NovelEnglishChapter 437 Lila sat outside the emergency room, her white jacket and hands stained with blood.
The bright red had turned darker, but her face was as pale as a sheet.
Cole looked at her sitting blankly on the bench, his heart aching for her. He wanted to suggest she at least take care of the wound on her neck.
Just as the doors to the emergency room opened, Nicole arrived with Noah.
Lila stared at Kieran lying on the hospital bed, his face as pale as a ghost. She couldn't summon the courage to ask the doctor for an update.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe doctor spoke, breaking the tense silence. "Don't worry, we've given him anesthesia. He'll wake up soon. The wound was deep and required 12 stitches.
"He's lost a lot of blood and will need plenty of rest. Avoid oily or spicy foods, and keep his meals light for now." "Thank you, doctor." Lila's gaze lingered on the unconscious Kieran, her eyes stinging with unshed tears. Nicole stepped forward. "Lila." It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, but Lila looked thinner, her complexion much worse. Lila turned to her, and the tears she had held back for so long finally spilled over. Not wanting Nicole to see her cry, she turned her face away, raising a hand to wipe her tears.
"Lila," Nicole called again, her voice filled with concern.
This time, Lila couldn't hold back. "Aunt Nicole..." Her voice trembled, and she couldn't manage another word.
Seeing her sobbing, Noah's heart ached.
He couldn't believe the one who hurt his precious sister would turn out to be his own family.
Because Amelie was still sick, Nicole didn't stay long.
After Cole went out to buy sthings, only Noah and Lila were left in the hospital room.
"You're competing in the spring tournament, right? Go back for now. I can stay here and watch over him." Lila broke the awkward silence.
"Lila, are you planning to return to the family?" Noah hesitated, finally asking the question.
Return to the Morgan family? Did she still see them as family? Lila lowered her gaze. "Let's talk about it later. My head is a mess right now." "Alright, we'll talk later. Don't rush yourself," Noah said gently. He raised a hand, wanting to pat her head. But he stopped himself.
"You should get back to work. Cole and I will take care of... him," Lila said softly, avoiding Noah's eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNoah nodded. He wanted to tell her that the tournament was impo there were substitute players, and he could stay too accompany her.
But he also figured Lila probably wasn't ready to talk to anyone from the Morgan family. After a moment's hesitation, he left.
Lila's mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Over the past few days, she had thought about everything. Her parents had died because of the Morgan family. Amelie had kept the truth hidden to protect not just Morgan Group, but also the personal information of countless people who used their products.
Amelie wasn't wrong to do that. But the Hart family was sacrificed in the process.
Her parents had died, leaving her alone at a young age. It had turned her into a sensitive, self-conscious person.
She couldn't stop herself from blaming them.
But at the stime, the Morgan family took care of her, treating her like family.
She couldn't bring herself to hate them.
