Chapter 461

Seline quickly pressed down on Noelle's hand. "You shouldn't blame yourself. Everything you're doing right now is for her future. How about this? Since I'm free, I'll take Rosie back to Coppersville to stay with my parents once she has recovered."They've been missing her all this while, and I'm sure she misses them just as much. So, you don't have to worry about it being a trouble for them."Noelle didn't respond.Seline knew she might not take her up on her offer, but she didn't press on, nor did she force Noelle to give her an answer right away.Instead, she said, "Let's go with this for now. You're tired, so why don't you head back for a rest first? I'll stay here with Rosie tonight.""No, it's okay. You go back. I'll stay.""But—""Do you really think I'll be able to fall asleep if I go back now?"Seline couldn't refute Noelle's question, so in the end, she could only nod in agreement.After watching Seline leave, Noelle slowly sat down by Rosie's bed.Rosie just had her

Chapter 462

In the two years and four mouths, Noelle had imagined countless times what it would be like to meet Hendrix again.But each time she thought about it, she would instinctively deny it.Because she knew the world was vast, and they now lived in completely different social circles.His life was filled with luxury, while she was just an ordinary person trying to get by.Their paths were completely separate, with no reason to cross again.But now, his sudden appearance shattered that belief."Mommy, do you know that man?" Rosie, who was still in Noelle's arms, asked when she noticed her staring at Hendrix.At the sound of her voice, Noelle snapped out of her daze."No, I don't," she replied quickly.Hendrix had already subconsciously walked toward her, but he abruptly froze in his place when he heard Noelle say that.His heart, which had been tightening, seemed to slowly sink at that moment. Even the boiling blood in his veins cooled in that instant.He simply stood there, lips p

This was also the first time Hendrix had seen his daughter, Rosie, not from a blurry photo or from a tricky angle.Rosie stared back at him with wide eyes, full of appraisal and curiosity.But before Hendrix could look at her a little longer, someone next to him cautiously called out to him.Immediately after, Rosie and Noelle disappeared into the crowd around them, so Hendrix was unable to catch a glimpse of them anymore.After a while, he turned his head and asked, "Yes? What is it?"His emotions switched quickly, though his voice still carried a hint of tension.That night, he unsurprisingly suffered from insomnia again. It wasn't until dawn that he reluctantly got up to take some sleeping pills.After that, he managed to fall asleep, but it was a restless one. He even had a dream.Hendrix vaguely remembered having a similar dream before. It was a warm and happy scene where Noelle and a little girl were playing together. Then, a strange man approached them.Hendrix's eyes s

Chapter 464

As the year's major production, the adaptation naturally had its set tightly secured during filming. However, sometimes, it was impossible to avoid people sneaking photos.As soon as Hendrix got out of the car, he noticed a woman crouching by the blue canopy with her camera trained on the people inside, snapping pictures.He frowned.Initially, he had intended to walk straight into the set.Though the entertainment industry wasn't Amity Group's primary focus for development, he himself had invested in various film and television projects over the years. Thus, given his status, no one would dare to stop him from going into the set.Yet, Hendrix halted abruptly in his tracks because he suddenly realized something—he didn't actually have the authority to enter.When someone eventually asked him what he was doing here, he couldn't simply say he was bored and came over to take a look, could he? So, he remained rooted to the spot.Soon after, he noticed that the woman taking the unaut

The woman immediately caught on to what Hendrix was saying. "I see. You're that bitch's friend, aren't you?"Hendrix was still on the phone with his lawyer, but he immediately fell silent when he heard what she said.He turned to look at her.The woman chuckled coldly before saying, "Wait, no. I should say you're her backup, right? She's really something, alright. Managing to string along so many men at once. "I knew it! All that talk about her being some sort of talented female comic artist is all just a hype! I bet she's got plenty of men like you propping her up in secret, doesn't she?"As she spoke, she glanced up and down at Hendrix.She came somewhat from a well-off family, and over the years, her experience as a dedicated fan had naturally exposed her to plenty of high-end items. So, with just one glance, she could tell the clothes and watch on Hendrix were worth a fortune.That only reinforced her earlier assumption."You must be Noelle's sugar daddy, right? Do you kno

