He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 454

Although Hope's vital signs remained incredibly weak, they were at least stable.

The doctors had also reviewed the events leading up to her sudden deterioration back in Riverton.

The dosage of her medication had been increased far beyond what a child of her weight and age could endure.

Naturally, it had caused a catastrophic failure.

But the biggest issue wasn't the medication—it was the surgery itself.

The surgery should have been a complete success.

However, the surgical team had made a fatal error, which directly led to her critical condition afterward.

For a seasoned medical professional, it was a mistake that never should have happened.

It was as if it had been done on purpose.

The specialist team concluded that someone likely hadn't wanted the child to survive.

"Mr. Campbell, that's the gist of the situation," the doctor explained truthfully.

Julian listened, standing as still as a statue.

His gaze was calm, and he didn't say a word right away.

Based on the doctor's report, he instantly guessed exactly who was behind this.

Janetta Ramirez.

As for why it wasn't Sebastian, Julian knew the answer perfectly well.

Sebastian needed the baby to keep Helena chained to him.

Therefore, Sebastian had every reason to ensure the child lived.

If Hope died, his final tie to Helena would be severed completely.

She would have nothing left to lose, just as she was proving right now.

Janetta was the only one who desperately wanted the baby dead.

Because as long as Hope lived, she was a ticking time bomb that could shatter Janetta's relationship with Sebastian at any moment.

At that thought, Julian's eyes darkened with cold fury.

"Do everything in your power to save this child. But do not breathe a word of this to anyone on the outside," Julian snapped back to reality, his voice a low, heavy command.

"Understood," the doctor replied.

Julian offered no further response.

He lowered his gaze, settling into a brooding silence, before calling Jensen Shaw.

Jensen was his trusted assistant, the man who handled his most critical affairs.

"Investigate every single doctor and staff member involved in Hope's surgery. Look into all their connections, including the entire medical team," Julian ordered quietly.

Meanwhile, back in her apartment, Helena barely reacted after sending the text.

She hadn't even bothered to eat.

She hadn't reached out to Lance James again either.

Her eyes were glued to her laptop screen.

This was the security footage she had requested from Carter Miles; it had been in her possession ever since that day.

She watched it over and over again.

She played the crucial timestamps on a relentless loop.

She was desperate to find a single clue.

She searched until exhaustion seeped into her bones, her eyes burning and blurring from the strain.

It felt like she was making zero progress.

Frustration settled over her, and she slumped back against the sofa.

Yet, her gaze never left the screen, refusing to give up.

Suddenly, her eyes went wide, and she leaned forward abruptly.

She zoomed in on the frame. Then zoomed in again.
