When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him (Cecilia and Nathaniel)

Chapter 1415 Where Are The Twins

Frowning, she quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Nathaniel. The call connected almost immediately.

"What's the matter?" Nathaniel's voice came through.

Taking a deep breath to steady her growing unease, Cecilia asked, "Did you move the babies? I went to the newborn room, and they weren't there. Where are they now?"

Nathaniel's heart sank, but his voice remained steady. "Don't worry. The babies are fine. I'll come to you right away."

Cecilia's tone sharpened. "Are you sure? Someone told me they're missing. Is that true?"

Nathaniel clenched his jaw, feeling the weight of the situation. To keep Cecilia from spiraling into panic, he forced himself to lie. "The babies have already been taken back home. I'll come get you, and we'll go see them together." Her instincts told her something was off, and she didn't know if she should trust him.

Ending the call, Cecilia turned to Cassandra, masking her anxiety with a calm façade. "Nathaniel said he brought the babies home," she said evenly.

Cassandra arched an eyebrow, caught off guard by Nathaniel's deception. She quickly recovered, a sly smile tugging at her lips. "Is that so? Then by all means, go home and see for yourself. But don't say I didn't warn you they're not there."
