too late for a second chance novel (Lila and Dorian) novel Chapter 336

Cole opened the door, and the housekeeper walked in, carrying a thermos. "Sir, the soup you requested is ready."

Kieran nodded, glancing up toward the second floor. As if just noticing Lila, his gaze softened, and he smiled. "Lila, you're awake?"

Lila returned his smile, and her gaze was warm. "Uncle Kieran."

"I was thinking of visiting Terry at the hospital later," she said as she descended the stairs. "He really helped me out yesterday, and I'd like to thank him personally."

"That's only right," Kieran replied, his eyes shifting to the thermos the housekeeper had just brought in. "You can take this to him."

Cole, who had just seen the housekeeper out, froze for a moment. Wait… Wasn't the soup meant for Lila? Could Kieran be overly…

Before Cole could fully process his thoughts, Kieran added, "I also had something else prepared for you. It's being kept warm in the kitchen. Would you like to try it?"

His naturally magnetic voice, now tinged with tenderness, made even Cole feel captivated. He placed a hand over his chest, wondering if he'd been single for too long. Maybe Kieran really was the ideal partner.

Once this busy period was over, he might take a few days off to find someone himself.

Meanwhile, Kieran had already brought out the food from the kitchen. He glanced at Cole, who immediately hurried over.

Kieran's cooking skills were top-notch. If it weren't because of Lila, he wouldn't even get a taste. Not even Terry, the lifesaving hero, had as much privilege as he did.

The three of them finished eating, and then Cole left.

Kieran drove Lila to the hospital. Once they arrived, he parked the car and turned to her. "I'll wait here for you."

Lila nodded, carrying the items she'd prepared as she got out of the car. Having Kieran tagging along everywhere probably wasn't ideal. If Terry were awake, he'd likely feel uncomfortable, too.

When she reached the hospital room, the door was slightly ajar. Lila knocked lightly, and when she heard Terry call her in, she pushed the door open and entered.
