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.
