He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 592

"Come in," Helena replied.

In the very next second, she saw Kyle's eyes light up with unmistakable joy.

It was pure, unadulterated happiness.

Helena couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

"Go to sleep," she said quietly.

Kyle immediately scrambled onto the bed, behaving perfectly.

Helena closed the door and returned to bed.

True to his word, Kyle didn't make a peep to disturb her.

Soon, the sleeping pills pulled Helena back into a deep slumber.

The two of them slept peacefully through the night.

Outside the window, the violent storm battering Riverton finally began to ease.

...

The next morning.

When Helena opened her eyes, daylight had broken outside, though a light, steady drizzle still fell.

It was a soft, continuous patter.

The traffic on the streets had already returned to its normal rhythm.

The master bedroom was completely quiet.

Helena hadn't lost her memory; she clearly remembered Kyle sneaking in halfway through the night.

She instinctively glanced at the time—it was already nearing noon.

The heavy dose of the sleeping pills must have knocked her out cold.

Combined with her phone being on silent.

She had missed every single notification on her screen.

There were several missed calls from her assistant and Julian.

She fired off a text to her assistant, asking her to come pick her up at the apartment.

Only then did she dial Julian's number.

Almost the second the call connected, Julian's voice came through the line.

"Lena, why weren't you answering? Did something happen?" His tone was tight with anxiety.

Helena shook her head. "No, I just couldn't sleep last night, so I took a pill. That's why I woke up so late this morning."

Julian paused for a moment. "Why couldn't you sleep?"

"I guess I'm just not used to sleeping in a new place," Helena explained.

She didn't offer any extra details.

She didn't want him to worry.

Turning back to her phone, she lowered her voice. "I'm going to go get ready."

"Alright," Julian simply said.

With that, Helena ended the call.

A wave of guilt washed over her.

She couldn't shake the creeping sensation of being dragged into an impossibly tangled, messy web.

For a fleeting moment, she started to question whether her decisions were truly the right ones.

But ultimately, she pushed the thought aside, staying calm and silent.

She quietly turned and went into the walk-in closet.

She got dressed, relieved to find her undergarments had been fully dried.

By the time she stepped out of the room, she had tucked her emotions away flawlessly.

Sebastian wasn't waiting outside the door.

She also noticed that Kyle was no longer in the house.

On the dining table sat a simple, freshly prepared breakfast.

"Eat something. I'll drop you off at your hotel," Sebastian offered casually.

Helena looked at him. "There's no need. My assistant will be here any minute."

Almost the exact second the words left her mouth, her assistant's call came through.
