I boned the meat for you so it wouldn't be a fuss.

Here. Enjoy it with the hot broth.

Mister.

Eating well leads to a healthy child.

Dig in.

You know that the highlight of pork back-bone stew

is the potato, right?

Crush it up and enjoy it with your rice.

It's good, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

I knew you'd enjoy this.

From what I hear,

my mother craved this

when she was pregnant with me.

Dig in. Here you go.

Have more meat and green onions.

I sliced some pears for you

and there is jujube tea in the thermos.

Be sure to have some.

All right. Thank you for that.

I put some salad in the fridge

and the rice has been cooked.

Have some when you're hungry.

Don't skip your meals.

That's how you'll beat this illness.

I'll get going then.

Right, I'll make sure to eat.

Will we be able to see each other again?

Sure. I'll be back some other time.

Right. Get home safely then.

My gosh.

Oh, no.

Are you all right? My goodness.

- Oh, no. / - Leave.

Where did he go in the middle of the night?

Hold on. My goodness.

You haven't made pumpkin porridge in a while.

It looks delicious.

Hey, Mom.

When Seryeon wakes up,

enjoy some together with mulkimchi on the side.

By the way, I woke up and Dandan wasn't here.

I don't think she came home last night.

She texted me saying she was staying at a friend's.

Is that so?

I'll get going then.

Where are you going with this early in the morning?

It's for that woman.

What did you just say?

Are you heading over to Anna Kim's place?

Yes.

I'm going to ask her to eat this,

receive her surgery, and make a full recovery.

If she dies,

Soochul will hate me forever.

Dandan will too.

I'm glad you changed your perspective.

What comes first is to make sure she lives.

Besides, it's never wrong

to be generous.

You will be rewarded for your kindness someday.

I'm sure that Soochul will forever be grateful.

Get going then.

Sure.

My poor daughter.

She now has to look after the woman

who abandoned her adopted child.

It breaks my heart to think about it.

Dandan?

Mom.

Why are you here?

Didn't you say you were staying at a friend's?

Is this where you spent the night?

Is this the friend's house you were talking about?

Mom, it's...

Were you taking care of her in your father's absence?

Did he ask you to?

No, Mom. I came here of my own accord.

Dad doesn't know anything.

She was in too much pain last night, so...

I apologize.

I shouldn't have let Dandan stay.

It's all my fault.

This isn't right, you know.

Wasn't stealing my husband enough?

Did you have to take Dandan too?

Do you have no shame?

I truly am sorry. I really am.

Dandan, go with your mother.

Dandan, there's no need to come back home.

Stay here with your mother, okay?

Mom!

Dandan, go to her.

I should've made her leave sooner. What have I done?

Once again, my greed got the best of me.

Mom, I'm sorry. I really am.

For lying about staying at a friend's house.

When you said you were on my side,

I thought you'd understand what I was going through.

So how could you do this to me?

You even lied about staying at a friend's house.

Did you think I'd stop you from coming here?

This...

This feels like a betrayal.

How could you also treat me this way?

Mom, I'm sorry. It was wrong of me.

Ms. Kim was in pain and kept throwing up.

I just couldn't leave her like that.

I knew you'd be upset if I told you,

so I lied about where I was staying.

I'm so sorry.

I hate Ms. Kim so much,

but I feel

so bad for her.

I'm sorry to ask you this,

but can't you understand me just this once?

Mom.

Let go of me.

Mom?

Mom!

Yeonsil.

Please

forgive me just this once.

Let me

be with her.

Allow me to be by her side

until her surgery is over.

Please.

I'm begging you.

I hate Ms. Kim so much,

but I feel so bad for her.

I'm sorry to ask you this,

but can't you understand me just this once?

You're back.

Are you all right?

Hey, Mom.

Go.

Help that woman stay alive.

I know you still want to be with her.

Her well-being is all you can think about.

So go to her

instead of being an empty shell around here.

Honey, that's not true.

Please don't say it like that.

She's Dandan's birth mother.

That's why I wanted to help her. For Dandan's sake.

There's nothing more to it.

That's why I'm telling you to go to her.

Do whatever you can to make sure she lives.

This is the only way you won't end up resenting me.

You being at ease

is how I can find peace too.

So just go.

Honey.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

You jerk.

I can't believe you actually left.

You left even without looking back.

Dandan's mother, hello.

Ms. Kim,

my husband will be there soon.

I allowed it,

so order him around as much as you want.

Receive your surgery, make it out alive,

and make a full recovery.

Only then will I be at ease.

Ms. Cha, wait!

What on earth did she mean by that?

Jiyoung?

Jiyoung.

Soochul.

Why are you back here?

I told you not to come.

My wife allowed it.

I'll be by your side until you fully recover.

Soochul, please.

You shouldn't have come even if your wife said okay.

Do you really believe you're helping me?

How is this for my sake?

It's not.

You're only making it worse for me.

You're dragging me down even further.

You're making me out to be a bad person.

Jiyoung.

Soochul, don't...

Don't come back here again.

I don't want to inflict more pain on your wife.

- Jiyoung... / - I've already hurt her enough.

I don't ever want to hurt her again.

So please go back home now.

I'm begging you.

This is not helping me at all.

You can't manage on your own though.

This surgery isn't a joke, you know.

It'll only be until your surgery is over.

Soochul.

If you keep insisting,

I'll disappear

and die where no one can find me.

I mean it. I won't even receive my surgery.

All right.

I get it.

I hear you loud and clear.

Just stay here and don't go anywhere.

Receive your surgery.

Stay strong

and overcome this illness.

I came to apologize.

I'm so sorry.

What I did was unforgivable.

What has gotten into you?

I told you to make use of my husband.

I don't get why you're declining.

Isn't this what you wanted?

Of course, it's not.

It's true

that I once had selfish thoughts.

I shouldn't have,

but I used money as leverage

to take Soochul and Dandan with me to the US.

And now,

I'm being punished for it.

Don't worry about Soochul and Dandan.

I will

head to the US without anyone knowing.

I'll quietly disappear.

I'm so sorry.

What?

You're going to the US?

You'll quietly disappear?

Unbelievable.

Even until the end, all you think about is yourself.

If you leave the country in that state,

how will that make the others feel?

What about me?

Are you trying to make me the villain here?

No, of course not.

I just know that I wronged you.

Then what should I do?

Could you perhaps tell me?

I'll do whatever you want.

Receive this surgery,

make a full recovery, and then go to the US.

That is what everybody wants.

So don't disappear as if you're being considerate.

Don't make people worry about you.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Your kindness and generosity...

I will never forget it.

Thank you so much

for raising Dandan into the fine young lady.

I'm sorry about everything.

Stop this, will you? You're driving me crazy.
