Lillian Hall was battling cancer and hid it from her family so she would not be a burden. Every day she slaved away at the home of her son, Michael White. When she finally found the courage to remarry Wesley Edwards, a man who had secretly loved her for thirty years, Michael and his wife did everything in their power to stop her. They humiliated her in public until she collapsed, coughing up blood. Then Wesley's real identity came out: he was the former chairman of Aerra Group, a conglomerate worth tens of billions. Broken by her son's worst acts, from insurance fraud to forcing a marriage on her, Lillian finally decided to live for herself. In the end, her surgery succeeded, and she spent her remaining years in peace at Wesley's side.
