Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 117 What Happened To Your Face

In a hospital of JA City, Bonnie was standing outside the ward shifting impatiently from one leg to the

other. She murmured, "Where's Terence? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Sometime later— Terence still hadn't made an appearance.

"Miss Bonnie, I've found something out for you,"

said Burton Wang striding up to her in the corridor. Burton Wang had been working for the Huas for

many years. He was one of the people from her inner circle that she trusted to find important

information for her. Bonnie had asked him to find some information about the woman who had spilled

chili oil on her face.

"Come in,"

Bonnie said as she gestured for Burton Wang to enter her room. She took one last look down the

corridor to see if she might catch sight of Terence before she went back to the ward. But she was left

feeling extremely disappointed.

"Tell me what have you learned about her?" Bonnie sat on the hospital bed and picked up a hand

mirror. She looked at her eyes and was pleased to see that the swelling had gone down a little. It made

her blood boil when she thought about what happened at the restaurant yesterday and her anger flared

again.

"The woman's name is Carla Ji. She is twenty-three years old and she has ten-year-old brother. They

live in BH City. The reason why they are here is that her brother was chosen to study in a school of JA

City because of his good grades,"

Burton Wang spoke in a hushed tone as he handed the file to Bonnie.

She took the file and read over them for a moment.

Bonnie paid little attention to the quarrel in her family but either way, she was sure that there was no

possibility for her to get even a penny from her brothers. Hence, she didn't know what was going on.

Another thing that she didn't know was that Noah already had his eyes on Carla and her brother.

When she saw the photo of Carla and her brother together her brows furrowed slightly.

"It turns out that this country bumpkin is a nobody from BH City. How dare she lay a finger on me! Have

you done a background check on her yet?"

Bonnie asked again.

'Why is she so arrogant? She must have someone powerful on her side to give her that sort of

confidence, ' thought Bonnie.

"I'm sorry Miss Bonnie. I'm not sure about her background. If I paid another visit to BH City now, it

would use up too much time. At present that's all the information that I have on her for now," Burton

Wang answered truthfully. His ability was limited and it wasn't easy for him to get that sort of

information anyway.

Bonnie threw the files angrily onto the table. Then she scoffed with exasperation, "Burton Wang, go to

the school that her brother is attending and arrange for something to happen so that her brother is

expelled from the school. I don't care what you do I want them out of JA City.

If her brother is expelled from the school then they have no reason to stay here any longer."

Burton Wang hesitated for a moment in thought and then said, "Miss Bonnie, we don't have much

influence here in JA City. If you want to get your revenge, why don't you ask the Ans for help? What do

you think?"

Bonnie thought about it for a moment and then said, "Don't worry. Just do what I asked you. I'll take the

consequences for your actions."

"Okay!"

Burton Wang nodded and then he left

The following evening

in an apartment, Carla was making soup. When she heard the door open she peeped through the

kitchen door.

"Sean, are you there? Are you back from school?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Yeah," Sean replied thickly as he entered the room with his head hanging down.

Carla didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. She tasted the soup to see if it needed more salt and

found that it was just right. Removing the pot from the stove she wiped her hands onto a towel and

called out, "Sean, dinner is ready. Come out of your room."

Giving the dinner table a quick wipe with the table cloth she waited for him to come out.

"Sean, did you hear me?"

Carla marched to the entrance of his bedroom and when she tried to open the door she found that it

was locked. That was when she knew that something was wrong with her brother.

She knocked hard on the door. "Sean, why have you locked the door? Come out of your room now and

have dinner with me."

She banged harder on the door and pressed her ear up against it to try to hear a sound. But Sean

refused to answer or open the door.

Carla began to feel very anxious. Then she remembered that she had an extra set of keys. Quickly, she

went to get them and immediately opened the door.

After she had unlocked the door and barged in she saw that Sean had his head down on the desk.

"Sean? What's wrong with you?"

Carla was taken aback when she saw him like that. She tugged at his arm for him to lift his head up but

he refused.

So she knelt down to his eye level and that was when she saw his face.

Carla was so shocked that she put her hand over her mouth to stifle a cry.

