He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 495

Julian's plan was even simpler.

He was going to tell her that Hope was still alive.

He needed her to recant her confession.

And he knew Sebastian wouldn't use his power to make things harder for her in this situation.

The officer looked at Julian and sighed. "I'll go in and ask one more time. She might be a suspect, but she still has rights. If she says no, we can't force her."

Truthfully, the officers had dealt with plenty of suspects.

They could see how fragile Helena's mental state was.

They were terrified of pushing her too far, afraid she might try to end her life right there in the precinct.

If that happened, heads would roll.

"Thank you," Julian nodded.

Sebastian looked at Julian with an unreadable expression but stayed quiet.

The officer turned and walked back into the interrogation area.

Helena sat rigidly in her chair, her empty eyes fixed on the man in uniform.

"I don't want to see anyone. No one," she repeated in a flat, monotone voice.

The officer had heard this same line over and over.

Sebastian had demanded to see her.

She had rejected him more times than anyone could count.

The same went for Julian.

She was done with all of it.

Helena wasn't stupid; she noticed the police were treating her very differently this time.

The moment she tried to confess, they immediately changed the subject and stopped the recording.

They were practically handing her loopholes to escape.

But she remained stubbornly resolute.

So when the officer appeared again, she delivered her usual, emotionless rejection.

The police felt helpless, but the officer relayed Julian's message word for word.

"Mr. Campbell said he has something incredibly important to tell you," the officer finished.

Helena didn't even blink. "I don't want to see anyone."

He had wanted to use the baby to spark Helena's will to live.

But instead, he had just received news that Hope was on the verge of dying.

Julian knew that if he gave Helena hope now, only to shatter it again with a tragic outcome, it would break her completely.

There would be no saving her after that.

So, Julian stood there in heavy, suffocating silence.

At that exact moment, Sebastian's phone buzzed.

It was a call from the hospital.

Janetta was still admitted.

Because of Helena's reckless attack, both women had ended up in hospital beds.

Helena had suffered fractures and a concussion, which just required time to heal.

But Janetta's situation was entirely different. She had a brain tumor, and the crash had been violent.

Even though the SUV had ultimately wedged itself in the reinforced doors, the initial impact had battered Janetta severely.

Her condition was far more critical than Helena's.
