The Sway and Slide of Love

Hendrix's request for discharge was denied. This wasn't entirely unexpected.

After all, with Austin personally instructing the hospital to take good care of Hendrix, they wouldn't dare make the slightest mistake.

However, Hendrix soon realized that staying in the hospital wasn't without its benefits. After all, the signal here was significantly better than in the village.

Although he had handed over matters in Coppersville to Erwin, he still had to keep a close watch. After all, Erwin had no sense of restraint, and Hendrix didn't want things to escalate into an ugly mess.

More importantly, he didn't want Noelle to find out he had taken actions against the Swift family. He still wasn't sure what exactly happened to her that night. But he knew the Swift family was definitely involved.

The Swift family's attitude toward Dylan had reached a point that was almost incomprehensible. Hendrix even wondered if Dylan had cast some kind of spell on

them.

Otherwise, how could someone who had been a powerhouse in the business world for so long so naively hand over their family's legacy to someone with no blood relation to them?

But that was the Swift family's problem.

To Hendrix, the world was simple-if someone wasn't his ally, then that someone was his enemy. And when it came to enemies, he never showed mercy.

He just had to make sure Noelle didn't find out about this matter. After all, the Swift family had dug their own grave.

Currently, news of his "death" had already spread throughout Coppersville. As soon as Hendrix opened the stock market webpage, he saw the plummeting stock price of Amity Group. Then, came the flood of news articles online.

After scanning through them, Hendrix called Rosie.

"Have you been a good girl?" Hendrix asked her.

"Yes," Rosie replied softly.noveldrama

"I've already met with your mommy," Hendrix told her. "But we can't come back just yet. Grandma has explained things to you, right?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry for breaking my promise to you. I'll buy a gift once we're back, okay?"

This time, Rosie didn't respond.

Hendrix knew he couldn't stay on the line for long. He only contacted Erwin and the others through

alternate networks now, and the net

number he used to call Rosie could be tracked by Dylan's people at any moment. If that happened, all his efforts would be for nothing.

He also knew Rosie wasn't particularly attached to him, so she probably didn't

have much to say.

"Then, be good and listen to Grandma. I'm hanging up now, okay?"

Rosie remained silent.

Hendrix said goodbye and was about to hang up when he suddenly heard Rosie call him, "Daddy."

Hendrix's expression immediately vanished at the word. For a moment, he thought he had misheard.

Hendrix wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found

himself at a loss for words. He didn't know how to respond.

The next second, Rosie asked, "You'll bring Mommy back with you, right?"

"Of course." This time, Hendrix finally found his voice.

"Okay. Then, it's a promise?"
