Wesley sighed internally. Sydney was a good woman, and she had said that comforting lie for Rebecca's sake.

Yet, even knowing it was a falsehood, Wesley felt a flicker of hope rise within him. He grasped Sydney's hand, seeking warmth from her touch. If only she could show him a bit of compassion, it would make him happy for days. "Really?" Rebecca beamed at the news. "Sydney, you've finally forgiven Wesley!"

Sydney approached the bedside. "Yes, I've forgiven him."

Rebecca's joy was short-lived, and her expression turned serious again. "I know how terrible he was. Don't force yourself to forgive him for my sake. If you truly don't want to be with him, I will fully support you."
