Chapter 185 Two Daughters

The entire first half of January 1997.

Milo stayed in New York, mainly integrating media groups and financial companies.

But he will not forget one thing.

Something that is very important to him.

That is, Sophie Marceau's due date is also in January this year.

She got pregnant in mid-April last year.

According to the calculation, the expected date of delivery is right in the middle or late part of this month.

She is pregnant with twins, and the doctor said the due date may be advanced.

So on January 15th, Milo left New York and rushed back to California.

January 20th.

This day, "Here it is, Mr. Blackburn."

Under the guidance of the nurse, Milo helped Sophie into the VIP delivery room.

The two are currently in a private hospital in the Bay Area.

For the sake of insurance, and also because there is a real need——

As early as the end of last year, Milo had someone buy this hospital located in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Even if he doesn't use it, the hospital's medical services can be provided as one of the company benefits for his employees in many Internet companies in Silicon Valley.

This is a very good benefit for most Americans.

The employees who work for him perform dental-related surgeries or aesthetic procedures here.

The charge is only one tenth of the outside price.

Don't underestimate this.

As we all know, medical and pharmaceutical services in the United States account for a very important proportion of the US GDP every year.

Dentists also account for a large proportion of medical care in the United States.

Almost everyone in the United States has problems with their teeth due to their addiction to sweets.

In the United States, if you don’t have medical insurance, it will cost $300-1000 to extract a wisdom tooth.

Yes, it is that outrageous.

What’s even more outrageous is yet to come. For example, most medical insurance does not cover teeth.

You need to buy separate medical insurance for teeth...and if you want to buy medical insurance that also covers dental care, the already expensive medical insurance will go even higher.

Therefore, many middle- and low-class Americans choose "medical tourism".

It means going to other countries for medical treatment in the name of tourism.

In this regard, most of the diseases are related to teeth.

Why is the medical care in Guba, which is hostile to the United States, so advanced? At least half of the credit is due to the medical expenses paid by Americans.

From this we can see that in order to maintain a good set of teeth, or to prevent toothache.

How much money did the Americans pay?

So it's just three times a year, and dental benefits that can be used by family members.

This will make it easier for Milo's Internet companies to attract outstanding employees.

Off topic.

Milo brought Sophie here today, not for dental cosmetic treatment.

The due date for France's first kiss has arrived.

If all goes well, she will give birth within the next day to week.

Although Sophie's face and figure became rounder due to pregnancy.

Although she is pregnant, she still looks pretty and is easily recognized as the heroine of "The Da Vinci Code", which is still in theaters and has grossed $1 billion worldwide.

The nurses were obviously very surprised to see that the heroine of the hit movie looked like this.

However, they also signed high-priced confidentiality contracts.

If you spread rumors, not only will you have to pay compensation, but you may also attract revenge from a super-rich person.

So although they were surprised, no one dared to go out and tell anyone about it.

"The gap isn't that big yet. We may have to wait a few hours to a day, Mr. Blackburn."

After examining Sophie, the female doctor said, "I'll come over to give you every once in a while..."

"My girlfriend, you can call her Madam." Seeing that the doctor didn't know how to address her, Milo smiled and shrugged.

"Okay, ma'am. I'll come over to check on you every half an hour or so. If anything unexpected happens before I come, please press the emergency bell and a nurse will come right over."

"Thank you, doctor."

Milo nodded politely, and after sending her out, he turned around and looked Sophie up and down with a smile: "Your posture is really interesting."

Sophie, wearing loose clothes and with her legs spread wide, glared at him unhappily: "Maybe you want to try it?"

"Forget it, there's no point in me doing this." Milo sat down beside her.

"Then can I understand that you are getting a little bored after staying with me for three days?" Sophie asked further.

She also wanted to say that if you don’t want to come, you don’t have to come, after all, her mother is with her.

But the thought of this statement might embarrass him, if he really left.

Then you will be the one who is depressed and sad.

