[Breath of Destiny]

[Episode 33]

Thomas, you are educated.

Why are you so traditional?

After getting married, Kelly and you are family.

How can you treat her as an outsider?

Don't change the subject.

We are talking about you.

Didn't you hurt your ankle? Come on.

Have a seat.

I sprained my ankle.

Ask Dr Liao to come here to check it.

Well. Aren't you a doctor? Can't you check it yourself?

There's an old saying in China.

Doctors can't cure themselves.

Look.

I want to know the truth.

What's your relationship with Dr Liao?

Tell me or I'll ask Mr Huo.

-No! -Well, then tell me.

Dr Liao and I are just a patient and doctor now.

-Really? -Ya, don't be so serious.

Okay. Good.

But, maybe we will become lovers because

-I'm going after him. -What?

Why are you so surprised?

Don't you think that I should find

someone I love and get married soon?

But he's Chinese.

Our ancestors came from China too.

But he's on a residency.

He's going to go back to China.

I can go with him.

You don't know what you are talking about.

I'm just saying that it's a possibility.

He hasn't accepted me yet.

Thomas.

Don't worry too much about me.

I'm nearly thirty.

And I will think about my future carefully.

No. It's not going to happen.

Thomas.

Listen. I'm serious.

As long as I'm here, I will not see you go with a foreigner.

Just marry a local man and stay here.

I'll be happy. Okay? Right now,

I want you to stay and rest your ankle.

And I don't want to see Dr Liao here ever again.

Thomas!

Madman!

Daniel.

Morning.

You go with me now.

Okay.

Yu Qian is not a kid.

Please. Just leave her alone.

Daniel.

You don't understand.

Yu Qian is my little sister. My only little sister.

She's my responsibility.

Okay? So, why do you bring me here?

-You are my best friend. -Oh gosh.

The director of the hospital.

Yu Qian's superior. I mean, who else is going to be the better witness?

Oh my God. Crazy brother.

Look.

Liao Yu.

Going for a run?

-Mr Qiao. -Dr Liao.

Take your time.

I came here today to see you because

I have some very important things I want to discuss with you.

Hello, Xiao Cong.

[Dr Qiao.]

What is it?

Nothing, actually.

I heard that Dr Qiao built a new hospital.

I'm not sure about that.

Well.

How are you lately?

I'm fine.

It's just that I sprained my ankle before this.

You sprained your ankle?

I'll visit you then.

It's okay.

Dr Liao will visit me every day.

Anything else?

Rest well then.

Well. I think I've made my perspective very clear.

I expect you to agree not to see Yu Qian.

In fact, Director Li is here to be our witness.

How about that.

You should give him more time.

You know.

Whose side are you on?

I don't need time to think.

Dr Qiao.

Yu Qian and I are adults.

Please let us make the decision

about our relationship.

Ya. Dr Liao says...

Thank you. I understand some Chinese.

Thank you.

Great.

Thank you.

Now.

You don't agree.

You think you know what make Yu Qian happy?

I think I know. I don't think it's this.

Maybe you should tell her about your family.

Family?

I know people in China. It's not hard to get information.

I know Dr Liao has been without a girlfriend for many years.

Why is that?

Why is a healthy, able-bodied doctor like you just

just work all the time and never been married?

Mr Qiao.

I have the right

to keep my privacy.

Ya.

Well, if that's the case, what are you afraid of?

Dr Liao.

I think you owe it to Yu Qian to be honest.

And tell her about you family situation.

So, again,

we are all in agreement that this is not a good idea.

Director Li is our witness.

Why do you have to make the situation like this?

Like what?

I'm not forcing anything, I just want everyone to know the truth.

And,

I know about your family.

I know everything.

I know why you are staying in the hospital dorm.

I know why no girl wants to get involved with you.

Because once they find out about your financial burdens, they will leave.

Once they get more involved with you, they understand

what deep financial burdens you have.

And why haven't you told Yu Qian that? Is it because she's so nice?

She's naive.

Or is it because you think that we are rich

and then, we are going to help you with your situation?

Thomas.

Too much,

Sorry.

Maybe it was.

I apologise.

But,

I think Yu Qian deserves to know the truth and if you don't tell her,

I have reason to believe that you are not being sincere.

And I promise you.

I will not let my sister be with a liar.

From the beginning

until now, I didn't mean to hurt her and lie to her, okay?

