"Tell me, then, why have you been deceiving me? Why don't you tell me the truth earlier? If I hadn't overheard it that day, would you intend to keep it from me for the rest of your life?"
Rory questions the director haughtily.
"I know that everything that happened in the past was my fault. But don't worry. I have nothing to hide from you except for this." The director has no idea what to do with Rory.
"Then tell me who my biological father is." Rory continues to ask. Now that she knows the truth, she decides to ask about everything.
"I'm sorry. Your father has already passed away." The director says tearfully.
"You are still trying to lie to me. If my father has passed away, why do you hide it from me? You deliberately hide the truth because you are afraid that my father will take me away, don't you?" Rory says in excitement.
"How can you say that? I just want to protect you. I am afraid that you will ask me where your father is. So, I hide it from you." The director says and feels that she has been wronged.
"You're lying. You haven't been willing to tell me the truth until now!"
"Listen to me. It's not what you think. Everything I do is for you. I just hope you can be happy."
"Then take me to my father. If you can't take me to my father, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life." Rory now speaks in a strong tone.
"Why do you have to look for your father? Just let me stay by your side. I will love you twice as much." The director puts her hands on her chest and says.
"What's the use of you loving me twice as much? That can never replace fatherly love." Rory breaks down and shouts. She loses control of her emotions. These blows have messed up her. She cannot calm herself down.
Rory desperately backs up. However, she accidentally steps over the edge and falls into the lake behind her. The director tries to reach out to catch her. But she misses. As a result, they all fall into the water.
At this moment, John also comes here and sees that they fall into the lake together. He jumps into the lake without hesitation and saves them. Then, he brings them back to the house.
When the director wakes up, she shouts anxiously, "My daughter. How is my daughter?"
Only now does Miya know that Rory is the director's daughter.
"The doctor said that she would be fine after a rest."
John has been staying by Rory's side. For some reason, Miya feels uncomfortable after seeing this. The director glares at her and pulls her out.
"You've seen what's happening. Rory can't leave John. Why do you still stay here and get in the way? Are you not embarrassed enough? They come to such an end because of you. Do you know how much disaster you have brought?" the director blames Miya again. But she doesn't dare to say more. Because she knows it is all her fault.
"I'm sorry..." Miya doesn't know what to say except for this.
Rory deliberately closes her eyes again and turns her face away when she wakes up and sees John.
Seeing Rory wake up, John heaves a sigh of relief. "I'm so glad you're okay."
"Why didn't you let me drown?" Rory retorts. In fact, the moment she fell into the river, she was very afraid that she would die. Because if she dies, she will never see John again.
