"It's you! It's you again! You're such a bitch. You've already stolen my fiance away from me. Isn't that enough? And this time, you even want to take away my brother. You are the reason he's here in the hospital. He saved you at the risk of his own life,"
Bonnie shouted at Carla as she briskly walked towards her. The second she was close enough, Bonnie raised her hand in an attempt to slap Carla in the face.
Fortunately, Carla was quick enough to stop Bonnie just in time. Holding on to Bonnie's hand, Carla leered at her with a sneer. "You have it all wrong. Your brother got hurt, not because of me but because of YOU! If you hadn't planned all of those things to hurt me, this wouldn't have happened! How could you do this to your own brother?" Carla couldn't help but burst and gave into her emotions.
If Bonnie hadn't schemed to ruin Carla, Noah wouldn't have gotten hurt by saving her life.
"What are you talking about? That's bullshit," Bonnie cried out. Bonnie's eyes flashed from left to right. She couldn't accept that it was her own doing that placed her brother's life in danger. She was so angry that she grabbed Carla's hand and dragged her towards her family. "Dad, mom, this is Carla. She is the reason Terence decided to call off our engagement.
Even though she knew Terence and I were engaged, she still insisted to live in his villa and be with him every day. Gradually, Terence fell in love with her. As a result, in order to protect her, he broke off our engagement,"
Bonnie accused as she yanked Carla in front of her parents.
Andrea and Allen looked at each other before fixing their eyes on the outlandish girl in front of them.
"Allen, look at her. She looks..." Andrea started to speak but couldn't finish her thoughts. From the first time Andrea saw Carla, she couldn't help but ask her husband why this particular girl looked exactly like him. The eyes, the nose, the lips; the resemblance was undeniable.
"Well, Andrea, the most important thing right now is for Noah to wake up. As for everything else, let's talk about it later, okay?" Allen coughed and interrupted his wife.
'Certainly, Andrea is just too nervous with Noah's condition and she must be missing our long lost daughter so much. So she thought that this girl in front of us is our daughter. We have been looking for her for so many years. How can we be that lucky to meet her in a place and time when we aren't looking? It can't be such a coincidence, '
Allen thought carefully.
Andrea nodded her head and then said to Bonnie, "Bonnie, the past belongs to the past. Just let it go. Besides, you really need to review your social etiquette. Your brother is critically injured right now. Why are you still in a mood to dredge up the past?"
"Mom…" Bonnie stamped her feet. All she could do then was glare at Carla and angrily shook off her arm.
While York, who was standing beside them, glanced at Carla from the corner of his eyes.
It took the doctors seven or eight hours to do the operation on Noah.
When the operation was finally over, Carla wanted to rush in and take care of him. But after looking around at the rest of the people in the room, she stopped. She couldn't just come to his side. She didn't have the right. After all, she was not family to Noah.
