Chapter 125
Hendrix gave Jennifer a number. “At 8:00 am tomorrow, go to Room 1613 and bring the occupant to the hospital.”
His request confused Jennifer, and she stared at him in confusion.
“Don’t let anyone know about this. Do you know the consequences you will face if this gets leaked?”
Hendrix’s expression remained unchanged, but the intensity in his eyes grew sharper.
Jennifer quickly realized she had misunderstood, and she nodded in response. “Understood.”
“Leave,” Hendrix said, not bothering to look at her again.
Jennifer quickly exited the room, and the surroundings returned to their usual quiet.
Hendrix didn’t think about the situation any further.
But that night, as he lay in bed, he suddenly had a dream.
He dreamt of… a child.
Hendrix didn’t have strong feelings toward children. He had always been indifferent to emotions. As a child, he didn’t rely on his parents, and his adult life was far from harmonious.
However, he didn’t completely reject the idea of having a child.
Perhaps because of deeply ingrained beliefs from his upbringing, he always thought he should have a child one day. Though, he couldn’t imagine what it would be like when he became a father.
In the dream, he didn’t get to feel this as well, as he only saw a small figure.
Hendrix seemed to have glanced at him before swiftly turning and running ahead. By the time he realized he should chase after him, the figure had already disappeared
Hendrix opened his eyes.
Daylight had broken.
The dream was so strange that he couldn’t help but furrow his brows. It was then that Jennifer called him.
“Mr. Freeman, Room 1613 is empty.”
Her words immediately caused a change in Hendrix’s expression. “What did you say?”
“I knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I also called the front desk, and they said she checked out and left last night.”
Hendrix’s lips tightened into a thin line, and he quickly got out of bed.
He didn’t wait for Jennifer to say anything. After he hung up, he asked someone to find out where Noelle was. Then, he called Brandon.
“Where is Noelle?” he asked.
Brandon was stunned, and then he laughed. “Good morning to you, too, Mr. Freeman. What do you mean?”
“I don’t have time for games,” said Hendrix. “Where is Noelle?”
“I don’t know.”

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...
