too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 304

The day's events—including the people Lila encountered and the situations that unfolded—were listed down with pictures. When magnified, Pierre's eyes, hidden in the dim light, showed clear desire.

Years ago, when Kieran heard from Noah that Pierre had become obsessed with Lila, he immediately had someone investigate. Without revealing anything, he quietly dealt with the trouble for Lila. She had never mentioned it all these years, so he assumed the matter was long over.

He hadn't expected it to have caused her such deep trauma. In the end, it was his own lack of consideration.

There were two ways to overcome trauma. One was to rely on time to dilute the pain. The other was through desensitization—watching the person who hurt you get punished and slowly losing the fear.

Kieran didn't know how Lila would choose but hoped it would be the second. He had carefully raised her; the Morgans were not weak.

He had helped Lila drink water twice during the night. Once her fever subsided, she gradually relaxed, allowing him to pull away and leave.

It was already 2:00 am, but he wasn't feeling very sleepy.

The next day, Lila surprisingly overslept. When she looked at her phone, it was already 10:18 am, and she was momentarily stunned.

Was it morning? She would usually wake up at 8:00 am. She scratched her head, only remembering lying dejectedly on the couch, but she had no recollection of how she had returned to her room.

Rubbing her aching head, Lila felt a little ashamed. How could she let someone like Pierre affect her so much?

She slowly got up, washed up, and went downstairs to find Kieran still at home. Lila was a bit surprised, so she rubbed her temples before asking, "Uncle Kieran, aren't you busy today?"

"Mm." He nodded. "Are you free this Saturday?"

Today was Wednesday, and Lila quickly calculated the days. She nodded.

"I'm free. I should still be at the Morgan residence, spending time with Grandpa, Grandma, and Aunt Nicole. Is there something you need?" she asked, belatedly realizing.
