The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 568
This was Noelle's first time visiting the nursing home where Ophelia lived. And barring any unexpected circumstances, it would likely be her last.
Rosie was also visiting such a place for the first time, her eyes wide with curiosity as she looked around. She turned to Noelle and asked, "Mommy, why are all the people sunbathing over there so old?"
"Because this is a nursing home. It's where elderly people live."
"Where are their children?"
"Probably working outside," Noelle answered.
"They don't stay with them? That must be so lonely for the old people."
After Rosie said that, Grant, who was leading the way, glanced back at them.
Noelle didn't respond, only tightening her grip on Rosie's hand.
Beatrice had come with them today, but she had no intention of seeing Ophelia. She knew she wasn't the person Ophelia wanted to see in her final moments, so she waited outside the room.
"Ms. Swanson, this way, please," Grant said, as respectful as ever.
Only then did Noelle lead Rosie inside.
In Noelle's memory, Ophelia had always been a strong, resilient woman. Despite her age and the pain of losing both her husband and son, she had remained tough and unyielding. Yet, the person lying on the hospital bed now was emaciated and frail.
The moment Rosie saw Ophelia, she was so scared that she immediately shrank back behind Noelle.
Ophelia's eyes, which had been lifeless, lit up when she saw them. Then, she struggled to sit up. "Are you Hendrix's child?"
Rosie stayed hidden behind Noelle, not speaking.
Finally, Noelle gently prompted her, "Rosie, say hello to your great-grandmother."

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...