Fine. For Yu Qian,

I'll give her a full explanation.

Liao Yu...

Okay. Settled. Let's go.

Is it necessary?

Yes, I think so.

Come on.

[Dr Qiao Yu Qian]

[Dr Qiao Yu Qian]

What's wrong with you?

Why didn't you pick up your phone?

I was worried about you.

I was worried that something might happen to you.

When will you reach here?

I've been waiting a long time for you.

Are you going to be late today?

No. You...

What do you mean?

I

won't go there today. Dr Qiao.

From now on,

let's not see each other anymore.

Here.

These are the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for Director Li. Here.

Take back your gifts.

He hopped into a private hospital.

He won't have time for these.

Li Tian Cheng is going to work for a private hospital?

Is that the reason he resigned?

Impossible.

I think so too.

But he told me that himself.

Liao Yu.

I heard that Dr Qiao went to a private hospital too.

Really?

You don't know?

I don't know.

Aren't you quite close?

You didn't talk about this

or you didn't ask her about it?

We didn't talk about it.

You didn't talk about it?

They did.

Liao Yu.

Look into my eyes and say it again.

Are you trying to act like you are not close to Dr Qiao?

What's wrong with you today?

-We didn't talk about it. -Fine.

I'll say it then.

You went to visit Dr Qiao every day.

Why won't you admit it?

Why won't admit your relationship with Dr Qiao?

Enough, Xiao Cong.

I know that you care about Dr Qiao.

I can only say that Dr Qiao and I

are living different lives.

We are from two different worlds.

So, there's nothing to admit.

Cut the nonsense.

This is what you thought.

But what about Dr Qiao?

Does she think the same way too?

Have you ever thought about her feelings?

He never thought about my feelings.

Why do you keep butting in?

Just continue with your conversation.

No matter what,

everything has ended now.

Zhou Yue. Listen.

Everything has ended now.

He was trying to act distant just now.

And now, he said that everything has ended. So fake.

Xiao Cong.

If you really like someone,

she'll become your responsibility. You can't just have her.

I know you are just thinking about our feelings right now.

But for me,

you have to be responsible for that love.

You are not young anymore.

If you can't understand it before his, from today onwards,

I hope that you can try to understand.

Don't go.

Why did he lecture me instead?

You like Dr Qiao, right?

Yes.

Unlike someone.

I dare to admit it.

You don't know about Liao Yu's family situation.

Moreover,

you like Dr Qiao

and Dr Qiao likes Dr Liao.

Dr Liao rejected Dr Qiao.

You can't blame Liao Yu, right?

I'm angry not because Dr Qiao chose Dr Liao.

I'm angry because Dr Liao doesn't cherish her.

No.

Dr Liao really cherishes her.

A person like him

will not start a relationship without care.

But once it started,

he will be serious about it.

He'll take responsibility of it.

And he'll want it to bear fruit.

Unlike someone.

When he finds out that he likes someone,

he wants to be together without a care.

So, they got together.

But then, he finds out that they are not suitable for each other.

And he just left when I haven't even said anything yet!

That's so infuriating!

Yes.

He's cruel.

Think about it yourself.

Why did it sound like you are talking about yourself?

What did you guys do today?

What's wrong?

Thomas.

Here it goes.

What's going on, Cindy?

Ask him.

What have you done to Dr Liao?

What makes you think we talked to Dr Liao?

He.

Hey, look.

This is between you and your sister, okay?

Don't drag me in.

Wait.

What's happening?

What happened to Dr Liao?

You know...

Yu Qian and Liao Yu...

And Thomas...

Well, I think Dr Liao is really cute.

Yeah, I think so too.

Kelly, you don't know the truth about Dr Liao's family, okay?

Thomas, let me tell you.

If I love Dr Liao,

I will marry him.

And I don't care what his family is like.

If I don't love him,

I won't marry him even if he's a prince.

You are so childish.

You don't know anything about hardship.

Since your childhood, you've always had it easy for you.

Do you really think love is going to be enough to take you all the way through?

Come on.

You just look down on me.

Cindy.

Believe me. Dr Liao isn't worth it. Okay. I...

I think you are just bored.

We have so many businesses in the home, okay?

And the mine has been passed to the Qiao family for generations.

Lately, I've been too busy to look after it

because of the new research company but maybe I can give it to you.

Use the mine in exchange for Dr Liao?

Ridiculous.

