Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

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.
