Chapter 16: Twins!

Emma blinked her eyes at Alex. Alex blinked his eyes back.

Amazing.

Emma suddenly exclaimed, "Are you Harry Potter? You look just like me!!"

Alex shook his head. "I’m definitely not Harry Potter."

She scratched her head, confused. Then, she reached out to pinch his face.

He was startled, but his body didn’t flinch at all.

She asked, "Then who are you? Why do you look exactly like me?"

He carefully examined her face, finding it fascinating.

"I’m Alex Lawrence. Maybe it’s because we’re twins?"

"Alex..."

When she finally realized who he was, she hugged him tightly out of excitement. "So the one I’ve been chatting with before was my twin brother!"

Overcome with excitement, she hugged him so tight that they both fell to the floor.

Emma couldn’t hide her joy as she squealed, "I’ve finally found you!"

Alex found her warm hug familiar; as if his own mother was embracing him.

He gently pushed her away and helped her sit up. They both sat against the wall, shoulders touching closely.

She turned to look at him, saying, "Big Brother, Mommy and I have been looking for you for so long, and now we’ve finally found you."

’Mommy...’

The word struck a chord in Alex.

"Why did Mom abandon me? Was I not good enough?"

Emma quickly explained when she heard, "No, Brother! Mommy was struggling back then. Our evil Grandpa took you away, and Mommy and I have been looking for you ever since."

Alex felt emotional, but he was still doubtful. "Is that true?"

She nodded firmly. "Of course! We returned this time only to look for you and bring you back to live with us abroad!"

He showed a rare smile of happiness. However, he soon dropped his head sadly.

"But what about Dad if I leave with you?"

Now, it was Emma’s turn to feel sad.

She pouted as she supported her chin, muttering, "Dad never wanted me and Mom..."

Alex shook his head. "That’s not true. Dad doesn’t know your existence."

She hung her head, solemn. "Then what should we do? I want to live with you, but how can we get Dad and Mom to agree?"

They put their heads together, brainstorming ideas as their heads bobbed adorably.

Suddenly, Alex’s eyes lit up.

"I have an idea! I heard that if two people get married, then they can live together. Let’s make them marry each other!"

Emma exclaimed, "Big Brother, you’re so smart! But how can we make that happen?"

"It’s up to us!"

After going through Alex’s plan, they reached a consensus and high-fived.

Looking at Emma’s lovely face that mirrored his own, Alex felt a warm sense of connection.

’So I have a little sister, too...’

They sat on the corner of the stairs, chatting for a long time.

Most of the time, Alex listened to Emma’s "heroic tales" about herself, feeling bittersweet in heart.

Having grown up under Steven’s strict guidance, he was mostly alone since Steven was too busy. Just like now, when he hadn’t eaten for two days.

Thinking about it, his tears fell to the ground.

Emma, feeling pitiful, wiped his tears and took out a chocolate biscuit from her small bag.

She gave it to him and said, "Big Brother, don’t cry. Here, this biscuit is made by Mommy."

He took the biscuit. When he tasted it, he cried even louder.

’It tastes so good.’

Alex’s voice cracked, "I... I missed Mommy so much..."

It was well-known that when one child cries, soon enough, another one will join in.

Emma couldn’t hold back either. "I... I missed Daddy too..."

The two wept as they ate chocolate biscuits, their tears wetting the floor. They cried until they hiccuped, their tears finally subsiding.

At that moment, Emma had an idea. "Big Brother, why don’t we switch roles today? You pretend to be me, and I pretend to be you. That way, I can see Daddy. I can ask why he didn’t want me, and you can have Mommy make you delicious food."

Alex found the idea excellent.

"Perfect!"

After making that decision, they sneakily headed to each other’s rooms.

Back at the hospital.

Cecilia contacted her friend who would perform the surgery three days later, informing him of the arrangements. She had also explained the situation to the hospital director.

Although initially hesitant, the director’s attitude changed when he heard that the one performing the surgery was the medical genius, Evan.

"Are you saying that the world-famous Doctor Evan will be coming to do the surgery?"

Cecilia nodded.

The director quickly took a chair for her to sit, now eager to please her. Growing impatient, she asked, “Can the surgery be arranged this Wednesday?"

He nodded hurriedly. "Of course. We can do it anytime you like!"

Evan was a world-famous expert in heart disease, with countless hospitals wanting his guidance in surgeries. His visit to the hospital would instantly raise its prestige, being nothing short of a blessing.

With Cecilia being able to invite Evan on such short notice, the director realized she wasn’t a simple nobody. He needed to treat her well.

After getting a good response, Cecilia left in satisfaction.

As she reached Rick’s ward, she could hear Frank’s furious yelling from inside.

"This damn ingrate! Rick, I’m telling you—if I don’t get the money today, you’re done here. You care so much about her, but she doesn’t care about you!”

"Without those funds, you can’t stay here any longer. Just go home and wait for death; it’s better than wasting our money here!"

Hearing this, Cecilia opened the door in frustration.
