00:00before listening from episode 46 to episode 50.
00:04Don't forget supporting me by buying for me a coffee from the link in the description
00:09or in the first comment or below the video to motivate me to share all chapters of the book.
00:15Also, don't forget to subscribe, comment, and like.
00:20Quinn stared at Pete. Then he rubbed his eyes and looked at me again.
00:25Even the wrinkles on his face hide his surprise. He had never met Jerry in person.
00:31They had spoken throughout video chat many times over the past five years.
00:35Quinn always thought that people looked a little bigger on camera than they did in real life.
00:41At first, he thought maybe that was why the child in front of him looked smaller
00:46and a little skinnier than Jerry. He was astounded at how similar their facial features were.
00:52This little boy looked practically identical to Jerry. Pete had immediately realized what
00:58Quinn was thinking when he'd heard the instructor exclaim Carrie's name.
01:02He took a step forward with his back to Justin. He looked up and asked meaningfully,
01:09Do you think I look like one of your other students? I know grown-ups think kids all
01:13look the same. Pete gave Quinn a meaningful look. She spoke, trying to send him a message with his
01:21eyes. Quinn caught on quickly. He touched his beard and said with a cough, Yeah, I must have
01:28made a mistake. Inside. Though he was puzzled. He had been on a video call with Jerry only a few
01:35minutes ago. How could she suddenly become Irvine's student's son in the blink of an eye?
01:42Wait, son. Quinn looked back down at the boy. He pointed at Pete and asked Justin,
01:49He's your son. Justin was confused by what Pete had said to Quinn, got the sense that there was
01:55something strange going on. When he heard Quinn's question, he nodded and answered yes. Quinn
02:02swallowed in disbelief and looked down at Pete again. The little boy really did look so much
02:07like Jerry. When thought of Nora, couldn't be that. Justin saw how hesitant and contemplative
02:15Quinn looked, decided to speak up for his son, Mr. Quinn. Since Peter's my son, it would make
02:21sense for him to join the Irvine School of Martial Arts. But I don't think Irvine's style is right
02:27for him. I think he would be better off here. The style you teach is about being bold and confident.
02:34I hope you can accept my son's student. The urban school style tended to rely more on strategy and
02:41cunning, and the students often used insidious tricks when they thought they were famous for
02:46being unpredictable, crafty, and sly, always taking the enemy by surprise. On the other hand,
02:53the students at the Quinn School of Martial Arts practiced a more direct style.
02:58Students gained strength and speed through sheer hard work. Pete was an unusually quiet child,
03:05often lost his own thoughts and seemingly unsure of who he wanted to be.
03:11Justin worried about his future. You wanted him to be strong and capable. He needed to learn to
03:17speak up for himself with confidence. Studying with Quinn seemed like the right way to achieve
03:22this. Justin noticed Quinn was staring at the sun with an expression of disbelief.
03:28Justin's brows drew together and his eyes shone with determination and resolution.
03:34Mr. Quinn, if you're still reluctant, I'll challenge the school. You can decide the rules.
03:40If I manage to win, you'll accept Pete as your student.
03:44He was referring to the unspoken rule of the Quinn School of Martial Arts. Someone seated in
03:52their challenge to the school. Then they could name a favor in return, as long as it was not
03:58immoral or illegal. There was no record of anyone ever seating and challenging the school.
04:05It was proof of the school's high standing in the world of martial arts. Howard was shocked
04:11when he heard Justin's challenge. Does he understand what he just said? The students
04:16there were extremely skilled. Justin, with talented as well, should easily overwhelm him
04:22with their numbers alone. Howard didn't understand why Justin was trying so hard for someone as
04:28undeserving as Pete. He was so quiet, fragile. There was no way Mr. Quinn would find him worthy
04:36to accept as a student. Howard studied the old man's face and realized Quinn was acting as if
04:43he hadn't heard anything that Justin had said. He merely asked emphatically, Are you sure he's a boy?
04:50Justin was still building. How am I supposed to answer that? He wanted to be able to easily say
04:56that it was a boy. With his changing behavior, he didn't know what was the right thing to say
05:02anymore. Keep fresh and darkened with worry. He hurriedly exclaimed, My name is Peter Hunt.
