The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 624

"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!"

"But what have you ever done for her? Have you ever given back even the slightest bit? You're nothing but a jinx! All you do is bring suffering to those around you!"

Marla had completely lost control of her emotions. Fear and resentment now dominated her mind. All sense of grace and composure was gone, replaced by the most venomous words to vent her feelings.

At that moment, she even wished she could stab Noelle with a knife to make her pay for Seline's life.

Before Noelle could respond, Hendrix's gaze darkened.
