00:00My daughter, Ruby Pratt, had leukemia.
00:02She needed a bone marrow transplant, and fast.
00:06Out of everyone in the family, my husband, Dan Pratt, was the only full match.
00:11I begged him for 28 days before he finally agreed to donate.
00:16But on the morning of the surgery, he went completely off the grid.
00:21I stood outside the hospital all day, waiting.
00:25No calls, no texts, not even a shadow.
00:31That night, his childhood friend, Valerie Kinder, posted on Instagram.
00:36Dan was holding her hand with one arm and carrying her young son with the other, on a beach in
00:41Lulubo City.
00:42Dan cleared his whole schedule to join our month-long trip.
00:45My little boy said Uncle Dan made his ocean dream come true.
00:49Pure joy.
00:51I had spent an entire month trying to keep Ruby alive.
01:00Dan had cleared his schedule, too.
01:03Just not for the daughter whose life depended on him.
01:09Not Uncle.
01:10From now on, he's your son's father.
01:22My heart splintered.
01:23While I was drowning in worry over my daughter, he was off playing happy family with them.
01:29Babe, don't be like this.
01:31You're not being fair.
01:33Valerie's son has been bullied at school for not having a dad.
01:36I couldn't stand seeing him hurt, so I took them on this trip.
01:40It was supposed to help him heal.
01:44I'll catch the first flight back tomorrow and head straight to the hospital to donate the marrow.
01:49I promise.
01:50I hung up with a bitter smile.
01:52He was promising me tomorrow as if Ruby's life could simply wait for his schedule.
01:59Behind that door, Ruby was running out of time.
02:17I stood in the morgue, staring at Ruby, who would never open her eyes again.
02:23The weight of it crushed my chest until I could barely breathe.
02:27She had been so sweet, so full of life.
02:31And all I could do was watch her slip away.
02:35Powerless to save her.
02:37A month ago, Ruby was diagnosed with leukemia.
02:41My world collapsed in an instant.
02:43I had every member of our family tested for a match.
02:46Every day waiting for those results was its own kind of hell.
02:49The preliminary results came back, and only Dan Pratt was a full match.
02:54But the moment he got the news, he packed his bags and started making plans to leave the country.
02:59I tried to stop him.
03:02While I was tending to Ruby at the hospital, he slipped away.
03:05This deal is huge.
03:07If I close it, we'll never have to worry about money again.
03:09Ruby will have access to the best care in the world.
03:11I'm doing this for us.
03:12Please.
03:14She needs you.
03:19Dan left anyway.
03:21The day after, he landed overseas.
03:24The final match results came in.
03:26I called him like a mad woman, over and over, begging him to come back and save our daughter.
03:32For the next 28 days, I begged him every single day.
03:35He deflected.
03:36He made excuses.
03:37He turned me down coldly every time.
03:39By the 28th day, Ruby had taken a sudden turn for the worse.
03:43I searched every bone marrow registry in the country.
03:47Nothing.
03:48No match.
03:50Mommy, is Daddy mad at me?
03:53Is that why he won't come home?
03:55I'll be so good from now on.
03:57I promise I won't make him upset again.
03:59It hurts so much, Mommy.
04:01I really miss Daddy.
04:04Even her lead doctor could not stand to watch anymore.
04:07He called Dan himself and told him, in no uncertain terms, that Ruby was critical.
04:11That there was no more time to waste.
04:12Mr. Pratt, if you don't come back now, your daughter may not survive.
04:15Fine.
04:16I'll take the first flight back.
04:18That finally got through to him.
04:20Dan agreed to come back and donate the marrow.
04:23For one fragile moment, I thought there was still hope.
04:27Papa Dan?
04:29I only have one wish left.
04:34But then I heard that sweet, familiar voice in the background.
04:38Papa Dan.
04:39It was Valerie's son, Theo.
04:43Papa Dan, you already helped me check off 29 things on my bucket list.
04:49Only one is left.
04:51Seeing the northern lights.
04:55This is my very last wish.
04:58Will you come with me?
05:05Dan's heart melted on the spot.
05:07He said yes, without a second thought.
