Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

"The news reports said the earthquake wasn't too strong, only the central area was seriously affected. There were some collapses."

Lila looked up at Cedric, catching the key detail. "You said the rescue team has already been sent?"

Cedric knew there was no stopping her. The moment she stepped out, he hurriedly called Amelia.