05:11You can call me Pete. Of course, I'm a boy. He practically squeezed the word boy through his
05:17gritted teeth. Quinn raised his head to the sky and last, loudly, looked Pete as if he had found
05:24a rare treasure he had never expected, nor his long-lost son, who he had been searching for over
05:31the last five years to walk into his school. He scanned the boy from head to toe and could tell
05:37that the child had the right stature. He was very well suited to practice martial arts. He turned
05:43back to Justin. I'll accept him as a student. We can start practicing today. You can leave him here
05:50if you have other things to take care of. Justin with fries. Please. Hesitation flickered in his
05:58deep-set eyes. Quinn noticed. Justin seemed unsure about leaving Peter. He asked roughly,
06:06What? You don't trust me? Justin shook his head and replied, Of course I do. It's fine.
06:13Quinn was a respected figure in martial arts circles. He worked with children daily,
06:19knew how they needed to be treated. He was willing to take on as a student just,
06:24and had no reason not to trust. He would treat him the same as his other students.
06:30Quinn placed a hand on Pete's shoulder and was about to take him inside when Howard stepped
06:35forward. Mr. Quinn, my name is Howard. I am a huge admirer of your work. I'd also like to join the
06:42school as your student. Quinn turned his head and glanced at. Scanned him up and down before showing
06:50a touch of disdain. What makes you think you deserve to join us? Howard was taken aback.
06:56He couldn't think of anything to say. Satisfied at the silence when turned and walked in.
07:02Another student had held the door open for them and was about to let it shut when Howard suddenly
07:08shouted, Mr. Quinn, why would you take that weakling but not me? Student frowned at Howard's
07:14harsh words and slammed the door shut. Howard couldn't make sense of what just happened.
07:22He touched his nose with a puzzled fierce look on his face. Why are you so interested in Pete?
07:28What was all that questioning about him being a boy? When it's obvious that he is,
07:33I hope the old guy's not losing his marbles. Justin glanced at him in disgust. I think you're
07:40the one who's losing it. Howard rejected the insult. You might think I'm stupid, but at least
07:46I know I'm smarter than Chester. I really don't understand why Mr. Quinn looked at me like that.
07:53Why do you think he rejected me? Justin turned and walked ahead as he left. He replied, figure it out
08:01yourself. He didn't know why Quentin rejected Howard either, but he wasn't going to admit that
08:07to him in the middle of the spacious hall. Quinn looked gleefully and said, I know you're not a son.
08:14Go ahead and acknowledge me as your teacher. After that, we'll officially be teacher and student.
08:22He was very anxious to begin the training. You didn't want to miss this opportunity.
08:27Pete had to be the one to make the student-teacher relationship between them official. He stared at
08:34me. Then he nodded and said, can you agree not to tell mommy for now? Cherry and I have already
08:41agreed to surprise her with. There were still two days left before his great grandma was supposed
08:46to wake up. He hoped his mother could interact a little more with his father before then.
08:52Maybe she could find something to like about him.
08:57Quinn touched his beard and said, no, I can't. Pete replied calmly. Then I won't acknowledge
09:04you as my teacher. Quinn frowned. Do you think you can threaten me with that?
09:11Even if you don't acknowledge me as your teacher, I still found you. Sleepyhead will be so grateful.
09:18She'll have to let Cherry be my student too. Puzzled, Pete asked, who's Sleepyhead? Your mom.
09:26Pete, speechless. He had never heard anyone call his mother that. They stood and glared at each
09:33other in a stalemate for almost 10 minutes. Then the sound of approaching footsteps interrupts
09:39the standoff. Cherry's voice rang out from outside. Grandpa, Quinn, I'm here.
09:47When immediately raced outside, when he saw Nora, he exclaimed, Nora, I'll tell you a secret.
09:55If you let Jerry come train with me, as she stepped into the school,
10:00Nora looked around admiring the space. The Queen School of Martial Arts within the heart of New
10:06York. The school took up the entire building. It was an unusually large facility, but it just
10:13went to show how established and well-respected the school was. Students in the gym were divided
10:19into several class, all of them shouting energetically as they trained. She rolled her
10:24eyes when she thought of how Quinn had exaggerated the school's weakened state. This didn't look
10:29anything like a school that was weathered and dying out to her. She was annoyed he was trying
10:34to trick her again. Nora scratched at her ears and said, tell me what the secret is,
10:40and I'll decide after that. Quinn was at a loss for words. Everyone else was begging to be his
10:46student. Why was it so difficult to find a successor he liked? He had taken a lot of
10:53trouble to find Nora in the first place, after her mother had turned him down. Nora was talented,
10:59but all she did was sleep. Fortunately, her two children had inherited her good physique.
11:06Quinn's gaze flipped over to Cherry. He thought about Pete, who was still inside the gym.
11:11Many people observed school style tended to suit boys better.
11:15Little Nora had challenged that stereotype with her great talents. Not every student was like her.
