Seven years earlier, Joanna learned she had lymphoma and, rather than burden Ethan, orchestrated a false betrayal that sent him to London. When he comes back, he is convinced she is a gold-digger and coerces her into a marriage that feels like a cage. Joanna keeps her relapsing cancer secret while enduring his contempt. The revelation arrives only after she dies. Consumed by guilt, Ethan discloses the full story, gives his wealth to a cancer foundation, and ends his own life to remain with her.
