He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 354

It was a hatred that cut straight to the bone.

It gave him the chilling sensation that Janetta was the one desperate for blood, not Helena.

Sebastian lowered his gaze, studying her in utter silence.

Being watched so intensely made Janetta instinctively tense up.

But on the surface, she kept her mask perfectly in place.

"Do you really hate Helena that much?" he finally asked.

"I didn't use to," Janetta took a deep, shuddering breath before answering him word by word.

"But how could I not hate her now? She stole the life that was supposed to be mine. I could have lived with that."

"But she killed my baby. I will never forgive that."

"And while my child is gone, she gets to peacefully give birth to yours."

"As long as that baby exists, you two will always be tied together. That child will always look for its mother."

"Under these circumstances, am I supposed to just adore her? If I weren't furious, I'd be insane, wouldn't I?"

Janetta's voice dripped with raw sorrow as she looked up at him.

Her eyes swam with a profound, shattered disappointment.

Her words were thick with devastating emotion.

And just like that, Sebastian's suspicions began to dissolve.

Because everything she said made perfect logical sense.

"I was just asking. Just be a good girl and stop overthinking. Your only job right now is to take care of yourself. I'll handle the rest."

Sebastian gave her his word. "I won't protect her. You said it yourself—the law will give you the justice you deserve, alright?"

His tone had completely softened.

Janetta leaned into his chest, offering a heavy, satisfied "Mm."

"Seb, stay with me, please? When you're not here, I get so scared," she pleaded softly.

"Alright," Sebastian agreed, unable to refuse her in this state.

Whether she had worn herself out from the tantrum or something else entirely...

Janetta drifted off to sleep surprisingly fast.

Sebastian waited until her breathing leveled out before he quietly stood up and left the room.

But Janetta wasn't deeply asleep.

The moment he moved, she was wide awake.

She knew she couldn't afford to wait anymore.
