Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 272

For the past two days, Carla had been lying still on the bed. Her leg was still in a cast, hanging from the ceiling. In all honesty, she felt dull and suffocated.

The only good thing about the rest and treatment that she had been receiving was that she was feeling much better. The pain in her head had subsided and she had managed not to think about any bothersome matters.

Though she was physically getting better, she felt somewhat helpless because she needed to stay on the bed all day. She was eager to get up and walk around but she wasn't allowed to do so. Besides, it was not like she could.

To distract her mind, Noah filled the cabinet in the ward with books that she could read and games that she could play on the television set. However, she couldn't concentrate on one book for a long time

because sitting for too long also gave her pain.

That day, while she was sitting idly on the bed, she suddenly heard a gruff voice from outside of her ward.

"I was wondering why my brother kept on going to this floor. Now I see that it's all because of you," a young pretty woman sharply told her as soon as she opened the door to the ward.

Bonnie was about to visit her father upstairs when she found out that Noah had been visiting this ward frequently. She was curious so she followed him to check it out.

What she didn't expect was to find Carla in there.

"Your brother?" Carla asked, obviously unaware of what Bonnie was talking about.

Carla observed the woman in front of her from head to toe, trying so hard to remember who she was. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember her at all. All Carla knew was that this woman was familiar.

With her head held high and her high heels clacking the hospital floor, Bonnie approached Carla. When she saw Carla's leg in a cast, she burst into a chain of derisive laughter. "Whoops! You really got hurt this time. Ah? How about your head? Did you hit it? Is it all right?" Bonnie mocked her while she laughed loudly.

Then she continued, "How many is this? Can you even count with your brain right now?"

She waved her fingers in front of Carla's face.

Although Carla couldn't remember her, she decided then and there that this woman must be an enemy.

So Carla adjusted her posture. She then raised the corner of her lips and retorted, "Don't worry. I'm perfectly fine."

Bonnie eyed Carla and she realized that she was fixed on the bed and couldn't move. Then she smirked and stated, "Your quick tongue can't help you now. Look at yourself. Do you think you can win over me this time?"

With that, Bonnie took a cup of water and held it near Carla's bed. Then, she shook it violently and the water spilled on Carla's hospital gown.

"What are you doing?"

Carla cried, scowling at the crazy woman.

"What am I doing? Can't you see it?" Bonnie pressed on her words. Then, she poured the remaining water in the cup on Carla's face. "I'm giving you what you deserve, bitch! How do you have the nerve to stay in HA City?" Bonnie screamed at her. Carla could see the rage in her eyes as if she was really mad at her. Then, Bonnie continued, "What are you doing here? Are you trying to seduce my brother again? You slut! You want to take both cities with your dirty hands?"

Carla didn't say anything. She just closed her eyes as water ran down on her face and clothes.

Staring at the crazy woman in front of her, Carla gently wiped her face with one hand while she stealthily reached the other hand under her pillow.

Despite her current brain impairment, Carla was still Carla.

Carla would never allow herself to be humiliated or bullied by anybody.

Under the pillow was a knife which she had found in her bag. If this woman dared to hurt her, she would destroy her face.

"Bonnie? What are you doing there?"

As soon as Carla got hold of the knife, she heard Noah's voice from the door. She immediately pushed the knife back.

"Noah?" When Bonnie saw Noah enter the room, she immediately stepped back from the bed. Her face was unexpectedly tense.

Noah quickly examined the situation in front of him. When he saw that Carla's clothes were drenched with water, he immediately knew what had happened. He furrowed his brows and turned to Bonnie. Dropping her head and instinctively avoiding Noah's accusing eyes, Bonnie stepped a few steps back.

Although Bonnie was the closest to Noah in their family, she feared him the most.

Fully aware that Noah was about to burst in anger, Bonnie took the chance to slip away swiftly.

Noah watched as Bonnie ran out of the room. He sighed deeply before turning back to Carla.

"Sorry, Carla. I apologized for her," he sincerely said.

Carla tugged at her drenched hospital gown that was starting to cling onto her body. She smiled bitterly and stated, "That's alright. I can change. Although, could you please ask the hospital for more gowns. Just in case something happens next time. I'd better have another one to change into."

Noah called the nurse's station and then they were silent after that. After a few seconds, Carla said, "Well, I saw on my ID card that I'm from BH City. How about this? Transfer me to the hospital in my hometown. I probably have a family there, right? I can't stay here and bother you anymore."
