Mary does not tell Grayson of her past. She was raised in the slums, and became the wife of Red Shang, a notorious character. On reading of his death in a raid, she renounced her old life and entered the hospital. The report of Red's death was incorrect, and he was surprised to see her on the streets with her eon, after he had served his term in prison. He followed her home, got the doctor away by means of a fake phone call, and entered the house. Mary was dumbfounded when he revealed himself and threatened her, and she save him her necklace to keep silent. Just after leaving, he was struck by Dr. Grayson's auto, and the doctor rushed him into the house, and found an immediate operation was necessary and asked Mary to assist. While he was in the next room preparing, Mary secured the necklace. The doctor told her the slightest pressure on the spine would cause death, and she was about to yield to the temptation when he returned to the room. The operation proceeds, and she can hardly wait for advice of the result, when the doctor tells her there is no hope. Mary sinks into her husband's arms with a silent prayer of thanksgiving for her deliverance.
