Determined to get his son back by any means, Thien sent his driver Son to Tra Vinh to kidnap Say. Son reluctantly had to follow his boss's orders, but the kidnapping failed because Lan (Mai Chinh) discovered it in time.
Son was afraid of being found guilty and ran away. In a moment of confusion, he jumped into the river and drowned. Luckily, Hue saved his life and Son told her the whole story. Sympathizing with Son's situation, Hue did not pursue the case but began to be wary of Thien's evil.
The kidnapping plot failed, Thien thought of another plan, which was to force Hue to use his money to operate on her child's heart. Suong (Ly Na Trang) was one step ahead, intercepting all the places Hue could borrow money from.
Not having enough money, Hue was extremely worried. That was also the time when Say's life was in danger, the doctor said that he had to be transferred to the city hospital for urgent heart surgery, otherwise it would cause complications.
With no other choice, Hue was forced to ask Thien for help. Thien set a condition that Hue had to give him custody of her child, and forced Hue to write a letter of disownment, never to see him again, in order to pay for Say's heart surgery.
For the sake of her child's life, Hue swallowed her tears and accepted Thien's request. But, it did not stop there. In the ultimate cruelty, Thien also made Hue swear that if she intended to take back Say, Say himself would suffer an untimely death.
