The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 503

"Hating your own child and even wanting to watch her die?" Noelle shouted.

"Yes, I did say I'd try to be a good father, but it's obvious I can't do it." Hendrix's tone was calm and direct. He was plainly telling Noelle that he had gone back on his word. He simply couldn't do it.

But, so what? The hospital required the consent form to be signed in person. The decision was in Hendrix's hands, and as long as he refused, no one could force him to sign it.

Honestly speaking, Noelle had never anticipated such an outcome. In her mind, no matter how cruel Hendrix could be, she always believed there was still a shred of humanity in him. So surely, he wouldn't just stand by and watch his own child die, right?

But reality proved her wrong. As it turned out, he truly could be that cold-blooded.

Suddenly, Noelle found herself at a loss for words. Her mind was completely blank. Her lips trembled, but no sound came out.

Finally, she said, "Hendrix Freeman, I will hate you for the rest of my life!"

Hendrix chuckled. "Good. I was worried you wouldn't."

Without another word, Noelle turned around and walked away.

Hendrix didn't stop her.

Noelle knew there was no longer a reason for them to talk. He hated her, and she hated him just as much.

At the same time, she felt incredibly sad, as she didn't know what to do next.

Noelle didn't remember how she made it back to the hospital. Rosie was already asleep, while Seline was sitting by her bed, watching a live stream with her headphones on.

When she saw Noelle, she froze for a second, thinking she had to be mistaken. It wasn't until she confirmed it was really her that she asked, "What are you doing back here? Aren't you supposed to be—"

She stopped when she noticed how pale Noelle's face was. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?"

As she spoke, she reached out to touch Noelle's forehead.

But Noelle quickly grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

"What should I do?" she asked, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Hendrix… refused to go through with the surgery."
