Hendrix wasn't sure how long he had been asleep. His mind remained in a constant haze. Sometimes, he felt unbearably freezing cold. Other times, he was burning up.
In the midst of it all, he even thought he saw Noelle. She was frowning at him, her expression tinged with impatience.
Instinctively, he reached out to grab her, but the moment he moved, she stepped back. The look of disgust in her eyes was unmistakable. Hendrix could only slowly withdraw his hand.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally opened his eyes.
The sky outside had already darkened. He was still lying in bed, the cooling patch on his forehead now the same temperature as his body. He was soaked with sweat, as if he had truly been wandering through a desert.
Slowly, he turned his head, only to notice someone lying on the small couch nearby. She was curled up under a bathrobe.
The moonlight streaming through the window bathed her in a soft glow, illuminating her features clearly—her long lashes, her flawless skin, and her full, tempting lips.
Hendrix stared at her face for a long time. Then, it hit him—there was a full moon tonight.
After a brief pause, he got up from the bed. He wanted to move closer to get a better look at her. But Noelle snapped open her eyes in the next second.
Their gazes met, and Hendrix stopped in his tracks.
Noelle had just woken up, her thoughts still hazy. She stared at Hendrix for a few seconds before finally registering his presence.
"You're awake."

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...
