too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 333

Yelena's gaze was completely drawn to the man approaching from the distance. She felt his face was familiar, but couldn't immediately place where she had seen him before.

The man had sharp and well-defined features—deep-set eyes and a tall, slender frame that seemed as elegant as a swan. He walked with long strides, his powerful presence filling the air like a powerful being controlling everything around him.

Kieran looked up and saw the bandage wrapped around Lila's head, with traces of red on her forehead. His gaze immediately darkened. He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted toward Bolton Group.

Feeling the overwhelming aura behind her, Lila turned around. The emotions she had been holding in suddenly cracked. She had been terrified when Shannon sped toward her earlier. She probably wouldn't have survived if it hadn't been for Terry.

Vince stepped aside to give Kieran space. He had never been on the same level as Kieran, always standing a step behind when it came to Lila.

In the past, he had struggled to deal with the rumors about Lila's relationship and had failed to resolve the issues before Kieran could intervene. Now, he hadn't been able to protect Lila from the car accident before Terry did.

If it were he who saw her first, would it be despicable to sacrifice himself to save her so that she would glance at him a little longer or maybe even enough for her to feel indebted? Vince's eyes fell on Lila, who Kieran was supporting. The care and gentleness Kieran showed her seemed so out of place for someone who was known to be the cold, aloof president of Morgan Group.

Kieran looked toward Yelena. "I will cover Mr. Jones's medical expenses, and any further compensation will be arranged later. During his recovery, I will ensure he receives the best care in a private ward with dedicated nurses.

"On behalf of my fiancée, I would like to thank you and offer our apologies for today." His clear, melodic voice felt like a soothing melody to Yelena, leaving her momentarily stunned.

She hadn't fully understood what he said but still nodded vaguely.

"It's fine," she replied, shaking her head, her earlier hostility toward Lila now gone. Watching Lila being supported away, she slowly regained her focus.

Lila looked so familiar. Who was she, and how had she garnered so much protection from these men?
