He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 439

Over the next few days, Helena was unnervingly quiet.

So quiet that it began to incite a creeping panic among the staff.

When she had been quiet before, she at least showed faint traces of human emotion.

She might lose her appetite, request to go for a walk, stare blankly into space, or watch the news.

But now, she simply curled up in the chair by the floor-to-ceiling window and didn't move a muscle.

If you didn't look closely, you would think she was already dead.

This realization made everyone in the villa extremely anxious.

They were genuinely terrified she might do something drastic.

Because everyone knew that while Sebastian acted like he couldn't care less about her...

In reality, they were ordered to report her every single movement to him.

Clearly, he wasn't as indifferent as he pretended to be.

If she actually died on their watch...

They would be the ones to suffer his wrath.

Because of this, the entire staff walked on eggshells around her.

Sebastian hadn't returned home since that night.

Given their explosive falling out and the pending equity transfer paperwork, his absence was expected.

But his absence didn't bring Helena any relief.

She was just slightly less suffocated than when he was physically in the room.

Whether he came back or not didn't seem to matter to her anymore.

"Madam, please have something to eat," the butler urged cautiously, setting her afternoon snack down on the small table.

"Okay," she replied, looking at him with placid compliance.

It was exactly this eerie lack of resistance that put the butler on edge.

He stood nearby, watching her.

She didn't say anything else.

She genuinely lowered her head and began quietly sipping the Tonic Broth.

The television in front of her was the only tether she had to the outside world.

She still didn't have a phone; she couldn't contact a single living soul.

Suddenly, Janetta's face appeared on the screen.

Hearing her voice, Helena reflexively looked up.

She realized The Entertainment Show was playing.
