too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 276

Lila felt like she was about to lose her mind.

She lowered her head and began reflecting on herself.

Meanwhile, Kieran carefully massaged the medicine into her ankle. He could tell she had relaxed, and that the pain had subsided.

When he looked up, he realized she had fallen asleep at some point without him noticing.

His gaze softened, like ice melting into flowing spring water, gentle and irresistible.

He carefully placed Lila in a comfortable position, tucked the blanket around her, and then left.

Before closing the door, he took one last glance at her, his eyes glowing with tenderness.

…

The next morning, Lila had to get up early to go to the set, and Kieran also woke early, heading off to deal with company matters.

"It really doesn't hurt much anymore," she said.

They went downstairs together for breakfast, and Lila seemed to be in a good mood, which was already an improvement.

Kieran patted her head. "Be more careful in the future. I had the hotel change your slippers."

Lila hadn't expected such thoughtfulness from him. She nodded and softly agreed.

Kieran then drove her to the set and left.

As soon as he got far, Lila turned around and saw Shannon standing not far away.

She furrowed her brows. She didn't want to initiate a conversation and continued walking toward the set.

Shannon wasn't wearing her usual uniform today. Instead, she wore a fitted long dress that showcased her well-toned figure.

With high heels clicking on the ground, she exuded the aura of a proper heiress.

Assuming that Shannon was beautiful was natural. However, her beauty had an edge, a certain sharpness that made her presence even more commanding.

This made her especially effective in the workplace.

Lila respected her in terms of her ability.

However, she couldn't understand how someone like Shannon, with a privileged background, excellent education, and a perfect life, could still act so immorally.

She watched as Lila frowned but didn't retort, thinking she had no words to say.

That made Shannon look down on her even more.

She said with a mocking smile, "You're living so carefree, but do you know what happened to your ex-boyfriend?"

It had been long since anyone had mentioned Dorian in front of Lila. However, as a former top celebrity, there were occasional news reports about him online.

Dorian's limp had healed, but his career plummeted dramatically due to various negative rumors and Nexus Entertainment's knowledge of his desire to go solo.

People he had once rejected were now taking the opportunity to step on him.

As an actor, he couldn't even get any roles. Dorian had to swallow his pride and beg for work.

He was just grateful to land a role and no longer had the luxury of being picky.

If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the entertainment industry completely forgot about him.

Lila said coldly, "His matters are no longer related to me. If you're interested in him, you can find him yourself. There's no need to make indirect remarks here."
