Chapter 469
Chapter 469
Noelle hated hospitals. The place always reeked of disinfectant, and everywhere she looked, she saw faces filled with sorrow and despair.
The nurse had just left.
Rosie’s veins were still very thin, and it had taken several attempts before the nurse finally succeeded in inserting
the IV.
At first, Rosie endured the pain in silence. But eventually, she couldn’t hold back her tears and told Noelle how much it hurt.
Noelle didn’t say anything, only tightly held Rosie’s other hand.
Now that the IV was finally in place, Rosie sniffled and closed her eyes.
“Go to sleep,” Noelle whispered softly while gently stroking her hair. “Mommy’s here.”
Rosie hummed faintly, but after a moment, she opened her eyes again.
Noelle quickly forced a smile. “What’s the matter?”
“Mommy, you won’t cry, right?” she asked.”
The question stumped Noelle.

Rosie explained, “It hurt a little earlier, but I’m feeling better now. So, don’t be sad, okay?”
Noelle had been maintaining a smile all this time, but hearing those words, her expression faltered. She couldn’t bring herself to answer, only nodding vigorously.
Reassured by her response, Rosie finally closed her eyes again.
Noelle remained seated beside her, her gaze fixed on the IV bag hanging nearby.
It was a large bag, and she knew it would take a long time to empty. But she couldn’t bring herself to look away, as if afraid she might miss something important.
When Seline walked in and saw Noelle staring intently at the IV bag, she couldn’t help but freeze for a moment before walking over to her.
“Why don’t you go rest for a bit? I’ll stay here and watch over Rosie.”
Noelle didn’t respond.
Seline took a deep breath and finally said, “The doctor mentioned that Rosie’s white blood cell count is very low. They suspect it might be… leukemia.”
Her voice was heavy.
Although the doctor had already given Noelle a heads–up earlier, hearing the diagnosis confirmed still made her expression change.
Then, she slowly looked up.
“But don’t worry,” Seline added quickly. “Cancer treatment has come a long way, so I’m pretty sure there’s a way to treat this. I’ve already called my dad, and he suggested we transfer Rosie to a hospital in Coppersville. What do you think?”

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...
