Lucinda was stunned. Truthfully, she hadn’t given it much thought.
Turning to Nathan with a smile, she replied, “I’ll leave that to you.”
After pondering for a moment, Nathan said with care, “I’ve decided to name our daughter Destinee, symbolizing how we became a family after enduring all the hardships, and our destiny is now in our

hands. And for our son, Colby. I’m truly grateful that you’ve brought these two beautiful souls into the world.”
Lucinda listened attentively, feeling a sense of contentment wash over her. She knew in her heart that giving birth to these two precious babies was the right thing to do.
Sonny chimed in approvingly, “Those are lovely names with such beautiful meanings – Destinee and Colby.”
“Destinee, Colby, did you hear that? Those are your names!” Luisa exclaimed with infectious glee.
The excitement spread like wildfire through the ward, and soon everyone was joyously chanting the names, “Destinee, Colby…”
Lucinda couldn’t help but smile, her expression tinged with amusement as she glanced at Nathan. She couldn’t deny that this group of people were quite childish.
At this time, a knock on the door echoed through the room.
The silence that followed seemed to amplify the sound as Abel, wearing a somewhat embarrassed expression, gently pushed the door open. In a hushed tone, he asked, “Mrs. Payne, Graham and his wife are here. Would you like to see them?”
The weight of the moment hung heavy in the air, casting a solemn atmosphere across the entire ward.
ALL eyes were fixed on Lucinda, eager to hear her words.
Under the weight of everyone’s gaze, Lucinda’s demeanor grew serious.
“We have quite a crowd here in the ward. The little babies might get spooked with all these people around. How about we let them go back first?”
Her words carried a certain gentleness, but they also revealed her unforgiving stance towards Graham.
As the door closed, an eerie hush enveloped the entire ward, leaving everyone in complete silence for what felt like an eternity.
After some time, a nurse came and knocked on the door, but she didn’t come for Lucinda and Nathan.
“Mr. Hilliard Simmons, there’s a woman asking for you,” she said.
With those words, all eyes in the ward fixated on Hilliard.
Normally cold and aloof, Hilliard couldn’t help but feel his ears flush red under the weight of so many curious stares.
Cyrus was surprised.
“A woman?! No way! Finally, a woman is brave enough to approach you, my ice-hearted brother,” he exclaimed, playfully patting Hilliard’s shoulder.
“When did this happen? Why didn’t you inform us? How long have you been seeing her? When will we get to meet her?”
Hilliard coughed awkwardly, his expression growing increasingly serious.
