Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 271 Temporary Affection (Part Two)

Just then, the door opened to reveal Noah.

"I'm here," he stated with a smile.

Finally being able to see him, Carla smiled and extended her hand to him.

She asked, "Noah, are you all right? Did you get injured?"

Noah looked at the woman who was still worried about him despite everything that he had done to her.

He took her hand and smiled bitterly, "I'm all right. My injuries were just external and shallow."

Andrea looked at Noah and Carla, smiling. She stood up and said, "Noah, stay here and take care of

Carla. I'm going to buy some food."

"Okay, we'll be here," Noah said while he promptly nodded.

After Andrea left, Carla lay down on the hospital bed and stared at her leg which was being held up by

bandages from the ceiling. She asked, "Noah, would I be able to walk again in the future?"

"What are you talking about? Of course, you would! It's just a fracture. Besides, you're still so young.

As long as you take good care of yourself, your leg will recover soon," Noah answered with a smile.

And then he took an apple from the table and helped her peel it.

"Really? Okay, I believe you," she said as she smiled at him. She watched him peel the apple but after

a while, she asked, "Noah, what relationship did we have before?" It was apparent that she was

confused. She could not remember anything right then, so she could only ask him. She added, "Why is

it that the only thing I could remember from the accident was that I held you in my arms for a long time?

Besides that, I couldn't remember anything. Why was I so afraid that you will get injured at that time?"

Hearing her words, Noah thought of what she said when the accident was about to happen.

"You saved me before, so it's my turn to save you now!"

When Noah remained quiet, Carla tried again, "Why don't you answer me? Are we... a couple?" Seeing

that Noah was stunned by her words, Carla continued, "If we're not a couple, why did I want to protect

you so much at that time?"

Noah finished peeling the apple then he cut it into small pieces. After which, he picked up a piece with

a toothpick and held it in front of her mouth.

"We are not a couple yet,"

Noah finally answered her.

Carla ate the apple that he gave her and then she looked at him. She thought that maybe she liked him

but he didn't like her. That would explain why she was so nervous when he was in danger.

Seeing Noah's expression right then, she confirmed her hunch that Noah didn't like her.

So she understood why Noah said that they were not a couple yet. He didn't like her so they were just

friends.

But she couldn't figure out why Noah didn't like her, so she asked, "Why? Is it because I'm younger

than you? Oh! That reminds me, how old am I now? Where is my ID card?" She couldn't even

remember her own age right then.

"Here," Noah said, putting a bag in front of her.

Carla immediately took the bag and looked for her ID card inside. When she found her ID card, she

whispered, "Carla Ji. This year, I'm..." She found out that there were more things that she couldn't

remember, so she turned her head and asked Noah, "What year is it now?"

Before Noah could answer her, she saw a mobile phone on the table. She took it and looked at the

date on the screen.

"I'm twenty-three years old but I'm almost twenty-four," she said.

Carla scratched her head and turned to look at Noah. She asked, "Noah, how old are you this year?"

When he looked at her pure and clear eyes, Noah's heart suddenly ached. He forced a smile and

answered, "I'm thirty-two."

"So you're nine years older than me? But I think nine years is not that huge for an age gap. So is that NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

why you don't like me? Because I'm too young?" Carla asked, still convincing that her guess was right.

"What?" Noah was stunned by her words. Earlier, he couldn't understand why she would ask him such

a question. After thinking about it for a while, he finally realized that at that moment, the only one she

could remember was him. So naturally, she would think that he was the one she liked. He could only

force a smile and said, "Carla, you're thinking too much."

Upon hearing his answer, Carla frowned. She continued to wonder why he didn't like her if he didn't

mind her age.

"Well, don't think too much. You should take a rest right now, okay?" Noah helped her lie down. He was

about to leave the ward but as soon as he stood up, Carla grabbed his hand.

"Don't leave just yet. Can't you accompany me? Everything is still so confusing to me. I only remember

you. So don't leave me alone, okay?" Carla looked at him with pleading eyes.

Seeing Carla became so dependent on him all of a sudden, Noah didn't know whether he should feel

happy or sad.

But, of course, he couldn't refuse her so he sat down once again.

He said with a smile, "Okay, I'll be with you. Don't be afraid and just sleep."

Hearing his promise, Carla nodded and gave him a sweet smile. She pulled his arm, leaned on it and

closed her eyes.

At that moment, how Noah wanted to let time stand still.

He thought, 'If only she could be like this forever...'

But the doctor said that her brain impairment would gradually return to normal with the recovery of her

injury and that there was only a small possibility of permanent amnesia.

In other words, her affection and tenderness towards him were just temporary.

Once her injuries were healed, the only one she would give her love to was still Terence.
