He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 493

The revelation left Sebastian utterly speechless.

He clearly hadn't seen this coming.

Julian watched Sebastian's stunned reaction and scoffed coldly.

"I will spend the rest of my life making sure you pay for this," Julian swore, letting his threat hang in the air.

Sebastian stood there, pure shock radiating from his eyes.

It took him a long time to even process the reality of what he'd just heard.

Before he could recover, an officer approached them.

Both men immediately snapped their attention to the cop.

"Mr. Campbell," the officer addressed Julian directly. "Helena wants to see you."

This meant she was finally awake.

Julian didn't hesitate, striding briskly toward her room.

Sebastian immediately tried to follow him.

But this time, the police stepped firmly in his path.

"Mr. Hayes, you cannot go in until all the legal procedures are cleared. We advised Ms. Wallace to contact a lawyer, and she specifically requested Mr. Campbell. Therefore, he is the only one permitted inside. I'm sorry," the officer stated calmly.

Sebastian froze in place, glaring darkly at the man. "And if I insist on going in?"

"Please don't make this harder than it has to be," the officer sighed. "There are a lot of protocols to follow, and this case has blown up. The press and Janetta's fans are swarming the perimeter like sharks. The higher-ups are under a lot of pressure. Even if you want to see her, you'll have to wait until she's discharged and transferred to the precinct."

Lowering his voice, the officer gave Sebastian a warning look. "If you force your way in now, you'll only make things worse for her."

That finally forced Sebastian to rein in his temper.

The core of the problem still revolved around Janetta.

Helena's reckless actions had handed Janetta all the power once again.

Sebastian gave a curt nod. "Fine."

Seeing that he had backed down, the officer didn't press the issue.

He turned and headed back into the room.

Sebastian remained standing in the corridor.

Janetta was still in surgery.

Given the complexity of operating on her brain, compounded by today's brutal crash, the situation was a chaotic nightmare.

Her words made Julian's expression darken.

"I'm so tired, Jules," she finished quietly.

She felt like she was cursed to endure.

No matter what she did, death always seemed to reject her.

Taking her own life hadn't worked.

Even crashing a car at that speed hadn't finished the job; the reinforced door frame had saved her.

When she hit the gas and aimed for Janetta, she only wanted mutual destruction.

Yet, somehow, she had survived.

Helena didn't feel lucky; she only felt an exhausting, soul-crushing despair.

Julian's jaw locked as he stared down at her. "I won't let them lock you away."

Helena said nothing, retreating into her silence.

"Janetta is in surgery right now, and from what I've heard, she's going to pull through. If she survives and you go to prison, she will make your life a living hell behind bars. I will not stand by and watch that happen," Julian vowed fiercely.
