He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 410

The doctor concisely laid out the strategy.

It was currently the most logical course of action.

And undoubtedly the optimal solution.

Sebastian understood the logic perfectly.

This time, he didn't hesitate.

Janetta's non-negotiable term for dropping the charges was receiving Helena's cornea.

It was the singular path to clearing Helena's name and pulling her out of this nightmare.

Sebastian was cornered.

Janetta held all the cards.

His expression hardened as he made the final call: "Prep the OR. Proceed with the extraction. Ensure absolute perfection on both ends."

Those words were the very last thing Helena heard before slipping into total darkness.

Her soul felt entirely hollowed out.

She offered no physical reaction.

Sebastian's order was the final nail in the coffin, confirming every vile thing Janetta had claimed.

He had only been protecting her health so he could seamlessly harvest her eye.

She had suspected it all along, but having the brutal truth shoved in her face.

It still managed to plunge her into an abyss of chilling despair.

She lacked the strength to utter a single word, quickly descending into a deep, drug-induced void.

She was immediately wheeled into the operating room.

Sebastian didn't trail right behind her; he stayed to manage the crisis with Hope.

After a frantic, brutal round of resuscitation, Hope's condition managed to stabilize slightly.

But the outlook remained exceptionally grim.

The doctor didn't sugarcoat the reality to Sebastian.

The infant likely wouldn't survive the next three days.

He advised Sebastian to make the final arrangements.

Sebastian remained silent, his features carved from stone.

"Use every resource to keep her alive. If she crashes again, I want to be notified the second it happens," he ordered with chilling calm.

With that, he turned on his heel and headed toward the surgical wing.

The cornea swap between Helena and Janetta was being performed simultaneously.

The transplants occurred in tandem.

They were even placed in adjoining operating rooms.

But she was too broken to fight back.

Sebastian might trust Janetta's promise to drop the charges, but Helena knew better.

Even with the new cornea, Janetta would never just let her walk away.

Helena knew intimately just how venomous and vindictive Janetta truly was.

Why would Janetta ever leave a loose end alive to threaten her perfect life?

Especially when that loose end was tied to Hope.

Helena desperately wanted to scream, to weep, but no sound escaped her throat.

Not a single tear managed to break past the heavy gauze.

She lay there, paralyzed, until her consciousness finally faded into nothingness.

Later, when the anesthesia finally wore off and Helena's fingers brushed against the thick bandages covering her eyes.

She was terrifyingly quiet.

The doctors and nurses who entered the room exchanged uneasy, bewildered glances.

Her chilling silence was deeply unsettling.

It was almost as if she had anticipated this exact outcome all along.

The doctor shot a tense look at a nearby nurse, who immediately scurried to Helena's bedside.
