The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 720

When Noelle and Hendrix were discharged from the hospital and getting ready to leave Tilwick, the police asked Hendrix if he wanted to take Nathan's ashes with him.

Technically, given that Nathan was the ringleader in this case and Hendrix was the victim, it wasn't exactly an appropriate question. But at the same time, Hendrix was also Nathan's older brother. And in a way, his only family in this world. So, it made sense for the police to ask.

When Hendrix heard the question, his expression didn't change, nor did he hesitate. He simply replied, "No, thanks. If you don't know what to do with them, scatter them into the sea. Or a sewer-either works."

With that, he hung up.

Though he was the one on the call, Noelle was sitting right beside him, so she had heard every word. She couldn't see the police officer's expression or reaction over the phone, but she imagined he must have been shocked.

After all, from an outsider's perspective, Hendrix had risked his life running back into the fire to pull Nathan out. Anyone watching would have assumed it was an act of deep brotherly devotion. So, they would never have expected Hendrix to tell them to dump the ashes into a sewer.
