He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 363

Janetta's voice climbed in frantic escalation.

Amidst her fiery accusations, it became utterly impossible to parse the genuine heartbreak from the calculated manipulation.

Faced with her outburst, Sebastian was left without a single defense.

All he could do was maintain a steady gaze, trying to talk her down.

"Stop letting your imagination run wild. I have my reasons for handling things the way I do," he said quietly.

He didn't blink. "Janetta, don't ever pull a stunt like this again. You know exactly what kind of complicated position I'm in right now."

It wasn't framed as a hostile warning or a direct threat.

It was just a calm statement of cold, hard reality.

Reeling it in, she allowed his words to pacify her.

She knew better than to overplay her hand.

After all, she had successfully accomplished exactly what she set out to do today.

She knew Helena was absolutely finished.

And she knew that cornea was guaranteed to be hers.

Straightening her posture, she nodded softly. "Okay."

Snapping back to the present, she locked eyes with him.

"I'm so sorry, Sebastian. When I found out about my eyes, I just couldn't keep it together," she whispered, layering on the apologies.

"Is Helena going to be okay?" she asked, smoothly transitioning into the role of a concerned bystander.

"She's so far along in her pregnancy, the baby should be fine even if she delivers now, right?"

The questions were purely conversational.

Nothing more.

Sebastian didn't offer a reply.

He was already mentally pivoting to find Helena.

In that exact second, a staff member from the OB-GYN department burst into the corridor, hunting him down.

"Mr. Hayes! Your wife is hemorrhaging! She's been rushed to the emergency operating room. The doctor needs you there immediately," the nurse blurted out, her face completely drained of color.

The nurse had witnessed the horrific scene firsthand.

In all her years working on the ward, she had never seen such a gruesome amount of blood.

Helena's blood loss was absolutely catastrophic.

It wasn't just the baby whose life hung in the balance; Helena herself was teetering on the edge of death.

The sheer terror of it left the nurse trembling as she delivered the message.

The moment the words registered, Sebastian spun on his heel and sprinted fiercely toward the OB-GYN wing.

Yet, actually hearing it out loud still brought a crushing wave of suffocation.

She slowly squeezed her eyes shut as a lone tear traced a hot path down her temple.

She was so unbelievably tired.

Exhausted down to her very marrow, stripped of the strength to fight for another breath.

Wynn was gone forever.

And with her baby being forced into the world this early, the tragic outcome was practically sealed.

Every desperate struggle she had ever made felt entirely pointless.

Helena succumbed to the darkness, losing consciousness completely.

Because she blacked out, she missed the fierce shift in Sebastian's tone just a second later.

"But you will prioritize my wife's safety above all else," he commanded, grinding out each word with lethal intensity.

His eyes were bloodshot, radiating feral panic.

His stance had pivoted from calculated heir-preservation to absolute desperation.

It was a total reversal from his cold demand just a moment before.

The sudden whiplash caught the doctor off guard.

"Understood," the physician agreed firmly before rushing inside.
