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."

"Mom, that's not it. I want to forgive him. He knows he was wrong, and has been trying to make amends. I want to move on and live a good life," Sydney explained.

Wesley watched Sydney's back silently, feeling a lump in his throat, sadness washing over him. If only it were all true! But deep down, he knew Sydney was just comforting Rebecca.

Rebecca squeezed Sydney's hand. "Alright, dear, you do what makes you happy. No matter what, you will always be a Spencer."
