stood up straight
28:53and looked at her intently.
28:55Dim lights made him look even more handsome
28:57and his voice was low and alluring
28:59as he replied, I'm waiting for you.
29:01It was late.
29:03Moonlight shone
29:05through the windows and the quiet
29:07hallway.
29:09Justin had stepped a little closer to her
29:11making the atmosphere seem
29:13somewhat romantic.
29:15That's crazy.
29:17He's surely not flirting with me.
29:19Not here. Not now.
29:21Nora shook
29:23her head slightly to get rid of the
29:25distracting thoughts in her mind.
29:27She chuckled softly and said
29:29it's understandable
29:31that you're concerned about.
29:33Don't worry.
29:35The operation was a success.
29:37Your grandmother will be fine.
29:39She took out her cell phone
29:41and checked her text message.
29:43The Andersons have sent someone to pick me up.
29:45I'm going now.
29:47Goodbye.
29:49She turned around and walked away from him.
29:51He watched her go, her step fast.
29:53Clumsy.
29:55I was going to take her back to the Andersons' house.
29:57She must be exhausted.
29:59Justin was aware he was staring at.
30:01He pulled himself together
30:03and started to follow her to the hospital's exit.
30:05I trust her.
30:07I believe she's done a good job
30:09with grandma's operation.
30:11I'm so glad I found someone so skilled.
30:13He stopped in his tracks
30:15and he turned the corner.
30:17There was Nora, still walking,
30:19but talking to someone on her phone.
30:21She kept her voice low as she said
30:23look up Justin Hunt for us.
30:25He was puzzled.
30:27What? We're here.
30:29After so many years
30:31immersed in the world of commerce,
30:33he was usually good at reading
30:35people's intentions.
30:37She's so beautiful,
30:39but vague and charming.
30:41And she's the one person
30:43I can't see through at all.
30:45I have no idea what's going on
30:47inside her head.
30:49It's so hot and cold.
30:51She was so cool and indifferent
30:53toward me now and last night.
30:55And yet now?
30:57She's getting someone to investigate me.
30:59He stopped following her.
31:01Nora hadn't noticed him behind her.
31:03She turned another corner
31:05and continued speaking.
31:07I want all the information
31:09you can find out about his son.
31:11On the other end of the call,
31:13Sola was full of questions.
31:15Why are you looking up his son?
31:17Oh, I see.
31:19You want to be a stepmother, right?
31:21Hey, I told you Justin's handsome,
31:23didn't I?
31:25Sure enough,
31:27you can't control yourself anymore
31:29after seeing him, right?
31:31Tell me I'm wrong.
31:33Nora's eyes flickered.
31:35She considered it.
31:37Is he handsome?
31:39The way he looked at her on the sofa last night
31:41when he was obviously drugged,
31:43still able to restrain himself,
31:45was indeed rather attractive.
31:47She replied dispassionately,
31:49He's possible.
31:51Sola whistled and said,
31:53And all the years I've known you,
31:55it's been a rare few
31:57that you've deemed passable.
31:59I think the two of you have a chance.
32:01Are you planning to?
32:03Nora interrupts and said,
32:05I hope to see the information in my mailbox
32:07when I wake up.
32:09Sola gave up.
32:11He replied, All right.
32:13Nora hung up and got into the car
32:15that Melissa had set her up,
32:17not in the mood to admire
32:19New York's night scenery.
32:21She closed her eyes and instantly fell asleep.
32:23Miss Smith.
32:25Miss Smith.
32:27Miss Smith.
32:29Nora's tender eyes dazed
32:31and found that they had arrived
32:33at the Andersons' house.
32:35The car had stopped at the port
32:37and the small three-story villa
32:39was brightly lit.
32:41It was obvious the occupants
32:43were still awake.
32:45Nora yawned and glanced at time
32:47as she got out of the car.
32:49It's already two.
32:51Zero in the morning.
32:53The villa was decorated
32:55in a simple European style,
32:57and people were sitting on the couch.
32:59An old lady who was nearly
33:01eighty years old was seated in the middle.
33:03The years had left their mark
33:05on her face, and she stared
33:07ahead blankly.
33:09She asked, You see here?
33:11Why do I hear a call?
33:13Melissa, who was
33:15sitting on her lap, smiled
33:17gently and said, Yes,
33:19it's her.
33:21She's here.