05:11Of course.
05:11Papa Dan will take you.
05:15Lynn, don't overreact.
05:17I already checked.
05:18It's just one day.
05:19It won't affect the surgery.
05:21Theo never had a father figure in his life.
05:23I can't break his heart.
05:25You're an adult.
05:26You're not going to hold that against a little kid, are you?
05:29I was shaking with rage.
05:31He felt sorry for Theo because he did not have a father.
05:35But what about Ruby?
05:37His own daughter lying in agony and running out of time.
05:41I opened my mouth to fire back.
05:43But he had already hung up.
05:45Then his phone went straight to voicemail.
05:47I stared at the emergency room doors through my tears, praying Ruby would hold on until her father came back.
05:54That was the only hope I had left.
05:58Ruby was in agony, but she never cried or complained.
06:02She just lay there, pale and weak, holding my hand with whatever strength she had left.
06:16Ever since Valerie returned with her son, Dan had poured all his warmth and patience into them.
06:25He had walked out on Rovie's birthday for Theo.
06:30He had abandoned our anniversary to stay beside Valerie.
06:34Now he had crossed the world for someone else's child, while his own daughter waited for him to save her.
06:43Smile, Dan.
06:44Theo finally got his last wish.
06:59Mrs. Pratt, I'm sorry.
07:01We lost Ruby.
07:03We lost Ruby.
07:22Maybe it was some kind of father-daughter intuition.
07:28Dan had been blowing up my phone since yesterday.
07:32Call after call, text after text.
07:35He kept pressing me about Ruby's condition,
07:37swearing up and down that he'd come back right away to donate the marrow.
07:41But I couldn't even bring myself to look at his messages.
07:43I tossed my phone aside and left it there.
07:50She was gone.
07:56His belated promises were cheaper than the cold air in that morgue.
08:14Theo's leg is injured, and this is the sloppy excuse for care you're giving him?
08:18I want your best doctor, your best room, and the best medication, now!
08:23I stood there, watching, and felt a wave of absurdity wash over me.
08:28When Ruby was fighting for her life, one more day did not matter to him.
08:32But Valentir's son got a tiny scratch, and suddenly the sky was falling.
08:38Pathetic.
08:39Lynn?
08:40How's Ruby?
08:44Lynn, how's Ruby doing?
08:47Look, don't be upset.
08:49I wasn't trying to blow this off.
08:51Theo got hurt on the way back.
08:53He's just a kid, his bones are still growing.
08:57If I don't handle this carefully, he could have lifelong problems.
09:03Just let me get him settled, and then I'll go straight to donate for Ruby.
09:08I swear, I won't delay her treatment again.
09:17I only stared at him.
09:19No tears, no yelling.
09:21None of the pleading he was used to.
09:30Theo's test came back, he's lost blood, and the blood bank is running low.
09:35We happen to have the same type.
09:37I need to give him transfusions this week.
09:40I can't do Ruby's transplant yet.
09:44You and Ruby are going to have to wait a little longer.
09:47Ruby can't wait anymore.
10:12He turned and hurried off before I could respond.
10:16Then I looked down at the doll in my hands.
10:19It still had a complimentary sticker on the box.
10:23My heart went cold.
10:25Dan, you've been back this whole time.
10:27Don't you want to see Ruby?
10:35Please don't be angry with Dan.
10:37Dan, Theo's condition is serious.
10:39If he doesn't get those transfusions, something terrible could happen.
10:44I know this is hard for you, but the children's health has to come first.
10:48Please try to understand.
10:50Don't hold this against him, okay?
10:55She stood there playing the voice of reason, as though she was the gracious one, and I was the one
11:00making trouble.
11:02Before I could respond, Dan stepped in front of her and gently papsed my head.
11:08Come on, Lynn. Enough.
11:10Themo needs a full week of transfusions.
11:13The transplant will have to wait.
11:15You and Ruby have always been reasonable.
11:17I know you'll understand.
11:21Keep it.
11:23Ruby doesn't need anything from you anymore.
11:30I finished all the paperwork and confirmed the time to pick up Ruby's body from the hospital.
