The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 712

Hendrix frowned at the sound. When he looked up, the man casually removed the baseball cap from his head.

Everyone in the room was stunned. Because the man's features were almost identical to Hendrix's.

But years of exposure to the elements and life's hardships had left his skin rough and tanned, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.

While everyone else was staring at Nathan's face, Hendrix's gaze slowly drifted downward to his feet. As if knowing what Hendrix was thinking, Nathan smiled and pulled up his pant legs. There, attached to his knees, were prosthetic legs.

Realization finally dawned on Hendrix. "So, you're not dead, after all," he said softly.

Nathan continued to smile. "Yeah, I'm not dead. Are you disappointed?"

Hendrix didn't respond. Instead, he glanced at the man still pinned under his foot. "Is he the one you've been working with? Probably not, right? You don't seem to recognize him, either."

Then, he turned his attention back to Nathan. "And you should still be abroad when this all started. For you to have completed surgery and appear here, someone must have helped you. Let me guess—could it be Dylan?"

Nathan simply laughed.

Hendrix nodded. "Looks like it really is him. But his business is just starting to recover—there's no way he would do anything reckless. So, it's only fitting he would use you as a pawn. After all, you really do want me dead, don't you?"
