He Never Loved Me Until the Day I Finally Left Him novel Chapter 798

But now, with this gentle treatment, that suffocating wave of anxiety rushed back with a vengeance.

It pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

Her pace quickened.

Sebastian watched her from the car, his gaze unblinking.

Only when her figure completely disappeared did he lower his eyes and drive toward Janetta's event.

Helena stepped into the elevator, riding it straight up to her apartment.

Skye and Kyle were both inside.

Seeing the two children playing together, she had the fleeting illusion that they were true siblings.

Especially with their heads bent together over toys in the living room.

They looked inexplicably similar.

Given her state of mind, she remained completely silent.

The two children noticed her and greeted her sweetly.

"Lena." "Helena."

They offered her bright smiles.

She didn't say anything, merely returning a faint smile.

"What are you playing?" she asked, walking toward them.

"A puzzle," Skye chirped happily.

She pushed the box toward her. "Kyle brought it."

Helena glanced at it; it clearly wasn't a standard puzzle.

She smiled but kept quiet.

Neither child mentioned where she had been last night, nor did they bring up Sebastian.

Soon, they returned to their game.

Sebastian had made sure she ate lunch earlier.

The nanny had also fed the two kids.

But as her medication wore off, that suffocating, restless anxiety flared up again.

No one understood her condition better.

After returning from her advanced studies, she had resumed Helena's care.

She thought her patient was finally in the clear, only to see the trauma resurfacing.

"A lot has been happening. My sleep is terrible, work is stressful, and there's Skye's upcoming surgery," she offered a partial truth.

Dr. Chapman listened with furrowed brows.

She knew the pills were the only thing keeping Helena grounded right now.

But true healing had to come from within.

Forcing the issue would only make her patient snap.

It was a delicate balancing act.

"Mrs. Campbell, when you have time, I'll come see you," Dr. Chapman finally said.

She didn't ask Helena to come to the clinic; she offered to go to her.

"Okay." She didn't refuse.