11:35Then I went home to pack my things.
11:46The moment I pushed open the door, the blood in my veins turned to ice.
11:51There, on our bed, Dan and Valerie were locked in a tight embrace.
11:56His shirt was unbuttoned.
11:58Her hand rested lightly on his chest.
12:01Dan's face went pale with panic.
12:04Babe, what are you doing home?
12:06How's Ruby today?
12:07Is she asking about me?
12:11Don't get the wrong idea.
12:12I just finished Theo's transfusion and Valerie was only looking after me.
12:17Looking after you?
12:18Since when does looking after someone involve holding him in his wife's bed?
12:25Lynn, it's not what you think.
12:27Just let me explain.
12:29Save it.
12:31He's all yours.
12:42Don't touch me!
12:44Ow!
12:44That hurt!
12:45Valeria's face went pale and tears spilled down her cheeks.
12:51Dan received the signal immediately.
12:54He rushed to her side, pulled her up, and shielded her from me.
12:59Lynn, are you done yet?
13:01Valerie was just trying to be nice.
13:04She didn't want you to misunderstand.
13:07Do you have to be so cruel?
13:09Dan, don't blame Lynn.
13:11Lynn, it's my fault.
13:13And Theo's fault, too.
13:15I've been so tired from taking care of Theo.
13:18When Lynn pushed me just now, I suddenly felt so dizzy.
13:25Valeria, hang on.
13:26I'm taking you to the hospital right now.
13:28Lynn, stay here and cool off.
13:30I'll be back later to explain.
13:33Explain?
13:34Explain?
13:34What was left to explain, I pulled out my suitcase and began packing.
13:39I was never coming back to this house.
14:03Babe, I've given too much blood to Theo.
14:05I'm feeling pretty anemic.
14:07You need to come take care of me.
14:08Theo's not feeling well, either.
14:10Could you make him something good to eat and bring it over?
14:13Valerie's in bad shape, too, so I need you to help look after Theo for me.
14:17I know this is a lot, but once I'm better, I promise I'll get Ruby that transplant as soon as
14:22I can.
14:22He was still holding that over me.
14:24Still using Ruby's life to make me bend.
14:27Forget it.
14:30What's that supposed to mean?
14:38I was taking my daughter home.
14:40At the hospital, I completed the release forms.
14:47Then I wheeled the Gurnley toward the exit.
14:50Ruby's body covered with a white sheet.
14:55Lynn?
14:56What are you pushing?
14:59Why did you hang up on me?
15:01What are you pushing around?
15:02Put that aside.
15:03Taking care of Theo is more important.
15:07I hate this mean lady.
15:10She's always bothering Papa Dan.
15:12Go away!
15:13Valerie watched me standing there, covered in crumbs.
15:16A flicker of satisfaction passed through her eyes.
15:19Then she pulled Theo into her arms, her face full of fake remorse.
15:23I'm so sorry, Lynn.
15:25Dan has just been so good to Theo.
15:27That's why Theo calls him that.
15:28It's my fault.
15:29I haven't raised him properly.
15:30You can punish me however you want.
15:34It's just a few crumbs.
15:36He's a kid.
15:37He doesn't know any better.
15:38You're not going to make a big deal out of this, are you?
15:41I looked at the three of them standing together like one big happy family.
15:45My daughter lay beneath that sheet, cold and silent.
15:48The three of them standing together like one big happy family.
15:51Lynn, where are you going?
15:54I'm taking Ruby to the crematorium.
15:57Do you want to come say goodbye?
16:02What?
16:03Ruby?
16:05Is dead?
16:06That's not possible.
16:08No.
16:08She was fine the day I left.
16:10There's no way she's gone.
16:11Lynn, this isn't funny.
16:13Even if I've been spending time with Valerie and Theo,
16:16you don't get to curse our daughter just to get back at me.
16:20His lips trembled as he tried to convince himself.
16:23He could not accept that the daughter he kept asking to wait had finally stopped waiting.
16:30Lynn, I have to say this time you've crossed a line.
16:33I know you resent Theo and me.
16:35But pretending your own daughter is dead just to push us away?
