Chapter 851 Two Unborn Babies
Chapter 851 Two Unborn Babies
Watching Anthony's expression as he strategized, Thalia couldn't help but furrow her brows.
He looked strikingly similar to Kenneth, as if they were the epitome of resemblance.
As Thalia watched him, she furrowed her eyebrows unhappily as if somewhat displeased.
Anthony noticed her expression and raised his eyebrows slightly. “What does that look of yours mean?”
Thalia wasn't afraid of offending him and spoke bluntly, “Tell me. You're a nice kid, but why did you have to resemble Kenneth of all people? You're so annoying!”
Anthony asked, “How does that me make me annoying?”
“Don't you think so? You're so irritating!” Thalia exclaimed.
As for the grudge between Thalia and Kenneth, Anthony didn't say much about it. It wasn't the first time they couldn't get along well, so it was normal for them to dislike each other.
Anthony narrowed his eyes, casting her a languid gaze. “So, who do you think I should resemble?”
“Of course it's Nat. People always say, daughters take after their fathers, and sons take after their mothers. Somehow, you're an exception. How come you didn't take after even a tiny fraction of Nat's beauty and temperament?” Thalia couldn't help but say.
Upon hearing this, Anthony looked at Thalia and asked, “How am I not like her? Didn't I take her skill?”
After hearing that, Thalia exclaimed, “If you could just swap them, you wouldn't be so annoying to me!”
Anthony replied, “If I take after Daddy's skills and personality, there's a high chance that we wouldn't be friends when we met, but enemies instead!”
“Why?”
“Because I would drive you crazy.”
“You're doing that now,” Thalia said.
Upon hearing that, Anthony slightly raised his eyebrows. “Well, that's not my problem then.”
“Do you mean it's my problem?”
“I didn't say that, though.”
“Isn't that what you mean?”
As the two people were engaged in a heated argument, they suddenly heard a shout.
“Come on!”
Thalia and Anthony were startled and turned their heads to look at Miguel. At this moment, they saw him leaning against the chair, fast asleep. The loud shout they had just heard was him sleep-talking.
Thalia turned her head and glanced at Anthony. “What's wrong with him?”
Anthony couldn't help but smile. “He's probably leveling up in his dreams!”
“Look at how anxious he is.” Thalia shook her head helplessly.
Anthony didn't say anything more. His gaze shifted toward the window.
Meanwhile, at the doorway of the hospital, Denise and Benjamin looked at each other because they had never done such a thing before.
“How about you go first, Ben?” Denise asked.
“You look adorable. You should go first.”
Denise was at a loss for words. “I... Ben, your compliment seems a bit deliberate.”
“I'm serious,” Benjamin said.
“But I've never done something like this before.”
“I don't either!”
“Well...”
“Just treat it like acting, and the person inside is the one you're performing for,” Benjamin said.
Upon hearing this, Denise was slightly taken aback. She thought for a moment and tried to imagine it. After a while, she looked at Benjamin and said, “That actually works.”
Upon hearing this, Benjamin immediately curled his lips and said, “Well, in that case, please go ahead.”
Denise took a deep breath. “Watch me. I'm going in!”
So, Denise took the lead and was just about to knock on the door when suddenly, it opened from the inside. A nurse stood there.
Denise looked up and saw the person in front of her, then revealed a smile.
The nurse asked, “Who are you?”
Denise smiled and said, “We're here to visit. May I ask how the patient is doing?”
At that, the nurse sighed. “The situation isn't great. You all should go in and take a look.”
Upon hearing this, Denise nodded and then walked inside.
Since it was just two children, the nurse didn't give it much thought. After watching them enter, she closed the door right away.
When Denise and Benjamin entered the room, they saw Lina lying on the bed with an oxygen tank beside her. She looked as if she could pass away at any moment.
Denise and Benjamin exchanged glances and then walked to the bedside.
They each stood on one side of the bed.
It seemed as if Lina heard some noise, and her eyelids fluttered slightly. However, what came into her view was Denise's adorable and well-behaved smile.
Upon seeing her, Lina felt as if she were in a dream. She was momentarily stunned, and then a tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
Denise watched with furrowed eyebrows. She immediately took a piece of tissue from the side and began to help her wipe the tear off.
“What's wrong? Why are you crying?” Denise asked.
The more she asked and was considerate, Lina cried more.
“Cora, I'm sorry,” Lena suddenly said.
Cora?
Upon hearing the name, Denise looked up at Benjamin.
He didn't speak, but there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
Although the two didn't speak, they could roughly guess that Cora was her unborn child.
At this moment, Lina probably thought she was dreaming.
Benjamin looked at Denise and slightly nodded.
After getting the hint, Denise averted her gaze and looked at Lina. At this moment, she placed her small hand on Lina's hand and then smiled as she spoke, “You don't need to apologize. I know you didn't do it on purpose, and I also know that you've tried your best. I don't blame you, and I was never mad at you.”
“Cora...” Lena sobbed, choking on her tears.
“I know you'll definitely be a great mom if you have the chance to,” Denise said.
Lina sobbed harder as if the sadness and grievance pent up in her chest for years were about to burst out.
“Cora, sorry. I'm really sorry...”
Lina kept apologizing, and it was evident that she was very upset.
It was the easiest to move a child. When Denise saw Lina like that, her eyes also gradually turned red. She didn't say much and just kept comforting her emotions.
Time ticked by just like that.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Perhaps because of the release of emotions, the pent-up frustrations accumulated in Lina's heart for many years seemed to dissipate.
After crying, Lina actually seemed to feel much better.
She composed herself, looking at Denise and Benjamin beside her and said, “Thank you.”
Denise looked at her, “Why are you thanking us?”
Lina looked at her. “I almost gave birth to twins once. The doctor said it was a boy and a girl, just like you two.”
“Are there two babies?” Denise asked in surprise.
Lina nodded.
Benjamin looked at Denise in shock once again.
Shouldn't it just be one?
Lina continued, “At that time, I only named the girl and wanted to let the father name the boy. He didn't even know I had twins.”
There was a slight discomfort in her heart.
Denise was a child with a strong sense of empathy. Hearing that, she felt nothing but shock and sadness. Perhaps as a twin herself, her emotions got more complicated. Those two children could have also come into this world like us, feeling their parents' love, but their chance was taken away!
Denise's eyes narrowed slightly while a hint of sorrow flashed in them.
