He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 461

Julian Campbell's gaze turned somber.

This time, he took the initiative to ask Helena Wallace, "Why are you being so hard on yourself?"

Helena paused, quickly understanding what he was asking.

She lowered her head, offering no answer, though she seemed to be lost in thought.

In truth, Helena knew she still couldn't let it go, even now.

Many things had become insurmountable hurdles in her heart, wounds that simply refused to heal.

Julian didn't press her when she remained silent.

"Forget it. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. It's all in the past anyway," Julian said smoothly.

Helena offered a soft hum of agreement.

With that, Julian handed a file folder to Helena.

"This is the cause of Hope's death," Julian stated concisely.

Those words made Helena's expression shift, though she managed to maintain a facade of composure.

Her hands trembled slightly as she opened the envelope.

Julian merely glanced at her without saying a word.

He kept his eyes focused on the road ahead.

Helena looked down, reading the contents carefully.

The cause of Hope's death detailed in the file matched what she had previously heard.

"Hope suffered from complications caused by a medication overdose," Julian said without hiding anything. "Furthermore, during the surgery, the doctor never planned to let her survive, which is why the operation wasn't successful."

Julian didn't keep even the cruelest details from Helena.

Helena's fingertips quivered, and she remained completely silent.

She just kept staring at the pages.

The cold, clinical text glared back at her.

She could hardly bear to imagine it.

Under those circumstances, Hope had been a newborn of only a dozen days, unable to speak.

She probably couldn't even fully process the pain.

He didn't sugarcoat the answer, giving it to Helena straight.

Before Helena could respond, Julian continued, "It's obvious, but you have no proof. Janetta is extremely cautious, so this remains our educated guess. The matter went through several hands, leaving you with absolutely no recourse. It's all just speculation."

That was the harsh reality.

At the very least, there was currently zero evidence tying Janetta to the crime.

Helena knew Julian was right.

Helena grew eerily quiet.

"The Intern Lance James found for you has already left. I checked all the interns' records and tracked her down, but the recording on her phone was just standard surgical documentation. There's no usable evidence."

"The doctor who operated on Hope has moved out of the country. Her malpractice was executed so flawlessly that medical boards couldn't officially rule it an error. She is a highly intelligent person. As for altering the medication dosage, it's impossible to trace because no one knows which day it happened, and the proof is gone."

Julian laid out the entire situation for Helena.

Therefore, the investigation was a complete dead end.

Knowing the truth without having the evidence meant she could only watch helplessly.

Helena listened, her fists clenched so tightly they never loosened.
