Being first- time parents was tough, especially when neither Halia nor Jackson had their mothers around to share knowledge and experience. Fortunately, Aunt Lily stepped in at this time to guide them.
After Emma Wu was sent to prison, Jack Wu divorced her and officially married Aunt Lily, making her his one and only wife. Even though Aunt Lily had given birth to Jaclyn and stuck by Father Wu's side for decades, their relationship had never been official on paper due to the law. But now, she was officially Jackson and Emerson's stepmother. Thus, she saw Halia as her daughter-in-law and Laurie as her granddaughter.
