He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 508

Julian started by explaining the botched escape plan.

Helena simply listened in silence.

Accidents happened; it wasn't exactly shocking.

Besides, as long as she was drawing breath, there were people out there who wanted her dead.

"You were pregnant. With the sheer force of the crash, the baby didn't make it," he lied smoothly, not breaking eye contact.

His mind briefly flashed to the boy now living in Sebastian's mansion.

The kid was a ghost.

There hadn't been a single media leak or paparazzi photo acknowledging the child's existence.

He had hired private investigators to dig, but the Hayes family had locked down the boy's identity tighter than a vault.

Seeing how effectively Sebastian hid the boy, Julian felt completely justified in his deception.

"Are you trying to give me a pep talk?" she chuckled dryly, looking up at him. "Are you going to tell me that I miraculously survived again, so I need to find the strength to keep living?"

She had already anticipated every cliché comfort he might offer.

Her bluntness effectively choked off whatever argument he had prepared.

A heavy wave of helplessness washed over him.

She let out another faint laugh. "Honestly, I'm amazed by how hard I am to kill."

She had practically begged for the end, yet she always woke up breathing.

It felt as if the universe was keeping her alive just to prolong her torture.

"Lena," he warned softly.

She met his eyes. "Don't worry. I'm not going to try anything stupid."

Maybe the year-long sleep had finally snapped some sense into her.

Before the crash, she had been drowning in trauma, hit with one horrific event after another without a second to breathe.

Her psyche had shattered under the impossible weight of it all.
