"Then, why did you—"
Noelle was cut off as Erwin suddenly let out a laugh. Then, he took two steps back and slammed the door shut.
His movements were quick—so quick that Noelle didn't have time to react. By the time she processed what had happened, the door was already locked from the outside.
Noelle's expression darkened. She yanked hard on the doorknob. "What are you doing? Open the door!"
"I've already left the fever medicine inside," Erwin said from outside the door. "The doctor just came by and said that Hendrix will be fine as long as his fever goes down. As for the rest, that's up to you."
His words left Noelle frozen in place. After a moment, she began pounding on the door again. "Open the door! You lunatic! What does him being sick have anything to do with me?"
Her voice was sharp, but there was no response from outside. Erwin was already gone.
Noelle had no choice but to return to the room and try calling the hotel front desk using the landline. But she quickly discovered that Erwin had disabled the phone service.
To make matters worse, her phone was missing. She didn't even know Erwin had taken it.
Noelle had no choice but to search for Hendrix's phone. But if Erwin had managed to steal her phone right under her nose, there was no way he would have left Hendrix's phone behind.
Noelle sat down, trembling with anger. After a moment, she stood and walked over to the bed. "Hendrix."
He was lying there, deeply asleep. Perhaps because he was feeling cold, he was curled into a tight ball.
This was the first time Noelle had seen him look so vulnerable. But she felt no pity for him. All she felt was rage.

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.

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...
