He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 216

Helena stared in sheer disbelief while Sebastian's jaw tightened. The doctor moved behind him, carefully pulling the fabric of his shirt aside. Just as expected, fresh blood was already seeping through the bandages. Helena froze, completely caught off guard.

The sight of the crimson stain sent the room spinning. She had never been squeamish about blood before, but her pregnancy hormones had thrown her entire body completely out of whack. The metallic scent hit her nostrils, and her stomach violently rolled. Sebastian noticed her swaying instantly.

"Get her out of here," he ordered coldly.

The Nurses reacted quickly, ushering her out of the room.

Stepping into the corridor, the cool draft of sterile, sanitized air hit her face, helping the intense wave of nausea subside.

"Mrs. Hayes, shall I take you to a lounge to rest?" a nurse offered gently.

Helena nodded. The closer she got to her due date, the more physically draining this entire ordeal was becoming. She obediently let the nurse guide her to a private waiting room.

Nestled on the plush sofa, she drifted into a light, exhausted doze. She was jolted awake by the sudden ringing of her phone. Blinking groggily, she saw Sophia Zane's name on the screen and swiped to answer.

"Hey, Sophia."

"That bitch Janetta!" Sophia exploded, her voice trembling with sheer rage. "She's leaking stories left and right, completely dragging your name through the mud! Acting like the tragic victim when she's the instigator. God, I've never met anyone so utterly disgusting!"

"What?" Helena mumbled, still half-asleep.

"Multiple gossip bloggers are dropping blind items right now!" Sophia vented. "They're claiming you only married Sebastian as some superstitious good-luck charm! That he had this flawless 'First Love,' and you used underhanded tactics to ruin her and drive her away before you joined the Hayes family. That's why he kept the marriage a secret and has always treated you so coldly!"
