The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 573

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Noelle asked Hendrix after checking the time.

Hendrix didn't respond, and Noelle took that to mean that he didn't. So, she turned and walked away with another word. There was not the slightest hesitation in her movements.

Hendrix watched her retreating figure and suddenly let out a bitter laugh.

Just then, his phone rang. It was someone from Nathan's side.

"Mr. Freeman, Nathan's awake. Do you have anything you want to say to him?"

Hendrix took a deep breath before replying with a curt "yes".

"Got it," the person on the other end responded immediately.

After a few seconds, Hendrix heard Nathan's voice.

"Well, well, if it isn't Hendrix, my dearest brother!"

Though Nathan was still as sarcastic as ever, Hendrix could still detect the weakness in his voice.

"It's shocking that you actually still remember you have a little brother," Nathan added.

Hendrix ignored the sarcasm and got straight to the point. "Grandma has passed away."

There was a brief pause on the other end. Then, Nathan laughed and said, "Oh, really? No wonder I thought I saw her when I was in a coma a few days ago. I guess she was coming to take me with her."

Hendrix remembered how eager Nathan had been to please Ophelia when he first arrived in the family. Even then, he had seen through him, knowing he wasn't a good person.
