Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 198 It's Not All About Business, You Know

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.

It seemed like Carla treated Noah like a brother.

She secretly felt some sort of a relief since she realized that Carla and Noah weren't lovers.

If Carla was his new girlfriend, then she should have been mad and even sent her away.

"Julie, thank you so much for understanding! Noah, I got to go now. Goodbye!"

Carla took the bag with her and waved at them.

Noah spoke, "Alright. Let me call my driver to bring you back to the hotel." When he took out his phone,

Carla stopped him.

"Thanks a lot, Noah, but there's no need to. Rainer is already outside. He'll drive me back."

Noah's eyes widened. 'Terence is here?' he thought.

"Very well. Be safe," he smiled warmly.

Carla nodded and bid goodbye to Julie before taking her leave.

Once Carla was already gone, his smile faded away from his face. He asked coldly, "Why are you even

here?"

Julie hugged him when she saw him sitting on the bed due to injuries. Then she immediately jumped

back to her senses and took her hands off from him. "We've been together for so many years. I care so

much about you so I just wanted to pay you a visit. Is it bad?" Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Noah gave her a cold stare and leaned back. He took a book from the bedside table and spoke, "You

have already visited me so you should leave now. If you know me well, then you know I don't like

holding onto the past."

Julie felt her heart stop. She was already considered past for him.

She gave a bitter smile.

"Is it... is it because of Carla?"

Noah was frozen when he was about to turn the pages. "You don't have any right to ask me. The

reason is none of your business."

Julie bit her lower lip as she looked at his indifferent face. She thought she already knew him a little bit

since they spent all these years together.

It looked like she only overestimated herself.

She couldn't understand his relationship with Carla. If he really loved her, why wasn't he pursuing her

now that he was single?

Why did he care about her so much? What he had done for Carla was really out of her imagination.

He risked himself in order to protect Carla. Julie didn't even thought that Noah would do the same for

her.

"Noah, for the sake of our relationship in the past, could you let me stay here to take care of you? Even

for only a couple of days?"

Julie pleaded, "Please?"

If she missed this opportunity, she would never see him again.

Noah didn't bother to remove his gaze from the book. "You do know that there are nurses here, don't

you? Do you think you are more qualified than them?"

"B-But it's not the same! I have taken care of you for the past four years! I know you better than any of

them!" Julie spoke up.

How could he even compare her to the nurses?

Noah finally looked at Julie menacingly. "Julie, do you think I am a man who clings to the past?"

He was the type of a man who would cast away anything once it was useless.

Julie was allowed to stay with him because he saw her as a bed partner. When loneliness would strike

him, he would come to her. It was always convenient whenever he got the desire.

Not to mention, she obeyed him and was considerate. She knew what should and shouldn't do. She

didn't poke her nose into his business. That was why he had let her stay for four years.

"N-Noah... Have you ever thought about the future? It's not all about business, you know. Do you really

think you can find someone more suitable than me?" Julie's tears flowed on her face. Her voice was

laced with melancholy.

She wanted to talk to Noah badly, even if he didn't want to see her anymore.