"Sean, did you have a fight with someone? What happened? Let me have a better look at your face."

Seeing that her brother was beaten black and blue Carla felt a pang in her heart. "It's okay, Sean. I'm

your sister. Just lift your head up and let me have a look at your face."

Sean slowly raised his head and turned to face her with his eyes downcast.

It didn't even look like him.

Sean was a good-looking boy and always had good grades. A lot of girls at his school liked him very

much. But the way he looked now, his own sister could hardly recognize him.

"Oh, Sean! Who the hell did this to you?

Tell me now Sean Ji! Whoever did this to you is going to pay big time!"

The right side of Sean's face was completely swollen. He had a nasty bump on his forehead and a left

black eye.

Carla was enraged.

At that moment she was so furious that she couldn't help swearing.

Sean kept wiping his tears away with his sleeve and spoke in a choked voice, "After school I wanted to

borrow some books from the library. On my way there I saw a kid who is younger than me. He fell, so I

went to help him up.

But then some senior students rushed over and they accused me of bullying the younger kid. Then

they all started to hit me. I was no match for them so I couldn't defend myself.

Fortunately, several minutes later a teacher came out and stopped them. Otherwise, I don't know if they

would have stopped beating me. They told the teacher that I was bullying the younger kid. But what

made me feel really mad was that the kid said—

he said that the senior students were telling the truth!

The teacher told us that he was going to report the incident to the school director. So I will probably get

kicked out of the school."

Sean then burst into tears. Through bouts of sobbing he said, "Carla, I didn't do anything to hurt him.

I was really helping him. That's the truth. I was hit by them. But I'm more worried that I may be kicked

out of school. What will I do if that happens?"

After Carla heard the whole story she was frantic.

"It's obvious that they are bullying us! What was wrong with that teacher? You were attacked by senior

students. Didn't he notice that and do something about it?"

Carla yelled feeling extremely angry at the teacher and those students. Her brother got hurt. Instead of

showing any concern for Sean, the teacher threatened to kick him out of the school. It was

inappropriate for the teacher to do that. 'That was outrageous!' thought Carla.

" Carla, I'm not worried about those boys. I just don't want to be kicked out. I love that school and I

really hope to have a chance to continue to study there,"

Sean said feeling worried.

Carla took deep breaths trying to calm herself down. She looked for a medicine cabinet but since it

wasn't their home, she didn't find one.

She rushed to a drugstore that was downstairs and bought some medicine.

Even though Carla gave him some medicine and tended to his cuts she was still very worried about his

injuries. She thought it would be best that a doctor did an examination to make sure that he didn't have

any broken bones or any brain swelling.

"Hello! Where are you now?"

Carla left Sean's bedroom and called Terence on the cellphone.

Terence didn't stay with Carla tonight because Bonnie had asked him to have dinner at home. After

dinner, his father asked him to stay a little longer. So he decided to spend the night there.

"I'm at my father's home. What's the matter? Don't tell me that you still want to return the rings. Since I

have sent them to you I won't take them back," said Terence walking to the yard with the phone in his

hand.

"No, it's not about that. Are you available? Can you come here? I need your help."

Right now Carla was in no mood to talk about the rings with him. She was filled with white-hot rage.

And she was terribly worried about her little brother hoping that everything would be all right.

"Do you want me to come there now?"

Terence asked glancing at his watch. Just a few minutes ago his father asked to play a few rounds of

chess with him.

"Just tell me whether you can come here or not!"

Carla was direct with him because she was in a hurry to take Sean to the hospital and it was too hard

to explain it all on the phone to Terence.

"Carla what happened?" Terence sensed that something had happened by the tone in her voice.

Although he didn't know what had happened, yet in his mind, he was already thinking of a reason to tell

his father why he had to leave.

Tears welled in her eyes and she sobbed.

Through clenched teeth she said, "Sean was beaten up by some senior students in his school. I am

worried about him and want to take him to a hospital.

I'm not familiar with JA City and don't know any doctor in the hospital. So I had no choice but to ask you

for help."

Terence stopped in his tracks and said, "I'll be there in a second!"
