dismisses the heart-broken wife, who returns home. En route, she nearly dies in a shipping accident and uses the opportunity to spread rumors of her death before returning to the city incognito. Ng and Lam are on the verge of marrying
when Ng's mother reveals that they are brother and sister! Ng and his wife are reconciled and return to the country to dedicate their lives to helping children.