Li Tian Cheng, even you are not taking my side.

You are so fake.

I am taking...

Xu.

Sir.

-Take her home. -Okay.

Let's eat.

Why did you give her? The mine to Cindy?

What if Cindy doesn't know how to do business?

She doesn't know.

But she can learn.

What if she loses all of the money?

Have you thought about it?

She won't.

The mine has a very stable foundation.

It's not easy to lose money.

It's not easy to lose money.

I think there's a little bit of problem in this logic.

So, you know that she's going to lose money but you don't care.

What kind of logic is that?

Have you lost your mind?

Cindy is my sister.

My only relative.

Even if the mine loses money,

I don't care.

Cindy is your only relative.

What about me?

I am your wife.

Plus, we have this large loan because of the research centre.

And the mine is the only profitable business for Qiao family right now.

If she loses all the money,

we'll all have to starve.

Don't be so negative.

Maybe Cindy can run the mine better than me.

Do you even believe your own words?

Kelly.

The mine is Qiao's generational business.

Cindy is the daughter of the Qiao family.

She has birth rights to inherit the mine.

There's no need to discuss this.

Even if you are my wife,

Qiao's business can only be Qiao's.

The mine can only be Cindy's.

Cindy doesn't even want the mine!

Okay? Wake up!

She wants to be a doctor!

You know, I used to think that Cindy was childish and even silly.

But this time, I kind of admire her.

Being a doctor is her dream.

If you say you love your sister

but you don't care about her dreams, shame on you.

Plus, what do you know about love, Thomas?

You used to tell me that you love me.

But look at us now.

We don't talk about anything but business.

And I moved to this poor island because of you five years ago.

I built all of these with you together.

If you think this is all nothing,

then, I don't know what to say.

I'm so disappointed in you, Thomas.

Okay.

-Dr Huo. -Okay.

I'm sorry. I don't know that you are on the phone. Please continue.

I'm done now. Come. Take a seat.

Dr Huo, this is a photo that I've taken in Linshui Village.

Let me show you.

When I went back at night,

I kept thinking that something is not right.

There's another photo after that.

So, I have to report this to you.

This might be a new kind of bird flu.

If it's really a new kind of bird flu,

we have to pay even more attention to it.

Do you know?

I've seen similar cases for many days already.

The strange thing is,

every time I found a dead chicken, it would be gone in a blink of an eye.

It feels like someone

is following me to collect the chicken.

How about this. Send me these photos.

I'll ask the officer of WHO to help me investigate in this matter.

Okay. I'll send them to you then.

Do you think we can apply for a search warrant

from the Health Department based on these photos

to investigate this matter in Linshui Village?

They won't approve based on this photo alone.

How about this.

No need to trouble yourself with this. I'll take care of it.

But I'm the one who found these clues. I want to be part of it.

What is it?

You don't trust me?

Of course not.

But so many strange things have happened in Linshui Village lately.

I'm quite curious about it. That's why I want to investigate.

You should do your own job well first.

Confirming an outbreak

is a serious matter.

We can't be careless about it.

If we just barge into the village now to investigate,

the friendship that we've just built with the villagers will be gone.

Learn from Xie Hua's past.

Dr Huo.

I can help you to investigate it in secret.

I told you.

Stay out of this.

-Dr Huo. -Zhou Yue.

What's the first rule of the team?

-Obey the leader's command. -Yes. That's right.

Do you want to copy it 20 times again?

Let me tell you again.

Do you own job well first before you think about other things.

Go now.

Go now.

She's really stubborn. She even talked back to me.

That's Zhou Yue for you.

You have to promise me

not to let her join the investigation.

Are you threatening me now?

Dr Huo.

You are the one who sanctioned this mission.

You have to be responsible for me.

[I want to move.]

[What?]

[Move?]

[No. Dr Huo.]

[Listen to me first. It's like this.]

[I've been wanting to find out the truth about the polio.]

[But based on the current situation,]

[where do you think the virus comes from?]

[I've been thinking about it too.]

[Since there had never been polio patient on Zal Island before,]

[then,]

[the virus can only come from one place.]

[Qiao's research centre.]

[I'm going to move there.]

[Okay.]

[You want to move?]

[You have my approval.]

The less she knows, the better it is. I don't want any more accidents.

[I understand how you feel.]

From what I found out,

this is a serious matter.

The dead chicken that Zhou Yue showed me

is really a rare condition.

