The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 700

"Where are you?" Hendrix asked in a tense voice the moment Noelle answered his call.

"The hospital," Noelle answered truthfully.

Hendrix fell silent for a brief moment.

But Noelle didn't wait for his response. Instead, she said, "I have things to do, so I'm hanging up now."

With that, she ended the call.

When she entered the hospital room, Marshall and Marla had indeed fallen silent.

Noelle paused, then took the initiative to break the silence. "I just saw Dylan off."

"Oh, okay." Marla nodded. "Thank you."

Noelle pressed her lips together and added, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop earlier. I'm really sorry."

"It's fine. It's not like we were talking about anything that you shouldn't be hearing," Marshall quickly said with a smile. Then, he even added, "We weren't, were we?"

"No, of course not," Noelle immediately replied, waving her hands.

Marla couldn't help but laugh at her reaction. She then offered the apple in her hand to Noelle. "Want some?"

Noelle was completely at a loss for what to do. She didn't dare to actually eat the apple Marla had peeled herself, but she also couldn't bring herself to outright refuse. In the end, all she could manage was to say, "Please, let me peel it."

Marla nodded quickly.

"That's true, and his mother is still around. She'll probably set him up with someone." Marla nodded in agreement, then looked at Noelle. "So, you really don't like him? I think Dylan's great. Not only is he gentle and considerate, but he's also really caring as well."

Noelle suddenly didn't know how to respond. If it were anyone else, she would have refused outright. But the person asking the question was Marla.

Noelle didn't want to say anything that might upset her, nor did she dare. So, she could open and close her lips hesitantly, unsure of what to say.

Seeing this, Marshall was about to intervene when another voice suddenly cut in, "Mrs. Swift, you're quite the nosy one, aren't you?"

Noelle's expression immediately changed when she heard the voice. At the same time, she shot up from her seat.

Marla had originally been joking with Noelle or genuinely discussing the topic. But when Hendrix suddenly threw in a sarcastic remark, a frown immediately appeared on her face.
