Chapter 664 Twins
“I’ll hold the baby. Let me take a look at my grandson.” “Yeah. I’ll hold the other one.” Miguel and Skyler stepped forward and took the two bundled-up babies from the nurses. They brought them over to Matthew.
“Look, Matt. It’s our little princess. She’s adorable.” “Matthew, look at this little rascal. He looks just like you when you were a baby. I recall seeing your baby photos before. You looked just like them.”
After listening to the two of them, Matthew looked at the babies, and his formerly heavily-disfigured face morphed into a smile.
There was a smile on Crayson’s ordinarily stern face as well. He used his right index finger to stroke the little baby girl’s face and chuckled. “Look at her brows. She’s going to take after Veronica.”
“Haha… Mr. Crayson, she hasn’t even opened her eyes yet. How do you know she looks like Veronica?” Shirley teased. Everyone chuckled along with them.
Soon, Veronica was wheeled out of the delivery room. She was unconscious after expending too much energy during labor. She had bled out a lot as well.
The group filed into the hospital ward behind her and quickly busied themselves with the cots for the two newborns. They happily fussed over the babies.
After everything that happened, the two children were like a ray of sunlight that appeared after the storm’s passing. They were all in a great mood now.
One of the babies started crying and the other followed suit, which made the crowded hospital ward even more stifling.
Veronica woke up. She leaned against the headboard and stared at the two cots beside her before flashing everyone a weak smile. “Let me take a look at the two babies.”
“Sure. I’ll bring them over to you right away.”
Shirley cradled the little girl in her arms and brought her over to Veronica. She giggled and said, “Look, Veronica. She looks just like you. She’ll be a beauty when she grows up.”
“Here. This is the little guy. I think he’s calmer than his sister.” Monica brought the other baby over. Crayson frowned and asked, “Have you and Matthew decided on the children’s names yet?”
Veronica glanced at Matthew and replied softly, “Yeah. We talked about this before. Our daughter will be Ada Kings, A-D-A, while our son will be Alan Kings.”
“Haha…” Skyler chuckled in amusement. “Roni, isn’t that a bit too simple? Ada?”
“Precisely. Ada is a simple name, but it means ‘happy’. I want her to have a happy, simple life.”
A simple name that meant happy, but in reality, it wasn’t easy to live a simple, happy life. Veronica didn’t want her children to go down the same paths she did. Matthew nodded in agreement.
The others stayed for a little longer before Veronica said, “Why don’t all of you go home first? I feel like sleeping now. Thomas, stay a little longer. I want to talk to you about something.”
The others started saying their goodbyes, peppered with all sorts of words of advice, and they promised to come again tomorrow.
Crayson and Matthew followed the others and waited outside the room. All at once, Veronica and Thomas were the only ones left in the spacious room. “Mrs. Kings?”
Thomas stood beside the bed and called out to her respectfully. Veronica stared at the two babies who were sound asleep in their cots. She had a slight frown as she asked slowly, “Did everything go smoothly? No one suspected anything, right?”
Thomas exhaled in relief and said, “It’s all thanks to you, Mrs. Kings. If you hadn’t gone along with the plan like clockwork, it would’ve all been for nothing.”
“Mmm. That’s good. I’ll leave all the power in your hands. Remember to be careful and not give anything away.” She gazed at Thomas with piercing eyes and a grave expression. “Yes, Mrs. Kings. Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong.”
“Make sure to keep everything confidential. No one else must know about this apart from you and me.” “You got it,” Thomas promised firmly.
