The end
Cindy holds her husband’s hand until the very end. She hates seeing the love of her life suffer so it was a relief for both of them when the suffering ended. But before this, Paul confesses that he has been holding onto a secret all these years.
Cindy is shocked, of course. After living with someone all this time and thinking you know them through and through to then find out that the person has been hiding something from you. She looks at her husband in shock. He tells her that she needs to take a good look at the painting.
Cindy doesn’t get any further explanation. Paul passes away and leaves Cindy alone in the hospital room.
