Ivy started crying in the hospital. She called Daniel; when he picked up, he asked her to call back because he is driving. Ivy said to herself, ‘He needs to hear me out.’ She called again. Daniel told her Wait, I will call back; I’m driving,’ but she insisted on talking. She told Daniel she is pregnant. The phone fell from Daniel’s ear. He tried picking the phone, but unfortunately, he lost control of the car and was involved in a terrible accident.

Ivy’s mom noticed Ivy acting strangely and told her dad she thinks Ivy might be pregnant.
Her dad saw Ivy’s big stomach and her feeling weak. He told her to talk or he’d hit her. Ivy knew she couldn’t hide it anymore, so she admitted she’s three months pregnant with her boyfriend’s baby and hasn’t been able to contact him for three months.
Her dad slapped her, calling her shameful and accusing her of ruining his reputation. Ivy’s older brother Frank also shamed her, saying she should be ashamed. Even her two younger sisters, who looked up to her, were disappointed.
When her brother asked for the boyfriend’s address, Ivy said she didn’t know it but had it written down. Her mom called her shameless for not knowing where the boy lived.
Ivy went to get the address but couldn’t find it. She checked her phone but had deleted the message with the address.
She returned to the living room in tears, saying she couldn’t find the address. This made her brother angry, telling her to leave his sight and not show her face until she gives birth.
Alone in her room, Ivy cried, feeling betrayed by her boyfriend’s broken promises.

The doctor told Edith, his son Daniel has partial memory loss; about 4 years of his life has been deleted. She shouldn’t stress him to remember anything because it will affect his health.
Madam Edith took Daniel back home. Daniel did not remember Ivy; his memory about Ivy wiped out of his head completely.
He only remembers his ex-girlfriend Lily; Lily and Daniel were two love birds, but Lily only wanted Daniel’s money. Daniel already caught her cheating on him, but he didn’t remember all that.
Daniel called Lily with his mother’s phone to come over to the house; Lily is surprised because he knew Daniel refused to forgive her 4 years ago when he caught her red-handed cheating on him.
Lily played along and visited Daniel; Daniel didn’t act like Lily never cheated on him. Lily heard Edith telling someone his son has partial memory loss and she wished to get him the best medications that will make him recover.
Lily said to herself, ‘Wow, I’m so lucky; this is my chance to get all Daniel’s money before he recovers.’
