He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 164

Beneath the terror was a burning, hateful resentment towards the man standing before her.

"You are despicable," she spat out through gritted teeth.

Without hesitating, she raised a hand to slap him across the face.

But before she even made contact, he caught her wrist mid-air and violently shoved her arm back.

"Did you really think I'd keep letting you take swings at me?" he scoffed.

Helena stumbled backward, crashing heavily onto the couch.

Her mind raced back to the nurses' horrifying conversation about Wynn's condition.

A sickening wave of dread twisted her stomach into knots.

He was already emotionally shattered, so terrified for her that his body had nearly given out.

Glaring up at Sebastian's malicious smirk, the last of her self-control snapped.

She needed to see Wynn immediately.

She was horrified by what this monster might do to him.

Having endured his cruelty for years, she knew better than anyone that he was capable of crossing any line.

He was a man who only cared about absolute submission, no matter the cost to achieve it.

She couldn't let Wynn become collateral damage.

Pushing herself back up, she didn't waste another word. She made a desperate dash for the door.

But Sebastian was faster. He grabbed her arm, halting her in her tracks. "Are you seriously trying to defy me?"

She didn't answer, throwing her entire weight forward as she thrashed against his grip.

The violent commotion drew the attention of the OB-GYN, who rushed into the room.

Seeing the chaotic struggle, the doctor froze in alarm and immediately looked to Sebastian for direction.

Helena was heavily pregnant; such extreme distress could trigger a catastrophic medical emergency.

Even an emergency C-section might not save a premature baby if the mother went into severe shock.

It could easily result in a stillbirth.

And Sebastian had made it crystal clear he expected a live child.

"Mr. Hayes, please, you can't—" the doctor stammered nervously, trying to intervene.

The interruption snapped Sebastian out of his rage.

His face smoothed over into a chilling mask of calm as he issued his next command. "Sedate her."

The doctor didn't dare argue.
