A woman in her 60s, estranged from her daughter for 15 years, struggles with whether to trust her sudden attempt at reconciliation. She had an affair that led to her divorce, causing her daughter, then 15, to cut ties. Despite years of effort, the daughter remained distant, even returning letters but keeping gifts.

Now, as the woman faces end-stage cancer, her daughter has reached out, crying and apologizing. While she wants to reconnect, the woman worries her daughter’s motives may be financial, as she has already left most of her wealth to her son.

Unsure if the reunion is genuine or opportunistic, she wonders if she should trust her daughter or remain cautious.
