The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 504

After Noelle finished speaking, Seline was visibly stunned. Clearly, her mind was struggling to process what Noelle had just said.

After several seconds, she finally asked again, "What did you just say?"

"Hendrix said he doesn't want to go through with the surgery anymore," Noelle repeated in a hoarse voice.

Seline immediately yanked off her headphones. "Has he lost his mind?"

Her voice was sharp, loud enough to wake Rosie, who had been sleeping in the hospital bed.

Rosie blinked sleepily at them. "Mommy…"

Noelle quickly stepped forward and took Rosie's hand. "Did we wake you? I'm sorry."

Rosie looked at her, then at Seline. The latter's face was still flushed with anger.

"Mommy, are you and Seline fighting?" Rosie asked.

"No, we're just discussing something. It's okay. Go back to sleep, Rosie," Noelle replied while gently stroking Rosie's cheek.

Rosie wanted to say more, but Noelle quickly changed the subject. It took a while, but after some coaxing, Rosie eventually drifted back to sleep.

By then, Seline had already calmed down.

"To be honest, I'm not surprised at all," she said. "He's never acted like a father. When you were giving birth, he didn't care at all. Now that Rosie is sick, how many times has he even visited her? The only reason he agreed to the compatibility test was to shut the hospital people up.

"What's the matter? You don't like the plan?" Seline noticed her hesitation.

"I'm just thinking that Rosie will find out about this when she grows up, won't she? How will she feel about her father then?"

"The problem is, Hendrix doesn't even want to do the surgery now! Didn't you say you'd do anything to keep Rosie alive? Why are you hesitating now? Don't tell me you're going soft on him?"

Noelle shook her head. "I'm just afraid that even if we do this, Hendrix still won't change his mind. You know how much negative press and slander he's faced over the years. And given his current status in Coppersville, your news might not even get out."

After Noelle finished speaking, Seline fell silent.

"Then, what do we do?" she finally asked. "Are we really supposed to wait for news from the bone marrow registry? You know this is Rosie's best chance for treatment, right?"
