All Chapters of The Sway and Slide of Love: Chapter 711 - Chapter 720

Hendrix frowned at the sound. When he looked up, the man casually removed the baseball cap from his head.Everyone in the room was stunned. Because the man's features were almost identical to Hendrix's.But years of exposure to the elements and life's hardships had left his skin rough and tanned, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.While everyone else was staring at Nathan's face, Hendrix's gaze slowly drifted downward to his feet. As if knowing what Hendrix was thinking, Nathan smiled and pulled up his pant legs. There, attached to his knees, were prosthetic legs.Realization finally dawned on Hendrix. "So, you're not dead, after all," he said softly.Nathan continued to smile. "Yeah, I'm not dead. Are you disappointed?"Hendrix didn't respond. Instead, he glanced at the man still pinned under his foot. "Is he the one you've been working with? Probably not, right? You don't seem to recognize him, either."Then, he turned his attention back to Nathan. "And you should still be abroa

The fire spread quickly.The houses in this area were all connected, so when one caught fire, the neighboring ones were soon engulfed as well. The surrounding residents had already been evacuated, but from the house at the heart of the fire, no one had yet emerged.Noelle knew Hendrix was inside. For some reason, memories of the past few days flashed through her mind. The last time they had seen each other was when they were on their way to the equestrian club.Hendrix had tried hard to lighten the mood, but she had cut him off. Because at that time, she had still been angry with him, so she hadn't wanted to hear him speak. He wasn't someone who liked to talk much in the first place. But at that moment, she had told him to be quiet.Later, in the video call, he had invited her to join him in Tilwick. She had understood his hint and clearly seen the hope in his eyes, but she had still refused him. She hadn't even said a single kind word to him.And now? Even if she wanted to say so

Noelle paused for a moment. It took her a few seconds to process what was happening, and then she started pushing him away. "What are you doing here? Go back to your bed! Where's your IV? Are you crazy? You're still injured!"Her voice was filled with urgency.Hendrix looked at her and smiled softly. Then, he reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks.Noelle pressed her lips together and gently pushed him again. "Go back now! Where's the nurse?"As she spoke, she reached for the call button. But Hendrix grabbed her hand instead. In one swift motion, he pulled her back into his arms."What's the hurry?" he said. "It's not like I'm going to die if I don't have the IV drip for a few minutes. Besides, don't you know you're actually in worse shape than I am?"Then, he frowned and continued in a low voice, "Right when everyone else was evacuating, you just charged toward the fire without a second thought. Even the firefighters had gas masks on. Were you trying to get yourself kil

The doctor quickly arrived to examine Noelle. Luckily, she hadn't made it into the burning building, so she hadn't inhaled too much smoke.After listening to the doctor's update, Hendrix finally let out a breath of relief and was willing to return to his own hospital bed.But Dan soon brought him another piece of news—Nathan didn't make it.When Hendrix dragged him out, Nathan was barely breathing. Yet, even in that state, he had mustered the last of his strength to stab Hendrix in the abdomen. Which only proved just how much he hated Hendrix.But no matter how deep that hatred ran, it didn't matter anymore. In the end, he was foolish enough to throw away his own life, just to be a pawn in someone else's game. And now that he was dead, whatever deal he had with Dylan died with him—no one else knew the details.Hendrix had risked everything to drag him out for nothing.Tony and the others, however, readily admitted to detaining Hendrix. But they insisted they were only following N

When Noelle and Hendrix were discharged from the hospital and getting ready to leave Tilwick, the police asked Hendrix if he wanted to take Nathan's ashes with him.Technically, given that Nathan was the ringleader in this case and Hendrix was the victim, it wasn't exactly an appropriate question. But at the same time, Hendrix was also Nathan's older brother. And in a way, his only family in this world. So, it made sense for the police to ask.When Hendrix heard the question, his expression didn't change, nor did he hesitate. He simply replied, "No, thanks. If you don't know what to do with them, scatter them into the sea. Or a sewer—either works."With that, he hung up.Though he was the one on the call, Noelle was sitting right beside him, so she had heard every word. She couldn't see the police officer's expression or reaction over the phone, but she imagined he must have been shocked.After all, from an outsider's perspective, Hendrix had risked his life running back into the
