too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 594

Lila clearly remembered that day. Her hands had been trembling with fear.

Her mind had been a chaotic mess—so chaotic that she couldn't think of anything except getting to Kieran. She hadn't cared about the danger. If he was in trouble, then she'd rather face it together. Even if it meant dying, she would die by his side.

Because her mind was so scattered, when she received Megan's call and heard her begging her to come, it felt more like an order. Her brain couldn't process anything, and all she could do was act on instinct.

"Did you ever think that if you didn't make it in time, you might never get to see Uncle Kieran again?" Amelia asked.

Lila nodded. "I did."

"Then why did you..." she started, but stopped herself. It didn't feel right to keep pushing.

Kieran withdrew his hand and quietly left.

Lila chuckled. "If Kieran didn't make it, I'd follow him. I'd go to him, and I'd see my parents too."

That had been her only thought.

"I don't have anything holding me back, after all."

The air grew heavy with her words. Amelia wrapped her arms around Lila, hugging her tightly. "What are you talking about? What about us? What about the rest of the Morgans? Don't we mean anything to you?"

Lila nodded and chuckled to ease the tension. "I know this might hurt your feelings, but honestly, no one's more important than Kieran."

Amelia tickled her, genuinely happy for Lila. Who wouldn't wish for a love where both parties are equally invested?

"Alright, alright, you're both true love's fools!"

Lila laughed, eyes crinkling. "You're so childish, Ame!"

Amelia tugged at the blanket and wrapped herself up tightly. "It's late. Let's turn off the lights and sleep."

Noticing she was serious about sleeping beside her in the hospital bed, Lila sighed, turned off the light, and made more room for her.
