Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Chapter 67

Chapter 67

Lila later thought that if Kieran hadn't been there during that time, she might not have survived.

The flu hit her hard. The day she fell ill, her fever spiked and wouldn't come down. She lay weak in bed, unable to lift a finger.
