Lies and Weddings

In 1998, while Thomas was working as a doctor in Texas, he was very surprised to encounter a young woman who was receiving cancer treatment. Although she used the name Faye Wang, he immediately recognized her as Mary Gao. However, he had been told that Mary had died after complications from an abortion in Australia.

In the present, Eden arrives in Los Angeles, where Freddy and his sister Daniela host her. She is astonished by the luxury of their daily lives, and she is startled by the knowledge that some people live so lavishly while others suffer in poverty. While dining at a fancy private club, Eden is astonished to catch sight of her father at a table with several celebrities.

Eden gradually pieces together the fact that her father has come to LA in the company of a severely ill patient (Rene Tan) who wanted to see his son (Luis Felipe). Thomas is having lunch with Luis and his entourage; Luis doesn’t seem concerned about his father and quickly invites Eden and Freddy to come and tour his lavish home.
