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

"Don't think of leaving. Don't take my granddaughter away!" Vivienne immediately

got up and blocked the door.

A nurse rushed over from behind. "You're in the hospital. Don't cause a

commotion!"

Nonetheless, the Jost family was unmoved. Vivienne glared at the nurse. "This is

our family's affair. Don't intervene. Otherwise, I'll file a complaint!"

When Lila saw that Vivienne was harassing the nurse, she spoke up to divert

Vivienne's attention. "Do you know that your words just now constituted the crime

of child trafficking?"

"What are you talking about? I'll report you to the police now!" Vivienne shouted.

Unbothered, Lila smiled and responded, "Sure. Go ahead and report me to the

police. Let's see if the police will arrest you or me."

"Stop scaring me. If we don't get the money, I'll create a commotion every day. No

matter where you go, I'll follow!"

Throwing tantrums and making a scene was Vivienne's specialty. No one in the

village could defeat her.

Lila pursed her lips. They hadn't done anything illegal yet. Even if she reported

them to the police, the police would only reprimand them.

If Lila didn't give them money, they might actually bother her every day. They

didn't seem like they had shame.

Seeing that Lila was silent, Vivienne thought that she was afraid. She continued,

"Let me tell you this. We will get the money no matter what! In the past, Yasmin's

mother didn't give us any money. Today, Yasmin will earn some money for me!"

When Lila heard that, she frowned. Did it mean that not only did Vivienne not care

about Yasmin and her mother, but she had also asked them for money?

Moments ago, Lila thought of giving them the money, but the thought disappeared

instantly. She refused to give them any money now.

Nicole lowered her voice and said, "Lila, why don't you just give them the money?

The police can't do anything to them."

Lila pursed her lips, trying to think if there were other means.

Yasmin, who was in Nicole's embrace, raised her head and glanced at the Jost

family. "They're bad people! They hit my mom!"

They even hit Yasmin and her mother? Lila took a deep breath. Although she was

smiling, she didn't seem happy. "Alright then. We can give you the money."

Vivienne got up and dusted her clothes. "You should have been this obedient long

ago. Why must you create a scene? Hurry up and give me the money!"

"I don't have that much money with me right now, and my phone broke during the

earthquake. I haven't inserted a SIM card in this phone yet."

While saying that, Lila raised her

phone to show it to them,

confirming that she wasn't lying. It

was indeed a new phone. She hadn't

had the time to replace her initial

phone number.

"Why don't you wait until tomorrow? If you come again tomorrow, I'll go to the

bank with you and make a transfer."

The members of the Jost family looked at Lila suspiciously. "What if you run

away?"

Lila chuckled. "If you're worried about that, you can have someone stay here and

keep watch. But they can't enter the ward."

Someone nudged the young man. He immediately nodded. "Alright. I'll stay

behind and keep watch. Don't even think about playing tricks."

Once the group of people left the ward, the room fell silent again. Nicole was still

frowning. "Lila, do you not want to give them the money?"

Lila nodded. "If the Jost family

treated Yasmin and her mother well,

I would have given them the money.

However, they didn't care about

Yasmin and her mother and even

wanted their money. Why should I

give them the money? They aren't

worthy of it.

"Aunt Nicole, don't worry." Lila patted Nicole's hand. "Kieran will come over later.

Have them look into the Jost family."

This shameless family might be hiding something. If nothing turned up...

Lila glanced at the recording in her

hand. She would have to take a tripnoveldrama

to the police station. Besides, there

seemed to be something off with

that young man.
