He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 141

Helena's nausea surged, a suffocating wave of disgust.

Yet Sebastian kept coaxing her, his tone dangerously soft. "It's fine, Lena. We'll just replace them. There are thousands of chefs out there, but if they make you and my son uncomfortable, I'll make sure they never work in this town again."

It was a gentle but terrifying promise.

Helena clenched her fists, afraid to move.

Sebastian watched her with a mild expression, though the predatory glint in his eyes was buried deep. On the surface, he was the picture of a refined gentleman.

Soon, the maids finished cleaning up the master bedroom.

Helena tried to steady her racing heart, but it took a long time for the adrenaline to fade.

"Since you can't eat, I'll take you out," Sebastian said, smoothly shifting the topic. "Don't you have your ultrasound appointment later?"

He didn't give her a chance to decline. He grabbed her hand and led her straight out the door.

When his fingers wrapped around hers, Helena reflexively curled her fingertips inward in silent resistance.

Sebastian's expression didn't change. He methodically pried her hand open, lacing his strong, calloused fingers through hers with unyielding force.

He pulled her into the car, and they headed straight for the hospital.

The appointment went smoothly. The baby was at twenty weeks, resting safely in her womb.

On the ultrasound monitor, the clear outline of the fetus was visible. Hearing the rapid, train-like whoosh of the heartbeat and seeing the tiny flutters on the screen brought a sudden lump to Helena's throat.

For the first time, she truly felt the power of this life. This was the baby she had longed for so desperately. It had just arrived at the absolute worst time.

Even so, in that moment, she swore to herself that she would protect this child no matter what.
