The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 551

"Then, why did you—"

Noelle was cut off as Erwin suddenly let out a laugh. Then, he took two steps back and slammed the door shut.

His movements were quick—so quick that Noelle didn't have time to react. By the time she processed what had happened, the door was already locked from the outside.

Noelle's expression darkened. She yanked hard on the doorknob. "What are you doing? Open the door!"

"I've already left the fever medicine inside," Erwin said from outside the door. "The doctor just came by and said that Hendrix will be fine as long as his fever goes down. As for the rest, that's up to you."

His words left Noelle frozen in place. After a moment, she began pounding on the door again. "Open the door! You lunatic! What does him being sick have anything to do with me?"

Her voice was sharp, but there was no response from outside. Erwin was already gone.

Noelle had no choice but to return to the room and try calling the hotel front desk using the landline. But she quickly discovered that Erwin had disabled the phone service.

To make matters worse, her phone was missing. She didn't even know Erwin had taken it.

Noelle had no choice but to search for Hendrix's phone. But if Erwin had managed to steal her phone right under her nose, there was no way he would have left Hendrix's phone behind.

Noelle sat down, trembling with anger. After a moment, she stood and walked over to the bed. "Hendrix."

He was lying there, deeply asleep. Perhaps because he was feeling cold, he was curled into a tight ball.

This was the first time Noelle had seen him look so vulnerable. But she felt no pity for him. All she felt was rage.