11:22After weighing the pros and cons, Quinn decided that the safest bet was to take Pete on as a
11:27student. Nora was always saying that Cherry wasn't very interested in martial arts anyway,
11:33claiming Pete as his new student seemed like the better option. So instead of saying anything else
11:40about it, Quinn coughed and said, forget it. I was just kidding. Nora had guessed that he wasn't
11:47being serious. Shrugging, she accompanied Quinn to the inner courtyard where he lived. Quinn was
11:53wearing his white uniform. Despite being advanced in years, he was thin and energetic. Although his
12:01voice was rough, he exuded a sense of careful attentiveness. Without these traits, he couldn't
12:07have become a master of the art. When the two entered the courtyard, Quinn stretched out his
12:13hand, gestured at Nora. Come on, let's see if you've made any progress lately. Quinn leapt into
12:20an attack. Nora stepped back quickly and evaded him. Then she counterattacked, and they started
12:28to spar earnestly. Between master and student, every single move and action carried a subdued
12:35but sharp and fierce momentum. The pair had a good time sparring for at the end. Even Nora broke out
12:43in a light sweat. She felt refreshed all over. After they were done, Quinn stretched out his
12:50wrists and remarked, I'm surprised you've been able to maintain such a high level of skill
12:56by slacking off. You're a wild one indeed. If you took the time to practice, you would definitely
13:02surpass me. He shrugged and replied dispassionately, I'll also be able to surpass you when I'm your age
13:10and you're not around anymore. Quinn was rendered so speechless by her retort that he couldn't be
13:16bothered to be mad anymore. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but asked persistently,
13:22you really don't intend to have Terry study martial arts? Nora shook her head. She doesn't
13:28need it. Nora practiced martial arts to train and strengthen her body. She had struggled with her
13:35weight and overall health at a young age. Cherry had always been strong and healthy, even as a baby.
13:43Sides. Cherry was a little princess. The way her aunt had raised her had turned her into a very
13:49delicate little girl who wouldn't tolerate the discomfort of an activity like martial arts.
13:55With Nora Foster to practice, she would probably burst into tears and start wailing.
14:01Nora figured it wasn't worth the trouble. Quinn had no choice to give up. It just figures that
14:07you'd have your mother's temperament too. Nora's interest was suddenly piqued. She asked, old man,
14:15did you know my mother? Can you tell me about her? Quinn stroked his white beard and smiled as he
14:21replied, your mother. She was a legend in New York. Nora was taken aback. Quinn pointed to the table
14:29in the courtyard. Nora followed him and walked over. Although she was usually cheeky when she
14:35talked to him, she still knew how to demonstrate respect. After sitting down, she obediently picked
14:42up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea. Quinn sat on the bench and took from his teacup.
14:47When your mom was young, she was amazingly talented and brilliant. They called her the
14:53most talented woman in New York. At that time, many young men proposed her. She brought a lot
14:59of pride to the Anderson family. Even the Hunts thought it would be an honor to have her in the
15:05family. She rejected them in the end, though, he chuckled. She had a backbone all right. I, for one,
15:14don't think much of the Hunt, especially that student of Irvin. Quinn and Irvin always argued
15:20whenever they met. Nora listened with great interest when she noticed that Quinn had finished
15:26his tea. She poured him another cup and pressed him to continue. And then Quinn grunted and went on.
15:34I had just achieved some success in my training and made a name for myself. I wanted to take on
15:41a student and I wanted it to be your mom, but she rejected my offer. After that, she disappeared.
15:48At this point, she stroked his beard and said, I don't know why. She suddenly ran away from home.
15:56Some say that she was kidnapped for her beauty. That's all nonsense. I thought she was so fierce.
16:04Who would have been able to kidnap her? He then came to me two years later.
16:10She asked me to take you as my student when she became five or six years old
16:15and help you become strong and capable. She told me then she was dying.
16:22Quinn sighed and said, by the time I found you with the information she gave me,
16:27she was already gone. He took her hand and said, listen, don't be sad. She only lived to be 26
16:34years old. She had an exciting life. She lived well. There was just one person she let down.
16:41Curious to know more, Nora sat upright. Who was it? Quinn put down his teacup.
16:48Have you heard of the Smiths of New York? Nora shook her head. She needed so much rest every
16:54day. Didn't have much energy to keep up with the news about all the wealthy and influential
16:59families. Quinn said, the Smiths and the Hunts were equally powerful and they were really in
17:06fierce competition with each other back then. The previous head of the Hunt family was nothing
17:12compared to that Smiths fellow. Your mom was engaged to him for a while. When I heard that
17:18your last name was Smith, I thought that she had been pregnant with his child, but unfortunately,
17:24that was not the case with me. Speaking of your father, what a pig. Your mom was so picky her
17:32entire life. How did she end up with a misogynistic scumbag like him? Nora didn't know.
