“See how considerate I am? So, can you be considerate of me, too? Stay still and don’t move. Got it? Otherwise, I’d feel awful if this knife accidentally cuts your stomach,” Jean threatened, pressing down the knife harder on Noelle’s cheek.
Noelle felt a sharp, spearing pain as the blade sliced across her skin. Blood immediately welled up and dripped down, each drop landing cold and stark against the surface below.
Noelle suddenly thought of Hendrix.
What was he doing now? Did he think she had stormed off in anger and was searching for her like a madman? Or had he picked up Olivia’s call and didn’t even notice Noelle was missing?
She didn’t dare to think about it. The more she thought, the more bitter she felt.
The pain became sharper, but she didn’t dare move. Because just like Jean said, Noelle was pregnant. Thus, she couldn’t risk upsetting Jean for fear of what she would do to her baby.
As the knife carved into Noelle’s skin, Jean’s eyes lit up with a bloodthirsty and maniacal glint. Then, she pressed even harder.
Noelle felt the knife skim dangerously close to the artery pulsing beneath her throat. Then, a loud commotion suddenly erupted outside.
Jean jerked up in shock, her hand trembling. Before she could turn around, someone slammed into her, pinning her to the ground.
The knife clattered to the floor.
Noelle’s eyes, which had been squeezed shut, snapped open.
At some point, a large number of police officers had arrived outside. They had brought lights with them, and the glare stung Noelle’s eyes.
Then, she saw a tall, lean figure.
Even though she had been upset with him tonight, the first name that came to her mind when she saw that silhouette was Hendrix.
But soon, she got a clear look at the person’s face.
The man who was usually gentle and refined now had a layer of sweat on his forehead, his chest rising and falling rapidly from urgency.
The person being restrained by the police beside him was his fiancée.
The moment Jean saw him, she immediately cried out. But Dylan didn’t spare her a single glance. Instead, he crouched down in front of Noelle.
When he saw the cut on her cheek, he visibly flinched. Then, without hesitation, he turned his head and shouted, ‘ Doctor! Doctor!”
As he spoke, he fumbled to untie the ropes binding her.
“I’m sorry for coming late. I’m so sorry. Don’t worry. You’re safe now. As long as I’m here, nothing’s going to happen to you,” Dylan kept reassuring her.
But to be honest, Noelle felt nothing. If she had been afraid earlier when Jean pressed the knife against her skin,

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👨👩👧...
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...