Sophie held back.

Milo raised his eyebrows, then realized what she was talking about and laughed: "Oh, Sophie, dear, is this the kind of person I am in your mind?"

"Of course." Sophie said bluntly, "You and your Italian secretary made such a loud noise last night! My mother heard it and she came over to ask me. Do you know how embarrassed I was?!"

"Okay, okay, my bad." Milo sighed deliberately and said so. Seeing that Sophie's face was a little uneasy, he immediately changed the subject: "Why don't we do something else? The doctor said it will take a few hours."

So we chatted, and Sophie's mother came in.

She chatted with her daughter while Milo went out to handle a briefing in an office specially set aside for him in the hospital.

A few hours later, Sophie's belly still showed no movement.

The two entered the hospital at 2pm, and by 7pm, after dinner, the labor had not started.

This made Milo very depressed as he had originally thought that he could finish it in two or three hours.

The female doctor came once every half an hour at first, and then increased it to half an hour.

"It's gotten a lot bigger than before, but we still need to wait," she always said.

"It looks like our little darlings don't want to come out for a while," Milo said while caressing Sophie's tall belly after looking away from the dimly lit window. "If they are so naughty now, they might be more difficult to deal with in the future. It seems that our little princesses are not quiet little girls."

"Why do girls have to be quiet? You're being sexist!" Sophie rolled her eyes at him, but she enjoyed his caress.

"Okay, okay, women can hold up half the sky. I'm certainly not sexist. I prefer daughters." Milo shrugged with a smile.

"Why do you like your daughter more?" Sophie looked at him and asked again.

"Because I want them to be as beautiful as you." Milo smiled.

"That's not necessarily true. Genetics are very random." Sophie said uncertainly, and suddenly her face changed and she groaned in pain.

A large area under the nightgown quickly became wet.

"Someone, my wife's water has broken completely, come immediately." He pressed the emergency notification bell and spoke loudly into the communicator.

"Oh my! I'm dying, Milo, I'm dying!"

Sophie screamed, her face covered in sweat, her eyes had lost focus, and she subconsciously grabbed Milo's hand and held it tightly without letting go.

"Take a deep breath, take a deep breath, it will be fine soon, Sophie."

Then they entered the delivery room, and Milo, who had been with her the entire time, continued to comfort her according to the doctor's instructions.

"Push harder, please push harder, I can already see the baby's head." The female doctor who was busy under the delivery skirt also said loudly.

"I'm really dying, Milo, I'm really dying."

Sophie started to sob at the end, but her body was still exerting force as the female doctor had instructed.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Trust me, it'll be fine soon." Milo said while breathing heavily.

Finally, after struggling for dozens of minutes, a loud cry sounded from below, full of energy, obviously very healthy.

"Congratulations, sir, it's a lovely daughter! Oh, twins, there's another one, ma'am, please keep up the good work!"

The female doctor, who was also busy and sweating, continued.

After the first one came out, the production of the second one was obviously much easier.

A few minutes later, my younger sister was born.

"Sir, these are your two daughters."

The female doctor handed the two wrinkled newborn babies to the nurse for cleaning before wrapping them up and handing them to him.

"Wow!" Milo was a little nervous, a little excited, and a little at a loss. He held a daughter in one hand and looked at the little ones who couldn't even open their eyes.

An inexplicable feeling arose in Milo's heart.

Look left, look right, "They are so cute"

In his past and present lives, this was his first... well, two directly.

The feeling of blood connection cannot be faked.

Milo could feel the indescribable joy in it.

The feeling that the genes can be passed on is like that one can live forever.

It's really hard to describe it in words or text.

Damn, Milo felt like he was falling in love with this feeling.

"Children...my children..." Although Sophie was lying on the delivery bed and was exhausted, her mother's instinct still made her mutter and look for her children.

"Here, the little ones are here." Milo then held the child in front of her, "Look, there are two little babies, they are beautiful, aren't they?"

