Sebastian's expression didn't change in the slightest. "He's fine."
But he knew the brutal truth.
Wynn was dead.
Right after Helena had visited him that day.
Sebastian's original plan was to keep Wynn suspended in that halfway state.
It was just a matter of throwing enough money at the hospital.
Even if he was a vegetable, he could have kept breathing.
But the moment Helena walked away, Wynn's body simply gave out.
Even emergency resuscitation couldn't bring him back.
Naturally, Sebastian hadn't told Helena this, and he saw absolutely no reason to.
Helena just kept staring at him.
The sudden mention of Wynn forced her to forcefully pull herself together.
"Sebastian, you still haven't told me why Wynn's condition suddenly crashed. He was perfectly stable before. And... how did Janetta find out about it?" she interrogated, enunciating every single word.
He offered no answer, just observing her.
She had no intention of backing down either.
The two of them stood in a silent standoff.
"The water is boiling dry," he suddenly pointed out calmly.
He walked over, added more water to the pot, and methodically took over her spot, beginning to cook the dumplings.
She watched him, her brows pulled tight.
She already knew the answers to the questions she was asking him.
But she still desperately wanted him to confirm it.
Yet, looking at his dismissive attitude, she realized he was never going to explain himself.
Whenever it came to anything involving Janetta.
He always prioritized her protection.
Helena looked down, a bitterly self-deprecating smile curving her lips.
But right at that moment, he finally broke the silence.
He had already scooped the cooked dumplings into a bowl and perfectly mixed the dipping sauce.
"Janetta knew because she asked the staff at the sanatorium. She's fully aware of your relationship with Wynn. Plus, seeing how panicked you were when you rushed out, it's perfectly normal that she told you," his voice was calm and even.
But every single word was carefully constructed to defend Janetta.
Helena knew the absolute truth.
It was none of that.
