He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 95

He knew better than anyone what it would mean if they lost this baby.

It would mean an endless, brutal war with Helena.

And trying to conceive again would be next to impossible.

He absolutely could not let this child die.

"Don't touch me," Helena wheezed, shoving him away weakly.

She slumped against the couch, clutching her cramping stomach. The bright red blood rapidly stained the white upholstery.

All the color had completely drained from her face.

Her breathing grew shallow and erratic.

Sebastian froze, utterly blindsided by her rejection.

Looking into her eyes, he saw a woman who had completely given up. It was a terrifying, reckless resolve.

An unshakeable determination to sever all ties with him, even if it cost her everything.

For the very first time, a jolt of real fear pierced through him, followed by a faint, unfamiliar ache in his chest.

He had told himself a thousand times to stay completely detached, yet she managed to trigger his most primal emotions with terrifying ease.

If he really felt nothing for her, why was he constantly thrown off balance by her pain?

For a brief second, even he didn't know the answer.

He just stood there, staring at her in horror.

"Lena, what will it take for you to believe that I never wanted a divorce?" he pleaded, his voice cracking. "What will it take for you to stop fighting me and just go to the hospital? Stop playing Russian roulette with the baby!"

His tone was shockingly soft, laced with undeniable dread.

Her sheer willingness to throw her own life—and the baby's—away just to escape him terrified him to his core.

How could he not be panicking?

It wasn't just about the shares anymore. Seeing her crumble like this felt as if the impenetrable fortress he had built around his heart had been violently smashed to pieces in a single night.

Total defeat.

His desperate plea finally caught her attention. She weakly lifted her head to look at him.

Then, she let out a broken, hollow laugh. "Fine. Drop to your knees right now, and maybe I'll believe you."
