He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 429

Helena was completely apathetic.

She spent most of her time in the side drawing room, staring blankly at the garden.

Sebastian completely ignored her as well, though he chose to work at a desk just a short distance away from her.

Coincidentally, they were sharing the same space.

Yet they existed in entirely separate worlds.

Even the maids were smart enough to completely avoid appearing in front of them.

Terrified of getting caught in the crossfire.

Even Janetta seemed to have completely vanished into thin air lately.

But the moment he hung up the phone with the hospital, Helena's gaze locked onto him.

He had the phone on speaker, so she had heard every word.

It was the hospital, and it was about Hope.

"I need to go to the hospital," she said, looking up and breaking her four-day silence.

He looked at her, fully aware she wanted to see Hope.

But the baby was just a corpse now.

Lying freezing cold in the hospital's morgue.

And Janetta was still at that hospital.

He didn't want any more drama to erupt.

So he rejected her with a cold expression. "You're staying right here."

"I am Hope's mother, and I was the one who signed the consent form to end her care. Even if she's just a body now, I need to see her. If the Hayes Estate refuses to handle it and won't cremate her, I will do it myself!" Helena enunciated every word.

When it came to anything involving Hope, she completely refused to back down.

"I said, stay exactly where you are. You don't need to handle any of this," he replied with ruthless finality.

Then he turned to the bodyguards. "Keep a close eye on Madam. I don't want any more mistakes."

"Yes, Sir," they answered without hesitation.

The moment the words left his mouth, he turned to leave.

Without a second thought, she tried to run after him.

The bodyguards immediately blocked her path and held her back.

The maids rushed over to help restrain her as well.

She had absolutely no way out, forced to remain exactly where she was.

She collapsed onto the floor, staring in absolute despair as he walked away.

There was nothing she could do.

Janetta had received the news instantly and was already waiting for him.

"Seb," she greeted, walking up to him.

Sensing his dark mood, Janetta acted with extreme caution.

Her face was a perfect mask of sorrow.

"Please don't be too hard on yourself. I know dealing with the baby's passing must be incredibly painful for you. After all, she was your daughter."

In front of him, she always played the role of the remarkably understanding partner.

Completely disregarding her own needs, she acted as if she only cared about his well-being.

That was precisely the trait Sebastian liked most about her.

With his dominant personality, he didn't need someone who constantly fought him at every turn.

He could easily tolerate her minor tantrums.

But this time, he merely stared at her in silence.

He didn't know why.

Maybe it was her endlessly flawless, unwavering facade.

Or maybe it was the sheer weight of everything that had happened recently.

Her relentless scheming, Helena's utter despair, losing Hope, everything.
