Maybe a woman hurt him...

and he developed a psychological problem.

It's not like that.

I know. But maybe once he sees his child...

he'll get back to normal.

I wouldn't bet on it.

At first, I hoped the same thing.

I knew it.

You liked being in that wedding gown.

This garden will turn wild again after I leave.

Good morning.

I think it's time.

Don't forget to take the wedding pictures.

Okay. We really should be going.

Take good care of yourself.

And come visit us in Taiwan.

Simon, thank you for taking care of our son.

The Gao family

will always be grateful to you.

Okay, time to go.

Why are you crying?

Because I'm happy.

I'm happy, too.