The newborn babies had just been cleaned by the nurse.

But the wrinkled look where one can't even open one's eyes is not really pretty.

Even so, Sophie, who placed them on her left and right, still showed a look of loving and touching expression.

"Yeah, it's beautiful."

She murmured in a low voice, reaching out to touch the little ones' faces.

But she hesitated and was afraid that they wouldn't like it, so she pursed her lips as if she was about to cry again.

Soon, the nurse came over to take the child away temporarily.

Although Sophie was very reluctant, she still handed it to the nurse.

He just kept watching the little things until they left before he withdrew his gaze.

Then, Sophie, who was extremely exhausted, returned to the ward and fell into a deep sleep.

Milo also sat down on the sofa. He said to Wendy, who was waiting with a smile on her face, "Tell my family that my two daughters were born. One weighs 8.1 pounds, and the other weighs 7.9 pounds. They are both very healthy."

Wendy smiled and nodded.

Although she is an illegitimate daughter, this is the next generation of Blackburn's bloodline.

Their birth means that Milo is in very good health.

Moreover, Wendy had been with Milo for a long time, and he could see that Milo loved these two children very much.

Love them more than their mothers do.

Wendy is not a fool. He certainly won't treat these two little kids as if they were illegitimate children.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

On the contrary, if Milo didn't pay enough attention to them.

Then Wendy would probably be another face.

"Secondly, each of Sophie's bodyguards, nannies, and personal medical team will receive a bonus based on the total of last year's salary. Use the foundation's allowance and have my accountant calculate how to avoid taxes for them. This will help them save a lot of money."

Wendy continued to nod, watching Milo ponder for a few seconds before speaking again, "Update Sophie's personal medical team. Evacuate the obstetricians, and help me find some pediatric doctors and nurses."

"Okay, that's it for now."

Wendy agreed and went to do her job.

Milo finally relaxed, feeling a little sleepy, looking at Kenny and David beside him, as well as the bodyguards guarding both ends of the corridor.

He simply lay down on the sofa with his clothes on.

"Look, there she is, and she seems to be waving at us."

The next morning, Milo pushed Sophie in a wheelchair to the outside of the intensive care unit and looked for his child through the glass.

Last night, the two children's grandmother, Mia Marceau, simply stayed here overnight.

The old lady also likes the two girls very much. According to her, they look so much like Sophie when she was a child, and there are two of them!

"I really want to hug them." Sophie muttered as she leaned softly in the wheelchair.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to hug them again soon." Milo patted Sophie's shoulder gently, but his eyes were fixed on the cradle in the middle left position behind the glass without blinking.

Sophie's mother Mia spoke up at this time: "I asked the doctor, they will come out to take a bath later. Then you can hold them."

Milo and Sophie both nodded and continued to look at their daughters.

Compared to their appearance when they were just born, the new little ones look particularly cute.

Although his eyes were still closed as if they were not open, his limbs moved here and there from time to time within the allowed range.

They are two energetic little guys, and the doctors say they are quite healthy.

The two looked exactly the same, except that their thinning hair was a soft blond, unlike their mother's light brown.

In this regard, they obviously inherited their father's hair color.

As for the pupil, Milo had looked at it last night.

It looks lighter, probably because I inherited my mother's eyes.

It may also be that the baby has not fully grown yet, so we don’t know whether it looks like its mother or father.

"They are as beautiful as you," Milo said.

"Of course!" Sophie said in a tone of responsibility, then took his arm from the wheelchair and held it tightly, with a happy look on her face.

Soon after returning to the delivery room, the nurses and Mia brought the bathed children over.

Although Sophie had done enough homework before giving birth, she still handled it very carefully at this moment.

But there were two children, and she didn't dare hold both at the same time.

But when I hugged one of them, I felt sorry for the other one and I was so anxious that I almost cried.

Fortunately, Milo was there, and as a father he chose to hold the remaining one.

