Not Twins (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 64

When Xavier arrived at the hospital, he saw that the hospital ward was decorated in a homely

manner with balloons and flowers all over the place.

Celia stood in the middle, grinning happily like a little princess.

“Celia!” called out Xavier.

When she turned around and saw him, she exclaimed joyfully, “Xavier!”

“What are these?” He looked at her.

“I don’t know what’s going on. After I came back from my check-up, it became like this,” explained

Celia.

“Did the nurses do it?” asked Xavier.

She shook her head. “The nurses said that your friends came in the afternoon to decorate the

place.”

“My friends?” repeated Xavier.

Thomas, Ross, and Natasha immediately appeared in his mind.

Recalling how mysteriously they were acting in the afternoon, he could not help but burst into

laughter. He gazed at Celia and nodded. “Yeah, it might have been them.”

“What about that lady who saved my life?” asked Celia.

“I’ll call them and ask where they are.” As he spoke, Xavier took out his phone to call them.

However, the call ended the moment it started ringing.

Just when Xavier was hesitating, the door was flung open and Ross walked in. “Stop calling us.

We’re at the entrance.”

He walked in with Thomas. When Xavier did not see Natasha, he frowned. “Where’s Boss?”

In the next moment, Ross opened the door wider. A human-sized doll was moved in.

“Can you be more helpful? Why did you just leave like that? Didn’t you see that I need help?”

Although Natasha was nowhere to be seen, they could hear her voice.

Xavier and Celia stared at the huge doll in shock.

“Ms. Watson, it’s not that we don’t want to help you. It’s just a bit inappropriate for two guys like us

to be carrying that doll.”

It took a lot of effort before Natasha managed to push the doll away from the front. She wanted to

scold them, but when she spotted Celia, she calmed down.

“Just you wait! Don’t ask me for any favors anymore,” threatened Natasha.

“I was wrong.” Ross immediately admitted to his mistake.

“I’m willing to receive any punishment.”

“Get lost.”

“Got it.”

Celia laughed when she saw their interaction. Walking forward, she looked at Natasha and asked,

“You’re the lady who saved me, right?”

Not knowing what to say, Natasha passed the doll to her awkwardly. “Happy birthday!”

“Thank you!” Celia flashed Natasha a sweet smile as her eyes sparkled.

When Natasha saw her smile, she remembered what Celia looked like when she had visited her in

the hospital. Back then, Celia looked as fragile as a tattered flower. Yet, she was different now—

she looked much healthier and her cheeks were rosier.

Natasha smiled in satisfaction.

“Me too!” Ross walked forward. “Celia, I can’t save up much, but here’s a token of my sincerity.

Didn’t you mention that you’ve always wanted this book? I’m giving it to you.” As he spoke, he

passed a book to Celia.

She gazed at it in delight. “Thank you, Ross.”

“Me too! Me too!” Thomas walked over. “My gift isn’t very valuable, but since I heard that girls like it

a lot, I chose it specially. Apparently, it can bring you good luck.” He gave Celia a beautiful box.

When she opened it, there was a pretty crystal bracelet inside.

“I like it a lot! Thank you, Thomas.” Celia grinned widely, her eyes sparkling like stars in the night

sky.

Xavier was the most moved.

Although those people were not biologically related to him, they were willing to put in so much

effort for him and his sister. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he could not help but tear up.

Compared to the time when he had to fight this battle alone, this moment was incomparably

heartwarming.

However, as he was not good at expressing himself and did not know what to say, he just stood at

the side alone.

At that moment, everyone looked at Xavier.

“We’ve already given our gifts. What about you?” asked Ross.

Only then did Xavier return to his senses. “I prepared something too.”

“Give it to her, then!” urged Thomas.

Xavier glanced at Celia. “Happy birthday, Celia. This is my gift to you.”

When she opened the box and looked inside, she saw an exquisite watch.

“I hope that in the future, instead of counting down, you’ll be looking at the time and anticipating a

new dawn each day.”

Celia had been controlling her emotions for a long time. At that moment, she could not hold herself

back anymore. She jumped into his arms and exclaimed, “Xavier!”

Xavier hugged her and patted her back gently.

“I like it a lot. I’ll definitely wear it and keep you company every day,” promised Celia.

Looking at the siblings, the others also teared up.

On the other hand, Natasha did not have much of a reaction. Despite this joyous moment, she felt

different from the rest. Instead of feeling touched, she was happier at the fact that Celia could

continue living.

When Ross saw that Natasha’s eyes were still not red, he could not help but ask, “Aren’t you

touched, Ms. Watson?”

“I’m good.”

“Why aren’t you crying?”

Natasha merely glanced at him. “I don’t know how to.”

Ross was speechless. Once again, he doubted her gender.

“All right! It’s time to cut the cake. Celia, your brother ordered an ice cream cake for you. It’ll melt if

we don’t eat it now,” reminded Thomas.

Only then did the siblings separate.

Celia wiped her tears. “Sorry for that, guys.”

“It’s fine. It’s so rare for us to see a dense man like your brother act so emotionally. This is worth

it.”

Xavier punched him jokingly.

“Okay! Let’s light the candles. After blowing them out, we can cut the cake,” said Ross.

They lit the candles. Xavier put the birthday hat on Celia’s head while she stood in the middle and

made a wish.

“I hope that Xavier’s career will keep getting better! I hope that all of his friends’ wishes will come

true and that everything will be smooth-sailing.” With that, Celia blew out the candles.

Ross asked, “Why didn’t you make a wish for yourself?”

Celia replied, “Being alive is already my biggest dream. I don’t have any other wishes.”

She was an innocent and kind-hearted girl.

“Okay, let’s cut the cake and eat it!” announced Xavier.

After Ross cut the cake, he gave a slice to Celia first. “Come on, birthday girl. You have the first

slice.”

However, Celia took it and walked over toward Natasha. “Natasha, you first!”

Natasha glanced at her. Not standing on ceremony, she took it. “Thank you!”

Celia gazed at her with a look of happiness. “Thank you for saving me! Although Xavier doesn’t

want me to say it, I’m still going to! I hope that I can be like you one day and help others.”

Natasha grinned at her. “You definitely will.”

“Can I have your contact? I won’t disturb you. I just want to treat you as my role model and

become someone like you,” asked Celia.

At that moment, Ross chimed in, “Celia, you’ve set yourself a tough goal to reach!”

When Natasha shot a glance at him, he kept quiet.

Looking at Celia, she whipped out her phone. “WhatsApp.”

Celia took out her phone delightedly and added Natasha’s contact. Like an excited child, she

exclaimed, “Xavier, I got Natasha’s contact number!” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Natasha had never expected a girl to be so happy to have added her on WhatsApp.

Compared to Thea… Forget it, there’s no way to compare them.
