Chapter 276 Why Must It Be Miss Carla (Part One)
"Yes, but just a little bit. Tell me then, is all of that true? Did you really put your life on the line just to
save me?" Carla asked, staring intently straight into his eyes.
Without saying a word, Noah simply nodded gently.
Upon confirming it, Carla, with her arms wrapped around him, immediately hugged him much tighter
and blurted out, "So you lied to me when you said you didn't love me. But why would you risk your life
for someone like me? I'm not even a part of your family. If it's not love, then how would you explain it to
me?"
What other reason would a man have for jumping at the jaws of death just to save a woman who wasn't
even related to him other than being interested in her?
"Is that the only thing you were able to remember today? Is there anything else?" Noah tried to make
sure, feeling quite anxious about it. She was already beginning to regain her memories little by little. He
never would've thought it could go that fast.
Shaking her head, Carla just kept staring at him. Truth be told, she dreamt about a lot of things last
night. However, the only thing she was able to recall upon seeing Noah was the part related to him.
Everything else other than that was starting to get much hazier.
"Noah, you still haven't answered my question. You do have feelings for me deep in your heart, don't
you? Be honest with me."
Rather than exerting herself and trying to think about the other details, Carla chose to ask Noah
directly, giving him an expectant look.
Carla got the idea that she shouldn't just lose hope on pursuing the man who cared about her so much
to the extent that he was more than willing to go out on a limb in order to save her.
It was a question which was much too hard for Noah to answer. He couldn't think of a way how to put it
into words. That being said, the moment he caught a glimpse of Carla's pining eyes, right there and
then, he understood what it was which he truly desired.
He was completely aware that the only reason Carla was feeling like that was because she was This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
currently suffering from memory loss.
With that in mind, he resigned himself into thinking that he should just make the most of the remaining
days he had left while she still hadn't regained her memory yet. At the very least, it was still much
better than having nothing.
It would be so fulfilling to finally capture her heart.
With his arms wrapped around her, Noah didn't utter a single word and simply held Carla tighter,
revealing how he truly felt.
It seemed that he finally had enough after keeping up a facade in front of Carla for so long.
At that very moment, all he wanted to do was to tell her how he really felt about her and show the
emotions he had been holding in.
Throughout his entire life, Noah had always been wearing different masks depending on the people he
was with. And Carla was by no means an exception to that.
At this point, he thought there was no longer any point in wearing a mask in front of her.
Carla was able to understand in an instant what that embrace meant. And with that, she proceeded to
hold him just as tight, feeling so overwhelmed with happiness.
"Noah..."
she tenderly called out his name.
"What is it?"
Hearing her say his name, Noah quickly loosened his grip on Carla. He really wasn't intending to do so,
but his lips accidentally brushed against her cheek as he turned his head to look at her. However, just
as he was about to apologize for what he had done, he realized that she might have done that on
purpose just to lure him in after noticing a hint of playfulness in her eyes.
Truth be told, Noah had been somewhat entranced by Carla's breath. Holding her face carefully, he
intently stared at her beautiful cheek. In that situation, there was no way he could've helped himself
from kissing her.
When he was just a few inches away from kissing her lips, he got startled by a thunderous noise
coming from the door.
As soon as he heard the racket, Noah shifted his gaze toward the source and found that, for some
reason, the innocent door had been punched so hard which caused it to fall apart.
Meanwhile, outside the ward, a furious man was storming out with blood dripping from his clenched fist.
"Mr. Terence? Wait a second,"
Nathan and Rainer called out to him, scurrying as they frantically tried to catch up to him.
"Nathan, come and fight with me! And you as well, Rainer!"
Terence ordered them, furiously gritting his teeth. There was a flame of anger blazing in his heart. It
was as though a demon had been running amok within him from the thought of Carla kissing someone
other than him.
Shooting glances at each other, Nathan and Rainer tried to hurry up so they could keep up with the
pace Terence was going.
These past couple of days had been quite a difficult time for them, and things were just getting harder
and harder by the moment.
They were under the assumption that, at long last, they would finally be able to let the next few days
pass by without incident now that they've settled the issue regarding Marcus once and for all.
They never would've imagined that Carla's trip to HA City would end up causing them lots of problems.
"Who was that?"
Taking a quick peek, Carla found out that the door had fallen apart. 'That was such a violent man,
whoever he was, ' Carla began to wonder, with her mouth twitching a bit.
Noah sprung up at once to check what just happened. When he inspected the hallway to find out who
was causing a ruckus, as expected, he found Terence walking outside the ward.
"Send someone here to replace the door as soon as possible," Noah said over the phone, feeling quite
annoyed, after dialing a number and calling one of his men. After hanging up, he gazed upon the empty
corridor once more.
'Terence, as I have said before, I won't let you get her that easily.
At the end of the day, you're still not married to each other yet. That means you can't do anything to
stop me from going after her, ' Noah pondered to himself.
Following that, he went back to the room and reassured Carla, "Everything's fine. It was just some
random nutjob."
"Well, okay then." Glancing at the doorway, Carla stretched out her arm, patting the bed gently,
gesturing for Noah to take a seat beside her. "Noah, would you please take me out tonight? Take me
somewhere else, any place is better.
I'm getting sick and tired of eating hospital food. I really, really want to go out to have some decent
food. Would you be kind enough to do me that favor?" Carla requested.
Taking a single glance at her injured leg, Noah couldn't do anything but shake his head as a bitter smile
crept onto his face. "No, I'm really sorry, Carla. But I can't do that. Your leg still hasn't fully healed, so
you shouldn't be moving around and straining yourself. What would you like to have for dinner? Pick
anything. I'll just bring it to you," Noah replied.
