The Sway and Slide of Love novel Chapter 776

Hendrix had been scanning Noelle from head to toe. But when he heard her words, he paused slightly and looked at her again. "You were worried about me?"

"Yeah. They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?" Noelle frowned. "I can testify for you. It was Sid who attacked first, and you were just protecting me."

Hendrix studied her for a moment before suddenly laughing. "Of course they made it difficult for me. That bastard is still lying in the hospital, and he might even end up disabled. I've been bailed out for now, but I might still have to stand trial later. Who knows? I might even end up in prison."

Noelle slowly turned pale in the face as his words slowly sank in. She stared at him in disbelief, her voice trembling. "A-Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

Noelle fell silent, her head bowing slowly. "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry."

The choked sound of her voice sent an unexpected pang through Hendrix's chest. But he quickly suppressed it and asked, "Noelle, what will you do?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I go to prison, what will you do?"

"I'll wait for you," she answered without hesitation.

The sheer certainty in her voice caught Hendrix off guard.

"Why?" he asked.

Noelle looked at him, puzzled. Her eyes were still red-rimmed, glistening with unshed tears under the dim light, making them look even more captivating.

Staring at her, Hendrix suddenly felt like he might have gone too far with this lie.
