Noelle still didn't like Dynalis. Even though there were countless tourists visiting every year, and the scenery here was indeed beautiful, she still didn't like it.At this very moment, she just wanted to hurry back to Coppersville—back to that small rental apartment that only belonged to her.But as soon as the plane landed, the Swanson family came to her.Well, Matilda was in critical condition. Although Craig had been working hard to find a compatible kidney for her transplant, there had still been no success up to today.Moreover, Noelle was her biological daughter, and from a medical standpoint, she was the best candidate for the transplant.Noelle was almost forcibly pushed into the car.After seeing Craig, she scoffed coldly. "What? You guys are forcing me into an operation now?"Craig looked at her, then gestured for the others to leave.Then, he looked at Noelle. "What do you want?"Noelle looked into his eyes and said, "I told your wife clearly before. If you give m

After Craig listened to Sandra's words, his expression changed instantly, and his eyes widened as he looked at Sandra, seemingly unable to believe that such a cruel idea could come from her mouth.Sandra realized this and hurriedly said, "I… I just want Mom to live. You saw for yourself how much she's been tormented by the illness. I really can't bear to see her like this."Craig didn't say anything.Although he, too, resented Noelle for not saving her and had cursed countless times wishing for her death, Sandra's words still shocked him deeply.Sandra didn't say anything more and just looked up anxiously at him.Just then, the nurse's urgent voice came through, "Why is everyone here? Hurry! The patient's condition isn't looking good!"Craig's face instantly changed, and he rushed out.Matilda had already been pushed into the emergency room, and when Craig arrived, all he received was the doctor's notice of her critical condition.Craig could only sign the document with trembli

Noelle seemed to be followed by someone.Her job was to stay at home and paint, so she didn't have many opportunities to go out, but once or twice a week, she would go out to buy some groceries.Normally, her outings were at random times, so it wasn't likely anyone would be following her.And because of that, whenever she turned around, she didn't notice anything unusual, so she didn't really pay attention to it.Until one day, when she was heading to the supermarket, a motorcycle suddenly sped toward her.The motorcycle had a clear intention, and it was heading straight for her. Noelle was startled and took several steps back, just as someone else happened to be walking by.The motorcycle zipped past her and drove off into the distance.The howling wind seemed to still echo in Noelle's ears, and her whole body froze as she was too scared to move.What stood out most to her was the look in the man's eyes when he had glanced at her. It was as if he was going to tear her life apa

Before he could finish speaking, Noelle suddenly kicked his crotch.She was hard with that kick. Besides, that was every man's most vulnerable spot. William quickly let her go, and he started cursing, "Fuck! How dare you fucking attack me? I'll fucking kill you!"With that, he jumped her again. This time, he left no mercy as he straightaway tried to strangle Noelle."Bitch! You fucking ingrate! I'll kill you today!"He was still berating while applying more force on his hand, which hindered Noelle's breathing. Soon, her face turned red, and she started to scratch William's arms as an attempt to break free. However, she could only injure him at most."I know you've always been ashamed of me, thinking I'm not as capable as your biological father, right? But how good can your rich father be to you? He won't even acknowledge you, and now, he even wants you to die and give his wife your life!"William's words made Noelle's already fading consciousness suddenly snap back into clarity.

"I'm your father! Let go of me quickly! I'm going to the hospital! I'm going to die!" William bellowed. He still wanted to struggle, but Noelle stabbed the scissors deeper into his neck."You are lying. I don't believe it.""It's true! I didn't lie to you, Luna! They originally wanted me to tie you up and orchestrate a car accident for you," William told her the plan."They said that you were unwilling to perform a transplant on your mother, but you signed the body donation form, so as long as you died unexpectedly, she would get a transplant opportunity!"I was a little selfish. I just thought that you were going to die anyway, so I could at least get my pleasure…"Before William could finish speaking, Noelle suddenly stepped on the wound on his abdomen. Blood quickly gushed out from the wound, and the bone-chilling pain made William scream endlessly.What scared him the most was how Noelle was staring at him. Her hands were shaking due to fear, yet the coldness in her eyes wa

Noelle slowly rose to her feet. However, she didn't rush to leave. Instead, her gaze lingered on the wound on William's abdomen before slowly drifting downward.William sensed that something was wrong. But before he could do anything, Noelle suddenly lifted her foot and stomped down hard on his family jewel."It's best if this thing rots away!" said Noelle vehemently.That was the last thing William heard before the searing pain overtook him, plunging him into unconsciousness.Noelle didn't spare him another glance. When she stepped out, she collided head-on with someone."What the hell, you—" scolded Helen Myrtle, the woman next door.She had been spying on Noelle for a month and had noticed that Noelle's "boyfriend" hadn't shown up during that time. Naturally, she felt no fear toward Noelle—who had clearly been dumped.Just as Helen was about to lash out at Noelle, she noticed the bloodstains on Noelle's clothes, her disheveled hair, and the hollow look in her eyes."Holy shi

