too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian)

"Slow down. Don't scare the child," Lila said, seeing that Amelia was in a rush.

"Why don't I carry the child?"

Lila carried Yasmin and said gently, "Don't be scared."noveldrama

She patted Yasmin on the back lightly and comforted her uneasiness.

Yasmin was too obedient. She looked at Lila before reaching out to hug her neck, not crying or throwing a tantrum.

Lila felt bad for Yasmin. Afraid that Yasmin would feel uncomfortable, she slowed her pace. Amelia glanced at them and didn't rush Lila. She teased, "Actually, you two share some similarities, especially your eyes. Why don't you adopt her as your daughter?"

Amelia said it casually, but Lila paused for a moment. Yasmin's parents had passed away. It seemed alright to adopt Yasmin.

Before Lila thought it through, she had arrived at Faith's ward. Cole was currently helping Faith get out of bed. As her legs were injured, she couldn't balance

herself. Kieran quickly grabbed her wrist.

"Be careful." Kieran sounded concerned.

Amelia nudged Lila, hinting at her to say something. The people in the room had noticed them. After Faith had regained her balance, Kieran walked over to the door.

Kieran wanted to carry Yasmin, but Yasmin dodged and tightened her grasp on Lila's neck. Lila patted Yasmin on the back and said, "Don't be scared. He isn't a bad person."

Yasmin lay quietly on Lila's shoulder. She was a child after all. Her emotions were obvious she was feeling uneasy.

Lila didn't know if a three-year-old child understood life and death, but Yasmin seemed to understand.

Kieran noticed Lila's sad gaze and caressed her hair. "Let's return to Northridge tomorrow. Cole will accompany Ms. Moore here for a few more days. They'll return after her condition stabilizes."

Lila looked at Faith. Faith's head was bandaged, and both her leg and arm were

in a cast. It was obvious that her injury was severe.

A while later, Lila thanked her. "Ms. Moore, thank you."

Faith found Lila strange. The latter's gaze and tone were different from usual. Her demeanor was cold and distant.

But after some thought, Faith remembered that Lila didn't like her. Besides, recently, the Moore family...

In the end, Faith only nodded. "Don't worry about it."

Kieran and Lila didn't stay in the ward for long. They left together.

Faith watched them leave, her expression slowly turning tense.

Amelia sensed that Kieran and Lila had something to discuss. When she was about to leave, she saw Vince coming over in a hurry.

He looked unkempt. He had always dressed decently, but this time, he looked disheveled. Amelia turned around and wanted to leave, but he called out to her. "Amelia."

Vince couldn't be bothered to greet Kieran The went up to Amelia, grabbed her wrist and said,

"Mr. Lane, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend will get jealous because you came

to see me?"

Vince frowned. "I don't have a girlfriend."

Amelia snorted as she looked at

Vince with a scrutinizing look. Lila et

turned around to look at them. She

found the scene familiar.

Kieran turned Lila around and said, "They know each other very well. Don't worry."

"I'm not worried. I just find him familiar." Lila chuckled.

Her words made Kieran fall silent.