33:23The elderly Mrs. Anderson immediately stood up
33:25excitedly. She stretched out her arms
33:27in front of her and grabbed a boot.
33:29She called out, Nora,
33:31you're Nora, right?
33:33Do you look like your mother?
33:35A graceful young lady sat on her.
33:37Right.
33:39She was in her early twenties
33:41and resembled Melissa a little.
33:43She held the elderly Mrs. Anderson's arm
33:45and said, Grandma Nora,
33:47the image of her mother.
33:49She looks just like her.
33:51Melissa laughed and said,
33:53You make it sound like you've met your aunt
33:55before. Back when the
33:57Anderson's eldest daughter had run away
33:59from home, Melissa and Simon
34:01hadn't even married yet.
34:03Even at the wedding, she'd
34:05seen Nora's mother more in photos
34:07and in person. Her daughter
34:09had never met her.
34:11Cheryl Anderson stopped her tongue out
34:13to her mother and replied,
34:15Although I've never met her before,
34:17we are connected by blood.
34:19I felt a sense of kinship,
34:21nor the moment I saw her.
34:23Man,
34:25what a load, a nonsense.
34:27The young man sitting across
34:29from the three of them was a college student
34:31with handsome face and thick hair,
34:33had a wild and unruly look.
34:35Cheryl ignored her brother,
34:37took a brisk step forward instead.
34:39She gently pulled Nora
34:41over to Mrs. Anderson and placed
34:43her hand on the old lady's.
34:45Nora was a little taken aback.
34:47Grown-up myths.
34:49When she was a child,
34:51she'd constantly been ridiculed
34:53for being obese because of her poor health.
34:55She didn't go out much.
34:57She had just stayed in her bedroom
34:59all the time. Initially,
35:01she had still gone downstairs
35:03for her meals. Later on,
35:05Wendy had someone bring her food up
35:07so she didn't even have to
35:09leave her bedroom to eat anymore.
35:11She had been so lonely.
35:13She had always envied
35:15how happy the others looked.
35:17Perfect family of three without her.
35:19At first, she had
35:21longed for their love.
35:23But after so many years of her father
35:25looking at her the way he did,
35:27full of disgust,
35:29she lost
35:31that desire.
35:33He had taken to focusing all her energy
35:35on other things. Computer hacking.
35:37Medicine.
35:39Martial arts.
35:41Determined to become the best.
35:43As a result of her
35:45miserable upbringing.
35:47Nora was rarely this intimate with people
35:49except for Jerry.
35:51Thought it would feel strange, but her touch
35:53is actually quite nice.
35:55Her hands are soft, her skin feels thin,
35:57but I can feel her warmth
35:59through her palms.
36:01Nora, the old lady with no work top.
36:03Her hands were shaking.
36:05You've had such a hard time
36:07all these years.
36:09Seeing that Nora didn't know what to do.
36:11Melissa said,
36:13Nora is here now.
36:15It's already two in the morning.
36:17Why don't we all go to bed?
36:19We can talk tomorrow instead.
36:21Okay.
36:23Mrs. Anderson wiped her tears and said,
36:25Laura, you must be tired to go to bed.
36:27Melissa got Cheryl
36:29to take the old lady to her bedroom
36:31and showed Nora the way upstairs.
36:33Melissa said,
36:35We've kept your mother's room the same
36:37all these years.
36:39Now that you're back, you can use it.
36:41Cherry is already asleep.
36:43By the way,
36:45Nora, I didn't tell anyone that
36:47Mr. Hunt asked you to go to the hospital
36:49to operate on his grandmother.
36:51I was afraid they'd be worried.
36:53Nora didn't want to reveal
36:55her identity either.
36:57She only wanted to stay here quietly
36:59for a few days.
37:01Once Mrs. Hunt woke up,
37:03she would return to California to look
37:05for her son.
37:07She nodded at Melissa gratefully,
37:09but that night, as she was so tired,
37:11she didn't even look around her mother's old room.
37:13She went straight to bed,
37:15snuggling up with her daughter.
37:17When Nora opened her eyes
37:19the next day,
37:21Cherry was no longer by her side.
37:23She's probably playing downstairs,
37:25Nora thought.
37:27She looked around the room
37:29after she got up.
37:31It was twice as large as her bedroom in the house
37:33she'd grown up in in California
37:35and was decorated in white and gray.
37:37She could tell that her mother had been a strong woman.
