Noelle seemed quite busy.
Dylan didn't say much, only nodding in response. Only then did Noelle turn and push open the bedroom door.
Rosie was still asleep on the bed. She looked so peaceful and soft, clearly undisturbed by the commotion outside.
Noelle crouched by her bedside, carefully tucking her in before leaving the room.
The front desk had already delivered the first aid kit. Dylan was sitting on the couch nearby, the kit open but unused.
Noelle quickly walked over. She took out an ice pack and handed it to Dylan.
"Thank you," he said with a smile.
Noelle, however, pursed her lips. "I'm sorry for dragging you into my mess."
"Drag me into your mess?" Dylan was taken aback. Then, he smiled again and said, "What are you talking about? How is this your fault?"
"But—"
"Besides, didn't you also get hurt because of me before?" he asked. "And the pain you went through was much worse than this, so my little scratch is nothing."
This was the first time Dylan had brought up what happened back then, and for a moment, Noelle didn't know how to respond.
Dylan looked at her. "Do you still blame me for that?"
"No," she answered quickly, but fearing that he might misunderstand, she added, "If I blame you, would I still be with you now?"
Finally, Dylan laughed. It was a relieved, genuine laugh. Then, he said, "Exactly. So how can you say you've dragged me into anything?"

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...
