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

"Lila!" Jamie exclaimed as she watched Lila tumble down the stairs, then glanced at the torn sleeve in her hand.

In a panic, she rushed to grab Lila but ended up tearing off part of her sleeve.

Zara was helped up, her palm bleeding from scraping against the ground.

Her knee was bruised. The pain caused her face to turn pale, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

Dorian anxiously checked her condition. "Zara, are you alright?"

Jamie was the first to rush to Lila's side, examining her while calling for an ambulance.noveldrama

"The ambulance will be too slow. I'll drive her to the hospital!" Leonard said, watching as Lila slipped into unconsciousness, her body and face covered in scrapes, making his scalp tingle.

Unlike Teddy, most of her injuries were to her upper body.

Dorian, filled with concern, helped Zara up and hurried over.

Jamie tightened her grip on Lila's hand, glaring fiercely at Zara, wishing she could tear her apart. "You deserve to die!"

Her eyes were red with anger, and her hands trembled.

"What are you doing?!" Dorian shouted, stepping in front of Zara.

She was acting just like Lila. Like a madwoman!

He glanced at Zara's instantly swollen face and reddened eyes, feeling his anger surge. "It's not just Lila who's injured. Zara is hurt too. Can't you see that? You should have some sense when protecting your friend!

"Do you expect Zara to pay with her life for Lila's sake?"

Unexpectedly, the usually docile Zara scoffed coldly. "If I want her life, are you going to give it to me?"

The two on the opposite side were clearly taken aback, and Jamie's expression grew even more mocking. "If anything happens to Lila, none of you will have it easy!

"Especially you, Zara. Get ready to be blacklisted!"

"You have quite the audacity!" Dorian's expression turned icy. "Jamie, you're just a newcomer. How dare you be so bold?"

Jamie's eyes were bloodshot, but before she could respond, Leonard had driven

over.

The two didn't dare to move too much, fearing that Lila might have a fractured bone.

Jamie stepped before Dorian as he tried to get into the car. "Mr. Blake, it seems like someone over there needs your support more."

Dorian looked at Zara, who had injured her knee, with blood flowing from the wound and dirt caked on it.

She definitely needed to be taken care of quickly.

He frowned slightly. Since Leonard and Jamie were already looking after Lila, it should be fine for him to go later, right?

Jamie's eyes held a hint of mockery, and she did not give him a moment to think.

She supported Lila's head to rest on her shoulder and urged Leonard to drive off quickly.

The distance that felt so close now seemed impossible to cover.

"Ms. Hart? Ms. Hart, wake up! Don't scare me!"

Tears were about to spill from her eyes as she felt an unusual warmth on her shoulder. She moved Lila slightly and discovered that her shoulder was soaked with blood.

"Mr. Lawson, hurry!" she nearly shouted. "Lila has a head injury, and it's bleeding!"

Leonard saw it through the rearview mirror, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest.

He dared not lose focus and could only press the gas pedal to the floor.

He thought to himself, "It's over!"

His career as a director would probably end here.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Lila was rushed into the emergency room.

Leonard knew that this incident couldn't just be swept under the rug. He immediately contacted the crew to gather the filming footage and nearby surveillance videos.

After Lila was examined and her wounds treated, Leonard had just finished reviewing all the videos.

Lila had hit her head and was still unconscious.

Now bandaged and on an IV drip, she hadn't woken up yet.

Jamie, with red-rimmed eyes, was wiping away the dried blood on her body.
