Noelle had no intention of explaining anything to Hendrix. She simply handed him the medicine and water. "Take it."
Her expression was grim, her tone stiff and cold.
Hendrix stared at her for a moment, then took the pill and water obediently.
Noelle had poured the water without much thought, and just by touching the glass, she could tell it was somewhat cold.
Hendrix obviously felt it, too, but he didn't say a word. He simply took the cup and swallowed the fever medicine.
"Lie down and sleep," Noelle ordered.
But Hendrix kept his eyes on her. "Are you going to leave?"
Noelle wasn't sure if he was fully conscious or still delirious. But when she heard his question, she laughed out of frustration.
"Your buddy, Erwin, has locked the door and taken away my phone. So, how am I supposed to leave? Jump off the balcony?"
Her words came out in a barrage.
Hendrix sat there, his brows furrowed as if he were struggling to process what she was saying. Finally, he seemed to reach a conclusion—she wasn't going anywhere.
Satisfied with that answer, he nodded and lay back down, falling asleep almost immediately.
The fever medicine worked quickly. Within two hours, his temperature had dropped. But Noelle felt no relief.
At that moment, Dylan and Rosie were still at the water park. Noelle was sure they'd be worried if they couldn't find her.
And Erwin's elaborate scheme wasn't just about making her take care of Hendrix. With her out of the way, what would Erwin say to Dylan if he found him?

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...
