The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 159
Chapter 159
‘If I had known what you would go through, I would’ve kept you by my side, never letting you stray even a step away from me. But Noelle, as hard as those years were for you, they weren’t any easier for me.
“You once nearly became a mother yourself. Surely, you can understand the love a mother has for her child, can’t you?”
Tears streamed down Matilda’s face.
Noelle stared at her for a long moment. “Just say it. What is it that you want from me?”
Her voice was unnervingly calm. It was clear she refused to pay along with Matilda’s charade.
Matilda looked up at her in disbelief. “H–How could you speak to your own mother like that?”
“Did I guess wrong?” Noelle smiled faintly. “If this isn’t about anything, that’s even better. I’ll be on my way,
“then.”
Seeing Noelle actually stand to leave, Matilda couldn’t hold back any longer. “Wait!”
It was exactly as Noelle had expected. She didn’t respond right away. Instead, she turned and looked at Matilda with mockery in her eyes.
Matilda hesitated, seemingly well aware of how difficult het request was to voice. After a brief pause, she finally asked, “Do you know what illness I have?”
“No.”
“I have acute kidney failure,” Matilda said softly. “The doctor told me it’s serious, and the only hope for a cure is a kidney transplant.”
The moment Noelle heard those words, her expression instantly went blank. She had never truly believed that a person’s mindset could completely change in just a matter of days. Even so, it would be a lie to say she wasn’t stirred by Matilda’s words.
For a brief moment, she actually believed that she might finally receive the understanding she had longed for from her biological mother. But now, it was clear–she had been completely wrong.
That whole heart–to–heart conversation? It had all been a setup, a ploy to get her to help with the matching
process.

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👨👩👧...
A good change of pace in the last 10 chapters. Also nice to see a shift in Hendrix’s character (more patience) to win Noelle and Rosie over. Hoping in these next few chapters we start to see Noelle and Rosie 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...
