MainNovelChapter 71
Lila was lost in thought when Kieran gently pushed the door open to enter the room. She was so focused that
she hadn't noticed someone cin at all.
Her eyes were fixed on the view outside the window. Her calm gaze revealed no emotion. Her eyelashes
fluttered, delicate like the wings of a vivid butterfly.
The room was silent, and tseemed to stand still because of her.
Kieran leaned casually against the wall, half-supporting himself with his long legs crossed. He was a sight to
behold himself, yet he was captivated by the scene before him.
His gentle gaze fell on her pale face. Kieran's heart ached with a desire to hold her close and comfort her. Yet, he
didn't want to disturb her moment of peace.
Perhaps his gaze had been too intense as Lila seemed to sense something and turned to look at him.
As her gaze fixed on his handsface, she was first surprised, then she smiled. "Uncle Kieran, weren't you on a
business trip?"
At that moment, the pale girl seemed to calive.

Kieran's gaze softened unconsciously. He pulled a chair over to her bedside. As he did, he briefly noticed a
sandalwood bead by the wall. Ignoring it, he quickly shifted his gaze back to her as if he never saw it.
"What happened?" He reached out and gently pinched her fair cheek.
Lila's gaze flickered, and she pretended everything was fine, masking it all with a trained smile. "I accidentally
took a fall."
Kieran nodded and didn't ask more. He knew she rarely spoke up about her hardships, and he didn't expect her
to share anything now. He was worried that if she wanted to talk but couldn't find the words, it would make her
feel even worse.
But whether or not she opened up, he was prepared to seek justice for her. "Why did you return so suddenly?"
Lila couldn't help but wonder if Kieran had cback just for her, given he arrived so quickly and at such a
perfect time.
Kieran casually picked up an apple and slowly began peeling it. "Things went smoothly, and an overseas partner
is coming to Northridge tomorrow.
"I cback early for that reason and sent Cole to the film set to bring you something. When he found out you
were injured from a fall, | rushed over to see you first."
His response was perfectly crafted, leaving no room for doubt.
Lila nodded. "Then make sure you go back early to have sproper rest. Going back and forth must be
exhausting."
"Okay," he replied with his clear and soothing voice. That single word portrayed unexpected obedience,
something that didn't match his usual demeanor.
Lila couldn't help but laugh. The idea of Kieran and obedience didn't fit together at all.
As she looked at him, Lila noticed his fine features-deep-set eyes, a high nose, and thin lips. He exuded an air of
introspection and quiet nobility. His shirt was meticulously buttoned to the very top, yet it couldn't mask his
ascetic reserve.
Somehow, even the round apple in his hand seemed dignified.
Just then, Jamie pushed the door open and saw the elegant man with his head low, focused intently on peeling
the apple. The frail yet beautiful girl tilted her head to the side, watching Kieran intently.
It was a pleasant and harmonious scene. But Jamie couldn't help interrupting.
She looked cautiously at Kieran. "Who are you?"
"Jamie, relax. This is my uncle, Kieran Morgan."
Jamie did just that she relaxed. Her guard dropped entirely and she transformed

back into her gentle self.
She greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Morgan."
Kieran nodded slightly and handed the perfectly peeled apple to Lila.
Jamie blinked, wondering how a man could be so handsand have such beautiful hands.
But she quickly refocused her attention. "Ms. Hart, they finally exposed Zara's act of pushing Teddy on purpose
earlier today. The footage made it crystal clear. Mr. Lawson probably helped with this."
Neither of them noticed Kieran lower his gaze, and he didn't say anything.
Whoever leaked the video didn't matter. As long as it gave Lila speace and a sense of justice, that was
enough.
Just as he expected, a gentle smile touched her delicate features.
However, Jamie still looked worried. "But... another issue has cup."
She hesitated, then said, "Someone revealed that you and Dorian were once dating. The post just went up, but
it's already trending on the hot topics list."
Jamie pulled out her phone to show them, her brows furrowing further. "It was ranked at 32 just a moment ago,
and now it's already climbed to 10th on the trending topics in only a few minutes."
