Leave something out of a capturing group

I am trying to match a string and leave part of the match
out of the
matching group. For example:

Source String:

Hi Hello Hi

Regex that almost does what I want:

.*(He(?:ll)o).*

$1 returns "Hello" and what I want is
"Heo", with the two l's removed
corresponding to the non-capturing group.

Is what I want doable?

Thanks

if u use

(?:(He)ll(o))

then group #1 will return *He*
and group #2 will return *o*

and u cannot really split the whole match *hello* [i.e.
group #0] ,
it'll be there anyway.
