Chapter 391 Noelle was startled by the touch Hendrixs hand was ice cold .
If he werent still sitting beside her , she might have thought he had stopped breathing .
Perhaps it was because her own body temperature was too high , but at that moment , Hendrix froze .
Then , slowly , he turned his head to look at her .
You should head back first .
I can stay here , Noelle said .
No- Hendrix had intended to refuse , but just as the words reached his lips , something seemed to cross his mind .
He smiled wryly and said , Youre right .
If she wakes up and sees me , she probably wouldnt be too happy .
Maybe shed even want to die all over again .

Noelle fell silent .
But Hendrix quickly made a decision .
Come back with me .
You need rest , too .
Its fine .
I can rest here .
Besides , if we leave only the caregiver behind to take care of her , you wont be able to relax anyway .
As soon as Noelle finished speaking , Hendrix fell silent .
She smiled at him .
Go on .
If anything happens , Ill call you ! In the end , Hendrix got to his feet .
His body felt stiff , his mind a blank daze .
But Noelles words seemed to switch something inside him like a machine responding to a command , he stood and walked out without another word .
As he stepped out of the hospital , the cold night air hit him head on .
It was only then that he suddenly remembered something .
Without hesitation , he got into his car and drove straight back to Freeman Manor .
The house had been in chaos earlier that night , but now , everything was pristine , meticulously restored to order .
Ophelia and the household staff had all retired for the night Everything was so quiet , as if nothing had ever happened .
For the first time , Hendrix felt a deep fear toward this house .
It was as if , in its eyes , nothing and no one truly mattered .
Even though someone had nearly died here tonight , the house remained tranquil , as though what happened before was just a fleeting illusion .
His footsteps faltered .
After a brief pause , he continued forward .
Ophelia was already asleep , but he didnt care .
He went upstairs and pushed open her bedroom door without hesitation .
The abrupt movement startled Ophelia awake .
What do you think youre doing ? she roared furiously .
Are you trying to scare me to death by barging in like this in the middle of the night ? .
1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 391 I have something to ask you , Hendrix replied calmly .
Ophelia let out a sharp laugh , anger laced in every word .
Cant you see Im sleeping ? Whats so urgent that it cant wait until morning ? You and your mother do you have to torment me until Im in my grave before youre satisfied ? Hendrix merely smiled .
But to Ophelia , that smile was pure provocation .
Her expression darkened further , and just as she was about to snap again , Hendrix spoke first , How could you still sleep so soundly after what happened tonight ? Why couldnt I ? No one actually died , did they ? Besides , this isnt even the first time shes thrown her life away .
Do you really think worrying about someone like that will change anything ? Her voice dripped with ridicule .
Hendrix didnt pay any attention to her mocking .
Instead , he casually took a seat on the redwood couch in her room and said , Then , why dont you tell me the reason she did what she did ? How would I know ? Ophelia was so furious that she was shaking all over .
Get out of my room this instant ! Grandma , Im giving you a chance right now , Hendrix replied seriously .
You should understand if I want to find something out , theres nothing I cant uncover .
But if I have to dig it up myself , the nature of this matter will change entirely .
