StarNovelChapter 401 Startled, Noelle glanced at Cedric beside her and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?" The sudden braking surprised her, and she thought something had happened.
"I got distracted for a moment," Cedric replied. He stared at the cars ahead, and his mind went blank as he wondered if the Liddells had found out.

As they arrived at the hospital, Noelle glanced outside and said, "You can go ahead if you have anything else to deal with. I'll just grab a cab." "I'll be here waiting for you." Cedric's gaze was deep and unwavering. He needed answers the answer that concerned him.
Noelle nodded and turned to leave, but before she could walk away, Cedric called out, "Noelle." She turned back and saw him hesitating to speak. Frowning slightly, she walked back to the car and asked, "What is it?" Cedric's hands were damp with sweat. Then, he pressed his lips together and said, "It's nothing." "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't drag it out." "I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll always be your strongest support." Noelle smiled. "Got it. I'll text you if anything happens." With that, she turned and walked into the hospital.
As Cedric watched her disappear from sight with an unreadable expression, he couldn't help lighting up a cigarette. Thad never felt so unbearably slow. Had this day finally come? Noelle entered Frank's ward and saw James persuading the former to eat.
As soon as Frank saw her, his face lit up with joy. "You're here, Noelle. Have you had lunch? If I'd known, I would've sent James to pick you up." "No need. I decided to cat the very last minute," she coolly replied. Her eyes were cold as she looked at Frank and demanded, "I want to know the truth about the accident." "Ms. Liddell, could you wait until Mr. Liddell finishes his meal? His stomach..." "No need. I'm not hungry. Let's not keep Noelle waiting." Frank cut off James' words and moved to get out of bed. Spotting the bruises on the back of his hand from multiple IV injections, Noelle lowered her gaze slightly. "You should eat first." James was pleasantly surprised. "Look. Even Ms. Liddell is telling you to eat. Shouldn't you at least listen to her?" Frank hesitated before sitting back down to pick up his spoon.
As he ate, he wiped the welling tears in his eyes and mumbled, "It's been so long since our family sat down for a meal together." He remembered how Noelle used to cook for their family gatherings. She'd always make sure everyone's preferences were considered.

But ever since she left, the Liddells had never gathered again. The Liddell residence in Yasnia had since remained empty and lifeless. Noelle said nothing, and the ward plunged into eerie silence. As he watched Frank eat, James smiled at Noelle and said, "Mr. Liddell hasn't been eating well lately. It seems only you can convince him." "Don't put such a label on me. I did nothing." Noelle was wary of such statements. James hurriedly apologized. "That's not what I meant."
After finishing his meal, Frank watched as James cleaned UB and left the ward. It was only then that Noelle finally spoke. "Could you tellnow?"
"Investigation for the accident has ended, Noelle. If you don't remember anything, why burden yourself with it? Khowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing sometimes."
