He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 954

Claire had known the explosive truth about the girl's biological father from day one, so when she saw his name flash on her screen, she answered the call with total composure.

"It's Sebastian," he bypassed any pleasantries entirely.

"I know," she replied calmly.

"I picked Hope up from the airport. Stop panicking. I'll take full responsibility for her while she's in the Capital," he declared.

Claire didn't bother arguing.

After all, he was the girl's biological father.

Even a ruthless predator wouldn't slaughter his own cub; she knew he would guard the kid with his life.

Not to mention, Helena was there to keep him on a leash.

However, the rapidly evolving, psychotic dynamic of their newly reunited family did make her slightly anxious.

After a long pause, she finally spoke.

"Then I'll leave her in your care. If absolutely anything happens, you call me immediately," she ordered firmly.

"Understood," he agreed smoothly.

She didn't try to dictate any further terms.

It all came back to the undeniable truth: he was the only one capable of unraveling the nightmare he had created.

The Campbells were just bystanders; interfering in that bloodbath was entirely pointless.

"Put her on the phone so I can hear her voice," she requested.

He hummed in agreement and handed the phone over to the terrified child.

Skye instantly launched into a series of incredibly pathetic, entirely fabricated apologies, playing the role of the perfect, obedient angel.

He listened to the masterful performance with half an ear as he fired up the engine and pulled out of the airport.

He didn't drive toward Helena's empty apartment, but headed straight for his own sprawling estate in the Capital.

Given that she was currently trapped in a hospital bed anyway.

And would require round-the-clock intensive care the second she was discharged.

He was playing a highly calculated, utterly selfish game.

As long as he held the girl hostage at his estate.

He guaranteed that Helena would have absolutely no choice but to move into his house to be with her.

Because he knew with absolute certainty that she would never abandon her daughter.

He masterfully concealed his psychotic manipulation beneath a flawless mask of paternal concern.

Soon enough, Skye finished groveling and ended the call.
