Sydney was thunderstruck.

She stared at the man before her, dumbfounded. "What did you say?"

Geoffrey looked at her back with red-rimmed eyes as he held her shoulders tight. "Syd, Sebastian is our son. He didn't die. I kept him by my side all this while." Sydney's eyes widened in shock and disbelief. "Impossible.... That's impossible."

""It's true!"

"No! Let me go, let me go!"

Sydney had wanted to run. She was sure Geoffrey was lying to her. He definitely was-how could Sebastian be her son?

Sydney struggled against his hold, but Geoffrey kept her in his tight embrace.

"Syd, calm down. Hear me out!"

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening! Let me go, let me go! Sebastian is your and Xyla's son, not mine! Don't even think about fooling me!"

"He is your son. Xyla and I have only one daughter, and she's Yvonne! Sebastian is our son, I'm not lying to you! If I were lying, I swear I'll die a terrible death!"

"No! I don't believe you! You're scum who's capable of saying anything. So what if you swear? If those things worked, there wouldn't be bad guys in this world, hah!" Sydney laughed wildly. "He is Xyla Jackson's son, and has nothing to do with me. I saw with my own eyes that she was pregnant with your baby. That baby couldn't possibly be Yvonne. She's younger than Sebastian by a few years. Did she only give birth to Yvonne after a few years?"

Geoffrey explained, "Xyla wasn't actually pregnant at that time. She was faking it."

"What did you say?" Sydney looked at him, shell-shocked. "Faking it?"

"That's right. Her parents disapproved of us being together, so she faked a pregnancy to marry me. When she found out that I had another woman before, who was pregnant with my baby, I promised her I would let her raise the baby after the baby was born." Sydney was dumbfounded at Geoffrey's explanation, and her mind was a complete mess.

"You mean Xyla knew we were together and that I even had your baby, but she still wanted to marry you and even asked to raise my baby? So when the baby was born, you lied to me that the baby died when you actually made him Xyla's son?!" Sydney's brain was on the verge of exploding.

Geoffrey nodded with a pained look on his face. "Yes, so your child isn't dead. He has been with the Carters all this while, growing up safe and sound. He's Sebastian. If you don't believe me, you can do a DNA test with him. He really is your biological son." Sydney clenched her fists and slapped Geoffrey hard, yelling, "You bastard! How could you do something like this? You snatched my baby away and hid the truth from me for so many years! Now, you're telling me that you snatched my baby away and gave it to another woman to raise him as her own! I'd rather you never told me the truth!"

Her son was snatched away by a man she used to love so that another woman could raise him. She had thought that her baby was dead for so many years.

She was now suddenly hurtled into awareness of the truth. As it turned out, the man she had always looked on in disdain, the man she kept calling a bastard, was her very own son.

"I'm sorry, Syd. I'm sorry," Geoffrey apologized. "I know I did wrong, but I had no choice at that time. It was my only chance. I admit that I was a bastard. Please give me a chance to make it up to you."
