He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 76

"Mr. Hayes, Ms. Ramirez is at the hospital. She just arrived," Carter said quickly.

Sebastian's brows snapped together. "Understood." He hung up and strode swiftly toward the hospital lobby.

He hadn't told Janetta he was spending his days coaxing Helena. First, he didn't want to risk upsetting Janetta given her pregnancy. Second, he knew exactly how manipulative Janetta could be, and he wanted to keep the drama to a minimum. He never expected her to show up unannounced.

A flicker of intense irritation crossed his mind. But on the surface, his protective instincts over Janetta quickly masked his annoyance.

"Sebastian!" Janetta called out, spotting him near the elevators.

He closed the distance between them. "What are you doing here?" His tone was sharp, carrying an edge of displeasure.

Janetta, an expert at reading his moods, instantly softened her approach. "Did you forget?" she pouted, her voice dripping with sweet vulnerability. "I have my check-up today. The doctor said my condition was unstable and I needed weekly monitoring just to be safe."

Her tone was so delicate, almost a playful reproach. It hit Sebastian instantly—he had been so consumed with keeping Helena in line that he had completely neglected Janetta. And yet, she wasn't throwing a tantrum. Even faced with his harsh tone, she was acting like the perfect, understanding partner.

The contrast between her sweet compliance and Helena's stubborn defiance was glaring. A sharp pang of guilt hit him.

"I'm sorry. I've been overwhelmed with work," he lied smoothly, his apology entirely sincere. "I'll go with you to see the doctor."

"Okay," Janetta smiled radiantly, seamlessly slipping her hand into his.
