He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 855

"She's fine," Julian Campbell replied. "It's just going to take a little more time."

"She hasn't woken up yet?" Skye Campbell frowned. "How can she be fine if she's still asleep?"

"It's a bit complicated. Right now, you just need to focus on resting, otherwise Lena will be worried sick when she wakes up," Julian said softly, comforting her. "Once she's better, I'll let you see her, okay? Given your current condition, going over there could risk cross-infection, which would make things worse."

Julian showed no sign of anger, gently coaxing her.

Skye didn't throw a tantrum, simply nodding obediently.

But her eyes still held deep concern for Helena Wallace.

"Trust me, I won't let anything happen to Lena," Julian promised.

Skye didn't doubt Julian for a second. "Okay."

Julian didn't say anything else.

He stayed with Skye for a little while longer.

After all, having just undergone major surgery, Skye's stamina was at rock bottom, and she fell asleep shortly after.

Only then did Julian calmly leave the room.

With a somber expression, he strode out of the hospital.

Lance James quickly followed him.

They drove straight to Northbay Cove.

Northbay Cove had little presence in Coralia; most of its residents relied on the fishing industry.

With the rapid development of the internet, things had changed.

The young people of Northbay Cove rarely returned once they left.

So the area gradually became desolate and forgotten.

Julian never expected a place like Northbay Cove to be the hideout.

To avoid drawing attention, he drove a very low-profile car into the village.

Northbay Cove was sparsely populated, the air heavy with the scent of saltwater and fish.

Julian wasn't in a hurry to get out; he simply rolled down the window and observed the surroundings from inside the car.

Lance stayed in the car as well.

"Julian, aren't we getting out?" Lance asked.

"No need. This place is tiny. Since Jensen Shaw said they come out for a walk in the evening, we'll just wait here. Getting out might draw unwanted attention. We're looking for Sebastian Hayes, and don't you think he'd be hiding from us?" Julian countered calmly.

They exchanged a glance, suddenly finding the situation absurd.

It was as if Helena had regressed to the woman she was years ago.

Back when she was dead set on following Sebastian, completely reckless and devoted.

Under these circumstances, Julian couldn't help but feel caught off guard.

"Where are you going?" Lance grabbed Julian's arm.

Julian looked at Lance, quickly regaining his composure.

"Don't be impulsive, Sebastian will definitely react. Now that we know she's here, we need to go back and form a plan. That's better than a reckless confrontation," Lance advised.

Julian didn't argue, silently agreeing.

They stayed in the car, watching.

Just as Jensen had mentioned, Sebastian took Helena for a half-hour walk before they headed back.

After they returned indoors.

Julian finally drove away.
