Chapter 501

But in the next moment, Hendrix turned away again.Seeing this, Noelle instinctively reached out and grabbed his hand. It was a gentle gesture, and she had even prepared herself for him to shake her off, but he didn't.He simply turned his head and looked down at her hand."I'm sorry," Noelle said again. "I shouldn't have thought of you that way last time. I was wrong, but Rosie is innocent. Can you please help her?"She carefully chose her tone, her voice dry and hoarse. If there had been any other choice, she wouldn't have wasted a single second here with him. But she truly had no other way.She also knew that Hendrix wanted to see her like this. He wanted her to beg him and humble herself before him.When she finished speaking, Hendrix was finally willing to look at her. Then, he gently gripped her chin, forcing her to look up at him.Their eyes met.Her eyes were slightly red, her lips trembling. Coupled with her face, which was noticeably thinner from the stress, she looke

Hendrix had held back. After all, back then, he was the one who had been abandoned. For the one who was left behind, chasing after Noelle to ask why felt like admitting defeat.So, since their reunion, Hendrix had never asked her this question. But now, he couldn't hold back any longer because he really wanted to know.Noelle's actions back then had seemed contradictory to him. She said she didn't want to suffer with him, yet she refused to take anything that belonged to him.At the time, he had given her so many things. Just taking one or two would have been enough to ensure her a comfortable life, but she had taken nothing.So, the reason she gave was just an excuse to deceive him. Then, why did she really leave?Hendrix stared at Noelle, desperate for an answer.Noelle stood there, her eyes meeting his for a moment before she softly said, "Because I was pregnant at the time.""What?""Had I not been pregnant then, I might have been able to stay with you. But I had a baby to

"Hating your own child and even wanting to watch her die?" Noelle shouted."Yes, I did say I'd try to be a good father, but it's obvious I can't do it." Hendrix's tone was calm and direct. He was plainly telling Noelle that he had gone back on his word. He simply couldn't do it.But, so what? The hospital required the consent form to be signed in person. The decision was in Hendrix's hands, and as long as he refused, no one could force him to sign it.Honestly speaking, Noelle had never anticipated such an outcome. In her mind, no matter how cruel Hendrix could be, she always believed there was still a shred of humanity in him. So surely, he wouldn't just stand by and watch his own child die, right? But reality proved her wrong. As it turned out, he truly could be that cold-blooded.Suddenly, Noelle found herself at a loss for words. Her mind was completely blank. Her lips trembled, but no sound came out.Finally, she said, "Hendrix Freeman, I will hate you for the rest of my li

Chapter 504

After Noelle finished speaking, Seline was visibly stunned. Clearly, her mind was struggling to process what Noelle had just said.After several seconds, she finally asked again, "What did you just say?""Hendrix said he doesn't want to go through with the surgery anymore," Noelle repeated in a hoarse voice.Seline immediately yanked off her headphones. "Has he lost his mind?"Her voice was sharp, loud enough to wake Rosie, who had been sleeping in the hospital bed.Rosie blinked sleepily at them. "Mommy…"Noelle quickly stepped forward and took Rosie's hand. "Did we wake you? I'm sorry."Rosie looked at her, then at Seline. The latter's face was still flushed with anger."Mommy, are you and Seline fighting?" Rosie asked."No, we're just discussing something. It's okay. Go back to sleep, Rosie," Noelle replied while gently stroking Rosie's cheek.Rosie wanted to say more, but Noelle quickly changed the subject. It took a while, but after some coaxing, Rosie eventually drifted

Noelle fell silent. What Seline knew, she knew, too. In fact, she understood it a hundred times more clearly than Seline did.But right now, her mind was completely blank. She knew Hendrix hated her. Whatever he wanted to do to her, Noelle didn't care. Yet, he chose to do nothing. And precisely because he did nothing, he had her completely at his mercy.Noelle knew he was doing this on purpose. Playing with people's emotions and manipulating everyone like puppets were things he excelled at and enjoyed.So, he also knew exactly what would hurt Noelle the most. This time, his strike was precise and devastating.Seline was still talking beside her, but Noelle could no longer hear her. She just stared blankly at Rosie lying in the bed.Rosie was still so young. Her warmth and vitality were still thrumming. But now, it felt like Noelle could only watch helplessly as Rosie slowly moved toward decline."Noelle? Noelle!" Seline called out to her, gripping her shoulder.But Noelle couldn

