The Pharmaceutical Husband's IVF For His Friend's Widow. Completed English dubbed
Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:01I heard I was pregnant. I was about to tell my husband Alexander the good news, but then I saw
00:07an Instagram posted notification. A pregnancy test result. Two pink lines with the father's name clearly written, Alexander Grant. The
00:16poster was Evelyn Shaw, the widow of his deceased friend. Her caption read,
00:22Thank you for donating your sperm and personally performing my IVF procedure, Alex. I'll never be alone again. I composed
00:30myself and called Alexander to demand an explanation. Give me an explanation about Evelyn. Ethan was my best friend. He
00:42died, leaving his wife alone. I just wanted to help her fulfill their wish. In that moment, I knew this
00:49marriage needed to end.
00:52I always thought the collapse of a marriage was gradual. But that morning, I realized, sometimes, it only takes one
01:00social media post. After seeing Evelyn's Instagram post, I scheduled an abortion for tomorrow. That's when Alexander came home.
01:11In one hand, he carried a bag from the lab. In the other, a bag from my favorite French patisserie.
01:20How ironic. He still remembered I loved their lemon tarts.
01:26Clara, I brought you some pastries.
01:28I could smell the sterile disinfectant from his lab, mixed with perfume. It made me want to vomit.
01:34What's wrong, baby?
01:36Don't touch me.
01:37You're still angry.
01:42That post you saw is just a misunderstanding. Evelyn is emotionally unstable. I didn't want her to feel abandoned by
01:48the world.
01:52Oh, so you used your own sperm and personally performed the IVF procedure to make her feel cared for?
01:58Don't use that tone.
02:00It's not as sordid as you think.
02:02It's part of a research project. The company needs experimental data, and she happened to need it a child.
02:10Research. The donation consent form you signed. The father's name isn't Grant Biotech. It's Alexander Grant.
02:17Did the company require your full name, or did you volunteer it?
02:21You're being too emotional. Ethan is dead.
02:23I have a responsibility to care for Evelyn. You should understand.
02:29I just want to know, in your dictionary, does responsibility include betrayal?
02:36Clara, I know you care, but I'm the CEO of a pharmaceutical company. You know what my profession requires. You
02:43shouldn't make such a...
02:46...big deal out of this.
02:49Did I?
02:50When Ethan first died, I sympathized with Evelyn, too.
02:54So I always took care of her. Invited her to our home for dinner.
02:58Included her when I went shopping. I gave her gifts.
03:02When appliances broke at her place, Alexander and I would go over to help repair them.
03:08At the time, Evelyn said to me with red-rimmed eyes,
03:13If Ethan were still here, you wouldn't have to be troubled with these things.
03:20It's nothing. Don't be so formal with us.
03:23But later, Evelyn's relationship with Alexander gradually changed.
03:28Alexander would accompany her to the supermall loan, help her shoes furniture,
03:33drive her to the hospital in the middle of the night when she was sick.
03:37Whenever I felt he was going too far, Alexander would say that Ethan was his most important friend
03:41and helping care of his wife was his responsibility.
03:45I had wanted to have a proper conversation with him,
03:47but Alexander's attitude left me speechless.
03:51I think we should cool off.
03:55Where could he go this time?
03:57It must be Evelyn.
04:00Soon, I received a story update notification on my Instagram.
04:04It was from Evelyn.
04:07Looking at that photo, I couldn't help but laugh at my own foolishness.
04:14Maybe I should end this marriage sooner.
04:23The next morning, I put on sunglasses and a mask, clutching the hospital payment slip.
04:28I sat in the waiting area, waiting to have an abortion.
04:31Just then, I heard someone laughing softly down the corridor.
04:35The voice was soft, familiar.
04:38Alexander was looking down at Evelyn's ultrasound report.
04:42Evelyn pointed at something on report.
04:45A smile on her lips.
04:48Alexander's eyes held a rare gentleness and a hopingness toward Heiner.
04:53The scene was too ironic.
04:55I suddenly felt like an audience member who had wandered onto the wrong set.
04:59I was about to turn and leave.
05:02But just as I stood up, Alexander looked up at me.
05:05Our eyes met.
05:07His look.
05:08Shock.