Chapter 466

"Ms. Swanson, bad news!"The call came in while Noelle was packing up her things at the hotel. The script had been mostly revised, and Noelle was preparing to go home with Rosie.Although they had only stayed at the hotel for two months, they had accumulated quite a lot of stuff. Noelle was even planning to hire a moving truck to help transport everything.Thus, Noelle was a little confused when she received the call. "What happened?""Didn't you see the news?""What news?""Do you know a woman called Summer Vega?"Noelle was still as confused as ever.The person on the other end didn't give her any more time and went straight to the point."Check the news right away! She said she used to be under the same company as you. According to her, 'Morning Mist' was originally her work, but the editor passed her outline to you to promote you before terminating her contract. "This news has already blown up, so hurry and check it online!" the caller spoke quickly, barely giving Noelle

After speaking, the caller hung up.Noelle gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.Rosie sat quietly beside her, still waiting for Noelle to notice her."I—" Noelle took a deep breath before finding her voice. "Rosie, we can't leave for now.""Why? Won't we go home anymore?" Rosie's face fell, clearly upset. "But Mommy, you promised me we'd go home today. I want to go back and play with Gabby.""I'm sorry, Rosie. This is all Mommy's fault." Noelle stroked Rosie's hair. "Something came up, so we need to stay here for a few more days, okay? I promise that as soon as it's resolved, we'll go home right away."Rosie quieted down.Noelle could see her disappointment, but she didn't have the luxury to comfort her further.Her phone rang again, and this time, it was from the film company, which also happened to be Ebony's agency.Someone had leaked photos of Noelle and Ebony on set, claiming that they were always like this—flirting under the guise of discussing the scri

Chapter 468

Noelle returned to her apartment in the early hours of the morning.Rosie was already asleep, slumped over her shoulder. She must have been exhausted, as her breathing was heavy.With one hand supporting Rosie, Noelle struggled to open the door with the other.Once inside, she didn't have time to do anything else except carefully lay Rosie down on the bed.After tucking her in and closing the bedroom door, Noelle finally made her way back to the living room.The floor lamp beside her was still on, and across from it stood the bookshelf she hadn't had time to tidy up before leaving. Inside were countless hand-drawn sketches, even some storyboard ideas she had come up with herself.But now, they all seemed to mock her.Noelle knew all too well that in this industry, authors like her were often put on a pedestal, but in reality, they were at the bottom of the food chain.Marketing was handled by the company, and even negotiations with collaborators were done by them. All she could

Noelle hated hospitals. The place always reeked of disinfectant, and everywhere she looked, she saw faces filled with sorrow and despair.The nurse had just left.Rosie's veins were still very thin, and it had taken several attempts before the nurse finally succeeded in inserting the IV.At first, Rosie endured the pain in silence. But eventually, she couldn't hold back her tears and told Noelle how much it hurt.Noelle didn't say anything, only tightly held Rosie's other hand.Now that the IV was finally in place, Rosie sniffled and closed her eyes."Go to sleep," Noelle whispered softly while gently stroking her hair. "Mommy's here."Rosie hummed faintly, but after a moment, she opened her eyes again.Noelle quickly forced a smile. "What's the matter?""Mommy, you won't cry, right?" she asked.The question stumped Noelle.Rosie explained, "It hurt a little earlier, but I'm feeling better now. So, don't be sad, okay?"Noelle had been maintaining a smile all this time, but

Chapter 470

Rosie's transfer procedures were quickly completed.When the plane landed in Coppersville, Noelle felt a wave of disorientation. After all, when she had left this city, she had thought she would never return.Now, as she looked at the city again, it seemed as if nothing had changed. It was still as bustling as ever, with towering skyscrapers and people rushing along the streets.For Noelle, this was a city filled with painful memories, a place she had ultimately chosen to escape from.But for Rosie, it was a hometown she had never set foot in before. She was in good spirits today, leaning against the car window and curiously observing everything outside.The driver was from the Swift family, and Seline sat in the passenger seat.After glancing ahead, she turned to Noelle and asked, "So… did you call Hendrix?"Earlier, Noelle hadn't outright rejected Seline's suggestion, only softly saying she would notify Hendrix. But it was clear she hadn't found the resolve to do that. So, the
