After Sua Lee died, she found herself to be a ghost. She didn't mind and was actually glad that she'd be able to continue watching over her son, even if her son couldn't see her. 

She became regretful and angry at herself when she saw how much her son suffered at school. She could do nothing but watch as her son suffered in school and then eventually snapped and fought back against the bullies. 

She tearfully watched as her son dropped out and began to live on the streets. She watched as he got into fights and eventually formed his own gang. She understood that it was the only way for Donald to survive in the streets, but Sua still hated such violence.

When she saw Donald's empire expand and he started to hurt innocent people, she begged for him to stop but her pleas were left unheard. She could do nothing as Donald established his Union and became the King of Yeongdeungpo.

She continued to follow him. Although she hated how violent and cruel her sweet baby boy had become, she couldn't blame him due to the environment he was forced to grow up in. She still loved him and would continue to watch over him.

She, at the same time as Gray, yelled for Donald to move out of the way of the oncoming truck. She screamed in horror as she witnessed her son get hit, fly through the air, and fall back down onto the hard asphalt.

As the boys from Eunjang rushed down and called for am ambulance, Donald's eyes that were initially watching Gray now shifted to Sua, as if he could see her. "M...Mom?"

"Oh Donald..." Sua knew that since Donald could see her now, he had died. She held her hand out and helped his ghost out of his physical body and hugged him tightly.

"Mom..." Donald began to cry. "Mom, it's been so long...I've missed you..."

"I've missed you too, Donald..." Sua hugged him back.
