Chapter 251
Lila followed the direction Amelle Indicated, her gaze landing on a man in a wheelchair, his hands, feet, and head wrapped in bandages.
He wore a neck brace, malding it difficult for him to turn his head.
As if noticing them, Dorian turned his gaze toward their direction. The man, who had been sitting quietly with blank eyes, suddenly moved slightly.
The nurse quickly reminded him, “Mr. Blake, your injuries are severe. You shouldn’t make any sudden moves, or it could mess with the healing of your bones.”
Dorian struggled to speak, his voice muffled as he tried to gesture for the nurse to push him toward Lila.
The purse assumed he was uncomfortable and gently said, “If you’re not feeling well sitting here, I can take you back to your room.”
The nurse pushed him forward.
As they came close to Lila, their eyes met.
His eyes were blondshot, tears streaming down his face.
As the wheelchair passed in front of Lila, she could hear his choked words. “I was wrong.”
She lowered her gaze, replying to Amelie, “I didn’t think it was Dorian. He might just look a bit like him.
“Grandma, are you feeling hot? Maybe we should wait in the corridor.”
Amelie patted Lila’s hand gently and said, “The smell of medicine inside is too strong Stay here and keep me company for a while.”
She stayed silent about the moment Lila recognized Dorian.
Amelie could see the moment of doubt in Lila’s eyes, but she was relieved that it wasn’t pity.
Her precious granddaughter deserved the best
As Lila went to retrieve the test results, she asked the nurse for Dorian’s room number and made her way there.
She had often imagined what would give her a sense of closure.
In her mind, Dorian needed to face the consequences of his actions for betraying someone who truly cared for him.
But when she finally saw him, she felt nothing–no satisfaction, no relief.
She no longer cared if he was doing good or bad.
When she entered the room, Dorian tried his best to make his words clear.
“Li la…”
Lila nodded. “I was just passing by, so I didn’t bring anything, but I wish you a speedy recovery.”
She felt nothing as she looked at the man’s face, twisted in regret. “I don’t have anything else to say. I’ll be going now.” But just as she was about to exit the room, she heard him call her name again.
She didn’t look back
As she stepped out of the ward, she caught a glimpse of him. He was tearful and struggling to get up, trying to stop her.
It reminded her of how she had once clumsily tried to hold on to their relationship, but in the end, those who chose to leave couldn’t be held back
She could only watch in despair as Dorian and Zara grew closer and closer until they were together, leaving no place for her.
After returning, Lila quickly composed herself and began to focus on the work for the crew.
Soon, Thursday arrived.
“Tomorrow is Lila’s birthday party. The Morgan family is hosting it, so many celebrities will be there.
“Do you think I’ll embarrass Lila?” Teddy seemned even more nervous after trying on the tuxedo,
Jamie reassured him, “You’re Ms. Hart’s younger brother. No one would dare look down on you
Teddy paused before scratching his head. “I was just joking. Who would take that seriously except myself?”
“I take it seriously,” Jamle replied without lifting her head.
Teddy was mentarily stunned
He then raised his hand to press against his chest. “I.. Ielt like something was wrong with my heart. It felt like it couldn’t get enough blood suddenly. Jamie looked over and said seriously, “Do you want to go for a check–up?”
“No, no need. Just uh, I’ll go back and get some rest. I still need to shoot tomorrow during the day.”

After finishing, he quickly left while holding the tuxedo box.
Jamie muttered to herself, “What a strange kid.”
