Chapter 1410 Two Baby Boys


    Finally, the door to the delivery room swung open, and the unmistakable sound of two babies'' cries echoed from within.


    The nurse emerged, wheeling out the twins with a warm smile. "Congrattions. Both the mother and children are safe and healthy."


    Nathaniel, however, paid no attention to the newborns. Instead, he strode straight toward the delivery room.


    Ceciliay on the birthing bed, utterly drained, her strengthpletely spent.


    "Ceci," Nathaniel called out.


    Cecilia forced a smile. "I''m fine now."N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    Seeing her like this-exhausted yet trying to put on a brave front-made Nathaniel''s heart ache all the more.


    "Let''s not have any more kids in the future," Nathaniel said softly.


    "Mm-hmm, okay," Cecilia murmured weakly. After a moment, she nced around. "Where are our babies?"


    "They''re outside. They''re very healthy," he replied.


    Hearing this, Cecilia felt a wave of relief wash over her, but curiosity soon got the better of her. "Are they boys or girls?"


    Nathaniel hesitated, his expression momentarily nk.


    "Wait here. I''ll go check," he said, rising quickly.


    In his worry over Cecilia, he realized he''d been so consumed by her well-being that he hadpletely forgotten to ask about the babies. As he exited the room, he saw Elliot and Jonathan, who were visibly disappointed.


    "Where are the babies?" Nathaniel asked.


    Vivian clicked her tongue in mild exasperation. "Only now you remember the babies? The nurse already took them to the newborn unit."


    Nathaniel admitted, "I forgot to check on them. Are they boys or girls?"


    "They''re two handsome littleds," Vivian replied with a smirk.


    Hearing that, Nathaniel felt disappointed, much like Elliot and Jonathan.


    He yearned for a daughter, preferably one just like Cecilia.


    Afterward, Nathaniel returned to inform Cecilia about the babies'' gender.


    Hearing the news, she finally drifted into a deep, peaceful sleep.


    While Cecilia rested, Vivian, Charlotte, and the others busied themselves watching over the newborns. Meanwhile, the doctor remained tirelessly upied, preparing for Elliot''s uing surgery. "They''re so tiny and adorable," Charlotte said, her motherly love evident in her glowing expression.


    Jonathan let out a dramatic sigh. "If only one of them had been a sister."


    Vivian chuckled softly, trying to reassure him. "It''s still wonderful to have two younger brothers. Don''t be upset."


    Jonathan''s eyes suddenly lit up with hope as he turned to her. "Vivian, when are you going to have a baby? Can you give me and Eli two little sisters?"


    "Exactly, one for each of us," Elliot chimed in enthusiastically.


    Vivian blinked, utterly at a loss for words.


    "Stop dreaming," Vivian said with a


    huff. "If only Reould just choose to have a daughter or a son! And what''s this nonsense about one for each of you? You two sure have some nerve. Why should you get what you want when I''m the one doing all the work?"


    Exasperation clear in her tone, she

    Now united against amon adversary, Vivian and Zachary stood firm. Meanwhile, Jonathan smirked to himself, feeling rather pleased with his matchmaking skills.


    Outside the room, lively chatter filled the air. When Cecilia finally woke up, her thoughts immediately turned to Elliot. Unable to contain her anxiety, she asked about the results of his matching test.


    "Calm down. It hasn''te out yet," Nathaniel said gently, his voice steady and reassuring.


    "Right," Cecilia murmured, nodding. The whirlwind of recent events had left her mind inplete disarray.


    "Try to get some more rest," Nathaniel urged softly.


    "All right," she agreed, her exhaustion evident. Nathaniel stayed by her side, apanying her as they rested together.


    Throughout the day, Cecilia''s friends stopped by to visit the babies.


    Even Magnus, who hadn''t been around in a while, made an appearance. He brought along two exquisite golden essories as gifts for the newborns.


    "You''ve worked hard, Cecilia. Rest well and take good care of yourself," he said.


    "I will." Cecilia nodded in contentment.


    After leaving, Magnus stepped into a car, where Nichs was already waiting inside.


    "How is she?" Nichs asked, his tone calm butced with concern.


    "She just gave birth," Magnus replied. "She doesn''t look too well. Are you sure about this, Nichs?"


    Leaning back against the seat, Nichs sighed. "I''ve been waiting far too long for this."


    "But you know Cecilia will hate you for it." Magnus hesitated before speaking. There was no denying that he had changed quite a bit.


    Nichs shed a bitter smile, the corners of his mouth barely lifting. "Then let her hate me," he said quietly.


    After a moment of silence, he turned to Magnus, his gaze steady. "Don''t worry-I''ll make sure to repay you for your help."
