Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 269 Impaired Memory

Noah gave a phone call to the Director of the hospital as soon as he got off the ambulance. He asked

the Director to gather the top doctors of the different departments to attend to Carla.

All departments related to Carla's injuries such as Brain Surgery Department immediately responded to

the call.

Of course, the first and most important thing was to make sure that she was alive!

Carla had just been sent to the emergency ward when Terence arrived at the hospital by plane.

When Terence saw Noah, he approached him immediately with heavy steps. Then, without a single

word, he punched him in the face.

"You listen to me! If anything happened to her, I will make you and the whole Hua Family pay severely

for what you have done today," Terence growled at Noah with great wrath.

Noah did not dodge his punch nor did he say anything. He knew he deserved it.

"Do you really think that I don't have any idea about your plan? You already knew that Carla is the only

child of the Hua Family. She is the rightful heir of the Hua Family's businesses. So you tried to get rid of

her, you selfish bastard!"

Terence shouted in anger. He looked at Noah as he laid bare his plot word by word.

Because of everything that happened that day, there was no need to cover up anything. Almost

everybody knew about Noah's scheme except Carla who was still being treated in the emergency

room.

Noah's silence infuriated Terence more so he grabbed Noah's collar and pushed him against a wall.

"Do not tell me that it was just an accident. I will be damned if I believe it for one second! If it was, then

why is the person lying inside not you, but my girl? Tell me!"

Terence was so furious. Look at Noah, he was perfectly all right except some minor superficial wound.

But what about his Carla? She was still lying there, unconscious. They didn't even know if she would

survive or not.

Terence was filled with fury and he could not calm down at all. Had he known that Noah would be so

cruel-hearted, he would not have let Carla go with him no matter what.

"Though you are unrelated by blood. She is your younger sister! How could you be so heartless to do

that to your sister? You're a piece of shit, Noah!"

Terence cursed at him. After that, Terence loosened his hold on him and turned his head to the

direction of the emergency room.

A couple of hours passed by when

the door of the emergency room was finally opened.

Terence immediately strode towards the doctor and asked, "What is her condition? Is everything all

right? Is she still alive? Please tell me!"

"I'm sorry sir, but what is your relationship with the patient?" the doctor asked. The doctor was confused

when she saw Noah and Terence waiting outside the room.

"Her husband!" Terence answered, getting impatient. The only thing he cared about at that moment

was to know if Carla was alive or not.

However, the doctor did not want to waste his breath if this man was not the patient's family. When he

found out that they were married, he said, "Here's the thing. We reckoned that the patient has a grade

2 to grade 3 concussion. We will check more on this after she wakes up. Besides that, her right calf

was broken and there is a minor fracture on her knees. But all of these were not life-threatening," the

doctor comprehensively explained.

Then, the doctor added, "Generally speaking, she was a lucky girl. If her legs recovered well, there

wouldn't be any long term effects on her. Although we need a more specific observation on her brain's

condition. At least for now, you can be relieved that she's still alive."

Terence let out a sigh of relief when he was informed that Carla was still alive. As for the fractures, he

believed that she would get better soon.

But...

"A grade 2 to grade 3 concussion? What does that mean?" Terence asked with a wince of confusion.

"That is one possible aftereffect which means the patient might have impaired memory. But the

specifics would depend on the patient's recovery. So there is no definite results yet," the doctor

answered him patiently.

Noah, who was standing by on the side was also listening to the doctor. He frowned at the doctor's

words.

It sounded like the concussion was more severe than her fractures.

He was hardly wounded because of the airbag's protection. But there was no airbag on her seat so it

was hard to avoid injuries, much less survive.

Terence did not ask any more questions. So much for doctors, they could only check out the possible

symptoms. Ultimately it would depend on Carla herself.

After a while, Carla was transferred from the emergency room to the VIP ward upstairs.

After more than an hour, Carla gradually woke up.

"Carla? Carla..."

Terence held her hands and called her name again and again. It was killing him to see her bandaged

head.

It seems that the road of going back to her real family was much more dangerous than he thought. He

would rather she never know the truth about herself.

Besides, he never cared who she was from the beginning.

The first thing Carla felt when she woke up was the intense pain on her head. It felt like it was being

split into two. Her mind was in a mess and empty at the same time. She tried to recall everything but

failed because of her headache.

"Noah... Noah..."

She called the name as if by instinct. The only thing she could remember was that she was calling out Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

the name repeatedly before something bad happened to her.

Terence knitted his brows much tighter when he heard Carla call another man's name. There was an

unspeakable feeling in his heart. "Carla, are you awake?"

Suddenly, Carla opened her eyes, took a large gulp of air and stared at the white ceiling. After a little

while, she gradually turned her eyes to the man holding her hands beside her.

"Te..."

She babbled out a couple of letters but failed to speak out his name. She unconsciously touched her

bandaged head with one hand. She could hardly think about anything due to the pain on her head.

"Carla? Doctor! Come here! Doctor!" Terence shouted at the doctor who was talking to Noah outside

the ward as soon as he saw Carla wake up.

The doctor and Noah entered the room at once.

Immediately, the doctor looked into her physical condition and asked a few questions.

"Miss Carla, do you remember anything about the accident?"

Carla did not answer the question. Instead, she continued touching the bandage on her head and

asked a string of questions. "What is wrong with me? Why does it hurt so much? Why can't I remember

anything?"

The doctor quickly stopped Carla from dragging the bandage. "Miss Carla, please calm down. It is very

normal to feel pain. It will take a couple of days for your brain to recover after a severe crash. So

please don't worry and calm down. It is getting better," the doctor explained, in an attempt to calm her

down or else she'll make her situation worse.

Carla did not ask any more questions. What she didn't know was that her condition was more serious

than she thought.

Looking at Carla from the foot of her bed, Terence felt a knife stabbing him in his heart. He walked

towards her and held her hands, looked her in the eye and asked with a trembling voice, "Carla, tell

me, who am I? Please tell me."

Carla thought that his face was familiar but she could not remember his name.

"T...Te..."

She could only recall a couple of letters but the name just wouldn't come up to her for a while.

"Don't worry, Mr. Terence. Most patients will exhibit symptoms of memory impairment after an operation

and some of them will return to normal within a few days. Do not push her to recall something at this

moment. She needs a good rest.

Miss Carla still remembers a couple of letters from your name, which is enough to prove that you're still

in her memory. So you can rest assured for now.

I've already checked up on her. There is little likelihood of amnesia. But she is likely to get her memory

confused these days," the doctor informed Terence.

After hearing what the doctor said, Terence loosened her hand and turned to the doctor, "Doctor, could

you please arrange the transfer documents? I'm going to take her back to JA City for further treatment."

"Terence, you can not take her away," Noah said as soon as Terence spoke his intentions.

"Why? She's my girlfriend and she's injured right now. I need to take care of her. Besides, you don't

have the right to say anything about it!" Terence firmly told Noah with an ice-cold tone.

"If I entrust you to take care of her, are you going to give me her lifeless body when I come here next

time?"

Terence spluttered. He lost control of his emotions once again. He thought that all of this would not end

in a simple car accident. He could not let her stay in HA City alone. Who knew what was going to

happen to her tomorrow?

Would Noah let her go that easily?

Their conversation bewildered Carla. She had no idea what they were talking about at all. Noah noticed

that and told Terence, "Maybe we can continue talking about this outside."
