He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 167

The path to his wing was completely empty—so easy that it actually made her uneasy.

Pushing down the rising paranoia, she marched directly onto Wynn's floor.

But when she reached his room, her blood ran cold.

The bed was empty. Wynn wasn't there.

He was completely bedridden and couldn't even leave the room without a wheelchair.

Where the hell could he be?

All the color drained from her face as she spun around to grab the first staff member she saw.

"Where is Wynn? Where is the patient from this room?" she asked a passing nurse, grabbing her arm in a panic.

The nurse gave her a bewildered look, clearly recognizing her.

"Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Hayes had him transferred out. Did he not tell you?" she asked, furrowing her brow.

"When did this happen?" Helena forced the words past the lump in her throat.

"Yesterday afternoon," the nurse replied.

Helena froze, entirely blindsided.

She hadn't known any of this.

The horrifying realization slammed into her as she recalled their explosive fight and the chilling threat Sebastian had made right before having her sedated.

Her expression contorted in pure terror.

He had taken Wynn hostage to leverage her total submission.

Trembling, she pulled out her phone and called Sebastian.

It rang over and over, but he didn't pick up.

She redialed frantically until her battery finally died, and he still refused to answer.

He was deliberately freezing her out.

It was a psychological game designed to force her to come crawling to him, begging on her hands and knees.

A suffocating wave of despair crashed over her, making her heart race wildly.

Frantic, she found a charger, plugged in her phone, and dialed Carter Miles.

In her seven years of marriage, she had probably spoken to Sebastian's assistant more times than she had spoken to her own husband.

Sebastian viewed her as an outsider, completely unworthy of his direct attention. She was only ever allowed to interact with Carter.

The only woman who actually had the privilege of calling Sebastian's personal line was Janetta.
