tank you for your care the post few days, hot to old an minderstandings with Ma. Wright, we shoulder be staying in contact anymore," Noelle continued.

Hendrix didn't respond immediately ite sat there, express, and watched her. After a long silence, he finally let out a faint chuckle

", tielle, you want to draw a clear line between

We didn't answer he simply pulled her suitcase closer ilence. That attitude seld everything

He laughed aloud and said, "You're right about one thing I want someone, there are plenty of options out there. Don't think you're anything special, Noelle

"I know that," she replied with a forced smile. "I've always known that, in your heart, I was never the special one.

I So, let's not waste each other's time anymore"

Hendrix said nothing further.

Without hesitation, Noelle bid him farewell. "Then, I'll leave now. I wish you and Ms. Wright all the best and a happy ever after."

With those words, she turned away, pulling her suitcase along without looking back.

He didn't stop her. He remained expressionless as he puffed away.

She had wanted to say more, but there didn't seem a need to do so anymore. She walked out quietly. The door clicked softly shut, and silence returned to the room.

Hendrix continued to sit still and finished his cigarette. When he glanced toward the door, he noticed Noelle had left the room key behind

He let out another laugh. Then, with a sudden motion, he raised his foot and kicked over the coffee table in front

of him.

Noelle took an overnight train back to Coppersville

The moment she arrived at her rental apartment and barely had time to catch her breath, she was informed that The hospital was preparing to withdraw its medical team.

Although Hendrix had used this matter to threaten her before, he had never actually followed through. So, she thought he was only bluffing

Now, with the hospital's sudden notice, she realized this was his way of cutting ties completely.

She rushed to the hospital without delay.

"I can cover the medical expenses myself," she said. "Whatever the team requires, you can let me know."

"Ms. Swanson, do you know how much the patient's daily expenses amount to?"

She nodded, "I know."

Her resolute tone silenced the other party, who simply handed her the payment slip. Noelle glanced at it briefly and said, "Alright. I'll take care of it."

Chapter 137

"Ms. Swanson, this isn't a matter of just one or two days. The patient's condition has improved, but no one knows when she might wake up. Worse, she may never regain consciousnes

in this lifetime. That means-"

"I know. I understand everything."

She nodded firmly. "I've made my decision. Even if I end up losing everything, I won't hold your hospital accountable for any of it."

The hospital had been waiting for such a guarantee. Since she was so adamant, they didn't make things more difficult for her.

After signing the agreement, she transferred the first payment immediately. Not long ago, her comic rights had been sold for a decent price. This money temporarily eased her current crisis, but for the ongoing treatment, it was far from enough.

After much deliberation, she called Brandon.

"Mr. Quinlan, do you remember the favor you promised me before? You still owe me one."
