He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 574

He kissed her as if trying to brand himself into her very soul.

Julian knew with absolute certainty that he would rather die than let Helena go.

He didn't stop until Helena was gasping for air.

Julian wasn't faring much better.

He slowly pulled back.

His breathing was harsh and ragged.

For a long moment, he simply stared at her, saying nothing.

Helena sat there, trying to catch her breath.

Julian raised a hand, gently brushing his thumb across her swollen lips. "Never again, Lena."

He was referring to today's 'accident'.

Helena nodded. "Alright."

Julian didn't say another word.

He turned, stepped out of the car, and walked around to open her door.

Helena stepped out into the cool air.

Both of them had managed to wrangle their emotions back under control, burying the explosive tension from moments ago.

Julian took her hand and led her to the elevator, bringing her straight back to their room.

The doctor was already waiting.

Helena didn't put up a fight as the doctor ran a thorough check-up, eventually confirming she was fine.

Only then did Julian's posture relax.

"Mr. Campbell, the drug was extremely potent, so there's still some residual toxin in her system. I've prescribed some medication and administered an injection. It should flush out naturally through her metabolism," the doctor murmured to Julian.

Julian offered a terse nod.

The doctor was a seasoned professional; it was obvious what Helena had been doing earlier to break the fever.

But since Julian hadn't brought it up, she knew better than to say a word.

The doctor quickly packed up and left.

Julian walked back over to Helena just as she swallowed the last of her pills.

"Get some rest," he said gently.

"Okay," she replied.

She turned and headed for the bathroom to shower.

Julian stood rooted to the spot, silent as the grave.

He didn't move until the bathroom door clicked shut, only then turning and leaving the bedroom.

He went straight to his study.
