Chapter 64 Suspecting Her Gender
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.
