Chapter 122
Noelle let out a sigh of relief after leaving the private room. She didn’t know where she could go, so she stood on the walkway in a daze.
After some time, the sound of a lighter lighting up could be heard from behind her. It was loud and clear.
Noelle turned around.
Perhaps due to just seeing him last night, Noelle wasn’t surprised to see Hendrix again now. She only clenched her fist a little.
Hendrix didn’t even look at her. He had one cigarette in one hand, and a phone in anothe
There were only two of them on the walkway. Even though they were strangers now, Noelle still felt a little out of place.
After hesitating for a couple of seconds, she decided to return to the private room. However, just as she turned around, another figure suddenly appeared in front of her, swaying unsteadily and about to collide with her.
Noelle’s first instinct was to smell the strong scent of alcohol on the person.
She hadn’t eaten much today. The lunchbox from the set had been too greasy, and the dish for dinner didn’t suit her taste.
Now, combined with the overpowering alcohol smell, Noelle felt as though something in her stomach was churning violently.
Just as they were about to crash into each other, Hendrix, who had been behind her, couldn’t hold back anymore. He reached out and pulled her to the side.
The man stumbled away.
Noelle quickly pushed Hendrix away.
She exerted quite some force, so Hendrix staggered backward a little. His face turned dark.
Before he could say anything, Noelle turned to the trash by the side and puked.
Her stomach wasn’t feeling good, and because she didn’t eat anything, she dry heaved for some time before puking some acidic liquid.
Hendrix just stood beside her. After staring for some time, he put out the cigarette, which Noelle did not notice.
After the dizziness faded, Noelle stood up and prepared to leave.
The next moment, Hendrix’s voice sounded, “I’ll send you to the hospital.
He sounded very calm, and he didn’t even say her name.
Noelle didn’t think he was speaking to her, so she took a step forward without hesitation.
But the next moment, Hendrix spoke again, “Are you pregnant?”
His words immediately froze Noelle In her steps. She abruptly turned around.
Hendrix was standing there, his face expressionless, but his deep eyes were fixed on her, as though he was trying to read every response she might have.
“What are you talking about?” Finally, Noelle found her voice. “How could I possibly..”

“One month ago, in the car. Did you eat Plan B after that?” Hendrix cut her off.
“We didn’t do it until the end, so how…”
“Have you never learned this in school? As long as intercourse is involved, there is a possibility of getting pregnant,” Hendrix sounded cold.
And from the pale expression on her face, Hendrix already knew the answer to his question–she hadn’t taken the pill.
He pursed his lips, then took a few steps forward and grabbed her hand.
At that moment, Noelle’s mind went blank. All she could think about were the “facts” Hendrix had just shared with her.
Did she not know about this? Of course, she did. It was just that she hadn’t expected it to happen.
Besides, her thoughts had been in such a chaotic state that night. How could she possibly remember to take the pill?

The readers' comments on the novel: The Sway and Slide of Love
Like how the story is progressing now but why is the author only releasing 3 chapters at a time? this is torture😩😩...
Woah chapters 41-45 is intense!! Good to see Noelle’s character who has come across as mostly detached actually express emotion....
I find Noelle’s character so frustrating, she comes across lacking any true emotion. The chapters where Rosie was missing was probably the most where we have seen some strong outward emotion shown. Dreading these next few chapters if she is going to do something drastic to “go find Seline” The author has taken us on a rollercoaster with these characters. The novel feels like it is at a stage now where they can come full circle....
A good change of pace and story in the last 10 chapters. Good to see the shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win over Noelle and Rosie. Hope we start to see them warm up to him. Please no crazy twist where he loses them again. Have enjoyed this story and looking forward to its wrap up👨👩👧...

I have been in love with this novel but I don’t know how much patience I have to wait until the to finish line. Dear Author, can you atleast give us some idea about how long is this going to be or if there’s any turning point coming soon. And it would be great if you could upload at least 10 chapters at once. 5 chapters is making me more impatience with the anticipation of the further story of novel🙈...
I really hope there is a turning point in this story where Noelle starts to show some interest in Hendrix...
