The Sway and Slide of Love by Jean Song

Chapter 801

People always subconsciously justified their past actions when recounting events, positioning themselves as morally righteous. Dylan had done it earlier, and now, Hendrix, too.

The same incident became two entirely different stories when told by different people.

But Noelle didn't press further. After all, no matter what, she had ultimately chosen Hendrix in the past.

Moreover, she now knew that the reason Hendrix had gone to the village back then and gotten injured was all because of her. However others might judge it, his feelings for her were indeed genuine.

Therefore, she should trust her feelings in this moment, and she should also trust the choices she made in the past.

Choosing not to dwell on it any longer, she simply looked up at Hendrix. After meeting his gaze for a moment, she nodded. "Okay."

Hearing that, Hendrix finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he offered her a smile.

Noelle had already seen Cynthia. Just as Hendrix had warned, Cynthia's condition was dire. The machines were the only things keeping her alive. Without them, she wouldn't even last a day.

Noelle wasn't sure if living like this was torture for Cynthia. But she couldn't make the decision to end it either. So in the end, she just squeezed her hand tightly and called her "Mom".

The woman lying there showed no reaction at all. Even the heart rate monitor next to her showed no sign of fluctuation. But that was to be expected, as real life granted no movie-perfect miracles.
