The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 758

Noelle wasn't quick enough to stop Irene this time.

When Irene swung down her hoe, Hendrix instinctively raised his arm to block it. As a result, the wound he had just had re-bandaged at the hospital that day split open again. There was even a faint cracking sound, as if a bone had been fractured.

Even for someone as tough as Hendrix, the intense pain was enough to make him frown, and cold sweat quickly beaded on his forehead.

"Mom!" Noelle rushed forward and grabbed Irene's arm.

But was still in the heat of anger. She pushed Noelle aside and was about to strike again when Jerry, who had received an emergency call, arrived on the scene.

Jerry felt his vision darken for a moment when he saw Hendrix's injury. Then, without hesitation, he and his team restrained Irene.

"What are you doing? You bunch of ass-kissers! Let me go!" Irene struggled fiercely, her curses never stopping.

Jerry was at a loss. He was about to have her taken to the police station when Hendrix grabbed his arm.

"Take me to the hospital first," he said. His brows were still furrowed. His face was pale, but his voice remained calm.

"But—"

"She didn't mean to hurt me," Hendrix said without changing his expression. He glanced at the panicked Noelle before adding, "I won't press any charges. Just get me to the hospital."

Since Hendrix had already made his decision, Jerry naturally couldn't push the matter further. Besides, Irene was already quite elderly and mentally unstable, so it would have been troublesome to take her back to the police station.

Relieved by Hendrix's choice not to press charges, Jerry instructed two officers to stay behind and disperse the gathered villagers before helping Hendrix into the car.

Even though Hendrix was bleeding, Irene's anger still hadn't subsided. She even accused Jerry of helping Hendrix escape, chasing the police car and hurling curses until Noelle finally dragged her back inside.
