Noelle knew Hendrix all too well. So the moment she saw the doctor, she knew exactly what he was planning to do. She immediately took a few steps back.
By then, Hendrix had already stepped forward. Noelle's pupils widened slightly, and without a second thought, she tried to push past him to rush outside.
But she couldn't even break free from Hendrix's grip, let alone with so many people around. Thus, she was quickly pinned down on the bed, and the doctor prepared to inject her with a sedative.
"Let me go! Hendrix, let me go! What does it matter to you what I do? Let go of me!" Noelle began to struggle fiercely, her voice sharp as if it could pierce through anything.
But their movements didn't falter, and the doctor plunged the needle into her arm without any hesitation.
"You bastard! Hendrix Freeman, you are a total bastard! I need to find Rosie. I just want to find my daughter—what right do you have to stop me? I hate you! I hate you!"
Tears streamed down Noelle's face, but her voice grew weaker, along with her struggling.
Everyone else had already let go, except for Hendrix, who was still holding her down. His expression didn't change at all when he heard her say "I hate you".
He even replied, "It's fine. Just hate me, then. As long as you're alive, that's all that matters to me."
Alive? How could she stay alive? If something really happened to Rosie, how could she face living in this world?
It was all because of her negligence. Everything was her fault. All she wanted now was to find her. Why wouldn't they let her go? Why was everyone stopping her?
Noelle wanted to say more, but her limbs were slowly losing strength, and her mind was growing foggy. Finally, she was swallowed whole by an endless darkness.

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...