16:39As a mother, that's cruel.
16:44Enough!
16:45You're coming back inside with me.
16:47I'll get the transplant done right now.
16:49I've already put it off for too long.
16:51And there, in the cold light of day, was Ruby's pale, lifeless face.
16:57Her eyes were closed.
16:58Her lips had lost all color.
17:06Roby, the daddy you waited 28 days for is finally here.
17:12The moment Dan saw Roby's body, his pupils tracted sharply.
17:17Her tiny face was as pale as paper.
17:20Her chest was completely still, not the faintest rise or fall.
17:27No, that's not possible.
17:31He looked wildly between Ruby and me, desperately searching for another explanation.
17:36Any explanation, except the truth.
17:40Lynn, that's enough.
17:43You're angry because I've been spending time with Valerie and Theo.
17:48So you cooked this whole thing up with the hospital to guilt trap me into coming home?
17:52I could not even cry anymore.
17:55When your heart dies, it does not hurt.
17:58It simply turns cold.
18:00You're having Ruby play dead to make me feel guilty, aren't you?
18:04You're trying to force me into donating right this second.
18:09You've always been dramatic, Lynn.
18:11You love playing the victim.
18:15Dan, calm down.
18:17Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding.
18:20Ruby is so young.
18:21How could she possibly...
18:25Dan could not bear to look at Ruby.
18:29Denying her death was easier than admitting that his delay had caused it.
18:38Go, Dan.
18:39Don't let you keep you from taking care of someone else's son.
18:42Just stay away from Ruby and me.
18:49If Ruby were really that sick, you would have been on your knees begging me.
18:53The fact that you're this calm tells me everything.
18:57You're just trying to scare me.
19:09Do you have any idea what I've been through this past month?
19:12I sat beside Ruby every day, watching her curl up in agony.
19:16So brave.
19:18She told me,
19:19Mommy, I won't cry.
19:20I'll wait for Daddy to come home with me.
19:22The doctors gave me three critical condition notices.
19:26I begged you until I had nothing left, not even my pride.
19:31But on the morning of the surgery, he went completely off the grid.
19:39Don't give me that!
19:41If you were really that desperate,
19:43you would have flown out to find me yourself!
19:47Tell me the truth.
19:49Right now.
19:51Tell me you put Ruby up to this, that she's only pretending to scare me.
19:56Then I'll donate the marrow right this second.
20:00Otherwise...
20:02Ruby doesn't need your marrow anymore.
20:04Keep it.
20:06What else can you threaten me with?
20:13Ruby is already dead.
20:22Look at how well behaved Valeria's son is.
20:33And you're teaching Ruby to pull a stunt like this?
20:36The three of them stood together,
20:39playing happy family,
20:40warm, protected,
20:42and full of life.
20:45Then I looked at Ruby.
20:47She would never breathe again.
20:50Whatever hope I still had for Dan turned to Ash.
20:59Dan, I don't want your marrow anymore.
21:01Not now.
21:04Not ever.
21:05You want to believe this is all a lie?
21:07Fine.
21:08Keep telling yourself that.
21:18One day,
21:19you'll kneel in front of me and beg to see Ruby one last time.
21:26And when you do,
21:27I'll tell you the same thing you taught her.
21:31You're too late.
21:38I pushed the girlie forward
21:40and walked right past him.
21:43Dan reached for my arm.
21:45I pulled free and kept moving.
21:49Lynn, stop!
21:56For 28 days,
21:58I had waited for him to come back and save Ruby.
22:04Now Ruby was gone.
22:07And I was the one walking away.
22:12Dan still believed this was another fight
22:14I would eventually surrender.
22:16He did not understand
22:18that every reason I had to stay
22:20had died with our daughter.
22:24You're going to regret this!
22:29No, Dan.
22:30You will.
22:42Dan, don't be upset.
22:44Lynn's just angry right now.
22:45Once she calms down,
22:47she'll come back to you.
22:48She needs you after all.
22:56Yeah, I'm sure she will.
22:58No matter how much of a scene she makes,
23:01she'll come crawling back in a couple of days.
