Carla was eating peacefully in the outer room. Then she felt her food got stuck in her throat when she heard Bonnie's voice. If Bonnie decided to come inside, she would surely see her first.
She immediately gulped down the food with a glass of water.
'Ah, here we go again, ' Carla rolled her eyes. She knew that Bonnie would start mocking once she stepped into the room. So she prepared herself.
The moment she stood up from her seat, the door suddenly opened.
Bonnie's lips formed a small "o" when her eyes and Carla's met. She couldn't help but glare. She thought that Carla had left since she ordered the guards to keep her away.
How did she get inside the room?
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe there is someone so thick-faced to be in this room! What do you think, Julie?
I am Noah's little sister and you're his girlfriend. So what is this whore to Noah? Some sort of a petty pastime, perhaps?"
Bonnie raised a eyebrow at Carla with Julie following her from behind.
Carla was surprised that Julie came with her.
But then, Julie was Noah's girlfriend so she was right to be here. She probably have heard about Noah's injury not too long ago and hurried to the hospital.
Bonnie grabbed Julie's hand and glared at Carla. "Let's go, Julie. I'll take you to see my brother. Who needs to waste time looking at her slut face anyway?"
Julie was pulled along with Bonnie. When she heard that Noah got hurt, she hurried to the hospital. It was the first time he got severely injured since they had been together.
She knew very well that Noah might refuse to see her so she asked Bonnie to take her along.
She entered Noah's hospital room.
Bonnie let her in alone. She folded her arms in front of her chest, as if guarding the room. She glared at Carla and spat out, "Carla Ji, you bitch! How dare you show your face here? But I really have to ask. Who do you like at all? Terence? My brother?" Then she proceeded to gasp dramatically, "Or maybe you love them both?"
Carla silently stood up from the sofa and asked the nurse to clean the table. Then she coldly turned to Bonnie. "Take a wild guess, honey. I have no time to deal with you."
Why would she even bother talking nicely to Bonnie anyway?
Carla wanted to bid Noah goodbye before leaving. She didn't want to stay any longer in the same room with the owl-faced Bonnie.
The door was half-closed. It somehow opened when she was about to knock.
When she was about to say her goodbyes, she looked at Julie who leaned on Noah's shoulder, sobbing loudly.
"Uhm... Noah, Julie, pardon me for the intrusion. I just want to say that I'm leaving now,"
Carla said awkward, fidgeting her fingers together.
"Come in, Carla," Noah spoke up when he heard her voice.
"H-Huh?" Carla looked at him in shock but still obliged. "What's the matter?"
Noah pointed at a bag on chair. "I had my men bring all your stuff here. Please check if all your items are there.
It's fortunate we managed to stop things before it's too late. I'll deal with Bonnie later."
Carla walked toward the chair and opened the bag. She scanned its content and replied, "They are all here. Thank you so much, Noah. I owe you one.
Julie, I would like to apologize! Noah got injured because of me. I am really really sorry!"
She gave Julie an apologetic bow.
Julie's eyes shifted from Carla's face and Noah's back and forth. Then she gave a gentle smile. "Carla, don't worry. I owed you an apology last time.
Besides, it's not your fault."
Judging from the conversation between them, Julie knew that Bonnie did something horrible to Carla this time even if Noah didn't say anything to her.
She also noticed that he didn't tell her that they had split up. There wasn't a hint of jealousy in Carla's face when she saw her and Noah together.