17:39Puzzled her too. Anyway, the head of the Smith family at that time was a very ambitious man.
17:45With him leading the family, they nearly managed to surpass the Hunts in status and wealth.
17:52When your mom went missing, later he fell into a deep slump, gave the Hunts a chance to catch up,
17:59and the two families were even for a while when Justin Hunt took over the family business. He led
18:06them to completely surpass the Smiths. Quinn shook his head after the head of the Smith family
18:11retired. He got his nephew to lead instead. I don't think he ever got over losing your mom.
18:18He never got married. Once, Nora was astounded by what she heard.
18:23My mom really did let him down. Quinn nodded in agreement. Nora asked his name. Quinn smiled and
18:31answered, Ion. Ion Smith, she suddenly thought, company that her mother had left behind. Its name,
18:41ideally in pharmaceuticals, had the name Ion incorporated into it. Then Quinn spoke again.
18:49You should know there are rumors that he's become seriously ill. It sounds like he won't survive
18:54past this year. It's too bad. He was quite the hero back then. After he finished his last tea,
19:01Quinn stood up and said, all right, you can rest here for a while. I'm going to go and check on
19:07the two children. One point three's out of the corner of his eye. He had spotted Cherry and
19:13Pete Lee meeting up. He was itching to officially claim Pete as a student after Quinn left.
19:20Nora thought carefully about her mother's past. It took several moments for her to realize what
19:25Quinn had said as he left two children. Once, she hadn't seen any other small children apart from
19:31Cherry, who was the other child. She stood up abruptly and walked toward the gym. Before Nora
19:38even entered the gym, she heard Quinn's voice coming from within. Steady, steady now. Persevere.
19:48This is a basic skill part, right? Here is what makes us Quinn School of Martial Arts better than
19:54the Urban School. Martial arts aren't something that can be learned overnight. You must take
20:00your time to lay a solid foundation. Nora pushed the door open and entered to see that apparently
20:06Cherry had changed into a set of men's sportswear at some point and was practicing her form.
20:12Quinn had his back to. Nora was talking to her. He said, since you're now my student, you'll have
20:20to listen to what I say. From now on, you must practice this stance for half an hour every
20:26morning after you wake up. Your mother is too lazy, has always been disobedient since she was a child.
20:33Don't be like her. Pete, as it really was Pete who was training, not Cherry,
20:38facing the door, spotted Nora as she peeked in. He was lost for words.
20:45He pressed his lips, stood up straight. Surprised, Quinn exclaimed,
20:50why aren't you doing it anymore? He's given up already. You? He interrupted him. Mommy.
20:57Quinn's Kitchen. Then he slowly turned around to see Nora leaning against the wall.
21:03Her arms were casually folded in, her eyebrows slightly raised. Quietly watched the two of them.
21:10Quinn knew she tended to cause trouble when she adopted a casual attitude. He stammered,
21:15I'm Nora. Nora, old man. Did you tempt her with rewards or threaten her with punishment?
21:22Neither. It's nothing like that. Nora looked at Pete again and asked hesitantly,
21:29Jerry, do you really want to learn martial arts? He nodded firmly. He felt that if he learned
21:35martial arts, he could protect his mom and Cherry the next time. His dad was rude to them. Nora was
21:41stunned. Carrie took after her in personality and was usually lazy and easygoing. She disliked
21:48strict rules. Nora was surprised that she had taken an interest in martial arts, but she had
21:54always tried to respect Cherry's wishes. After thinking about it for another moment, he agreed.
22:00All right. He looked for Quinn and said, I'll send her here at seven a.m. Sharp tomorrow. But
22:08today we have a few more stops to make, so it's time for us to go. After she spoke,
22:14she stretched out her hand to Pete. Pete stepped forward, took her hand and followed her out the
22:20door. Quinn was due, stunned and dazed to stop them and tell her that it wasn't her daughter
22:26who she was leaving with. He was still in a daze when Cherry, who had just gone to the bathroom,
22:32ran over in her princess dress. Huh. Why? Kate, Quinn was at a loss for words. Right after Terry
22:41spoke, her cell phone beeped. She picked it up and immediately saw a message from Pete. Cherry,
22:49I went home with mommy. Daddy will pick you up in the evening. We'll flick back tomorrow. Cherry was
22:56excited to see her handsome daddy again. Carrie jumped up into Quinn's hand. Grandpa, Quinn,
23:03when is daddy coming to pick me up? Five zero this evening. Then I still have two hours left.