05:09Annoyance.
05:10And in that instant, warriness.
05:12I'll never forget it.
05:16Are you following me?
05:18This is a public hospital, not your private laboratory.
05:22Do I need your permission to be here?
05:28Alex, don't be like this.
05:31Maybe it's a missing misunderstanding.
05:35Clara, please don't misunderstand.
05:38I know this is hard for you, but I just want a child.
05:42After Ethan left, I've been so lonely.
05:49If you just wanted a child, this city had countless sperm banks.
05:54Why choose my husband?
05:57Loneliness doesn't give you the right to steal someone else's family for warmth.
06:02Evelyn.
06:08Evelyn, be careful.
06:10Don't get upset.
06:13She's pregnant!
06:15Do you realize you almost made her fall?
06:20I didn't touch her.
06:22But you provoked her!
06:29Clara, you've gone too far.
06:31She's carrying Ethan's child, and you're still pushing her like this?
06:40Ethan's child.
06:41But whose name is written in the father column?
06:43Have you forgotten?
06:46I only donated sperm.
06:48Her child has nothing to do with me.
06:51Nothing to do with you?
06:55Then why did you personally accompany her for prenatal checkups?
07:00Why you, and not Ethan's family?
07:05I suddenly felt exhausted.
07:08I watched them.
07:10Him carefully supporting her as they walked out,
07:13while I stood at the end of the corridor like an outsider.
07:19Alexander.
07:23If I came here today for an abortion,
07:28would you stay?
07:30You what?
07:36Clara, don't try to deceive me with words like that.
07:39No matter what,
07:41I won't abandon Evelyn.
07:48You really need to see a therapist.
07:53Let's go.
07:53I stood there watching them leave,
07:56when suddenly I heard the nurse calling my number.
07:59It's my turn for the surgery.
08:04The abortion surgery ended quickly.
08:08That night, I returned to the apartment alone.
08:11The place was pitch dark.
08:13I suddenly realized,
08:14I should also draft a new contract for my own life.
08:18Professional habit made me instinctively write
08:21logically riggist terms.
08:24Article 1.
08:25Both parties voluntarily dissolve the marriage without fraud or coercion.
08:29Article 2.
08:31Property division follows fair principles,
08:33with equity under both names liquidated proportionally.
08:37Article 3.
08:38Neither party may interfere with the other's life under any pretext.
08:43When I reached Article 3,
08:45I stopped writing.
08:46It turned out even emotional termination could be formatted into legal documentation by me.
08:52At this moment,
08:54the screen lit up with an Instagram notification.
08:58Avalyn had posted.
09:02He's making dinner for me.
09:04The doctor said I have no appetite,
09:06but he's more worried than anyone.
09:08A man who once pulled three all-nighters
09:10for the global biotech summit
09:12was now carefully preparing meals
09:14for another in the Mjormund's fencedness.
09:17Laughable and pathetic.
09:20A few days later,
09:22Alexander called.
09:23His tone was commanding.
09:25Come home for dinner tonight.
09:27I have cases to handle.
09:29Mom wants to see you.
09:34I wanted to refuse,
09:36but somehow,
09:38I went anyway.
09:41Clara,
09:43you're here.
09:44Alex said you haven't been feeling well lately.
09:47You should eat more.
09:49I sincerely hope you'll feel better soon.
09:51Don't get me wrong.
09:53Auntie specifically asked me to stay for a few days
09:55to rest properly during the pregnancy.
10:00Oh.
10:01Are you comfortable here?
10:03Clara,
10:04you've been married all these years
10:06without giving our family a child.
10:08Now that Evelyn is carrying Alex's child,
10:11I'm someone needs to care for her.
10:13I'm having her move in.
10:14You don't mind, do you?
10:16Of course not.
10:23Do you really think that?
10:25Yes.
10:28Remake the master bedroom
10:29on the second floor that faces the sun.
10:31Evelyn needs proper rest during her pregnancy.
10:34Yes, madam.
10:35It's good that Alex values loyalty.
10:38Otherwise,
10:39I wouldn't have a grandchild.
10:41Values loyalty.
10:42I found it ironic.
