The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 761

Noelle hadn't expected Hendrix to bring this up, so she was stunned for a moment. Then, she looked at him with confusion.

"I wanted to use the bathroom," he answered with a cheeky grin.

"Oh." Even though Noelle felt flustered, she still quickly stepped aside.

Hendrix, however, remained seated. Noelle looked at him, puzzled.

He chuckled and said, "My arm is injured. I can't even feed myself—do you think I can go to the bathroom on my own?"

Noelle's expression changed instantly. "W-What do you mean?"

Hendrix reached out and took her hand. "Help me," he said in a low and raspy voice.

Noelle immediately shook her head. "No way!"

As she spoke, she tried to pull her hand away.

But even with only one good hand, Hendrix's grip was still strong.

Not only did he not let go, but he slid his fingers through Noelle's and pressed his palm firmly against hers. The dry, burning warmth of his hand made Noelle's cheeks flush instantly. It was as if, at this moment, she wasn't holding his hand but something far more intimate.

"Let go!" Noelle said in a trembling voice, looking like she was about to cry.

Hendrix watched her, the smile on his lips growing wider. "You just said you'd take care of me, yet you won't help me now?"