Hendrix could hardly believe it when he first heard Dan say that Noelle had been arrested. In fact, he even thought it was absurd.In his memory, Noelle had always been far more rational than most people. Moreover, the very idea of her being involved in a stabbing incident seemed utterly ridiculous.But there was no denying it when he got into the car and read the detailed news article on his tablet. As soon as he saw the victim's name, William Kaplan, he no longer felt the slightest bit surprised at Noelle's surprise.The police had learned from the surveillance footage that it was William who had followed Noelle, and he was carrying another weapon that the authorities had found on the scene.Later, they discovered signs of strangulation on Noelle's neck. When she turned herself in, both her clothes and hair were a mess. All the evidence pointed to her acting in self-defense.Even so, with William now unconscious from excessive blood loss, a part of the responsibility still reste

However, before Sandra's lips could even touch Hendrix's, the latter shoved her away. He used so much force that she stumbled back several steps before finally steadying herself.She looked up at him. "Rix…""It seems you really have a poor memory." Hendrix gazed at her coldly. "I'll give you one more chance. Are you going to tell me or not?"Sandra sat down on the floor and looked up at him without a trace of fear in her eyes.Hendrix suddenly laughed. "Fine. Have it your way."With that, he turned to leave.As soon as his back was turned to her, Sandra suddenly said, "It was my father who planned all of it."Her words made Hendrix stop in his tracks. Slowly, he turned around.Sandra looked at him with red-rimmed eyes. "He did it because my mother's condition is really bad, but Noelle refused to go through with the kidney donation. So, my father had no choice but to do it."Hendrix didn't reply, but his expression darkened instantly. He couldn't help but clench his hands into

"Mr. Freeman, it's time to change your dressi—" The doctor's voice suddenly broke the silence.The unexpected interruption sent a jolt through Noelle. It was as if she had suddenly snapped back to reality. In a flurry, she pushed Hendrix away.She looked as though she had been caught doing something wrong. She stumbled backward several steps, her hands rising and falling repeatedly. Her lips quivered as if she wanted to speak but couldn't find the words. Panic filled her eyes, unmistakable and clear.The doctor, however, was tactful. "My apologies. I didn't mean to interrupt," he said quickly before excusing himself and leaving.Noelle's face turned an even deeper shade of red at this. She wanted to chase after the doctor, but Hendrix grabbed her hand again."Let go of me," Noelle said when she finally managed to find her voice.She had intended to reprimand him. But after the kiss and the nervous tension, her voice came out slightly hoarse, sounding almost alluring. Even Noelle

Noelle hadn't expected Hendrix to bring this up, so she was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at him with confusion."I wanted to use the bathroom," he answered with a cheeky grin."Oh." Even though Noelle felt flustered, she still quickly stepped aside.Hendrix, however, remained seated. Noelle looked at him, puzzled.He chuckled and said, "My arm is injured. I can't even feed myself—do you think I can go to the bathroom on my own?"Noelle's expression changed instantly. "W-What do you mean?"Hendrix reached out and took her hand. "Help me," he said in a low and raspy voice.Noelle immediately shook her head. "No way!"As she spoke, she tried to pull her hand away.But even with only one good hand, Hendrix's grip was still strong.Not only did he not let go, but he slid his fingers through Noelle's and pressed his palm firmly against hers. The dry, burning warmth of his hand made Noelle's cheeks flush instantly. It was as if, at this moment, she wasn't holding his hand

Inside the bag was a thermos of soup she had made that morning. It was made with chicken and mushrooms she had bought early at the market. She had simmered them for half an hour, and as soon as she opened the lid, the rich aroma of the soup spread throughout the hospital room.Hendrix suddenly remembered the bowl of soup Noelle had given him late that night two days ago. Good food was never something he lacked. In fact, to him, food was just a necessity for survival. But that night, something about that simple bowl of soup had brought him to the brink of tears.He had found her. There had been a time when he truly believed she had vanished from this world. He thought he would never see her again. It was also in that moment that he fully understood what Noelle meant to him.After all, he had seen the light, so how could he ever return to the darkness? His life had been set on a certain path. Even Beatrice had never cooked him a bowl of soup before, and he had accepted that kind of li