10:43If Ethan knew his wife was pregnant
10:45with his best friend's child,
10:47he'd probably cough up blood.
10:50Are you still angry, Clara?
10:52I'm sorry.
10:54I just wanted to have my own child.
10:58Don't mind her.
10:59The child in your belly is Alex's
11:02and my grandchild.
11:04It must be born.
11:09When the child is born,
11:12remember to call me.
11:13Mommy.
11:19Clara, I'm sorry.
11:21This situation must hurt you.
11:22If Ethan hadn't left so suddenly,
11:25I wouldn't have...
11:26I'm just afraid of being alone.
11:28Don't touch me.
11:34Clara, please don't hate me, okay?
11:40Evelyn!
11:42Evelyn!
11:48I never expected you to be so vicious.
11:56Are you bullying Evelyn again?
12:02Wasn't your performance at the hospital enough?
12:05Now you even want to push her over the edge.
12:16Fine.
12:23Let's get divorced.
12:25Equity and joint property liquidated
12:28according to Article 2's proportions.
12:31Real estate returned to respective names.
12:35Article 3,
12:36neither party interfered the other's life
12:38under any pretext.
12:43Don't you need peace and quiet
12:44for the pregnancy?
12:46Perfect.
13:11Oh, my God, why is she bleeding so much?
13:14Call an ambulance!
13:15Clara!
13:35You're awake.
13:37Still here.
13:40Didn't die.
13:41Don't talk nonsense.
13:42The doctor said you had severe hemorrhaging after the surgery.
13:45If we hadn't gotten you here in time...
13:52That's enough. Let her rest.
13:56We know now.
13:58The doctor mentioned you were pregnant before.
14:01Clara, what he did to you, we saw it in the news.
14:05Don't be afraid. We support your divorce.
14:08Mom, I'm not afraid.
14:11I just feel disgusted.
14:14Not only with him, but with myself.
14:17For taking so long to wake up.
14:23Get out.
14:25I want to talk to Clara alone.
14:27There's nothing to talk about.
14:30It's fine. Let him in.
14:32They exchanged glances, then finally left the room.
14:34Only he and I remained.
14:36The air felt like frozen glass.
14:40Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
14:43What good would telling you have done?
14:44You were busy experimenting for Evelyn.
14:47Busy accompanying her to prenatal checkups.
14:50When would you have had time to hear this?
14:53Clara, I really didn't know.
14:55I thought we were just having a temporary fight.
14:59I never thought you would get an abortion.
15:02Alexander, I told you that day at the hospital.
15:05Do you think marriage is an experiment?
15:08When something goes wrong, you just fix it.
15:10When the data looks bad, you just delete it.
15:16Unfortunately, I'm not your test subject.
15:18I didn't know.
15:20I thought you were joking.
15:21That child.
15:23He was our first child.
15:25I never wanted to lose him either.
15:27Clara.
15:30But you were busy being someone else's father.
15:33That child didn't need to compete with you for the role.
15:37Don't come near me.
15:39The smell on you makes me want to vomit.
15:46Sign the divorce papers, Alexander.
15:54Alexander stood there, as if the words had completely struck him.
15:58He just looked at me like that, as if seeing me for the first time.
16:03Clara, you really want to be this absolute?
16:06Should I continue letting you live with Evelyn?
16:09Or would you like me to join your research project and study psychological recovery mechanisms
16:14in betrayed individuals?
16:15You know what?
16:16I spent all night thinking through everything.
16:20Our marriage died long ago.
16:22You just kept using it as a test subject, seeing how long it could last.
16:27Clara, I really didn't know about your pregnancy.
16:29If I had known...
16:29What if you'd known?
16:34That day at the hospital, you held Evelyn and didn't even look at me.
16:38You thought I was just being emotional, but I actually went through with it.
16:45I sent that child away alone.
16:47I sent that child away alone.
16:48No one was with me.
16:54No one needed to be.
17:02I shouldn't have treated you that way.
17:04Of course you shouldn't have, but you did.
17:07At this moment, the hospital room fell silent, except for the sound of breathing.
17:12Clara, we can start over.
17:14Without Evelyn, without those misunderstandings, I can make it up to you.
17:17Make it up.
17:22Compensation is for victims, and I don't need it.
