Five years ago, diagnosed with cancer, Claire had to break up with her boyfriend Black. To spare him from pain, Claire lied that she was marrying a richer man, and the two parted bitterly. After the breakup, Claire discovered she was pregnant, and passed away shortly after giving birth to Daisy. Daisy was sent to an orphanage, with only a box left from Claire. On Christmas Eve, little Daisy called her father, Black. Unaware of the truth, Black cursed Daisy as a "bastard" and drove her out of the house. Yet soon, unable to bear it, Black brought Daisy back home as she stood in the heavy snow rummaging through a trash can. Black treated Daisy harshly, until Daisy's box spilled open. The moment he learned Daisy was his own daughter, remorse and guilt finally overwhelmed him.
