The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 697

Marshall quickly nodded and answered, "I'm fine."

Noelle then turned to Marla. "I'm sorry. I just found out about this. You—"

"The doctor said he's fine," Marla replied calmly. "And Dylan was here last night, so nothing serious happened."

"I didn't do much. It's mainly because Mr. Swift is strong enough to pull through. But the doctor said you need more rest and can't overwork yourself—you have to remember that."

"Exactly," Marla immediately chimed in, agreeing with Dylan. "I've said it before—just let others handle the company. We're not young anymore. What's the point of making so much money? It's not like we can take it with us when we die, nor do we have anyone to—"

Marla suddenly trailed off. Then, she slowly turned to look at Noelle.

Just as the atmosphere was about to freeze, Dylan quickly said, "I should head back now."

Following his head, Marla said, "Yes. You've stayed up all night. Go home and get some rest. I really can't thank you enough for helping us."

"You're too kind. But like I said, it's the least I can do."

Noelle had no idea when Dylan had grown so close to the Swift family. At the moment, every look they gave him was filled with trust and admiration.

She suddenly thought of Jean, who had passed away sometime ago. Yet, her death had gone completely unnoticed in the country. But given her family's downfall and the fact that her parents were no longer in this world, it wasn't all that surprising that no one seemed to care about the cause of her death.

"Noelle, could you walk me out?" Dylan asked, pulling Noelle back to the present.
