The news comes as a devastating blow, as he never expected such
a tragedy to befall Taylor, a woman he deeply cherishes. As he reflects on the impact this will have on their children, Thomas and Steffy, Ridge grapples with his feelings for both Taylor and Brooke.

For Ridge, marrying Taylor seems like the only way to provide her with some happiness in her final days. He envisions a wedding that brings their family together for one last joyful occasion, filled with warmth and cherished memories.