23:03That stoked the last embers of his pride.
23:05He scoffed,
23:06forcing down the unexplained dread rising in his chest.
23:12On the other side of town,
23:14I finished making arrangements for Ruby.
23:18Then I returned to what used to be our home.
23:22Valerie's perfume still lingered in the air.
23:25Her belongings and Theo's toys
23:27had already taken over the house.
23:29I laid out every piece of evidence I had saved.
23:3428 days of unanswered calls.
23:36Every message begging Dan to save Ruby.
23:39His travel photos with Valerie and Theo.
23:42And Ruby's death certificate.
23:44My hands shook as I opened the divorce papers.
23:48Three years of marriage.
23:49Over.
23:53The moment I signed my name,
23:55I finally breathed again.
24:01I waited for you for 28 days, Dan.
24:04Now it's your turn.
24:08That evening,
24:09Dan sat in an Upscraig restaurant with Theo on his tay.
24:13Valerie sat across from him,
24:15soft and adoring.
24:18But Dan could not shake the knot in his stomach.
24:21His phone remained silent.
24:23No calls from Lynn.
24:24No tearful voicemail begging him to come home.
24:29Dan, please come home quickly.
24:33Daddy?
24:34Ruby was so good today.
24:35She kept asking for her daddy.
24:37The doctor said waiting any longer would be dangerous.
24:40Please come home.
24:44Daddy.
24:45Ruby couldn't sleep because of the pain.
24:47She kept calling for you.
24:49Dan, I'm begging you, please save her.
24:51One desperate plea after another.
24:53He used to find those messages annoying.
24:55Now, each one made his heart pound faster.
24:59Papa, Dan, why aren't you eating?
25:06Papa's not hungry, buddy.
25:08Are you still upset with Lynn?
25:10Honestly, she went too far.
25:12Having her own daughter play dead just to make you feel guilty.
25:16It's cruel.
25:18If you don't come back now,
25:20you'll never see Ruby again.
25:25I need to hear Lynn say Ruby is alive.
25:33The phone rang for a long time before I answered.
25:36My voice was flat and detached.
25:39Lynn, are you done yet?
25:41Don't you think it's time to apologize?
25:43You can drag this out, but Ruby can't.
25:46I still need to...
25:46Don't bother.
25:48The divorce papers are on your desk.
25:50What, what, what did you say?
25:52Divorce.
25:53I'm letting you go.
25:55You can be Theo's father now, full time.
25:58Dan froze.
25:59He had imagined me crying, pleading, and eventually surrendering.
26:03He had never imagined that I would leave.
26:05Lynn, don't be crazy.
26:07It was only a few days.
26:08I'm sorry.
26:09There, I said it.
26:11I'm not threatening you.
26:13I'm telling you.
26:15I'm not threatening you.
26:16I'm telling you.
26:17Ruby is gone.
26:18There's nothing left to hold this family together.
26:20You'll regret this.
26:22The tears came, not for him, but for Ruby.
26:25My beautiful, brave little girl who never got to come home.
26:29Goodbye, Dan.
26:31Go home.
26:33The truth is waiting on your desk.
26:39He refused to believe she had left him.
26:42Lynn Lynn loved him too much.
26:44A few gentle words and one apology would bring her back.
26:48Just like every time before.
27:04That was the fantasy he clinged to, as he opened the door.
27:10But the house was dark.
27:12No warm meal.
27:15No Lynn waiting by the door.
27:17No Ruby running toward him.
27:19Lynn?
27:25There, centered neatly on his desk, were the divorce papers, already signed.
27:30Beside them was a small photo of Ruby.
27:32In the picture, his little girl was smiling, bright and full of life.
27:38Dan stopped cold.
27:40His hands began to tremble.
27:50No, this can't be Ruby's death certificate.
28:00Next to the divorce papers sat a stack of documents.
28:03Ruby's critical condition notices.
28:06Her death certificate.
28:08The bone marrow match report.
28:10And screenshots of Dan's trip with Valerie, beaches, sunsets, and smiling photos taken while Roby was dying.
28:17Every piece of paper carried the same truth.
