The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 509

"Even if I did forge it, it can't be proven just by your words. But as long as I show this evaluation to the doctors, the consent form my mother signed will become invalid immediately," Hendrix said.

Noelle's expression immediately vanished. There was no anger, sadness, or even disbelief.

She just stood there, quietly staring at him as though he were a stranger—someone entirely disconnected from her life.

"Why?" Noelle finally asked. "Hendrix, are you really going to let your daughter die?"

At this moment, she couldn't care less about jinxing the situation. The only thing swirling in her mind now was an endless barrage of confusion.

She was truly and utterly confused as to why Hendrix would do something like this. Even if he felt no love for Rosie, even if he hated Noelle for the choices she made in the past, this was still a life they were talking about.

Rosie was his daughter. She should have called him "Daddy", yet here he was, forcing her into a dead end. Just… why?

"It hurts, doesn't it?" Hendrix looked at her and actually laughed. "Noelle, I've lived like this every single day for the past two years, including when you doubted me back then. Did you think I wasn't in pain?

"I'm not trying to kill Rosie. It's just that I can't bear to see you living a happy life."

She knelt before him with her head bowed, her once-straight back slowly bending inch by inch. Her bangs fell forward, obscuring her face, but Hendrix could still see the tears silently dripping from her eyes to the floor. Her shoulders shook violently.

Then, she said softly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Freeman. I was wrong. I shouldn't have betrayed you. I know you hate me. You can punish me however you want, but Rosie is innocent. I beg you. Please save her."

After saying this, she leaned forward until her forehead touched the floor.

"Hendrix, I'm begging you. I'll do anything you want. Even if you want me dead, I'll do it! As long as you're willing to save her, I can kill myself right now!"