17:26Because in your eyes, I'm not a victim.
17:29Just an emotional woman, right?
17:37If you still remember how to sign documents, sign it.
17:40The rest, I'll have my lawyer handled.
17:47Do your parents know?
17:49They support me.
17:50That's the one thing you didn't expect, isn't it?
17:53You thought without you, no one would help me.
17:56Clara, I really did love you.
17:58I know.
17:59But the person you loved was the woman who waited outside your lab,
18:04who could handle your contracts,
18:06who understood your work-workaholic temperament.
18:09At least, not the me I am now.
18:20Alexander's hand hovered over the divorce agreement, but never moved.
18:23I already knew the answer.
18:25He wouldn't sign.
18:26He'd always been that kind of person.
18:28Rational to the point of cruelty.
18:30But once he lost control, he'd desperately try to restore the appearance of order.
18:36Clara, I won't sign.
18:37You can refuse, but that doesn't stop me from filing.
18:40In 30 days, the court will grant the divorce anyway.
18:45I won't let you go.
18:48Don't you think saying that now is ridiculous?
18:52I know I was wrong.
18:54It was a mistake, a moment of confusion.
18:56I thought I was helping her.
18:57I had no idea you were pregnant, too.
18:59If I'd known earlier, I never would have let you face this alone.
19:02Unfortunately, you always find out afterwards.
19:08Clara, I can make it up to you.
19:10I'm willing to do anything.
19:12Can you bring back the child I lost?
19:21I'm tired, Alexander.
19:23Sign the papers.
19:24Let's divorce.
19:26I don't want a divorce.
19:27I can't lose you.
19:29You already lost me.
19:30You're only just realizing it now.
19:36Forgive me.
19:37We can start over.
19:39I'll send Evelyn abroad.
19:40Whatever you want, I'll agree.
19:43Calm down.
19:44I don't want your compensation.
19:45I want dignity.
19:47Then what do you want me to do?
19:48I said, sign the divorce papers.
19:52I can't sign.
19:54Why?
19:55Because once I sign, everything will truly be gone.
20:00Alexander, your so-called everything was gone the first time you walked into Evelyn's house.
20:06Don't cry.
20:08From now on, I'm no longer your wife, and you're no longer someone I can trust.
20:13You staying only makes this harder for me.
20:18Fine. I'm leaving.
20:21But, Clara, I'll make you come back.
20:36The day I was discharged, the sunlight was bright.
20:40So bright that for a moment I had the illusion I wasn't just leaving a hospital room, but being forced
20:45awake from an absurd dream.
20:48I'd already contacted the firm and had my assistant help me rent a temporary place, a high-ridge apartment downtown,
20:54less than 10 minutes from the courthouse.
20:56I needed somewhere close, convenient for filing documents at any time.
21:02Grant Biotech CEO's family drama.
21:05Mysterious widow suspected third party.
21:07Evelyn Shaw posts long statement.
21:09I only seek a mother's identity.
21:11Evelyn's tear-streaked photos were shared repeatedly, while I, the heartless lawyer wife, was portrayed as cold-blooded, selfish, the
21:19villain who drove away a good friend's widow.
21:22Public opinion.
21:23I knew it too well.
21:25Truth never mattered.
21:26Emotion drove traffic.
21:29Are the documents ready?
21:31Grant's legal team contacted us yesterday, saying they hope for an out-of-court settlement.
21:38They want to buy time?
21:39What are they waiting for?
21:41For me to back down.
21:44But I won't.
21:48Can we talk?
21:51Come in.
21:52Clara, you're a smart girl.
21:54You know clearly that if this divorce goes to court, it won't be good for you, for the company, or
22:00for Alex.
22:01Not good, but there will be a conclusion.
22:06A woman's life shouldn't only be about winning and losing.
22:11Then what should it be about?
22:13Tolerance?
22:15The child Evelyn is carrying.
22:17It's Grant family blood.
22:19By choosing to fight this divorce now, you're not just ending the marriage.
22:22You're cutting off this family's legacy.
22:24Ma'am, I'm not destroying this family.
22:26I'm simply refusing to continue being sacrificed as background.
22:29You're a lawyer.
22:30You should understand the need to weigh options.