23:10What shall we do? Do you have any Barbies? No, I'm sorry. Can I play games on your phone? No.
23:20Quinn frowned. No, it's bad for your eyes. Jerry pounded in disappointment. He asked Grandpa Quinn,
23:30don't you have anything fun to do around here? After being taken aback for a moment, suddenly
23:36thought of something and answered. Oh, yes, we do. Five zero that evening, Justin drove over to the
23:44school to pick up his son. He was feeling good and calm. He hoped the school style had been a good
23:50match for Pete. He was looking forward to seeing his son shouting and kicking confidently with the
23:57rest of the students. With that in mind, he entered the school. He immediately saw a group of students
24:05dressed in white sportswear training in the compound. To them, his son was wearing a white
24:10princess dress and pointing at one of them with his eyes all lit up. Grandpa Quinn. Number five
24:17is the most handsome. Number nine is also very cool. Or should I be 30? Five. Justin felt like
24:26his mind was cracking open. Meanwhile, Nora hadn't reached home yet. Instead, she was inside Guardian
24:33Pharmacy, the natural remedy shop, select some herbs and wait them out on a scale. Attract a
24:40load of Lancia wolfberry, chrysanthemum, corn, Romania, then probium. After Nora adjusted the
24:46herbs proportions, she handed them to the pharmacist, said, please use these to make up
24:52some pills and use these to make an ointment for external usage. I'll come over and pick them up
24:59tomorrow. The pharmacist smiled as he replied. Sure, no problem. Nora had been a generous customer.
25:08Of course, he was happy to help. After that, Nora took Pete home. He had been too tired the day
25:14before to attend to the elderly Mrs. Anderson properly. But that morning, she had performed a
25:20much more thorough assessment. She had found that the woman's loss of vision had been caused by
25:26strain and overwork, leading to optic nerve damage. There was no need for surgery. She just needed to
25:33be more careful and give herself time to recover. With the help of the GP's, Nora managed to find
25:40her way back to the Anderson's. Before she even entered, she saw Melissa standing at the door.
25:46She was wearing a knitted dress and looked elegant and dignified. When she saw their car,
25:52her brows drew together in worry. It was only when she parked the car in front of the villa,
25:58Nora spotted a luxury Lincoln Town car that was also parked there.
26:02She assumed that a wealthy guest must also be visiting when she got out of the car. Melissa
26:08hurried over and said, Nora, your other aunt heard you're here. So she came over to visit.
26:15In total, Mrs. Anderson had two daughters and a son. Nora's mother had been the eldest,
26:22while Simon was the third child. In the middle was her second child, Sheena Anderson.
26:29Nora nodded. She was about to take Pete with her and enter the house when Melissa held her wreath,
26:35said apologetically, she has a foul mouth. Whatever she says, don't take it to heart.
26:41Nora was taken aback for a moment. You could vaguely hear an Arab voice coming through the
26:46door. Yet she married a man like that in the end. Her daughter grew up in California,
26:52far away from everybody, and has never even gone to college. Mom, you always said I wasn't as good
26:59as her. But look at us now. I've done much more for this family. She ever did have and I,
27:06Mrs. Anderson scolded her. How can you say things like that? It doesn't matter what Nora's done or
27:12not done. She's your sister's daughter. She's part of our family. Oh, we, we had to work so hard to
27:20recover the family's reputation. After what her mother did. You'd better keep an eye on her and
27:27make sure she doesn't embarrass us to Melissa cough gently announced she and Nora were about
27:33coming. Then she called out mom. Sheena Nora's back. Only then did Nora and she immediately saw
27:43an attractive pompous woman who resembled Simon sitting on the sofa. Sheena was 46 years old,
27:49but she looked much younger. She was wearing a professional suit and carried herself with
27:54maturity and charm. Compared with Melissa's grave. She seemed sharp and bossy. After Nora entered,
28:03her gaze fell on to Pete right away. Fuming. She was looking at cherry. She asked disdainfully.
28:11So this is your daughter. She must be five this year. Right? Can she play the piano or dance?
28:19Can she do calligraphy? Well, little girl, do you take advanced math classes? What are your
28:26extracurricular activities? Pete, who had been receiving an elite education since he was a
28:32toddler, was bewildered by her attitude. Sheena smirked. She had thrown a ton of questions in
28:39rapid succession at her niece's child on purpose to embarrass Nora. Sheena was confident Nora was
28:46too much of an ignorant country girl to have given her child a quality education. Nora kept
28:52her gaze lowered and was silent. Melissa hurried between them to play peacemaker. Sheena cherry grew
29:00up abroad. Nora. They value quality education over there. She's been brought up very well.
