Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 200

Now that Terence had finally got rid of Bonnie, everything was way easier. Carla didn't want to ask Terence to help her about her work related problems. She knew he would but those were for her to deal with.

The Hua family's issue should be solved by themselves. In the end, she and Terence were just some people from the outside world to them and she knew that was how it would remain.

Soon enough the car stopped in front of the hospital, just close enough to the gate. Carla got out of the car alone and went straight inside.

"Noah? Have you had dinner yet?"

she shouted standing at the door the room, carrying the dinner box. Carla decided to enter straightly this time, and the bodyguard wouldn't dare stop her.

However, she was afraid of Julie being there. 'It would be awkward to bump into them being intimate again, ' she thought.

"The door's not locked. Come in!"

Noah shouted back from the inside.

She opened the door gently. For a brief moment she glanced around and saw just a nurse inside. Assured there was nobody else, she came in, smiling at him.

Noah had just taken another injection of the medicine and the nurse was wrapping the bandage for him.

Carla put down the meal box and came to help the nurse, handling her the scissors.

Then she approached Noah; she couldn't help but bite her lip in silence and shock. Despite the thin layer of the gauze around the wound, she saw it open clearly for the first time. The wound had become larger, as it was cleaned every day. Stitches and swollen skin were going in fishnet beneath the surface of the bandage.

"Are you frightened?" said Noah, looking at her, sensing her shock.

Carla was frightened indeed, her eyes wide open, tears coming up. But only after the nurse finished wrapping and left, Carla dared to come closer and hand him his clothes.

"Noah, did it hurt?" asked Carla almost whispering, looking at him with wet eyes. She wouldn't allow herself to cry in front of him but the view was heartbreaking.

The woman imagined having a wound like this. It would definitely hurt like hell and an ugly scar was inevitable. She knew he had to accept it.

"A little, but now I'm fine," replied Noah, pointing at the bandage on his chest. He took his clothes and put it on. "It's okay. The doctor said that it's not severe. All I need to do is to rest a lot."

Carla helped him to put his shirt on, gently holding a sleeve. But she was worried and said, "Don't lie to me. The doctor told me that it was very close to your heart. If the beer bottle was thicker, you would have died."

The silence filled the room. Both of them couldn't say a word. He was as afraid, but for nothing on this world, he should show it. "Let me help you,"

said Carla, looking at him buttoning his shirt awkwardly. She sat by the bed and patiently buttoned it up for him.

Noah let her do it gladly. He was watching Carla button his shirt carefully and he couldn't help but smile. "Carla, I heard that you were waiting outside the emergency room the whole time during the surgery. So... did you meet my parents?" asked Noah.

"Yes, I met them," said Carla casually. After she was done helping him with his shirt, she went to the table and poured some porridge into a bowl.

Noah looked down and hesitated for a moment. His dark brown eyes were unsure for the question, "Did they say something after seeing you?"

Carla took a spoon and reached his mouth. "No, they didn't. They don't know me.

But they are really nice people. Bonnie tried to blame me, but they didn't say anything to back her up."

Thinking about that, Carla smiled and continued, "I think your parents are just like you - kind and polite. You are all nice people."

Noah took the porridge and stirred it with the spoon. He laughed out gently. "Carla, I don't think I am a good person", he said shaking his head.

Carla was a bit embarrassed. "I think you are," she replied smiling at him and winking playfully.

"You saved my life twice. So for me, you are the best person!"

She knew that there was not a clear line between a good person and a bad person. One moment could completely change who you were. But he was her hero and she didn't deny it.

Noah enjoyed a special status, which would definitely occur jealousy and hate from other people. It was normal he had enemies.

He took a sip of her porridge. 'How delicious it was! Or was it because she made it?'

"How does it taste? Do you like it?" Carla leaned closer and asked with a smile.

"Not bad! The time was well-controlled," Noah took one more sip and gave his approval.

Carla nervously slid fingers through her hair and smiled happily. She couldn't believe that Noah just complimented her cooking. Sean on the other hand always criticized her for being a bad cook.

"Great. I'm glad you like it."

"What are you talking about!? You've put great efforts in it! It's delicious!" He chuckled and looked up at her.

Carla smiled and didn't say anything. It took her a couple of times to make a successful dish, as she would always get distracted while cooking and burn it.

Later she eventually improved her cooking skills through constant practice and now she was much more confident in the kitchen.

After Noah finished eating and Carla helped him clean, she sighed softly.

"What happened? Why did you sigh?" asked Noah, seeing her worried face.

Carla pulled a chair and sat down closer to his bed. "I don't want to talk about it. It's my work stuff. How can I bother you again?" said Carla as she sighed again.

"You are an injured man now. How can I let you worry about my own business?"

Noah wasn't stupid; he could read between the lines. "Alright, just tell me," he said with a smile, his dark eyes softly gazing at her.

She knew that was the cue she had been waiting for. "Okay... So this it what happened, Noah..." Carla turned to him

and started telling him about the incident at work.

"I'm worried that it was your sister Bonnie who set me up."

"I will have someone investigate everything about it. Tomorrow you'll have the answer", he said.

"Oh my God! Great! Thanks, Noah!" said Carla cheerfully, with a smile on her face. She couldn't quite express how grateful she was for everything he was doing for her!

Although Noah was hurt, the Hua family was responsible for solving the problem if the problem was Bonnie indeed.

They chatted randomly for a while. She wanted to talk about something else and he wanted to know how she was doing.

Suddenly, the door opened.

Seeing people coming, Carla stood up and bowed politely.

"Mrs. Andrea, how are you?" she asked.

Andrea was slightly surprised, as she didn't expect Carla to be here. She ordered the servant to bring in the soup that she made at home and came closer to them.

Andrea nodded to Carla with a polite smile and turned to her son.

"Noah, who is this?"

"Mother, she's Carla, a girl that I met in BH City," he replied. "She's an amazing woman and a very interesting person."

Hearing that she was from BH City, Andrea's interest was intrigued. "Carla, do you have someone else in your family? From BH City?" Andrea asked.

Yesterday when she first saw her, Andrea felt Carla somewhat familiar. This was more an intuition than a logical feeling.

At home she told Allen about her, but he asked her to calm down and do not put so much hope into it.

After all those years every hope turned into disappointment.

"Oh, I have a brother," answered Carla in surprise. She didn't expect Andrea to ask her about her family.

"Noah, tell me what's your relationship with Carla?" Andrea couldn't help but ask.

She wouldn't believe that they were just pure friends. Her son saved this girl's life at his own risk! There must be something going on.

Before Noah could answer, Carla explained, "Mrs. Andrea, you must have misunderstood. Noah is like my brother. He has always taken care of me.

Besides, I..." She hesitated for a moment but decided to continue nevertheless, "I have a boyfriend. He's in JA City."

'You probably know him, ' she wanted to add that, but swallowed it. Something in her heart wouldn't let her continue.