Plus there were the nurse and Mia there to give instructions.

"Hold it like this, raise your arms a little higher, no no no... yes, that's it."

After holding the baby for less than two minutes, the nurse reminded me that it was time to feed.

Sophie planned to breastfeed from the beginning.

Because whether she checked it herself or it was recommended by doctors.

It is said that breastfeeding is better for children, but the disadvantage may be that it may cause changes in the mother's body shape.

Like sagging or something.

But Sophie no longer cared. She was originally a literary and artistic woman, and now her maternal love burst out and she was willing to do anything for them.

Under the guidance of the nurse, Sophie finally held her daughters in her arms properly, and then the two little ones instinctively opened their mouths and started eating.

Feeling her daughters' movements, a happy smile appeared on her face again.

Milo was watching with great interest, as if he was eating it himself.

Milo had already thought of their names before they were born.

Rose Blackburn and Lily Blackburn.

The elder sister's name means rose, and the younger sister's name means lily in English.

By using the surname Blackburn, Milo is saying that he is upright and not afraid! Even though using his surname like this may attract the attention of paparazzi, there is a solution.

As long as they are careful, and with Milo's growing power, the paparazzi may have to consider the consequences even if they find out.

As for Rockefeller and his hometown, they might have some opinions.

Again, there are tens of thousands of people with the last name Blackburn in the United States.

There are also tens of thousands of people with the surname Blackburn in the UK.

The last name doesn't mean anything, what matters is Milo's attitude.

After a few days of recuperation, Milo accompanied Sophie out of the hospital.

Because the confidentiality work was done well, it was not discovered by the paparazzi from beginning to end.

Because of this, the two did not celebrate in a big way after returning to Sophie's villa.

Only Hector, who was also in San Francisco, heard about this while on the phone with Milo.

Hector made a special visit.

"Oh, I can't believe it! These are my goddaughters! They are so beautiful!"

Standing next to the two cribs, look left and right.

Looking at the little ones kicking their legs, Hector said in amazement

"Goddaughter? Are you sure?" Milo raised his eyebrows.

According to the traditional American wealthy families, they are illegitimate daughters.

They were not born to Rockefeller.

Hector, an heir of Cabrera, adopted two illegitimate daughters as goddaughters.

This is somewhat unorthodox in their circle.

“I thought it was the default.”

Hector shrugged and said calmly.

Hector certainly knew what it meant to recognize two illegitimate daughters as goddaughters.

But he also has difficulties.

Yes, Rockefeller was indeed going to marry Blackburn.

But how old is Ariana? She's not even fifteen.

Even though she married Milo when she was just eighteen.

That will be more than three years later.

Even if she had been pregnant before marriage, Blackburn and Rockefeller's child would probably not be born until four years later.

Four years later, with Milo's current speed of rise, even if it slows down ten times.

Hector felt that at that time, Milo's achievements were something he could hardly achieve even if he wanted to.

Although Milo was already his daughter's godfather, there was never too much of a close relationship.

Since it is difficult to continue to deepen cooperation with Milo in terms of reality and interests.

In order to maintain his relationship with Milo, he stayed more steadily on Milo's chariot.

Then we can only find a way through personal relationships.

When Hector came today, he observed the man's expression.

He keenly discovered that Milo was very fond of the illegitimate daughters.

That's easy.

He came to be their godfather.

For him, this would at most cause him some controversy in the circle and make some people in the family dissatisfied.

But what did he get in return? He got closer to Milo.

Hector thought it was worth it.

From Milo's perspective, he was considering both Lily and Rose.

He would not reject Hector's idea either.

First of all, the two of them have a very good relationship and have been best friends since childhood.

Secondly, after Hector becomes their godfather, it will help them integrate into their own circle in the future.

"If you insist, I hope you can be there when they are baptized."

Milo said this to Hector with a smile.

"certainly."

Hector smiled, because Milo's words basically meant he agreed.

"Of course I'll be there."
