NovelOnlineChapter 531 Hendrix's grip on Noelle's arm was tight-so tight that it felt like he was about to crush her bones.
Noelle couldn't help but furrow her brows from the pain. But she didn't make a sound. Instead, she simply looked at him intently.

"Later, Seline toldthat you were planning to get married through a matchmaking arrangement and that you knew about Rosie's condition but chose to ignore it—" "That was a misunderstanding!" Hendrix interrupted her. "When I met Seline back then, I thought she was talking about your work on set. That's why I didn't—" "I know. But what about after that?" Noelle asked.
A frown slowly appeared on Hendrix's forehead, as if he didn't understand what she meant by "after that".
Noelle curled her lips into a faint smile. "After you learned of the situation, why did you treatand Roise that way? You knew how much Rosie meant to me. If we had just sat down and talked things through back then, maybe there could have been a chance for us, but you didn't.
"From start to finish, all you thought about was using Rosie to forceinto submission. You have no idea how desperate I felt, watching Rosie grow paler by the day while you refused to sign that consent form.
"She is part of me, bound toby blood. Do you really not understand how important she is to me?" Noelle suddenly laughed. "No-on the contrary, you knew exactly how important she was, and that's why you did it right? Hendrix, I never cared dabout how you treat me. In the past even made excuses for you, lying to myself so I could forgive you.

And even if you've forgotten, I haven't-if I hadn't gotten down on my knees and begged you back then, would you have agreed to the surgery? "Did it ever cross your mind that because of your delay, Rosie could have died? Do you even have feelings for her? Have you ever thought about your responsibility as her father? Do you remember that if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have cinto this world in the first place? "You brought her here, yet you never once thought about loving her properly. As her mother, how do you expectto forgive you?"
Noelle's voice remained calm throughout. She had thought she om would cry. After all, even until now, whenever she thought back to that dark time, she still felt anxious and afraid. But she didn't cry.
Even Noelle herself hadn't expected that she would be able to speak to him so calmly one day, as if she were just a detached observer.
She was no longer entrenched in the emotional entanglements they once shared with each other. That was NO why she could say all this without a ripple of emotion- no sadness, no bitterness, and not even anger. All she wanted was to make one thing clear to him he didn't deserve her forgiveness.
