too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 558

"Doctor! She's awake! The patient in Room 7 is awake, come quickly!"

Amelia, who had been keeping watch by the bed, grabbed the call button and urgently summoned the medical staff.

Only then did she turn back to Lila. "Lila, are you okay?"

Lila stared at her blankly, silent.

Her lack of response made Amelia uneasy. "Are you feeling unwell? The doctor will be here soon, don't worry."

Lila shook her head slightly, her brows knitting together. "I'm fine… but who are you?"

There was genuine confusion in her eyes, yet Amelia's face was filled with concern as if they were close friends.

Amelia froze, staring at her in disbelief. "What… Lila, what did you just say?"

Lila's frown deepened. "Who are you? Do we know each other well?"

"I…" Amelia was completely stunned.

Just then, she sensed movement behind her and turned around.

Kieran had entered the room, his arm in a sling, a cup of warm water in his free hand.

The moment Lila saw him, the wariness in her expression eased slightly. "You're here."

Amelia snapped her head back toward Lila, even more shocked. "You recognize him… but not me?"

Lila struggled to sit up, bracing herself. "Of course. He's my husband."

Amelia let out a short, disbelieving laugh. "What? Are you messing with me?"

"I'm not. I really don't know you." Lila shook her head sincerely.

Then she turned to Kieran and gave him a soft, faint smile. "How's our daughter?"

Now, it wasn't just Amelia who was stunned—Kieran had also frozen in place.

"Daughter?" His lips pressed into a thin line.

Lila nodded without hesitation. "Yes. I rescued our daughter first, but after that, I was hit by something, and I don't remember anything after that.

"But really, Kieran, what took you so long? Our daughter and I were in danger, why didn't you come sooner? I was even stabbed in the stomach…"

As she spoke, she reached down to touch her abdomen, only to find nothing there. She froze, her expression shifting to confusion.
