"The avalanche caused many deaths and disappearances," Hendrix explained, as if he knew what Noelle was wondering. "Right now, there's no one left at the ski resort to interview. So, the reporters had no choice but to camp outside the hospital to get the latest updates."
A jolt went through Noelle. "So, someone has died?"
"Yeah. The avalanche struck too suddenly, and the ski resort wasn't prepared with proper emergency measures, which led to many tourists being caught in it. Most of them are still missing as we speak."
As Hendrix spoke, he drove the car into the underground parking garage.
Noelle had been anxious the entire way. But now that they were actually at the hospital, she suddenly felt like retreating. Maybe it was because of the grim reality Hendrix had just described, or maybe it was the memory of the dream she'd had earlier.
She couldn't stop trembling, but her legs seemed to move on their own, carrying her forward. Soon, she reached the ICU with Hendrix following closely behind her.
When Noelle saw the red light above the ICU doors, a figure suddenly rushed toward her. Noelle didn't have time to react, but Hendrix quickly pulled her to his side. Thus, the slap meant for Noelle landed on Hendrix' instead.
"What are you doing?" Another person rushed over and grabbed the woman.
But the woman was relentless, her voice shrill. "It's all your fault! Why did you have to bring Seline here? It's because of you that she's in this state! She's only 26 years old! She hasn't even gotten married yet! She's my only daughter!"

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👨👩👧...
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...
