The youth recovers, but while growing up he is faced with other situations. One day, now a thirty-year-old man, he comes down with influenza. Since he is unemployed and penniless, he can't manage the situation on his own. He sends his wife to the son of his erstwhile benefactor to ask for money to buy medicine. The son, however, even more unscrupulous than his father, refuses to help him. So, the unfortunate man, who cheated death when he had leukemia, now succumbs to influenza.
