Chapter 182
Of course, Hendrix knew who they were referring to. This was the first time he asked the security guards of the hospital to kick these people out.
The two elderly, despite their frail appearance, shouted with full force as they were dragged out, claiming they would go to the press and make sure everyone knew that Lloyd was killed by the Freeman family.
At that moment, Hendrix coldly responded, “Go ahead.”
His fearless attitude sent a chill down their spine, but he didn’t look at them again.
After a while, Dan arrived and told him that his items from Serene Street had been moved to Percy Gardens,
Hendrix only responded with a hum.
Dan hesitated for a moment before saying, “I saw Mrs…. Ms. Swanson didn’t look good. She might be sick.”
Hendrix didn’t reply.
“Mr. Freeman, actually Ms. Swanson isn’t at fault in this matter. Are you sure you want to take it out on her…”
Dan hadn’t finished speaking when Hendrix suddenly glanced at him.
Although Hendrix didn’t say a word, that one glance was enough to make Dan’s heart skip a beat. He swallowed back the words he had intended to say. Finally, with a quiet sigh in his heart, he decided to say nothing more.
Noelle had indeed fallen ill. After all, she had been sitting in the cold wind for hours, and it was only natural for her to catch a cold and fever.
She had some medicine prepared on her side, but just before taking the medicine, she seemed to recall something and slowly placed the box back. Instead, she poured herself a glass of warm water to drink.
It was good that her condition wasn’t that bad. After recovering at home for a few days, she got better.
But her cough seemed to never subside. Especially at night, when she already struggled to fall asleep, the continuous coughing almost pushed her to the brink of emotional collapse, but she never cried.
Since childhood, she had grown accustomed to the fact that she would continually lose things. Her mindset had shifted from questioning things to accepting her fate.
In truth, she had never really believed in Hendrix’s feelings for her. Even at the height of their most “passionate” moments, she still couldn’t convince herself that he truly loved her.
She simply didn’t know how to refuse. She knew it was like swallowing a piece of candy laced with poison, yet she chose to swallow it anyway–all just for the fleeting, false sweetness.
And now, she thought that it was no wonder that she felt so broken inside.
In January, Noelle received a message from the airline. It said that the flight she had booked a month ago to Dynalis had been rescheduled and would depart in two days at midnight.
She stared at the message, somewhat confused.
After a while, she remembered that Hendrix had told her that he would take her to Dynalis for a vacation.

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.

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...