37:39He showered and walked
37:41into the study part of the room.
37:43It was very clean.
37:45The Andersons were clearly
37:47very caring and thoughtful.
37:49Nora could feel all the love in the house.
37:51The absentmindedly
37:53picked up a book and looked
37:55at cover. It was about
37:57biological science and pharmaceutical
37:59industry. No wonder
38:01my mother found it.
38:03Ideally, in pharmaceuticals,
38:05someone knocked lightly
38:07on the bedroom door.
38:09She opened it and saw Melissa
38:11standing there in a panic, said anxiously.
38:13Nora.
38:15Something's gone wrong at the hospital.
38:17Nora raised an eyebrow.
38:19What happened?
38:21Mr. Hunts just called.
38:23He told me that his grandmother
38:25still hasn't woken up.
38:27He asked you to call him back
38:29as soon as possible.
38:31Nora was bemused.
38:33He was.
38:35I thinking that something really terrible
38:37happened.
38:39She called Justin and heard his deep voice
38:41answer the phone.
38:43Locksmith.
38:45My grandmother still hasn't woken up.
38:47I'm sorry.
38:49She coughed.
38:51That I forgot to tell you yesterday
38:53that because she's so weak,
38:55she most likely won't regain consciousness
38:57for a few more days.
38:59These things take time.
39:01I'm sorry for not explaining all the details.
39:03It's my mistake.
39:05Justin fell silent
39:07for a moment.
39:09Nora thought back to the dispute they had had
39:11in the hallway when she had been busy
39:13checking the old lady's condition
39:15the day before.
39:17Well, it caused you any trouble with your son
39:19and with the rest of your family.
39:21Those are just trivial matters.
39:23Justin paused.
39:25Then he asked,
39:27Don't you have to come back to the hospital
39:29for my grandmother today?
39:31Nora asked him,
39:33Is your son at the hospital with you?
39:35No,
39:37he isn't, she replied.
39:39Okay, it's pointless
39:41for me to come in.
39:43All will be well as long as her vitals
39:45are normal.
39:47I trust the doctors there at the hospital
39:49will be professional when it comes to her
39:51nursing and care.
39:53There's no need for me to be there.
39:55Nice General Hospital
39:57was directly affiliated with the Hunt family.
39:59The wages and benefits
40:01they offered to employees were extremely
40:03attractive.
40:05The most renowned experts in the country
40:07worked with facility in the hospital.
40:09Johnson stood
40:11over her words after he hung up.
40:13He looked through the glass
40:15window on the door to his grandmother's
40:17room in the IQ.
40:19He pursed his lips tightly.
40:21Doubt flickered in his eyes.
40:23Why is she asking about my son again?
40:25It was as if she'd have come.
40:27Pete was here.
40:29Howard noticed his
40:31sullen expression and asked hesitantly,
40:33Is your grandmother alright?
40:35Just.
40:37Justin replied,
40:39She's fine.
40:41Howard nodded.
40:43You know, I don't like Pete.
40:45And of course he's not worthy of being Justin's son.
40:47I care about her.
40:49I hope she'll wake up soon.
40:51He looked back at Justin and noticed
40:53he was frowning as if he was
40:55thinking about the biggest problem in the world.
40:57Are you sure?
40:59Everything's okay?
41:01Justin pondered for a moment
41:03and then decided to talk about
41:05what he was thinking about.
41:07He looked at Howard and asked,
41:09What might be the reason a woman
41:11would show an interest in getting to know Pete?
41:13Howard answered,
41:15It would definitely be
41:17because she wants to marry you and be
41:19his stepmother.
41:21Pete asked hesitantly,
41:23But what if she's very cold and distant
41:25toward me?
41:27Howard scratched his head.
41:29Then he grinned and said with a thinking,
41:31Ah, surely she isn't thinking of
41:33becoming your daughter-in-law,
41:35even though he'll make someone very happy
41:37in the future.
41:39Pete's definitely too young to think about.
41:41Betrothal him to someone?
41:43Justin didn't find the joke funny.
41:45Howard saw the warning look
41:47in his eyes.
41:49He asked carefully,
41:51Justin, if you're free today,
41:53can you take me to the Queen's School
41:55of Martial Arts?
41:57Often glared at him.
41:59He turned and walked out.
42:01Howard hurried after him,
42:03struggling to keep up.
42:05Where are you going?
