He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 494

"Go back to Coralia, Julian," Helena repeated calmly.

Then, she closed her eyes and stopped speaking entirely.

Julian stood frozen by her bed, unable to move.

When his time was up, the police came back in.

Julian was forced to leave, knowing that fighting would only cause more trouble for her.

Helena kept her eyes shut.

After Julian left, she refused to see anyone else.

Once her vitals stabilized, she shockingly requested to be taken to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

Her request left the officers staring at each other in disbelief.

But protocol had to be followed.

So, she was taken in for interrogation.

She had sat in this exact interrogation room before.

Back then, no matter what tactics they used, she had refused to admit to anything.

But this time, everyone in the room could sense that she had zero will to live.

Before the detectives even started their questioning, she confessed on her own.

"Yes, I was fully sober. I wasn't driving under the influence. My target was Janetta Ramirez. I wanted to kill her," Helena stated, enunciating every word with terrifying clarity.

The cameras in the room recorded everything.

Every syllable was logged as admissible evidence.

The detectives exchanged uneasy glances.

"That's enough for today," one of the officers suddenly said, standing up.

They didn't ask her to sign the official confession just yet.

Helena was escorted to a holding cell.

Compared to the psychological torture she had endured last time, the conditions were much better.

Aside from the lack of freedom, she wasn't mistreated in any way.

But she remained eerily silent.

So quiet that it felt as though she wasn't even there.

During this time, she refused all visitors.

Even when she was permitted to consult with a lawyer, she turned them away.

If she had, she wouldn't have tried to take Janetta down with her.

And the cycle was continuing.

Every time she survived a brush with death, it only reinforced her belief that she was a cursed existence.

So it was obvious what she was doing now.

She was surrendering to her fate.

When a person completely gives up on themselves, they revert to the same lifeless state she had been in before.

Nothing could reach her now.

"Tell Helena I need to see her. Tell her I have something incredibly important to say," Julian said, snapping out of his daze and looking the officer dead in the eye.

Sebastian glanced at Julian.

But for once, he kept his mouth shut.

They despised each other.

But when it came to saving Helena, they were surprisingly on the same side.

If Julian could just get in the room, he might be able to talk some sense into her.

That had been Sebastian's goal all along.