28:21Roby was gone.
28:22And Dan could have saved her.
28:25No, no, that's not possible.
28:29Ruby.
28:30Daddy didn't mean to.
28:33I thought it was only one more day.
28:36While Roby waited for him in a hospital bed, Dan had been holding someone else's child on a beach.
28:42Lynn had begged him for 28 days.
28:47Now, she was no longer begging.
28:50She was gone.
28:52And she had taken Ruby with her.
29:03Lynn, please answer me.
29:06The number you have dialed is unavailable.
29:09The number you have dialed is unavailable.
29:23Mom, is Papa Dan coming back tonight?
29:28Don't worry.
29:30He's not going anywhere.
29:32Valerie believed everything was going according to plan.
29:36As long as Dan kept feeling sorry for Theo, Lynn would eventually be pushed out.
29:44With Ruby gone, Valerie believed everything Dan owned would one day belong to Theo.
29:55Dan?
29:57What's wrong?
30:02Is Lynn giving you trouble again?
30:04Don't be upset.
30:11Don't touch me.
30:13This is your fault.
30:15All of it.
30:16You dragged me on that trip.
30:19You made me play father to Theo.
30:23You're the reason I didn't go back in time to save Ruby.
30:27You and your son killed my daughter.
30:36No, Dan.
30:39Ruby's gone.
30:41But you still have Theo, don't you?
30:47Shut up!
30:50I didn't mean for Ruby to die, Dan.
30:52I swear.
30:56But I never forced you to ignore Lynn's calls.
30:59Every time you had to choose between Theo and Ruby, you chose us.
31:03A storm of emotions tore through him.
31:06Grief, rage, shame, regret, all colliding at once.
31:11Finally, he saw clearly he had thrown away his marriage for a manipulative woman and her son.
31:18He had ignored his own child's desperate cries until it was too late.
31:35He had given some else's son every promise Ruby was waiting for.
31:42And now, there was no one left to forgive him.
31:51Finally, he saw clearly he had thrown away his marriage and killed every chance of forgiveness.
32:00No.
32:03I killed my own daughter.
32:11Dan searched everywhere Lynn might have gone.
32:14Hospitals, train stations, airports, every friend they shared.
32:19But Lynn had vanished without leaving a trace.
32:23You didn't save your daughter when you had the chance.
32:26And now you're panicking?
32:28Ruby's in heaven now, Dan.
32:30You can search the whole world.
32:32You'll never find her.
32:44Every word struck him like a slap.
32:58Valerie still believed Dan would eventually forgive her.
33:02She brought Theo to his home, hoping the boy's tears would soften him one more time.
33:08Dan, I know you're hurting, but Theo needs you.
33:12We both need you.
33:16Papa Dan?
33:27Don't call me that.
33:33You and your son cost me my daughter.
33:38Take the money.
33:39Take your son.
33:40And don't ever show your faces in front of me again.
33:54Dan abandoned his work and everything else.
33:58He searched for Lynn day and night.
34:01Within weeks, he had become a hollow shadow of the man he used to be.
34:10We found a lead.
34:11Lynn left the city with Ruby's ashes.
34:13She moved to a small coastal town.
34:17Where?
34:18It was the town where I had once dreamed of building a home with him.
34:27Dan took the earliest flight.
34:34He searched the town block by block, clutching my photograph.
34:40Finally, he found me in a quiet seaside cemetery.
34:55Where's my name?
34:59His name was not there.
35:02I had left him out entirely.
35:07After abandoning Ruby when she needed, when she needed him most, Dan no longer belonged on her headstone.
35:14He took one step forward, then another.
35:20Each step felt like walking across broken glass.
35:25Lynn.
35:25I felt his presence before I heard his voice.
35:28When I finally looked at him, there was no anger left in my eyes.
35:31Only stillness.
35:33And that stillness cut deeper than any scream or curse.
35:39Lynn.
35:40I'm sorry.
35:41I'm so sorry.
35:43Please, give me one chance to make this right.
35:48Dan.
35:49You're kneeling to the wrong person.
35:52I'm sorry.
35:57I was wrong.
