Only, after giving birth to their son, Molly's healthy deteriorates rapidly, leaving her sick in hospital, unresponsive to treatment.

But Molly had always been adamant that she would never contact Susannah again. So much so that she's hidden her sister's number, ensuring that she'd always think twice before inviting trouble back into her life.
