The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 665

Hendrix ignored Noelle's pointed gaze and simply took the thermometer from her.

"Hmm, you don't have a fever. It's probably just a mild cold."

Despite saying that, Hendrix immediately turned around to call the doctor.

Just then, a household staff came upstairs. "Mr. Freeman, there's a guest here to see you."

Hendrix frowned and asked, "Who is it?"

"I don't know her, but she said she's a friend of Mrs. Freeman, and her last name is Upton."

Hendrix turned to look at Noelle.

Noelle immediately remembered. "Ruth Upton?"

"Who's that?" Hendrix asked.

Noelle stared at him without answering. Her gaze made Hendrix's heart skip a beat. Then, he suddenly remembered—Ruth was Sandra's best friend.

Those people had long faded from their lives, and Hendrix never expected them to resurface in this way.

Hendrix quickly changed the subject. "What does she want with you?"

"I don't know."

"Then, don't see her," Hendrix said, making the decision for her.

He didn't want Noelle to recall the past and end up angry with him again. Thus, he immediately instructed the household staff to send Ruth away.

But moments later, the household staff returned with a troubled expression, saying Ruth refused to leave and insisted on seeing Noelle.
