The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 695

When Dylan locked eyes with Hendrix, he even chuckled. "Mr. Freeman, thank you for coming all the way here in the middle of the night. But the doctor just said that Mr. Swift is stable now, so—"

"Dylan, just what are you trying to do?" Hendrix didn't have time for small talk or pretenses. He cut straight to the point, his gaze sharp and icy as he looked at Dylan.

Dylan raised an eyebrow. Then, he said, "Mr. Freeman, what do you mean by—"

"A man who would kill for money suddenly decides to take care of his deceased friend's parents." Hendrix chuckled coldly. "Do you really think I'd believe that?"

"Kill for money? Mr. Freeman, who are you talking about?"

"You know exactly who I'm talking about."

Dylan didn't say a word. He simply frowned at Hendrix, his gaze filled with confusion—almost as if he couldn't understand how he had been so thoroughly misunderstood.

"You can leave now," Hendrix said. "I'll have professionals take care of Mr. Swift. You're not needed."

"But I've already promised Mrs. Swift. Should I call her now and tell her you don't want me here?" Dylan asked earnestly.

Hendrix's expression darkened.

Dylan smiled faintly, then asked seriously, "Mr. Freeman, haven't you realized that the person who shouldn't be here is actually you?"

Hendrix clenched his hands tightly.

But it didn't matter. In any case, Marshall was stable now. And once he woke up, the truth would naturally come to light.

With that in mind, Hendrix didn't linger at the hospital. He had Levi take him home.

It was very late by the time he returned to Roselle Court. But the lights in the master bedroom were still on.

When Hendrix entered, Noelle was sitting on the edge of the bed, scrolling through her phone. Hearing his footsteps, she immediately ran over to him. "Did something happen?"

Hendrix glanced at her phone and realized she had been searching for news about Amity Group. She was worried something had happened to him.

Chuckling, he took her hand. "It's nothing. Someone I know fell ill, so I went to the hospital to check on him."
