All Chapters of The Sway and Slide of Love: Chapter 491 - Chapter 500

Noelle didn't explain much to Rosie at that moment. Instead, she went along with whatever her daughter said to soothe her.Sure enough, Rosie quickly brightened up again. She began excitedly sharing her plans of what she was going to do after getting out of the hospital.Noelle sat quietly beside her, listening attentively.When the nurse came in with medication, Rosie didn't complain. She dutifully took her medicine, though the side effects made her uncomfortable. She simply lay in the bed, clinging tightly to Noelle's hand.Noelle patted her gently on the shoulder while softly singing a lullaby. Her position was awkward, but she didn't dare move, as Rosie had been feeling insecure lately. She often became upset if she woke up and didn't see Noelle or if she had trouble sleeping.So, Noelle stayed still. It wasn't until Rosie was sound asleep did she slowly withdraw her hand.The caregiver, who had been sitting quietly nearby, approached cautiously after Rosie fell asleep. "Ms.

It was at this moment that Hendrix seemed to finally understand why Noelle hadn't reacted with anger earlier but had instead apologized to him."Are you afraid I won't go through with the surgery?" he asked, his eyes fixed on her.Noelle didn't respond, but it was clear her silence said it all.Hendrix's expression darkened further. He pressed his lips together, his teeth clenched so tightly that it felt like they might shatter.What kind of person did she think he was? Someone who would stand by and watch his own kid die? Was that why she felt the need to placate and accommodate him like this? In her eyes, was he really that cold and heartless?Hendrix stared at her for a moment, then suddenly clenched his jaw. He didn't say another word, simply turning and walking away.But he walked slowly. Each step seemed to take an enormous effort. This drawn-out pace was his way of waiting—waiting for Noelle to call out to him and say something.Even if it was a flimsy lie. As long as she

This floor was clearly reserved for presidential suites, and at that moment, the hallway was eerily quiet.After pressing the doorbell, Noelle looked down at her feet. She had been at the hospital for so long that her white sneakers were now stained with dirt.They were a stark contrast to the luxurious brown carpet beneath her, making her feel like she didn't belong here at all. This place was no longer her world.Noelle wasn't sure how long she waited. It might have been just a few seconds, or it might have been ten minutes. All she knew was, standing there, time seemed to stretch endlessly.It wasn't until her hands and feet began to feel stiff that the door finally opened. But the moment she saw the person inside, the urge to turn and leave grew stronger.Her hands clenched at her sides, and her eyes widened as she stared at him.Hendrix had just stepped out of the shower. He had nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist, his hair still wet, with water droplets dripping fr

Noelle knew that Hendrix had never lacked admirers. She had seen plenty of them before. Even just recently, hadn't he gone grocery shopping with another woman?So, as long as Hendrix wanted, there were countless women eager to throw themselves at him. He had endless choices, and she would never be the "right" one. She wasn't before, and she certainly wasn't now.At this moment, Noelle could clearly sense Hendrix's stiffness and the way his gaze lingered on her scar. She suddenly felt like laughing."So, are you sure you want to continue?" she asked with a smirk.When she finished speaking, Hendrix finally raised his head and looked at her. His eyes were still as deep as ever, betraying no hint of emotion.Noelle was about to say something else, but before she could, he lowered his head. Then, his lips landed softly on her scar.The gentle touch made Noelle's expression change instantly. She struggled, trying to get up. But Hendrix quickly pinned her down."You—" She tried to say

"He's doing this just because he's unwilling to let go," Noelle interrupted Seline. "He felt defeated and disappointed because of me, and now, he just wants to make me feel the same way.""But I think—""If he really still loved me, he should know that no matter what, he shouldn't use Rosie as leverage against me," Noelle said. "The only reason I'm doing what he says now is to give Rosie a chance at the surgery."Our relationship isn't one of meaningful connection. So Seline, it's really impossible between me and him."…Night fell quickly once again.To be honest, Noelle was a little afraid of this time of day. She kept looking at her phone, afraid that Hendrix might send her a message but also fearing he wouldn't send anything at all. After all, he still hadn't signed the surgery consent form. But nothing happened that night.The next day, Noelle finally found out why Hendrix hadn't contacted her the day before.There was a news feature of him attending a banquet. In the p
