She didn't know when she was coming back.
And then Finn shows up out of nowhere.
And here we are with this amazing news.
And we can't find Steffy. The one thing that would heal

So how long was it before Steffy came back?

If Ridge sees that photo, it could potentially cause

It's a lot messed up. But we're going to find

thing. Finn is back. Steffy has a husband,
Hayes has his father. All because of Li.
>> Li: I wasn't sure how you'd react.

Of course, I'm grateful. When I thought my son
was going to grow up without a father, it sent me into
a deep, deep depression. And I never--
I never want to go back there again.
So yes, I am thankful. Very thankful.
That being said, um... What the hell, Li?
You let all of this time go by. All of the suffering.
I thought my husband died. My family was torn apart.

that all the way. But you didn't.
I am his wife. I deserved to know

we should all be focused on that. That the joy,

thinking about something that Steffy said before
she left for Monaco. She didn't want people
to look at her with pity. >> Ridge No, she just wanted
to come in here and feel normal. I get that.
>> Taylor: Yes. And now when she comes to work again
and she walks through those doors, she's going to be

in Monaco, I'm never going to forget that.

makes me think that anything's possible.

not tell us Finn was alie? How could you be that cruel?
>> Li: It was never my intention to hurt you.
>> Steffy: It's not just me. Did you think about
your grandson? Kelly and Hayes were
so confused. They were so upset. >> Li: I would never do
anything to harm the children. >> Steffy: That's exactly
what you did, Li. You kept Finn away from them.
How could you do that? Why would you do this?
>> Li: You're a mother. I'm sure you think a lot
about Kelly and Hayes. The futures they might have.
>> Steffy: Yes. >> Li: So you can imagine
how proud I am of Finn. Everything he's accomplished.
All I hope for is success. His career.
A future so bright. Then he met you.
Do you think I wanted my son swept up in a family
always in the tabloids? I try not to worry.
Hope for the best. >> Steffy: Were you lying
in my wedding? Pretending to be supportive?
>> Li: No. No, not at all. Finn adores you.
You fulfill him. If he's happy, then I'm happy.
But I was right to be concerned, wasn't I?
If Finn had never met you, Sheila would have never
come back into his life. She wouldn't have shot him.
I almost lost my son, Steffy. And, yes, maybe in my anger
and my despair, a part of me wanted to blame you,
your entire family. So, I kept what I was doing
to myself for good reason. Finn needed my undivided
attention. His recovery depended on it.
Getting you involved would have been a distraction
I couldn't afford. Please try to understand
the position I was in, how determined I was.
Other doctors gave up on me, but I couldn't.
>> Steffy: I would have helped you.
I would have been just as determined.
>> Li: No. You would have demanded I take him back
to the hospital. Back to the people who wrote
him off as dead. I would have said something
to you, if Finn survived. But in that moment,
his odds were so grave, I mean, so slim.
There was no reason for me to get your hopes up.
And I couldn't think or worry about anybody else
at the time. I was laser focused on him.
That's what I was doing. I would have said something
to you when he was stable, if he came to.
But if you're looking for an apology, you won't get it.
I won't apologize to you or anyone else for doing
what I had to do to save my son.