Yes.

I wanted to go back for the dead chicken.

But only some feathers were left.

The dead chicken was gone.

I think someone in the village is trying to

cover the truth about this bird flu.

This has also proven that our guess is correct.

You have to be careful.

If there's anything or if you need anything,

call me at once.

Okay. I'll tell John about this plan as well.

Okay. We'll keep in contact.

Okay.

You heard that?

We can't let Zhou Yue find out about this.

Is it wise to lie to her again?

I'm not lying to her.

This is just a white lie.

Have you forgotten about the fake Hank last time? She was so mad.

This case is way more serious.

What happened?

Hazmat suit.

Hazmat suit?

-[It's okay. I'll do it myself.] -[I'm the one who...]

[Don't you understand? Get lost!]

[Da Bang.]

[The box is not broken.]

That kind of Hazmat suit is only used in an advanced biological laboratory

or the infectious disease ward.

Qiao's research centre is doing plant extraction.

Why do they need a Hazmat suit?

I suspect that

the source of the poliovirus that we can't find

comes from the research centre.

But a plant extraction research centre

doesn't have the facilities

to do research in virus, right?

That's why the virus got out.

Not only polio virus,

I'm sure that there are other viruses inside the research centre.

Qiao's research centre is illegally doing research on the virus

and the virus got out?

Daniel, this is serious.

This is a very serious accusation. Do you know that?

I know.

Virology is not Thomas's and Kelly's field of expertise.

So, they can't become virologists.

A certain Dr Jones suddenly joined their research centre.

Until now, I still don't know who he is actually.

I don't know anything about him.

I asked you here to know this.

Do you think the police can investigate?

Do you have evidence?

No.

Anyone else saw the Hazmat suit?

Nope.

Then, I can't apply for a search warrant.

If my guess is right,

that research centre is a time bomb.

How sure are you that you are right?

I hope that I'm wrong.

If I'm wrong in the end, I'm willing to accept the consequences.

But the police need evidence to start an investigation.

Besides, with Qiao Xiang Wan's power now, it's not easy to investigate her.

I can only do it in secret.

Do you think

you can apply from your superior to let me

investigate this matter in secret?

I can promise you that.

What about Dr Zhou?

When do you plan to tell her?

What should we do next?

The researched centre is split into two parts.

I've been to Kelly's side many times. Nothing unusual.

But for Dr Jones's side, I'm not allowed to go in.

And the door is always locked.

So mysterious.

Maybe he's hiding something.

Ya. Maybe.

Thomas's deaf and mute housekeeper, Auntie Pan,

cooks for the people in the research centre.

She has the key to the back door for the centre.

And she always hangs the key together with the house key.

Every time she comes back, she'll put them in the drawer

and take them out when she leaves the house.

I can get her keys at night

and climb up through the back door of the research centre.

But you can just reach Kelly's side by doing so.

How will you get into Dr Jones's lab?

Can you steal his key too?

I don't need a key. His side is secured by an electronic lock.

The research centre is an old-school building.

But his is electronic lock with access card.

It means that

they have renovated the place.

The problem now is, I can't get the access card.

Easy.

Cut off the power supply.

Even if you cut the power,

the electronic lock is still locked.

If your guess is right and

the research centre is doing illegal research on virus,

Dr Jones must be the one doing it.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Calm yourself down.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

You have to focus on your job.

Concentrate and

put all of your thoughts

into the things that you should do.

Very good.

[Dr Xie.]

[What's wrong?]

[Touch their legs.]

[Polio...]

[In the future, they'll turn this village into a hospital]

[and the new director is standing right in front of you.]

[Xiao Liu.]

[Can you see me?]

[Xiao Liu, wake up.]

[Qiao's Research Centre]

Do we have to send him away so soon?

Can't he stay here any longer?

Dr Zhou, Matron Ye.

I'm really sorry.

I know that you've taken good care of Little Dumpling.

But he's already more than four months old.

He can't continue to stay in the hospital.

You are right.

After all, a hospital is not the place for a baby to grow up.

Leave Little Dumpling to me without any worries.

After the earthquake, our state government

is taking good care of our welfare centre now.

They've given us more funds.

The Health Department and Education Department often visit us too.

Little Dumpling will grow up healthily and happily with

other young survivors of the earthquake.

If that's the case, the welfare centre is doing way better than our hospital.

Moreover,

it's good for Little Dumpling to grow up together

with a group of children.

