He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 434

434 /652

When Sebastian walked through the door, he immediately saw what she was doing.

His brows slammed together, and he strode quickly across the room toward her.

"Do you actually want to go completely blind?" he snapped, his voice sharp with reprimand.

Helena didn't say a word.

Ever since Hope died, the tension between them had been suffocating.

They hadn't spoken a single sentence to each other.

The atmosphere in the villa was oppressive enough to crush bone.

As soon as his harsh words hung in the air, Sebastian grabbed the remote and killed the television.

Only then did Helena's gaze shift, settling calmly in his direction.

He didn't look away.

After a long, agonizing silence, Helena finally spoke, her voice horribly raspy.

"Sebastian, is the only way I'm allowed to know about my daughter's cremation through a news broadcast?" she demanded, her tone hollow yet accusing.

His eyes locked onto hers, but he didn't answer immediately.

"I suppose I should be incredibly grateful she wasn't just tossed into an incinerator as medical waste, right?" she asked, her voice dripping with venomous mockery.

"Helena, she hasn't been cremated yet," Sebastian finally replied, his tone subdued.

In the past, he would have never bothered explaining himself.

But now, he was terrified her fragile mental state would completely shatter.

Helena stiffened. Rather than relaxing, her entire body went utterly rigid.

"And she hasn't been disposed of as medical waste, either," he added.

He took a slow step closer to her.

Helena remained rooted to the spot.

He stopped just inches away from her.

"The reporters filmed a different child being transported. They manipulated the story for views. You know how the media operates—they'll fabricate anything for a headline."
