The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 486 To Noelle's surprise, Hendrix didn't show up the next day.

However, the team of medical experts he had promised arrived promptly. They held a meeting with Rosie's current doctors and ultimately decided to proceed with the surgery.

As Rosie's mother, Noelle had already undergone a compatibility test, but she hadn't been a match. Now, they were waiting for Hendrix's results.

If his test also came back negative...

Noelle didn't dare to think further.

Hendrix didn't show up over the next two days as well. His absence made Noelle realize his intentions. He had arranged for the doctors and agreed to a compatibility test solely out of a sense of paternal responsibility. It had nothing to do with anything else.

Honestly speaking, realizing this brought her a sense of relief.

After all, a few days ago, Seline had mentioned that children were a bond between parents. And because of Rosie, there might be a chance for something to change between Noelle and Hendrix.

When Noelle heard this, her first reaction had been fear-yes, fear.

After all, it was said painful memories were the most deeply ingrained. So, every time she thought of Hendrix, she would feel a physical ache in her heart and throughout her body. It was a visceral reaction, something she couldn't overcome or immunize herself against.