He'll be happy there.

I know, Sis Hong.

But I can't bear to let him go.

When I first came to Zal Island,

he's the first child I delivered

after the earthquake.

Although I've delivered many babies,

he's the only one who I've spent four months with.

So, he's different to me.

I know. I know that you are sad.

She can't bear it.

She has treated Little Dumpling like her own child.

Yes.

I feel sad too.

Enough.

We can always visit him at the welfare centre, right?

Yes. You are always welcomed there.

Thank you.

We will visit him often.

You've taken a good care of the baby.

He's so cute. You've done well.

It's our duty,

Little Dumpling.

You've grown up now.

Time to leave.

You are a man now.

You have to listen to Director Wen.

Don't cry.

I heard that Director Li and Dr Zhou

delivered Little Dumpling in the ruins.

Little Dumpling.

They are your second parents.

Your mother is here. Where's your father?

Why isn't Director Li here?

Where is he?

Zhou Yue.

Director Li must be busy with other things.

So, he can't come today.

He's a deserter. No need to find excuse for him.

Xiao Cong.

Little Dumpling.

Daddy Daniel loves you very much.

He can't come here today

because he has something urgent to do.

But he'll visit you soon, okay?

Be good.

Director, these are Little Dumpling's daily necessities.

And these are the toys, clothes and food that we've prepared for him.

Let Xin Lu go with you.

She'll carry these for you.

Thank you.

I'll leave the child to you.

-Thank you. -Don't worry.

Give me the baby.

Come, Little Dumpling.

Be good.

Don't worry. We'll take good care of him.

We'll get going now.

Don't cry, Little Dumpling.

Be good.

Okay. Be good.

Take care of him well.

You are so good, Little Dumpling.

I feel so bad when the baby cried.

Yue Mei?

I just came here to visit Little Dumpling.

Since you are here, why don't you greet us?

Let's go in and talk. Let's go.

Let's go.

So, you've been here a few times.

Why didn't you greet us?

Come. Let's take a seat.

I...

I committed suicide before.

I'm afraid that you'll consider me as dangerous

and won't let me go near to him or visit him.

Committing suicide

is a bad thing.

I know, Dr Zhou.

I won't commit suicide again.

You are right.

Committing suicide for a man

is too foolish.

Actually, I didn't commit suicide

because of him.

I did it because of my baby.

I was an orphan.

I know that

Jiang Wa Long treated me very badly.

His personality was bad too.

But what could I do?

I married him

and carried his child.

When he hit me

and tortured me,

I just thought about my baby.

I could just endure it.

I even thought that

when the baby was out,

his temper would change.

Yue Mei.

I don't know if you've heard this proverb in Chinese or not. But it talks about

how a leopard never changes his spots.

Have you heard that before?

Yes, I have.

But what could I do?

I have no relatives.

I have no job.

Who could I rely on if not him?

Now, a few months have passed.

I've already thought it through.

He didn't take care of me and my baby at all.

He insisted on driving despite being drunk.

Not only he killed himself,

he even killed my baby.

Dr Zhou, do you know?

My baby

was already this big.

He would kick my belly with a strong kick.

I could feel him.

He would talk to me.

He asked me

to

stay strong.

And he said that he would grow up

to be a healthy and energetic baby.

He said that he would protect me.

He said that he would protect me.

I was pregnant with him for five months.

And he had given me five months of hope.

But,

he is gone before he could even lay an eye on me.

Yue Mei.

Everything is in the past now.

We have to pull ourselves together.

You have to pull yourself together.

Dr Zhou.

I know that you are a good person.

You saved me.

During the time in this hospital,

I had learnt some things from you.

I want to know this.

Can I still get pregnant?

Based on my profession,

during the surgery, I didn't see

a lot of damage to your uterus.

So, whether or not you can be pregnant

totally depends on your state of recovery.

I'm already satisfied with this.

As long as there is still hope,

I will continue to live.

Yue Mei.

As long as you are alive,

there'll be hope.

It's okay now.

Everything will get better.

Tian Cheng.

Are you busy tonight?

Xiang Wan and I will have dinner with Robert and his father.

Join us.

This kind of thing doesn't suit me.

Go ahead without me.

I want to run. I haven't run in a long time.

What an excuse.

Okay. I'll ask Auntie Pan to cook you some curry. You like it, right?

Great.

See you tonight.
