He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 829

It took a long time for Sebastian to regain his composure.

He stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, faintly making out the quiet balcony of Helena's apartment across the way.

He just stood there, staring.

Beau Sterling, having already heard the news, texted him.

Beau: [Is Helena really alive?]

Sebastian: [Yes.]

Beau: [Is this new Helena actually her?]

Sebastian: [Yes.]

Beau fell silent on his end, probably at a total loss for what to ask next.

After a long pause, Beau called him.

"If she really is Helena, what are you going to do?" Beau asked quietly.

Sebastian didn't answer, clearly lost in thought.

Even Beau wasn't sure how to keep the conversation going.

No one had expected Helena to still be alive.

And certainly not living right under their noses in this manner.

Everyone remembered the events of that year vividly.

Driven by her deeply rooted feud with Janetta, Helena had supposedly rammed her car into her.

Janetta had pressed charges.

But everyone knew that if Helena had just refused to confess, the charges would never have stuck.

After all, they were in Riverton.

It was Sebastian's territory, and he held enough power to bury the sun.

Yet Helena had pleaded guilty immediately.

She hadn't given Sebastian a single chance to intervene.

Everyone knew Helena had never intended to walk away with her life.

Those words brought a brief pause to the line.

Suddenly, Beau understood.

Sebastian had zero intention of taking Janetta's side in this.

"Seb, if this blows up, have you thought about Kyle?" Beau asked out of nowhere.

Sebastian didn't answer right away.

Beau's voice pressed on. "Kyle is just a kid. He desperately wants and expects a mother's love. He doesn't even know Janetta isn't his biological mom. Once this explodes... he's going to find out he was born via IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and won't even know who his real mother is. When that happens..."

"We'll wait and see," Sebastian finally answered quietly.

Beau didn't press the issue any further.

For now, that was the only option.

They swiftly moved on from the topic, and Beau hung up.

He knew Sebastian had no mind for idle chatter right now.

After ending the call, Sebastian stood there, staring at the DNA report in his hand.