29:08Tina leaned on the sofa. She acted as if she owned the place. Quality education is ridiculous.
29:15They don't offer anything compared to what we offer our children. Parents that are worth anything in
29:20this country put their children through strict private education from an early age. Her eyes
29:26were like blazing torches as she looked. Nora, so you're Nora. It's a pity you're all grown up.
29:35Didn't have the chance to really make something of yourself. But you're my sister's child. So of
29:41course I'll take care of you. Fight the stories I've heard. Pregnant for your wedding. Dumped by
29:47your fiancé. That just won't do. I'll find you a nice rich husband to take care of you for the
29:53rest of your life. As for your daughter, she looked Pete and scanned the child up and down.
30:00Then, with a forced display of charity, she said five years old is a late start compared to the
30:06other children around here. But there's at least still hope for her. Nora had a very cold look in
30:11her eyes. She smiled sarcastically and said, you're very kind, but you don't need to bother.
30:19I'll take care of my daughter's education myself. Her daughter had an extremely high Ike. She was
30:25only interested in games. Cherry's education was becoming a huge headache. In particular,
30:33her knowledge of history had gotten all jumbled to her time abroad. But none of this meant that
30:38others were free to criticize her child. You're going to take care of her education, Sheena said
30:44coldly. What are you going to teach her how to play games on her cell phone? How to have a chaotic
30:50life ruin her own marriage when she grows up? Gina, Mrs. Anderson reprimanded her, causing her
30:56to scowl in annoyance. Vanessa even frowned and said reproachfully, Sheena, I know you mean well.
31:04You're being too harsh, Sheena sneered. I just want her to understand it's not easy to be a child of
31:10a wealthy family. There are high expectations for me. She glanced at Nora and Sherry and said,
31:17I know this is all new to you. I'll show you my daughter Lena's progress in her studies.
31:23Maybe that will help you understand what I mean when I talk about education.
31:27She turned to her daughter, Lena. Sweetie, come here for a moment. Lena was six years old.
31:35Tina had given birth to her later in life at 40 years old. The little girl ran in from the next
31:41room. She was wearing an expensive dress and looked adorable at her mother's direction.
31:47She stood in the center of the group as if about to perform. She raised her chin and declared
31:53proudly, I know two foreign languages, Spanish and French, and can speak both fluently. He recited a
32:01few lines in both languages flawlessly with her poise and excellent pronunciation. It was an
32:09impressive display when she was finished. She looked at Pete triumphantly. Sheena raised her
32:16chin proudly along with her. She looked at Nora and asked, and what about Sherry? Nora was about
32:23to speak when Pete's lips suddenly parted. He spoke in a language that no one in the room
32:28recognized. Stunned, Lana asked. What was that? Pete calmly replied. It's Arabic, not very common.
32:39So I'm not surprised you don't recognize it. Mommy has taught me eight different languages.
32:45Lena was embarrassed, but she refused to be beaten, she said. I've also participated in many
32:52competitions and took second place in a children's calligraphy competition. I also got second place
32:58in a robotics competition for junior. Puzzles the proud way she said this. Pete frowned.
33:05Second place. I'm sorry you lost. Lena was confused. Furiously, she went on. I can recite
33:13300 poems and spell 1,500 words. I've also learned programming and Olympiad. Level math.
33:21Pete pursed his lips inside. Poems aren't hard to memorize and recite, and programming is easy
33:28to learn. You only need to look at it once or twice. She took Nora's hand and said,
33:34let's go upstairs, Mommy. Aunt Sheena probably still has something to talk to Grandma and Aunt
33:39Melissa about. Let's not disturb them anymore. He led Nora up the stairs, leaving the dumb-founded
33:47Andersons behind. When they reached their rooms, Nora quickly closed the door. Then she turned
33:53around. Pete put them down on the sofa to study him. Nora knew Cherry hated language studies.
34:00He couldn't imagine when or why Cherry would have learned those lines in Arabic.
34:05Something was definitely not right. She was about to ask Pete when her cell phone suddenly rang and
34:11interrupted her thoughts. Nora picked up the call. The moment she did, she heard Henry's voice from
34:18the other end. Nora, you've got some nerve. How dare you have the company dividends sent to your
34:25bank account? What am I supposed to live on now? Give that money back right now. Nora replied
34:32coolly, why is it my responsibility to make sure you have money? Yeah, Henry was too furious.
34:40After a few deep breaths, he said viciously, I see your buddies with the Andersons now,
34:47so you're leaving me behind. Are you trying to cut me off? I won't let you get away with it.
