He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 458

"Sebastian, let me go," Helena said flatly.

Yet the absolute revulsion in her eyes was unmistakable.

The exact spot where his hand gripped her arm was right over her suicide scar.

The wound had been devastatingly deep.

Though it had fully healed now.

The horrific, jagged scar would never fade.

Sebastian's mind instantly flashed back to the sight of her lying in that blood-soaked bathtub.

And the dead, lifeless look in her eyes after the doctors had forcibly dragged her back to the world of the living.

He knew she had truly wanted to die.

It hadn't been an act for attention.

When a person reached that level of absolute despair, they simply had no desire left to breathe.

The existence of that scar felt like a brutal slap to his conscience.

Slowly, Sebastian released his grip on her arm.

Helena instantly snatched her hand back.

"What are your plans now?" he asked, forcing his voice into a calm, measured tone.

She still refused to answer.

The car finally glided to a halt in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Helena stepped out of the vehicle the second the doors unlocked.

Sebastian stared at her retreating back, choosing to remain silent.

A moment later, he followed her out of the car.

The two of them kept a low profile as they walked into the government building.

However, the press had caught wind of their arrival and flocked to the scene.

They were swiftly held back by the bodyguards.

Inside, the government staff were already waiting for them.

Helena didn't hesitate for a single second as she signed her name on the documents.

Once finished, she looked up at the clerk and asked carefully.

"With this signed, are there any other procedures left?"

"No, that's everything," the clerk confirmed.

Sebastian's commanding tone made the reality of the situation painfully clear.

The one who was refusing to let go of this marriage was Sebastian Hayes, not Helena.

"Mr. Hayes, that... that goes against protocol," the clerk stammered nervously.

"Then restart the entire process," Sebastian stated, emphasizing every word without a hint of a joke.

The clerk immediately clamped their mouth shut.

Without another word, Sebastian spun around and quickly caught up with Helena.

By the time she stepped outside, the press was swarming the entrance.

They immediately rushed toward her.

"Helena, are you and Mr. Hayes here to finalize your divorce?" a reporter shouted.

This time, she looked directly at the cameras with terrifying calm.

She didn't flinch or shy away.

Her intense composure actually made the reporters momentarily nervous.

"Mr. Hayes and I no longer have any relationship," Helena stated calmly.

The press immediately pressed on. "Is it because of Janetta Ramirez?"
