too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 444

After hanging up the phone, Lila gently patted Nova's fluffy little head. "It is a good thing," she mumbled.

In the afternoon, she took a nap. But halfway through, the ringing of her phone woke her up. when she saw that it was Nicole calling, she hesitated for a moment before answering.

"L-Lila." Nicole's voice was choked with emotion, and Lila instantly felt the sleepiness vanish. a sudden, unsettling panic gripped her heart.

Lila's mind went blank. "I'll be right there!" She didn't even have time to put on her socks. She just threw on a jacket and rushed out the door.

Amelia, who had been relaxing in the living room, was startled. "What's wrong?"

"Ame, can I borrow your car? Grandma... she's not doing well. I need to go see her!"

"My dear Lila... I'm sorry." Amelie's voice was weak, her eyes dimming, and the warmth in her hand had faded.