34:54You want to get rid of me. It's going to cost you $8 million. Does that still sound worth to you?
35:01Nora's eyes darkened. She couldn't believe he was asking for so much. When he heard her silence,
35:08Henry laughed and said, I know you don't have any money, but the Andersons do. They wouldn't want
35:13me to show up in New York and embarrass them, would they? Nora couldn't believe how shameless he was
35:19being. But after she thought about it for a moment, the corners of her lips curled upward.
35:25Is that all you want? Okay, I'll transfer the money to you right away. First, tell me where
35:33you sent my son. After a short pause. Finally, Henry agreed. Fine, send the money and then I'll
35:42tell you. After ending the call, Nora tapped away on her cell phone. It was easy for her to write a
35:50simple Trojan horse malware program. When it was ready, she sent it to Henry. The program would
35:57show fake funds, transfer information when it reached him. When he opened the message, Nora
36:04would gain immediate access to his cell phone, allowing her to eavesdrop on him. He would never,
36:11ever send him money. After she finished all this, she used her cell phone to monitor the
36:17conversation on the other side. She heard Wendy's voice first. Did she do it? Has the money been
36:24transferred? Yes, it has. You've never mentioned her sons were about in all these years, Henry.
36:33Where exactly did you abandon him? Henry sent us to laugh and replied her son. He died a long time
36:39ago. I watched him take his last breath and then I buried him. She wants him back so bad I can tell
36:46her exactly where to dig, but all she'll find is a pile of bones. Nora felt as if a bomb had been
36:53dropped in her mind. Her grip on the cell phone loosened and it fell to the ground. Damn it.
37:00No wonder Henry had refused to tell her anything all this time. No wonder. None of the private
37:06investigators have been able to find a single clue. Her vision went blurry. Large teardrops slid down
37:13her cheeks. He's dead. He died a long time ago. She knew it was her fault for not protecting her son.
37:22He clenched her face tightly. Fingernails dug sharply into her palms. Yet she didn't feel the
37:28pain there. Pain was elsewhere. She felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart. It hurt so much.
37:37She struggled to take a breath. She bent down, blood roaring in her ear.
37:42Suddenly, she felt small arms wrap around her. Nora raised her head and saw a small face stained
37:50with tears from shock and fright. Pete's mouth opened and closed as he repeated something over
37:56and over. First, she was too distraught to understand him, but finally his words made it
38:02through. Mommy, don't cry. I'm right here. I'm still alive. Nora was as pale as a sheet.
38:12She thought back to the day her son was born five years ago. He had gone into labor early. He could
38:18remember the private clinic very clearly. The white paint on the walls had been peeling and
38:24the light in the delivery room had been dim. There had only been one doctor and a nurse on call.
38:30Nora remembered thinking that they look untrustworthy. She had lain on the cold
38:34delivery bed, undressed, sweating and alone, so I didn't remember the actual labor pains anymore.
38:41All she remembered was the precious little hand he picked out of the blanket her son was swaddling.
38:49She remembered seeing that hand reaching for her as her father walked away with the baby in her
38:55arms. His hand had been so small, barely the size of her finger, she had wanted to get up
39:01and take her child back. Pain had been too much. She had gotten up at that moment.
39:08She would have had to ignore the urge to push in. The child still in her womb would not have
39:13survived. Nora felt as if all the air in her chest had been sucked away and she couldn't breathe.
39:21I chose my daughter over my son. Over the year, she had made countless phone calls to Henry,
39:27pleading with him to tell her the truth. He had never helped her. She had always had a feeling
39:33deep down in her heart that her son was already dead. Otherwise, why would he still refuse to
39:39reveal the boy's whereabouts, even after the Greys had agreed to cancel the engagement?
39:45Nora could have made more of an effort to spy on him after she had returned to the States.
39:50She had been too afraid. She had been afraid of hearing a terrible truth.
39:55She wanted to hold on to hope. He thought she knew why Cherry, who had always been a sweet,
40:02vain, and pretentious little princess, had suddenly started asking for boy's clothes.
40:07You must have been pretending to be a boy to cheer her up, take away a bit of her pain.
40:14She looked at her tearful daughter in front of her and she heard what Pete said. She forced a
40:19smile and choked up as she said, You don't have to come for me, Cherry. Pete was afraid.
40:26The boy, who had been quiet and calm since he was a baby, was crying so hard to face,
40:32was covered in tears. His mom looked sick and pale. Her usually calm eyes were filled with
40:38despair and emptiness. Tears were rolling down her cheeks in controllability and her
40:43breathing sounded ragged. He seemed as if she were about to collapse and pass out any moment.
