The Sway and Slide of Love

Chapter 286

Noelle looked at Dylan for a long while, then smiled. "No need. Just stay with me like this."

Dylan reached out and pulled her into his arms. His hug wasn't tight, and the faint fragrance on his body instantly filled Noelle's nose.

Noelle made no effort to resist but slowly reached out and Wrapped her arms around his waist. "How's your father?" Dylan asked her.

"Acute stroke," she said softly. "But we got to the hospital on time, and the doctor said that as long as he wakes up, everything will be fine."

"Mm, how about you go back and rest? I'll keep an eye on things here."

"No. I won't be able to sleep even if I go back. Haven't you noticed my phone hasn't stopped ringing?" Dylan didn't reply.

Noelle didn't know if he was feeling guilty for being unable to help her, so she said, "The wedding doesn't need to be postponed. Your grandfather has been looking forward to it for so long, so we can't disappoint him." "But..."

"Don't worry. I can still spare a day, and with Elm Group in such a critical situation, people might start to speculate that you're planning to run away if you postpone the wedding, "Noelle said, then paused and looked at Dylan. "You don't really think that, do you?"

"Of course not," Dylan replied immediately.

Seeing his tense and serious expression, Noelle smiled slightly and nodded. "That's good. Although I could understand if you did think that...

Before she could finish, Dylan pinched her cheek. "What are you imagining? I'm just worried you're too tired."

Noelle shook her head.

Then, she took the initiative to bury her face in Dylan's chest and softly said, "And this wedding is actually good for me, too. With my dad's ill health, there will definitely be people trying to take advantage of the situation.

"But if we get married, at least they'll think twice because I still have family backing me up." Family.

П

Although this wasn't the position Dylan had expected, he suddenly felt that this word was the most romantic word in the world.

He didn't say anything further and slowly reached out to hold her close.

Even though Noelle had told him she didn't need him to stay, Dylan insisted on staying. With her phone constantly ringing, he figured his presence in the hospital room would help her feel a bit more at ease. When Noelle returned to the room after hanging up yet another call, she noticed Sandra had somehow arrived. This was likely the first time Sandra and Dylan had met.

Sandra wore her usual sweet smile and cheerfully greeted Dylan, who smiled in response.

For some reason, Noelle thought back to the time Sandra had greeted Hendrix. How had Hendrix responded back then?

Chapter 286

Noelle tried to remember but couldn't, and at that moment she didn't want to think about it.

When she entered the hospital room, Sandra immediately stepped forward. "Noelle, where have you been? I didn't see you just now. You should've told me about everything that's been happening!" Noelle pointed to her phone. "I've been really busy, and it all happened so suddenly. I didn't have a chance to notify anyone."

"How's everything at the company?" Sandra äsked.

"It's bad," Noelle replied straightforwardly. "By the way, you know Mr. Mueller, right? I want to meet with him. Could you help arrange that?"
