Let's get drunk.
Come on.
Boss!
Come on!
To our ever-growing business!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
I'll make a toast too.
I hope that whatever difficulties Boss here encounters,
you will make it through to the end, be it heartbreak or otherwise.
- Must you mention that? - Why?
I can't say heartbreak?
Sorry.
My bad.
I won't say it again.
Hush!
Come on, cheers...
Let's drink.
Cheers.
Honey, I know you're consoling your boss, but what time are you coming back?
Does this count as work?
You guys!
Your online dating got busted by your wife?
The divorce party got canceled?
The hotel won't give us a refund?
They were all lies?
No way! Well...
Xi-men lied to you.
An-ting and I told the truth, but they're not real emergencies.
Why do you insist on staying here?
Could it be...
you want to keep me company?
Boss,
we're not just colleagues.
- We're friends too. - That's right.
If you want, you can talk to us.
We might not be able to help,
but we're more than happy to listen to you.
Boss, you know how I am, I'm very tight-lipped.
So no matter what it is, your secret is safe with me.
Thanks.
With me around, there is fun.
Come on...
Raise your glass, have a drink!
Here!
That's more like it, Boss.
I'll go get more booze.
Who's keeping who company now?
I shouldn't have been so hasty.
None of them can hold their liquor, yet they came to drink with me.
What the heck?
- Don't go! - What are you doing?
Boss...
Don't be upset.
What? I'm not upset.
Although I haven't experienced
any of the things you've been through,
I'm sure you must be hurting so much inside.
The thing is, you have so much pride, you always act like you're fine.
We have no way of consoling you.
I don't need you to console me.
See? You're always like that.
Don't you know? When you're like this,
you make people around you feel really lonely.
We don't know what you're thinking about.
So we can only presume the worst,
and this makes us even more worried.
It makes people...
Makes it so that...
people are afraid to tell you the truth.
Boss, aren't we friends?
What truth?
Get up!
Hey!
I won't spill the beans!
The truth is...
Polo is missing,
we're worried you might try to kill yourself at home.
Xiao-tong told us
we can't tell you.
It was her who told us about it.
What did I just say?
It turns out in your eyes,
I make others worry for me.
Is it because of that,
people around me are afraid to tell me the truth?
Dad, why did Mom leave when she just got back?
You really don't know anything?
Yeah.
How would I know?
Can you tell me?
What happened to her?
Also...
how did you find out she needed money?
You guys choose
to withhold certain truths,
but I'm no longer an eight-year-old.
I can find the answers.
MAMA JI'S PHONE NUMBER
How come this voice sounds so familiar?
I'll stay here and keep looking. You go get the bracelet.
I didn't expect that he's been carrying that bracelet with him.
Don't worry. Jia-wei has returned home.
But we can only take turns keeping him company for a while.
He'll have to be on his own for the long haul.
That's no good. Polo is missing.
What would Jia-wei Ji do on his own?
With your wife by your side, you seem to be doing very well.
All right. I don't have any more questions.
You may move onto the next doctor.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
POLO MISSING
It's been several days since Jia-wei Ji hasn't had Polo around.
I wonder how he's doing?
I think I should go visit him.
Just for a while.
Wait! It would be odd if I just drop in on him.
I know, I'll give him back the ring.
We have to eat at this restaurant.
- The cheeseburger... - Your treat!
Again?
You...
Hi.
Xiao-tong?
Where's Jia-wei Ji?
I have something to give him.
- Jia-wei is-- - The boss didn't come in the office.
- Why not? - We don't know why.
We just... We can't find him.
What? How long has it been?
You haven't been able to get in touch?
Did something happen to him?
It's useless. He won't answer the phone anyway.
We don't know where he is.
We're really worried that he might do something foolish.
Haven't you contacted his father or the police?
I'm afraid... it's too late!
Xiao-tong!
- Let her go. - Xiao-tong?
Why did she run out the door? What was she doing here?
What else? She came to see the boss.
Isn't the boss in Hong Kong? You didn't tell her?
Yeah, what was that all about?
This is why I said you two are too inexperienced.
It's so rare that Xiao-tong would come to see the boss,
I had to scare her and make her nervous.
Then she'll realize how important he is to her.
On the other hand, Dr. Love is just like everyone else in her own love life.
