too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 220

What a bunch of lunatics!

"Isn't it a crime for you to abuse your power for personal gain?"

"We'll have Fletcher send you a lawyer's letter. Someone like you deserves to rot in jail!"

"Yeah! Stop coming out and ruining people's lives!"

Lila was being pushed back further, her vision blocked. And in the next moment, she missed a step on the stairs and fell backward.

The crowd, disgusted by her, quickly stepped aside. They all watched as Lila tumbled down the stairs.

As her consciousness faded, she thought, "This year has really been a series of misfortunes!"

When she opened her eyes again, the pungent smell of disinfectant filled the air, and everything around her was white. She had no idea who had brought her to the hospital.

Lila reached up to rub her temple and discovered her forehead was wrapped in gauze. Her body ached all over. She propped herself up with her arms, but the pain made her frown.

She had multiple bruises. There were also a few abrasions on her arms, but they had already been treated.

Suddenly, the door to the ward opened, and to her surprise, it was Dorian who entered.

"There are a lot of injuries on your body. You should rest for a day," he said when he saw her trying to get out of bed.

Lila had already stood up, silently putting on her shoes and heading for the door. As she passed him, he reached out to stop her. "Is this how you treat the person who saved your life?"

She stepped back, her eyes meeting his gaze with open mockery and sarcasm.

"You want to tell me that you happened to be at Magi Pictures this morning, saw me get pushed down the stairs, drove away the crowd, and then brought me to the hospital, right?"

This was obviously a planned coincidence, and now he was trying to act like a hero in front of her.
