However, just as Stacey was recovering, Tyler was diagnosed with terminal cancer. He passed away a few months later, and although Stacey no longer had romantic feelings for him, she mourned for her daughter’s sake.
Mary, who was about to get married, postponed the news of her engagement until after her father’s death. On Mary’s wedding day, Stacey was overwhelmed with emotion, giving a heartfelt speech that honored Tyler’s memory.
But just as Stacey finished her speech, she heard a voice from behind. It was Mark, alive and well. Shocked, Stacey confronted him, learning that his supposed death had been a lie told by his envious colleague.
Relieved and overjoyed, Stacey embraced Mark, and he proposed to her right then. Amidst cheers from the wedding guests, they rekindled their love, ready to start a new chapter together.