She's not that clever.
Jia-wei Ji!
Jia-wei Ji, where are you anyway?
How come you never answer the phone?
Xiao-tong!
Polo, come on.
Slow down.
Let's go.
Polo isn't here, either.
I shouldn't have left you by yourself.
Jia-wei Ji!
I'm sorry.
I turned off the phone when I got on the plane.
That's why I missed your call.
Xiao-tong Guan,
you must be tired.
Now I finally realize
how exhausted you must have been
when you were with me.
You already knew
I'm a product of an affair,
didn't you?
That's what I thought.
So...
You know everything?
It must've been trying for you to keep this secret.
Come to think of it,
the moment my mom abandoned me must have sparked off
my life-long obsession with saying goodbye properly.
Jia-wei Ji...
At the time, I could only accept that she left me.
But now I'm grown,
I can make my own decisions.
Last time, my mom came back and left again,
I knew there must have been a reason.
So I flew to Hong Kong to see my dad.
Coming!
Jia-wei?
This is such a nice surprise. What's going on?
Are you here for business?
I came just to see you.
That's never happened before! Usually it's me visiting you!
What's going on? You came just to see me?
Here you go.
Polo went missing last night.
I looked all night but couldn't find him.
Get the cops to help.
Wait, no. What about you?
Hello, Hank? I'm taking the day off.
Cancel the meetings. That's all.
Dad, you should go to work. Don't mind me.
No, it's nothing, anyway.
As for you, I'm glad you're here.
I'm really worried that you might pull the same thing as last time,
and just vanish.
Compared to worrying about Polo,
the people around me are more worried about me.
Xiao-tong had been busy for days.
She helped me look for Polo as soon as she returned home.
My employees, despite buttoning his shirt wrong,
wearing different colored shoes,
or in her PJs,
rushed over to console me at my home.
Their reaction is the same as yours.
Do you all think I'm incapable of taking any shock?
That's why you're afraid to tell me the truth? So you keep things from me?
- Jia-wei-- - Dad...
Maybe I wasn't mature enough.
But starting today,
I will take care of myself, no matter what happens.
Please believe me.
Yesterday...
I called Mom's number in the States.
A man answered the phone.
Does Mom...
Does she have another man in her life?
That's your mother's legally wedded husband.
Hello?
- Give the phone to your mother. - Who is this?
No wonder I thought that man's voice sounded familiar.
When I met your mother,
they were separated.
They were talking about getting divorced.
When I found out about that,
I'd already fallen in love with her.
Later, I was busy working.
I didn't have time for you two.
That was when
your mother and I began to have arguments.
So I didn't want to come home.
I remember you were always away.
What really pains me, though,
is that your mother, she wanted to get a divorce from her husband,
because he was too busy working.
Ironically,
when her husband's business failed,
she decided to go back.
So...
You didn't try to ask her to stay?
I did.
I offered her a deal.
I said I will finance your husband.
But on one condition, you must leave Jia-wei.
My goodness!
She agreed!
I was wrong.
I regret this decision terribly.
I sacrificed you.
You're innocent.
I neglected how much you needed your mother as a child and as a man.
It's fine.
Parenthood doesn't come with instructions.
Anyway, for so many years,
you raised me all by yourself.
You must've had it tougher than I did.
I'm sorry, Jia-wei. I'm sorry for causing irreparable damage to you.
It's my fault.
- I've done you wrong. - It's fine.
I'm strong.
After knowing the truth,
I don't think it's that bad.
If I never found out, I may never have had the chance to heal.
Silly boy.
This is being strong?
Yes. This is how I'm being strong.
Dad, we've been together so many years,
just the two of us.
We'll be fine in the future too.
Everything will be fine.
Surprisingly,
the day I found out the truth
I got the best sleep I had for a whole month.
Maybe it's because I realized that's the worst things could get,
so I felt rather relieved.
About Mama Ji, I really didn't mean to keep the truth from you.
When I saw how happy you were with her,
I had no idea how to tell you the truth.
You're so silly!
Even if I'd get hurt,
I would find out the truth sooner or later.
How long do you think you can protect me?
I'm sorry.
It's my fault. I didn't show you
I had the ability to handle the truth.
That's why you were so torn.
My dad told me
you called him.