The moment Noelle saw her reflection in Hendrix's eyes, and when he stood under the streetlight and smiled at her, those feelings of resistance and fear vanished instantly.At the time, Noelle felt as if she had known him for a long time. Even under the dim light, she could vividly trace the contours of his face in her mind. It was as if she had done this countless times before.Even though her memories of the past remained a blank, just seeing him made her heart race. The feeling was unfamiliar, yet she knew exactly what it was and what it meant.She liked him, and it felt like she had liked him for a long time.…That night, Hendrix had to stay in the hospital. His whereabouts were supposed to be confidential, but the local authorities were already aware of his presence. After receiving Jerry's report, Austin Warren immediately came to visit with his team.Of course, Hendrix didn't tell them the truth about how he got injured. Instead, he simply claimed he had tripped and falle

Noelle wasn't quick enough to stop Irene this time.When Irene swung down her hoe, Hendrix instinctively raised his arm to block it. As a result, the wound he had just had re-bandaged at the hospital that day split open again. There was even a faint cracking sound, as if a bone had been fractured.Even for someone as tough as Hendrix, the intense pain was enough to make him frown, and cold sweat quickly beaded on his forehead."Mom!" Noelle rushed forward and grabbed Irene's arm.But was still in the heat of anger. She pushed Noelle aside and was about to strike again when Jerry, who had received an emergency call, arrived on the scene.Jerry felt his vision darken for a moment when he saw Hendrix's injury. Then, without hesitation, he and his team restrained Irene."What are you doing? You bunch of ass-kissers! Let me go!" Irene struggled fiercely, her curses never stopping.Jerry was at a loss. He was about to have her taken to the police station when Hendrix grabbed his arm.

"I haven't eaten yet. Will you grab a bite with me?" Hendrix asked Noelle.Noelle was stunned. But before she could react, Hendrix had already taken her hand and started leading her forward.Jerry had wanted to say something to Hendrix, but all he got was a distant wave as Hendrix took Noelle straight to the car.This was the car Hendrix had someone bring over yesterday. The once gleaming paint was now covered in splatters of mud after driving through the village's dirt roads. But he didn't mind.It wasn't until they had driven for a while that Noelle finally snapped out of her daze. "My mom will find out!""Don't worry. If she gets mad at you, I'll explain it to her.""She'll definitely hit you."Hendrix, holding the steering wheel, glanced at her. "What? Are you worried about me?""Of course not!" Noelle replied immediately. Then, she turned to look out the window.Hendrix watched her for a moment before reaching over and taking her hand."What are—" Noelle's eyes widened.

Irene owned a plot of land in the village. She used to grow corn on it, but in the past two years, a contractor from the neighboring village had come by, so she switched to growing strawberries instead.It was now the season for planting seedlings. After the morning's commotion, Noelle had convinced Irene to rest at home and took over the planting work herself.The task wasn't particularly strenuous, but bending over for long periods was exhausting. Noelle squatted down, but after a while, she started feeling dizzy. She closed her eyes, preparing to take a short break, when somebody suddenly yanked her up.Hendrix frowned at her and asked, "What are you doing?"Noelle was startled for a moment, then clumsily pushed his hand away. Only after taking several steps back to put a safe distance between them did she finally ask, "What are you doing here?"Hendrix's frown deepened at her reaction. "Are you afraid of me?""No," Noelle quickly denied it. Her flustered expression made it se

Hendrix wasn't a particularly delicate person, but even he found the environment hard to endure. Not long after, he was woken up by a commotion outside. He opened his eyes and pushed himself up, just in time to see what was happening outside the window.Irene was chasing someone off with a broom. Despite her age, she still had the energy to scold while giving chase, her voice so loud and full of vigor that it startled everyone inside and out. And then, she turned around and scolded the onlookers as well.Noelle followed closely behind her, sheltered under her protection. Her eyes were curious as she glanced around, but she didn't dare stray more than half a step from Irene.Just as Hendrix was watching, Noelle noticed him, too. She seemed to freeze for a moment, then quickly looked away and tugged at Irene's hand.After a bit more commotion, Irene finally pulled her inside and shut the door with a loud bang.Once inside, Irene turned to Noelle and said, "Don't worry, Nelly. Sid's
The Sway and Slide of Love Chapter 754
Noelle immediately turned around with panic written all over her face.Irene narrowed her eyes. "What were you doing outside so late in the night?""I-I thought I heard a cat meowing, so I went to check.""A cat?" Irene frowned. "What's so strange about a few cats in the village?"Noelle fell silent.Irene didn't press further, simply telling her to go to bed early before turning and heading back to her own room.Noelle followed behind her. The window in her room faced the house across the street—the one with the lit window, where Hendrix was staying.The broken glass in the window had been repaired earlier that day. The warm yellow light shining through matched the glow in her room. Noelle stared at it for a while before finally lying down to sleep.The night passed quickly.Irene didn't need much sleep. Before dawn even broke, she had already taken her hoe and headed out to work in the field.After making her bed, Noelle started preparing breakfast. Just as she was beating
