Chapter 170 +25 BONUS Noelle didnt sleep well that night .
After tossing and turning in bed for what felt like an eternity , she finally drifted into a light , hazy slumber .
She wasnt sure how much time had passed when she suddenly felt as though there was someone by her bedside .
Still groggy , she tried her best to open her eyes , only to see someone truly sitting there .
Noelle jumped in fright , letting out a sharp scream .
Its me , Hendrix said .
His faint , weightless voice in the dark night felt hollow .
Still startled , it took Noelle a while to process what was happening .
Then , without thinking , she lifted her leg to kick him .
She was undeniably angry .
After all , anyone would be in a foul mood to be scared awake after finally managing to fall asleep .
However , Hendrix caught her ankle effortlessly just as she raised her foot .
Noelles feet had finally warmed up after hours under the covers , but a shiver shot through her entire body the moment Hendrix wrapped his cold hand around her ankle .
Let go ! Your hand is freezing ! she cried .
Hendrix ignored her protest entirely , tightening his grip on her ankle before pulling her to him .
You ! Noelle had just managed to utter one word when Hendrix suddenly leaned down and buried his head against her neck .
The rest of her words vanished instantly .
She gripped the bedsheet beneath her tightly .
She wanted to push him away with her legs , but her instinct to press his head down won in the end .
Eventually , she couldnt help but stroke his hair .
But the moment her fingers touched it , she realized something was wrong .

Frowning , she grabbed his hand to pull him up .

When she returned , Hendrix had already taken off his coat and tossed it aside .

But Hendrix quickly looked up , and when their eyes met , the coldness in his expression softened almost instantly .
The subtle change eased Noelles heart , and she continued walking with the supplies in hand .
As she gently parted his hair , she discovered a long , deep gush on his head , clearly made by a sharp object .
She pressed her lips into a tight line .
She wanted to ask , but seeing that Hendrix had no intention of explaining , she chose not to push him .
Silently , she disinfected the wound before finally securing a bandage over it .
