He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 846

There was a hint of probing in those words.

Solomon knew very well that if the Campbell family had authorized the procedure, such a rookie mistake would never have happened.

During his consultation with Skye's previous doctors, they had explicitly stated the surgery occurred right after she was born.

Yet, the botched operation was already a done deal.

Solomon wasn't an idiot; as an objective outsider, the pieces of the puzzle clicked together instantly.

To get real answers, he had to test Julian.

Julian met Solomon's gaze without batting an eye. "The Campbell family has plenty of enemies."

He offered no further explanation, leaving Solomon unable to tell if he was lying, so the doctor merely nodded.

Solomon didn't push the issue any further.

"Skye's fate is up to a higher power now. If she makes it through these next seven days, she should be in the clear, though she'll need one final surgery at age twelve," Solomon concluded flatly.

Julian gave a curt nod of acknowledgment.

The two men stepped into the ICU together.

Meanwhile—

Helena had indeed been abducted by Sebastian.

They were hiding in a secluded fishing village on the outskirts of Coralia, surrounded by nothing but the quiet crashing of waves.

Sebastian stared down at Helena in silence.

The local doctor had just finished examining her.

"Your wife is simply in a coma. All her other vitals are stable. You just have to wait until she's ready to wake up," the doctor stated matter-of-factly.

"Understood," Sebastian nodded.

The doctor didn't linger, turning and leaving the quiet safe house.

Sebastian stayed rooted to the spot, keeping his vigil by Helena's side.

His mind flashed back to Julian's furious roars during their confrontation.

Years ago, Helena had fallen into a similar coma, but back then, she had remained unconscious for a year and a half.

And now...

Sebastian lowered his gaze, remaining entirely silent.

His hand reached out, gently caressing Helena's pale cheek, his eyes darkening with a complex, swirling intensity.

Forcing himself to stay calm, he crossed the room toward the master bedroom.

There, he saw Helena sitting up, leaning back against the headboard with an eerie stillness.

As soon as he entered, her gaze snapped in his direction.

Sebastian froze, immediately sensing that something was fundamentally wrong.

Her eyes were completely unfocused.

They were hollow.

She was only looking at him because she had tracked the sound of his footsteps.

He didn't speak, just closed the distance between them.

"Lena?" Sebastian's voice was laced with cautious hesitation. "About all this..."

He was trying to formulate an explanation.

But before he could finish his sentence, Helena's voice cut through the air.

"Who are you? Why can't I see anything?" She frowned in distress. "I can't remember anything at all. Why am I here? Why does my chest hurt so much?"

She fired question after question at him, the panic in her tone unmistakable.