42:07To go pick up pizza and go to the
42:09Martial Arts School.
42:11Great, and I come to Howard.
42:13Cut up. It won't be quite how I want,
42:15but at least I'll still get to go.
42:17Nora opened her email inbox.
42:19There was an investigation report
42:21and a message that Solo had sent.
42:23Thina,
42:25Justin is surprisingly easy to investigate.
42:27Hacking into his computer
42:29was a walk in the park.
42:31I've attached the document
42:33with all of the information.
42:35Clearly lists everything he's done
42:37from his childhood present day.
42:39So something very strange
42:41to part from his name, Peter Hunt.
42:43Everything else about his son
42:45surely hidden
42:47couldn't find anything at all.
42:49Nora was disappointed.
42:51She opened the file
42:53and looked up the month when she'd got
42:55inexplicably pregnant with the twins,
42:57only to find Justin
42:59hadn't been to California at that time.
43:01To close the mailbox
43:03with what happened yesterday.
43:05Really?
43:07Just an illusion.
43:09Aren't?
43:11We have to find a way to meet Justin's son.
43:13She felt crazy
43:15just thinking about it.
43:17But after five years of 13,
43:19she wasn't going to pass up any possibilities.
43:21Mommy,
43:23didn't you say you're taking me to Grand Park Wednesday?
43:25Cherry ran into the room
43:27wearing a princess dress.
43:29Nora looked at her phone
43:31and saw the text message that Quinn had sent
43:33her early in the morning.
43:35Probably given up waiting for me to reply.
43:37But he still hasn't called me.
43:39He must have been worried
43:41he'd disturb me.
43:43So kind and patient.
43:45That was exactly the sort of person
43:47Queen was.
43:49On the surface,
43:51he seemed like a cheeky old man.
43:53He would jokingly tell Nora off
43:55for being lazy and sleeping so long every day.
43:57Deep down,
43:59he understood that she needed the rest.
44:01Nora smiled
44:03and video called him.
44:05He picked up almost immediately,
44:07reprimanding her loudly.
44:09What's wrong with you?
44:11How can you sleep in until this hour?
44:13It's already afternoon.
44:15If I'd known what had happened
44:17that had sent someone Cherry up a long time ago.
44:19Nora ignored him.
44:21She grinned and pointed the phone camera
44:23at Cherry.
44:25When Nora had been abroad,
44:27they'd often made video calls to each other.
44:29Cherry waved and said, adorably,
44:31Grab a Queen, Mommy,
44:33and I will come and visit you right now.
44:35Good. Good.
44:37Queen spoke to Greybeards and said,
44:39Let's hang up and stop wasting time.
44:41Hurry over.
44:43Nora took Cherry with her
44:45and went downstairs.
44:47She chatted with Melissa and the elderly Mrs. Anderson
44:49and learned that Simon
44:51would be discharged in another couple of days.
44:53After that,
44:55she borrowed their car
44:57and headed to Queen's school.
44:59Half an hour later,
45:01at the school's entrance,
45:03Justin stood with his hands on his hips
45:05at the ancient gates.
45:07The words, Gwyn's Martial Arts Hall,
45:09were writing on the sign above.
45:11Howard, standing behind him,
45:13glanced sideways at Pete
45:15with disdain.
45:17He certainly resembles Justin quite a bit.
45:19No matter how hard
45:21he tries to mimic him,
45:23he's still nothing but a little good for nothing.
45:25His grades are dropping
45:27all the time.
45:29Back in our day,
45:31Justin was always miles ahead of the rest of us.
45:33We know Justin's his dad.
45:35There's no way Mr. Quinn will look twice
45:37at someone like Pete.
45:39You won't be interested in him,
45:41he thought smugly.
45:43He heard footsteps coming towards
45:45and quickly stood up straight.
45:47Quinn came out with his hands clasped
45:49behind his back.
45:51He didn't look very happy to see Justin.
45:53He asked,
45:55What are you doing here?
45:57Is Irvin dead yet?
45:59Justin bowed respectfully
46:01Mr. Quinn,
46:03I'm not here at my teacher's request this time.
46:05I'd like you to teach my son,
46:07Quinn grimaced.
46:09I'm not interested in your son-at.
46:11The words hadn't fully left his mouth
46:13when he spotted Pete.
46:15Cherry.
46:17He exclaimed in surprise.
46:19Thank you so much for watching.
