Chapter 573
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Noelle asked Hendrix after checking the time.
Hendrix didn't respond, and Noelle took that to mean that he didn't. So, she turned and walked away with
another word. There was not the slightest hesitation in her movements.
Hendrix watched her retreating figure and suddenly let out a bitter laugh.
Just then, his phone rang. It was someone from Nathan's side.
"Mr. Freeman, Nathan's awake. Do you have anything you want to say to him?"
Hendrix took a deep breath before replying with a curt "yes".
"Got it," the person on the other end responded immediately.
After a few seconds, Hendrix heard Nathan's voice.
"Well, well, if it isn't Hendrix, my dearest brother!"
Though Nathan was still as sarcastic as ever, Hendrix could still detect the weakness in his voice.
"It's shocking that you actually still remember you have a little brother," Nathan added.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHendrix ignored the sarcasm and got straight to the point. "Grandma has passed away."
There was a brief pause on the other end. Then, Nathan laughed and said, "Oh, really? No wonder | thought | saw
her when | was in a coma a few days ago. | guess she was coming to takewith her."
Hendrix remembered how eager Nathan had been to please Ophelia when he first arrived in the family. Even
then, he had seen through him, knowing he wasn't a good person.
So, he couldn't help but feel taken aback when Nathan showed no emotion, whatsoever at the news of Ophelia's
death. Still, he didn't have the tto argue with him over this.
He simply said, "Before she passed, she said she wanted to see you. Unfortunately, she never got the chance.
But her funeral is in three days, and you can cif you want."
Nathan fell silent on the other end. He seemed to be processing what he'd just heard, as if he couldn't believe it.
After a long pause, he finally found his voice. "Hendrix, do you even know what kind of condition I'm in right
now? | got into a car accident. That car ran right over my legs But you know what the funny thing was?
"There were so many bystanders around at the time, yet not a single one was willing to taketo the hospital.
By the t| found someone to takethere, it was already too late. | had to have my legs amputated, and my
wound got infected after the surgery,
"So, I'm stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Now tell me, Hendrix-are you happy with this outcome?"
Nathan's voice began to tremble as he spoke, the hatred within it unmistakable.
Hendrix could, of course, sense it, but
his expression TR upchanged.

It was a long tbefore Nathan finally seemed to regain his composure.
"So, are you planning to bringback?" he asked.
"I have a question for you. If your answer satisfies me, I'll arrange for your return."
"What is it?"
"Was it you who forced Noelle to leaveback then?"
