NovelEnglishChapter 85
Lila's wounds had all healed, except for the more severe head injury. It was finally tto remove the bandages
today.
Kieran, still concerned, drove her to the hospital for a check-up. He finally relaxed once the doctor verified
everything was alright.
When the doctor was done, Lila stepped out of the room and saw Kieran standing by the hallway window, gazing
intently outside. He wore a silver-gray tailored suit, his posture tall and commanding, complementing any attire
he wore. Passers-by couldn't help but look in his direction.
Lila walked over and gently poked his arm with her finger. "What are you looking at?"
He turned, his eyes lifting slightly with a hint of delight. "I just saw a girl who looked a lot like you in high school."
Lila paused in surprise. She could hardly remember what she looked like back then. The only thing she recalled
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas the overwhelming panic and confusion she felt when her parents passed away during her first year of high
school.
Later, she was taken in by the Morgan family who treated her well, though they couldn't do much to ease her
thoughts at the time.
Kieran had already established a reputation in the business world by then. But his presence was less
overwhelming than it was now. Even Noah wasn't afraid of him, and when Kieran chome, he would usually
drag him into playing childish games.
"I'll drive you back," Kieran said as he interrupted her train of thought.
She smiled and declined. "There's no need. Mr. Mason toldyou have an important meeting this afternoon.
You'll be late if you have to driveback."
Lila knew he would insist regardless and added, "Besides, you didn't buythat car for it to sit around doing
nothing. We're both so busy that | feel jealous seeing it sit idly in the garage. Might as well put it to use."
Her tone was playful, her eyes lifted slightly, resembling peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Amused, Kieran couldn't help but smile. Nonetheless, he still sounded like he was speaking to an insistent child.
He reached out and patted her head. "Alright, but be safe."
After the two parted ways, Lila headed back to the film set. She hadn't expected to run into Terry Jones there.
He waved at her as soon as he saw her arrive. It didn't seem like a coincidence.
He was clearly waiting for her. Lila thought Dorian might have sent him to speak to her on his behalf.
"Lila, long tno see," Terry greeted.
"Mr. Jones, long tno see." She nodded politely.
Terry froze for a second and grinned. "You're being way too formal."

Lila didn't comment on his remark. Terry was Dorian's friend, so their sole connection was tied to Dorian. Now
that she and Dorian had cut ties, she no longer considered Terry a friend.
Seeing through her thoughts, Terry stroked his chin and said. "Just because you and Dorian broke up doesn't
mean we can't be friends. You can callTerry like before. Better yet, callTer."
Lila hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Ter."
"That's better." He chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not here because of Dorian. I've got a new script here and was
hoping you'd direct the project. Are you interested?"
Lila looked at him with suspicion in her eyes.
Terry facepalmed, looking more helpless than before. "You're too sharp. | can't hide anything from you."
Seeing her grow uncomfortable, he quickly explained, "I had a fight with my family and decided to venture out
on my own.
"My father's a cruel old man, you see. He's called a few relatives and made sure no one helps me. | finally landed
a decent script, but as for the funding...’
