Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

The staff member gave Lila a quick once-over before his expression shifted to a more serious one. "Which case are you referring to?"

Lila answered, "The car accident involving Henry Hart and his wife 12 years ago."

He seemed to recognize the case but didn't say much after some thought. "You should talk to Officer Rob. He was in charge of the investigation and would know more."

Lila felt confused but accepted the address he had written down. "Officer, do you remember anything else about this case?"

"When the accident happened, I had just started here. From what I remember, it caused quite a stir at the time. But I wasn't involved in the investigation, so I don't know the details."

He paused, his expression softening as he looked at Lila. "I didn't expect you to have grown up so much. How have you been all these years?"

Lila hadn't expected him to remember her. A wave of emotion hit her, and she nodded silently, and they left it at that.

After leaving the police station, Lila made her way to Rob's home.

Her parents' car accident had been ruled an accidental death, but how could something like that have caused such a stir?

When she arrived at Rob's house, he happened to be home. After she explained her reason for visiting, he was initially surprised, but soon his gaze softened.

He asked his family to step out for a while, leaving just him and Lila in the living

room.
