Bye, My Irresistible Love

George’s POV: 

I followed the GPS in the car and drove all the way to a private psychiatric hospital in the suburb .Was Helen’s mother hospitalized here? I got out of the car and followed Helen into the hospital.She seemed familiar with the layout here.She quickly located the doctor’s office and talked to him at length about her mother’s condition.

I leaned against the door and felt a severe heartache.

At that moment, I realized that I didn’t know much about the real Helen.

In fact, I felt as if I didn’t know her at all.

After I graduated from high school, I went abroad and lost touch with her.I would find an occasional update about her on her social media account.I had asked Kendal about her on a few occasions, but he hardly had anything to share.

When we met again after I returned home, we just engaged in a casual sexual relationship with no strings attached.So I did not get a chance to know her.I felt like a complete jerk.I was familiar with every inch of Helen’s body yet I knew nothing else about her life.I still remembered her and her family as the way they were when we were in high school.I had no idea what happened later.

Now everything finally started to make sense.

Helen didn’t believe in my love for her for a good reason.I had always been too arrogant, and never took the trouble to get to know her.

Helen talked with the doctor for a long time before she walked out of the office.Then she called the nurse to take her to her mother.

I patiently followed her to the in-patient department.

Her mother, accompanied by a nurse, was basking in the sun in the hospital garden.

When she saw Helen, a bright smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Where were you lost for so many days? Why didn’t you come to see me?"

Her tone, although soft, was a little bit reproachful, but her eyes were particularly gentle and calm when she looked at Helen.

Helen held her arm and replied in a cute manner, "I’m busy with a new case at work.I’m sorry."

I stood aside and watched them silently.It was the first time that I had seen Helen acting like a spoiled child.It seemed that in her mother’s company, she removed her hard shell and the softest part of her heart was revealed.

When she was with her mother, she was relaxed and happy.I had the impression that although Helen looked meek, she was actually stubborn.

No matter what happened, she would endure all the pressure alone rather than ask for help.

So sometimes I would subconsciously forget that she, like everyone else, also needed love and care.
