too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 251

Lila followed the direction Amelie indicated, her gaze landing on a man in a wheelchair, his hands, feet, and head wrapped in bandages.

He wore a neck brace, making it difficult for him to turn his head.

As if noticing them, Dorian turned his gaze toward their direction. The man, who had been sitting quietly with blank eyes, suddenly moved slightly.

The nurse quickly reminded him, "Mr. Blake, your injuries are severe. You shouldn’t make any sudden moves, or it could mess with the healing of your bones."

Dorian struggled to speak, his voice muffled as he tried to gesture for the nurse to push him toward Lila.

The nurse assumed he was uncomfortable and gently said, "If you're not feeling well sitting here, I can take you back to your room."

The nurse pushed him forward.

As they came close to Lila, their eyes met.

His eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming down his face.

As the wheelchair passed in front of Lila, she could hear his choked words. "I was wrong."

She lowered her gaze, replying to Amelie, "I didn't think it was Dorian. He might just look a bit like him.

"Grandma, are you feeling hot? Maybe we should wait in the corridor."

Amelie patted Lila's hand gently and said, "The smell of medicine inside is too strong. Stay here and keep me company for a while."

She stayed silent about the moment Lila recognized Dorian.

Amelie could see the moment of doubt in Lila's eyes, but she was relieved that it wasn't pity.

Her precious granddaughter deserved the best.

As Lila went to retrieve the test results, she asked the nurse for Dorian's room number and made her way there.

She had often imagined what would give her a sense of closure.

In her mind, Dorian needed to face the consequences of his actions for betraying someone who truly cared for him.

But when she finally saw him, she felt nothing—no satisfaction, no relief.

She no longer cared if he was doing good or bad.

When she entered the room, Dorian tried his best to make his words clear.
