He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 632

Inside the precinct, Helena immediately spotted Skye.

The little girl was munching on a bag of potato chips, giggling endlessly at a cartoon playing on a screen in front of her.

She didn't look the least bit like a lost, terrified child.

Clearly, she had been thoroughly spoiled by the officers.

Seeing this utterly relaxed scene, Helena let out an exasperated laugh.

"Skye Campbell!" Helena called out her full name sharply.

Hearing her name, Skye immediately stuck out her tongue, then sheepishly trudged over to Helena.

An officer quickly followed her over.

He gave Helena a brief rundown of how they had found the child.

"This little girl flew here all the way from Coralia on her own. When she was boarding, she apparently just pointed to some man in front of her and claimed he was her guardian, and the staff let her right on. After she landed in Riverton, she wandered around for a bit, got lost, and ended up calling the police herself. You were the first contact in her phone, so we gave you a ring."

Even the officer couldn't believe how absurd the whole situation was.

Helena was mortified. "I am so sorry. I apologize..."

Skye grabbed Helena's hand. "Lena, don't be mad! I just didn't know which way to go. But look, I knew to find a nice police officer!"

Helena shot her a withering glare.

Skye instantly zipped her lips.

When Sebastian walked in, he was greeted by this exact scene.

As he looked between Skye and Helena, it struck him just how much the two resembled each other.

Was that why Helena was so close to the child? Because they looked alike?

For some inexplicable reason, Sebastian's mind drifted to the daughter he had lost.

The daughter the original Helena had taken to the grave with her.

Back then, Helena had also wanted to name their baby 'Hope'.

Sebastian crouched down to her eye level. "Hello, Skye."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the officer suddenly snapped, aiming his ire squarely at Helena.

"You two are obviously mother and daughter! I don't know how things are registered over in Coralia, but you look exactly like this child. There's no way you're not her mother. And the age gap makes the 'sister' story ridiculous. How can a mother let her child wander off like this, and then have the audacity to claim she's just a sister?"

The officer looked at Skye in sheer exasperation.

Helena was so utterly blindsided by the scolding that she couldn't find her words.

Hearing this, Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly.

As absurd as it sounded, he surprisingly couldn't find a single flaw in the officer's logic.

Before Sebastian could even open his mouth, the officer's fury pivoted directly onto him.

"And you! You're obviously the father! How can you two be so incredibly negligent as parents?!" The officer was practically seething now.

As he ranted, he even gestured wildly, pointing out the exact features Skye shared with both of them.
