too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 85

Lila's wounds had all healed, except for the more severe head injury. It was finally time to remove the bandages today.

Kieran, still concerned, drove her to the hospital for a check-up. He finally relaxed once the doctor verified everything was alright.

When the doctor was done, Lila stepped out of the room and saw Kieran standing by the hallway window, gazing intently outside. He wore a silver-gray tailored suit, his posture tall and commanding, complementing any attire he wore. Passers-by couldn't help but look in his direction.

Lila walked over and gently poked his arm with her finger. "What are you looking at?"

He turned, his eyes lifting slightly with a hint of delight. "I just saw a girl who looked a lot like you in high school."

Lila paused in surprise. She could hardly remember what she looked like back then. The only thing she recalled was the overwhelming panic and confusion she felt when her parents passed away during her first year of high school.

Later, she was taken in by the Morgan family who treated her well, though they couldn't do much to ease her thoughts at the time.

Kieran had already established a reputation in the business world by then. But his presence was less overwhelming than it was now. Even Noah wasn't afraid of him, and when Kieran came home, he would usually drag him into playing childish games.

"I'll drive you back," Kieran said as he interrupted her train of thought.

She smiled and declined. "There's no need. Mr. Mason told me you have an important meeting this afternoon. You'll be late if you have to drive me back."

Lila knew he would insist regardless and added, "Besides, you didn't buy me that car for it to sit around doing nothing. We're both so busy that I feel jealous seeing it sit idly in the garage. Might as well put it to use."

Her tone was playful, her eyes lifted slightly, resembling peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Amused, Kieran couldn't help but smile. Nonetheless, he still sounded like he was speaking to an insistent child. He reached out and patted her head. "Alright, but be safe."
