When Her Death Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel) novel Chapter 1410

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. “Congratulations. 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.

Cecilia lay on the birthing bed, utterly drained, her strength completely spent.

“Ceci,” Nathaniel called out.

Cecilia forced a smile. “I'm fine now.”

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 glanced 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 blank.

“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 had completely 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 little lads,” 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 occupied, preparing for Elliot's upcoming surgery.

“All right,” she agreed, her exhaustion evident. Nathaniel stayed by her side, accompanying 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 accessories 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 Nicholas was already waiting inside.

“How is she?” Nicholas asked, his tone calm but laced with concern.

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

Leaning back against the seat, Nicholas 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.

Nicholas flashed 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.”