Are you going to be all right, going to Taipei by yourself?
Of course.
You know what I mean.
Polo is missing. Xiao-tong's not with you anymore.
Your house is huge. Won't you feel lonely?
That way, we have more in common, right?
The two of us should just focus on work.
We won't be distracted by anything else.
Actually...
Xiao-tong called me.
She found out about your mother.
She called me and asked me what to do.
I told her not to tell you anything.
I was just as torn as she was.
I can tell,
she really cares about you a great deal.
Now I finally realize what you meant
by what you said when you broke up with me.
Maybe it's because of me
that you had it so tough.
You couldn't even be straightforward when we broke up,
and I blamed you for not being honest.
I was at fault too. I didn't respect you enough.
I wasn't completely honest with you about my feelings.
I just decided to break it off.
I thought that was what ending on good terms meant.
I thought I just had to make sure you're all right. I should go.
Are you all right all by yourself?
I can ask Shao-qiang to come over.
No, that's fine.
It's just...
Do you need to leave now?
Can you stay for a while longer?
What do you think?
How did Polo see us when he laid here?
He probably thought you were immature, always asking me to come here or go there.
You know?
When you went to Hualien for your business trip,
Polo was so sweet. He followed me everywhere.
Your house is so big and empty.
If I was all by myself,
I'd be too scared to stay for so many days.
You know,
the night you broke up with me,
Polo stayed in bed with me all night.
I only realized that
I'd been in bed all day because he licked me.
Thanks to him,
I had to get up to fix his food
and take him out for walks.
That's how I got better so quickly.
We often think that we're taking care of Polo,
but in fact,
Polo was taking care of us.
I've been thinking over the past couple of days,
what it was like, the last time
I took him out for a walk.
What it was like the last time I petted him.
I miss him so much.
Has it ever occurred to you?
What would you do if Polo never comes back?
I won't give up hope.
No matter how long it takes,
this spot
will always be reserved for Polo.
I know you've always been a nostalgic person.
You never know, maybe Polo is on his way home now.
Xiao-tong Guan,
what about you?
I need to go to the bathroom.
What am I doing?
Xiao-tong...
ZI-YAN XIANG CALLING
Wanna bet?
Let's bet whether or not we will see the sunrise today.
If you win,
I'll take the ring back.
But if you lose, don't ever use Murphy's Law
as an excuse to not be brave.
So you won't honor the bet?
You plan to return the ring to me?
It's getting late. I should go.
Wait.
Earlier, you said you had something to give me?
I came here today with the intention of returning your ring.
So...
You still insist on returning it?
This ring belongs to you anyway.
I shouldn't keep it.
I should go.
Xiao-lin hasn't been doing well.
Chemotherapy isn't working.
She's losing faith.
She doesn't want to do any more surgeries.
She's even hiding from me.
So I thought, maybe you could help her?
I see. I will look into her situation.
Thank you.
Come in.
Are you the relative of Room 316's patient?
- Yes, that's me. What's wrong? - The patient is missing.
You and Ahda want a divorce party?
Why are you getting divorced?
What's going on with you two?
Do you know the feeling that your life will end at any moment?
You don't need to worry about that.
Ahda and us, we'll help you fight the disease.
I don't know how much longer my struggle with the disease will be.
I want our relationship to end
on a beautiful note,
while I still have the strength to do so.
Ahda would never agree to it.
Please do me this favor.
AHDA
Hello, Ahda?
Jia-wei, has Xiao-lin contacted you?
She's with me.
Take your time.
Xiao-tong? Why are you...
Ahda asked me to help him with Xiao-lin.
Why are you running away from me?
Can't you talk to me first?
Ahda,
let's get divorced.
I don't get it.
Did I do something wrong? Is it so serious that you want a divorce?
How long has it been since you slept soundly in a bed?
How long has it been since you had a nice meal at a restaurant?
Why are you saying this now?
We promised each other, come what may, we'll support each other forever!
I know it's hard for you to take it,
but you know, if we stayed together,
we'll only worry about each other,
and it will be even more exhausting for us.
You should sit.
Ahda,
I just have one simple question for you.
Have you thought about, what your lives will be like
in five years or in 10 years?
I believe you're deeply in love with each other.
But for Xiao-lin,
her worries might be further down the road.
