Chapter 176
The hospital at midnight carried an eerie and unsettling atmosphere.The glaring emergency light at the end of the corridor, glowing like fresh blood, tightened the knot in on’s chest.
To Noelle’s surprise, the person sitting outside the emergency room wasn’t just Dan but also Sandra. There seemed to be blood on her clothes, and her face was pale.
The moment she saw Hendrix, she rushed toward him. “Rix”
It was like she had found her relief, and tears rolled down her cheeks as she said, “I You’re finally here. What should we do? Madam Freeman seems to be badly injured. Do you think she…”
Hendrix glanced at her, then looked at Dan by his side.
“The accident is still under investigation, but according to the witnesses, there were no other cars at that time. Madam Freeman’s car suddenly lost control.” Dan sounded hesitant as he added, “Mr. Sanchez was also in the car. The doctor has announced that he has passed.”
Dan tried to be as indirect as possible, but Hendrix’s face turned even uglier.
Sandra stepped forward and said, “Rix, shouldn’t you address the media situation first? If this gets out, they’re bound to say some unpleasant things!”
“Like what?”
Hendrix turned to her, his tone calm but with an underlying edge, as though genuinely asking or perhaps issuing
a threat.
Sandra, seemingly oblivious to the tension, pressed on, “Madam Freeman and a stranger were in a car accident. The media will definitely run wild with speculation over something like this.”
She then suddenly turned her attention to Noelle. “And Noelle, as someone who knew about this, why didn’t you stop Madam Freeman?”
Noelle had been quietly standing by Hendrix’s side all this time, aware that words of comfort wouldn’t help in a situation like this. Her presence alone seemed more meaningful than anything she could say.
However, after hearing Sandra’s accusation, her composure faltered slightly as she was slightly stunned.
Before she could react, Sandra continued, “You knew Madan Freeman would leave tonight, right?”
Sandra’s words led to Hendrix deepening his frown as he turned to Noelle with a sharp gaze.
His gaze
e was so fierce that it scared Noelle.
“Isn’t that so?” Sandra continued. “I even saw you meeting with Madam Freeman at the café today. She gave you something, didn’t she?”
Sandra’s words felt like a heavy hammer striking directly at Noelle’s heart. Beside her, Hendrix was staring at her intently, waiting for her answer.
Noelle opened her mouth and finally said, “Yes…”
“Then, do you know?” Sandra’s voice suddenly grew agitated. “Madam Freeman wasn’t planning to leave. She was planning to die with Lloyd Sanchez!

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...