40:49He panicked. He grabbed Nora's hand and shouted, Mummy, I'm not lying. I'm Pete. I'm Peter Hunt,
40:56not Cherry. I'm not your daughter. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have kept a secret from you.
41:04Nora was silent. Her eyes glazed over and unfocused. Mummy, look at me. I'm your son.
41:12I was wrong. I won't lie to you again. I promise. Nora's eyes gradually regained focus.
41:19The wheels in her head began to turn. She looked hate. What did you say? I thought all of it
41:26sounded ridiculous. Yet, as he cried, she thought over the last few days and wondered at how strange
41:33Cherry's behavior had become. She suddenly stopped playing games and started to read.
41:38She would occasionally become very quiet. Now, all of a sudden, she could speak fluent Arabic.
41:45Everything in front of her became vague and surreal for a moment. Nora couldn't tell whether
41:50this was a dream or reality. With her eyes filled with confusion, she asked, Really?
41:57Once, Mummy, it's true. He put his arms around her waist with his little face raised.
42:03He said, Cherry and I look exactly the same. She's my sister, but my name is Peter Hunt,
42:10and my father is Justin Hunt. Nora stared at him. I don't understand it. If you're paints,
42:18then we're scary. He'd see that she didn't quite believe him. He was worried she would
42:25become upset and confused again. So he set his jaw and said, Come with me. He held Nora's hand
42:32in his own, and the two of them went back downstairs. Sheena was still ranting. She may
42:39be a child. She talks eight languages. She's probably just learned a phrase so that she can
42:45brag to people. Right? How dare she look down on Lee in a second-place award? She's probably never
42:52even gotten third place in anything. That's enough. The elderly Mrs. Anderson slammed her
42:58white cane against the floor. She's your sister's only daughter. She's been through a lot, Sheena
43:04screamed. She's been through a lot. What about me? She hadn't run away from home. Our reputation
43:14wouldn't become so terrible. My engagement wouldn't have been ruined. We had to put up so
43:20many rumors and lies because of her. Melissa sighed deeply. Everyone had loved Nora's mother.
43:28That was why they were so upset with her. Even Sheena had once been proud of her sister.
43:34She was about to console Sheena when she heard someone coming down the stairs.
43:38She turned to see Nora and Cherry coming down. He said, It's late. Nora, where are the two of you
43:45going? Pete was very anxious and clung to his mother's side. Nora was too emotionally overwrought.
43:53Clearly, she didn't answer. Two of them left the house without a word.
43:59A look of confusion came over Melissa's face. Mrs. Anderson, who couldn't see, asked anxiously,
44:06What's the matter in your leave? Was it because of Sheena? Sheena, get Nora back here.
44:13She leaves. Then you can forget about ever coming back here to see me. Sheena was also dumbfounded.
44:20Her sharp and fierce expression cracked, but she nevertheless curled her lip and scoffed.
44:26She can leave if she wants to be very happy to see her being a little more independent
44:31instead of relying on us. Melissa panicked and replied. Nora has never once said that
44:38she intends to rely on us. She's a doctor. She can support herself. If you don't like her,
44:45then you can stay away. With that, she ran after Nora. Unfortunately, she was too late to catch
44:53her. Nora had already started the car and driven away. Little Pete sat next to her in the passenger
45:00seat with his seatbelt buckled and his cell phone in hand. He read out the instructions to get to
45:05the Hunter State. Turn right and then turn left. The third intersection. He knew his mom was scared
45:13and needed to see him and Sherry together before she could feel at ease. He didn't want to hide
45:18anything from her anymore. Nora stayed silent as she drove. Half an hour later, they pulled up to
45:25the gates of a villa complex. The security guards. The gates were stern and refused to let them in
45:32at first. One of the guards recognized these and immediately greeted him respectfully.
45:38Welcome back, Mr. Hunt. Nora, who had a stern look on her face,
45:42stared intently ahead of her. He had already calmed down during the drive.
45:47She believed most of what he had said, or at least she desperately wanted to. She was scared.
45:54She needed to see both children standing in front of her together before she could really believe it.
46:00The guards gave them clearance and she drove into the villa complex.
46:04Mommy, go to Villa number eight. Nora obediently stopped the car at the villa entrance.
46:12She staggered out of the car and knocked on the door. She rang the doorbell and a few seconds
46:17later, someone opened the door. Terry's adorable little head popped out and she looked around.
46:24Who? Mommy. Jackson's voice was close behind her. Who's at the door? Pete?
