He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 483

Julian furrowed his brow.

She didn't offer an explanation.

She knew exactly how Janetta operated; the constant taunting was designed to provoke her into striking first.

If she took the bait, she would be dragged into an endless nightmare of consequences.

Every single encounter with that woman pushed her frayed nerves to their absolute limit.

She couldn't deny that those words had pierced straight through her armor.

The emotional turmoil she was trying to suppress bubbled dangerously close to the surface.

Her breathing grew shallow and rapid.

Julian sensed her escalating distress. "You're not in a good headspace right now. Let's go home."

"No. I have to see that girl," she insisted, her grip on his arm turning desperate.

He knew how stubborn she could be.

Realizing he couldn't talk her out of it, he finally relented.

Shortly after, they arrived at The Park right on time.

A few moments later, a young girl in a t-shirt and jeans approached them, looking barely twenty years old.

"Ms. Wallace," Rosalie greeted tentatively.

Helena offered a polite nod. "Hello."

But as Rosalie's gaze shifted to Julian, she visibly stiffened with apprehension.

"He's a friend. You don't need to worry," Helena reassured her gently.

The girl still looked terrified, refusing to utter a single word.

After a brief silence, Helena turned to Julian.

"Could you wait outside for me?" she asked softly.

He simply murmured an acknowledgment, offering no argument.

"Something happened to my sister," the girl sobbed, tears spilling down her cheeks. "My parents are completely destroyed. She was brilliant—she just finished her doctorate and started interning at the best hospital in Riverton. She had such a bright future. But one day, she came home completely terrified. She said she recorded something she wasn't supposed to, that she saw something horrific."

Those words caused every muscle in Helena's body to lock up.

She stared at the girl, unable to form a response right away.

"I begged her to tell me what it was, but she wouldn't. She only showed me a glimpse of the footage. It was a surgery. I'm not in medicine, so I didn't understand it, but she just kept repeating that it was murder," Rosalie choked out between sobs.

"She said a baby was deliberately killed. It was only later that I realized she was talking about your daughter."

"A few days after she told me that, the accident happened. The Police ruled it a tragic coincidence. A drunk driver hit her, and the guy was locked up. But she's never going to wake up. She's in a vegetative state now. She was our family's pride and joy. The shock broke my parents. My dad already had a bad heart and high blood pressure; the grief gave him a fatal heart attack. My mom completely lost her mind. She wanders around every day, searching for her." The absolute despair in her voice was crushing.

A deafening ringing filled Helena's ears as she absorbed the horrifying truth.

It was too much devastation to process all at once.

Suddenly, Rosalie grabbed both of her hands.

"Ms. Wallace, you must know who is behind all of this, right? Please, you have to tell me," she begged desperately.