35:59Ruby, daddy was wrong.
36:02Lynn, you can do whatever you want to me.
36:04Just don't take away my chance to make this right.
36:07Do you know what Ruby's last words were?
36:13She was shaking from the pain, and she was still trying to comfort me.
36:19She said,
36:20Mommy, I don't blame daddy.
36:22He's just really busy.
36:24She said,
36:25I wish daddy would call me his little Ruby one more time.
36:30Every word cut into Dan like a blade.
36:32He clutched Ruby's photograph to his chest, gasping as though he could no longer breathe.
36:37I didn't know.
36:39I thought it was only one more day.
36:43I thought I still had time.
36:47He had finally found the words Ruby had waited to hear, but Ruby could no longer hear them.
36:55You had every chance to save her, Dan.
36:58You were 28 days too late.
37:06Do you know how many days I begged you?
37:1028.
37:12The doctor called you himself.
37:14He told you Ruby was critical.
37:16He told you there was no more time.
37:21And what were you doing?
37:23You were enjoying the ocean with Valerie and Theo.
37:26You were chasing the Northern Lights and checking off one wish after another for someone else's son.
37:31You said Theo was pitiful because he didn't have a father.
37:35What about Ruby?
37:37Your own daughter was lying in a hospital bed, waiting for the only match who could save her.
37:43Wasn't she pitiful?
37:47I didn't mean for this to happen.
37:49I was blinded.
37:51I was wrong.
37:52I know I was wrong.
37:54Wrong about what, Dan?
37:56You don't even know what you're sorry for.
38:01Don't apologize to me.
38:04The person you owe an apology to is Ruby.
38:08The daughter who waited for you in her last breath and never blamed you once.
38:14I came here to tell Ruby that I'm taking her to see the world.
38:20We're going far away.
38:21She deserves to see something beautiful, too.
38:27Where are you going?
38:30Take me with you.
38:32I want to be with Ruby.
38:34I want to take care of both of you.
38:40No.
38:41The moment you chose Theo over Ruby,
38:44you stopped being her father.
38:48Your regret, your guilt, your pain, it's all too late.
38:52Too late for Ruby to wait any longer.
39:01Don't come looking for us again.
39:02You don't belong in our world anymore.
39:10Dan cut off all financial support for Valerie and Theo.
39:15Unwilling to accept it,
39:17Valerie stormed his company and demanded to see him.
39:20Dan owes us!
39:23Theo called him his father.
39:25He can't throw us away!
39:35Mr. Pratt has nothing more to say to you.
39:39If you continue spreading false rumors,
39:42we'll see you in court.
39:47With no money and no one to rely on,
39:50Valerie was forced to work several jobs just to survive.
39:53Theo, spoiled and uncontrollable,
39:56kept getting into trouble at school.
40:07Mom,
40:09is Papa Dan ever coming back?
40:19One year later,
40:21I opened a small flower shop by the sea.
40:24I named it Ruby's Flower House.
40:29The shop was filled with flowers,
40:31bright, warm, and alive.
40:38Every weekend,
40:39I brought Ruby's favorite daisies to the cemetery.
40:42And since she could no longer see the world herself,
40:46I carried her photograph wherever I went.
40:53I was not in a hurry to fall in love again.
40:56I did not need someone else to complete my life.
41:04I had not forgotten Ruby or left my grief behind.
41:08I had simply learned to carry her with me.
41:15Then one afternoon,
41:16I looked through the window
41:17and saw Dan standing across the street.
41:24Dan dismissed everyone around him.
41:29He donated most of his wealth
41:32to children's leukemia foundations.
41:34but no amount of money could bring Ruby back.
41:37C'est parti !
42:08Ruby, Daddy was wrong. Daddy was 28 days too late.
42:13He apologized countless times.
42:15But there was no longer a little girl waiting to hear him.
42:23His cruelest punishment was not losing his money.
42:27It was living with the knowledge that Ruby would never return.
42:35And that I no longer needed a single word of his apology.
42:52Whoever he was, he had nothing to do with me anymore.
42:55I don't know.
42:56I don't know.
43:08I don't know.
