What happens
Magnificent Obsession is a 1954 American melodrama film directed by Douglas Sirk and starring Jane Wyman, Rock Hudson, and Barbara Rush. It is a remake of the 1935 film, starring Irene Dunne and Robert Taylor. Both film versions are adapted from the 1929 novel Magnificent Obsession by Lloyd C. Douglas. Sirk sometimes claimed that the story was based distantly on the Greek legend of Alcestis. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
