Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 283

"Noah, how is our father?"

the man asked. From his voice alone, Noah knew that it was no other than his second brother, York.

"He still couldn't get out of bed," Noah said while he walked down the corridor, heading towards the elevator. He didn't even look back at York.

Staring at Noah's back with a sullen look, York shouted, "Noah, why did you do that?"

Noah stopped and turned around slowly.

"Are you trying to hurt us? If Carla didn't come back, we'll all get what we want. Am I right? But you brought her back and told our father about her true identity!"

York said with a puzzled look on his face. Then he approached Noah and continued, "We're all adopted children of the Hua Family so we should be in the same boat. But…but it seems like you're trying to sabotage us. Why?

Without Carla, Allen would have equally divided the family estate of the Hua Family even if he was unwilling to do it. That way, neither of us would have suffered huge losses.

But now, what could we do?

All that we're going to have now is just a small part of our family estate. How can we possibly make a fortune out of that?"

With a bitter smile, Noah responded, "You're right. Sometimes, we're all in the same boat. But most of the time, we only care about our own interests, am I right?" He didn't want to listen to York's wretched statements. After all, they had lived under the same roof for so many years, so they knew each other well enough to know their thoughts and intentions.

In the Hua Family, none of them were Allen's biological children. In order to get their father's praise, they were all scrambling for power and status. They kept on doing their best to improve their abilities.

"But despite that, we should be united as one at this critical moment!" York raised his voice while he approached Noah with a grim look. "Noah, Carla's existence is a huge threat to us. If she's alive, we'll all come to a bitter end!"

As a matter of fact, York had tried to murder Carla before but he failed.

Since then, Carla had been protected by Terence so it had been difficult for York to seize the right opportunity to get rid of her.

Looking at York's covetous eyes, Noah glared at him and said, "York, I'll keep her safe and sound. I won't let you hurt her.

Now that she had already met our parents, it's too late for you to deal with her. At this point, if something happens to her, do you think Mother and Father will forgive you? Who do you think they'll be suspicious of when that happens? And if they prove that you're behind it, you won't have the chance to get a penny of our parents' family estate.

You've always been a wise man. Why would you want to do something stupid at this moment?"

After which, Noah tapped York hard on the shoulder and turned away.

Then, Noah hurried downstairs to Carla's ward.

He knocked on the door for a few seconds but no one answered. So he turned the handle of the door and went in.

Noah furrowed his brows when he found out that the room was dark. Since Carla didn't turn the light on, Noah didn't know if she was asleep.

At that moment, Carla was lying on the bed with her eyes open. With the light turned off all the time, her eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the room. So as soon as Noah came in, she recognized him.

"Noah..." she called him in a gentle voice.

With his hand on the switch, Noah was about to turn the light on when he heard Carla's voice again. "Don't turn it on right now! The light will blind me."

"Hmmm," he said softly and did as he was asked. He stood at the door for a moment until his eyes adjusted to the darkness inside the room. Then he came over to her bed.

"It's not yet time to sleep! Why did you turn the light off?" Noah asked with a confused look. He came closer to Carla and looked for her hand on the bed. When he finally found her hand and held it, he said, "Did you feel bad about seeing your biological father?"

Staring at the ceiling in the dark, Carla sighed softly. A lot of thoughts and emotions were indeed going through her but she didn't know how to make sense of them or even express any of them. One thing she was sure of was that she felt sad.

"Noah, what do you think of my Father?" Carla asked.

She thought of her foster father and how he had always been kind and amiable. Even if he lost his temper sometimes, he would always try to make her happy.

She wondered if Allen was like him.

Suddenly she felt envious of Bonnie. While she had longed for fatherly love, Bonnie had basked in attention and love from her father for so many years.

Carla had only just met her own father and what was worse, her father was close to death now.

After thinking about it for a moment, Noah replied, "You'll get to know him later. But I know that he particularly loves his daughters. So, if you would like to stay with him, I could imagine that he would adore you very much."