22:33I do.
22:34Better than anyone.
22:36Which is exactly why I know that any marriage, at its core, is just a contract.
22:41And when a contract fails, it should be terminated.
22:46You'll never know who you're up against.
22:48Is that so?
22:51We will see.
23:05That night, my phone lit up.
23:08It was Alexander.
23:11Why did you have to make the divorce public?
23:12You knew perfectly well the media would run with it.
23:14Now they're all smearing you.
23:15I know.
23:16But I also know that only in sunlight do bacteria die.
23:20Clara, I'm begging you.
23:22Don't leave me.
23:23We can start over, can't we?
23:27You still haven't signed?
23:29I won't sign.
23:31Then I'll have the judge sign for you.
23:34That night, I didn't sleep.
23:36I stayed up late to finish writing my divorce petition.
23:41This was the most personal complaint of my legal career and my declaration of freedom.
23:50Next time in court, I won't be Alexander's wife, only his opponent.
23:58Clara, I just want to talk.
24:00Talk about what?
24:01Child support, reputation, or the new script you want to perform in the media?
24:06Don't be like this.
24:08I didn't come to fight over anything.
24:11I just want you to know that this child isn't the result of artificial insermination.
24:23What do you mean?
24:24He's Alexander's child.
24:26That day in the lab, he'd been drinking, was in a bad mood.
24:30I was just comforting him.
24:31Didn't expect.
24:31He only found out later that we actually slept together.
24:40Do you understand?
24:41He chose me, not you.
24:44No matter how rational, how strong you are, you can't keep him.
24:56I don't need this trash.
24:58I mean, Alexander.
25:04Actually, after that day, Alexander felt a bit guilty.
25:08I told him it was fate.
25:09Ethan was gone.
25:10The child was like a gift he left me.
25:13And you?
25:14You're too cold, Clara.
25:16Men don't like living with legal documents.
25:18They want tenderness.
25:19Tenderness, Evelyn.
25:21In your eyes, is betrayal also a form of tenderness?
25:30Clara, you should let yourself go.
25:32Stop fighting.
25:33It's meaningless.
25:34You're right.
25:35It's meaningless.
25:39But thank you for every word you said today.
25:42They all have excellent evidential value.
25:45What do you mean?
25:47Professional habit.
25:48All conversations are recorded for documentation.
25:52You can't!
25:53That's invasion of privacy!
25:55Give me the phone!
25:56You voluntarily stated facts, and I'm simply preserving the truth.
26:01You're crazy!
26:03You're crazy!
26:05Maybe.
26:07But crazy people are often better at surviving than victims.
26:10Late that night, I simply anonymously sent the recording to an independent journalist
26:15known for exposing the false faces of the elite.
26:18The next morning, the internet no-wunter brought a wide...
26:22Mr. Alexander, Mrs. Evelyn alleges that she conceived a child following an intimate relationship with you.
26:27Can you confirm or deny this claim?
26:29In the morning, Grant Biomyological's stock price dropped 14% within an hour.
26:34As the company's CEO, what are your thoughts?
26:41I'm sorry.
26:48It was you, wasn't it?
26:52You wanted the truth, didn't you?
26:54I helped you make it public.
26:58Clara, you ruined me!
26:59Wrong.
27:00I only let the world see what you and she really are.
27:03I never meant to hurt you.
27:05I thought it was just a mistake.
27:07A mistake?
27:08No, that was the only time you were honest in your choice.
27:12Alexander, starting tomorrow we'll see each other in court.
27:15Remember to bring your lawyer.
27:20Three days after the recording incident, the news was still fermenting.
27:26Alexander was temporarily suspended investigation.
27:30Investors demanded he temporarily step back.

27:38But the recording had already spread everywhere.
27:42Her image instantly collapsed from kind widow to textbook mistress.
27:47Media captured her losing emotional control and smashing a car,
27:50then being pulled into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.
27:56That same night, she miscarried it.

29:25The first person to like it was my father.
29:32The second was a stranger's account with just one letter for a name, A.
29:36I didn't click on it, and didn't block it either.
29:41Outside the window, the sound of waves rose and fell, like a long trial finally reaching its conclusion.