Chapter 506

Noelle ended up visiting Rosie first.Beatrice had planned to accompany her, but perhaps sensing Noelle's resistance—and realizing that it was her first time meeting Rosie—she felt it inappropriate to enter the room empty-handed after arriving in such a hurry.So, when she reached the doorway of the hospital room, she stopped and decided not to go inside.Through the slightly opened door, she could hear Rosie's soft, childlike voice. Unable to resist, she took a few glances inside. But all she saw was Rosie's back, her round little head, and a pair of fair arms.Beatrice could tell with just that one look how well-behaved Rosie was. Her gaze softened.Just then, Noelle came out of the room. She had wanted to remove her IV drip earlier, but Seline firmly refused to allow it. So, she still had the needle in her hand when she stepped out."What do you want to discuss with me?" Noelle asked after returning to her own hospital room."I just received this today," Beatrice replied, han

"I saw some news about you recently. You're unable to work for the time being, right?" Beatrice slowly said. "Although Ms. Swift is a loyal friend and her family has a solid background, at the end of the day, Rosie is still my granddaughter."So, I don't want to see her depending on someone else for her life. And I know you feel the same way. Besides, she'll need time to recuperate after the surgery. The medical resources in Coppersville are among the best in the country, so staying here is the most logical choice."As for my home, you've been there. It's quiet—just me and a few household staff. You can rest assured that Hendrix rarely goes there. So, why don't you think it over?"Beatrice's tone was calm and measured. It was clear she had prepared in advance. Every word was deliberate, laying out all the pros and cons for Noelle to consider.Noelle stared at her for a moment before asking, "Why?""What?""Why would you want us to move in with you?""I've already told you. It's

Chapter 508

Hendrix stood just outside the hospital room.He was dressed in black again today. He seemed thinner, and his features were more defined. And combined with his tall, commanding figure, he gave off an intense sense of oppression.But Noelle wasn't intimidated in the slightest. She simply stood calmly in front of him.Hendrix swept his gaze over her from head to toe, then asked, "When did you go see my mother?"Noelle didn't answer.His voice tightened. "Do you know how old she is this year?""I know.""And you're still going to let her go through with this surgery?"Noelle remained silent for a moment before slowly curling her lips into a faint smile. "Then, do you know how old Rosie is this year?"Hendrix frowned."She's two and a half years old. Or to be exact, she's 29 months and 7 days old," she said. "The doctor told me that now is the best time for her treatment. So, Mr. Freeman, what do you think I should do? Should I just stand by and watch her—"Noelle couldn't conti

"Even if I did forge it, it can't be proven just by your words. But as long as I show this evaluation to the doctors, the consent form my mother signed will become invalid immediately," Hendrix said.Noelle's expression immediately vanished. There was no anger, sadness, or even disbelief.She just stood there, quietly staring at him as though he were a stranger—someone entirely disconnected from her life."Why?" Noelle finally asked. "Hendrix, are you really going to let your daughter die?"At this moment, she couldn't care less about jinxing the situation. The only thing swirling in her mind now was an endless barrage of confusion.She was truly and utterly confused as to why Hendrix would do something like this. Even if he felt no love for Rosie, even if he hated Noelle for the choices she made in the past, this was still a life they were talking about. Rosie was his daughter. She should have called him "Daddy", yet here he was, forcing her into a dead end. Just… why?"It hu

Chapter 510

At that moment, Noelle suddenly thought of her mother—not the one who resented her for not undergoing the transplant surgery even on her deathbed, but the one who was still lying unconscious in the hospital.Noelle wondered if Cynthia had considered the consequences when she threw herself in front of Noelle to save her. Did she think about how that single action would leave her in a coma?But she knew, if given the chance to do it all over again, Cynthia would probably make the same choice.Just like Noelle now, who didn't care that she had to kneel and bow before Hendrix. Her dignity and life—none of these matter anymore to her. She only wanted one thing—for Rosie to live.Afterward, she couldn't recall what Hendrix had said before he left, but she did remember him tossing a piece of paper toward her on his way out.It was a consent form with his signature on it. Noelle had no idea when he had signed it, but that was of no importance.The moment she held that form in her hands,
