Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 118

Terence didn't ask any more questions. As soon as he hung up the phone he ran out the door of the mansion.

"Rainer, tell my father that I have something very urgent to attend to. I'm leaving now!"

As he called out, he saw the Lamborghini sports car parked outside. Initially he was going take that thinking it would be the fastest car to get to Carla and Sean. But then a thought crossed his mind. He quickly jumped into the Maybach that was parked next to it instead.

The sports car could only carry two people, so Terence decided to take the other one which had more room.

Nathan had sharp eyes. When he saw Terence running out in a hurry, he immediately drove another car and followed Terence without asking.

Terence drove as fast as he could all the way and pulled up in front of Carla's apartment.

He ran up the stairs and Nathan quickly followed.

When Terence saw Sean's little face had been beaten black and blue he flew into a rage and almost kicked the table over in anger. "How could this happen? Sean, tell me who beat you so badly? Don't be afraid. I'll back you up and help you get revenge right away!"

When Sean saw his hero Terence, he thought of Terence as a knight in shining armor. He had been crying so bitterly and was so sad and swollen that he couldn't speak at all.

Nathan was also distressed when he saw the little boy's face so badly beaten. He went to Sean and consoled him softly. Then he advised Terence and Carla in a calm low voice, "Mr. Terence, Miss Carla, please try and calm down. It's very late now. Even if we can get in touch with the school the students have all returned home and are probably in bed by now. Besides, Sean needs to be seen by a doctor now. I'll contact the school tomorrow morning and find out the truth."

Carla thought it through and agreed with Nathan. "Nathan is right. We should find out the fact first before we do anything. If the school director believes that it's Sean's fault then he will be expelled from the school and sent back to BH City. Sean likes this school so much and pays great attention to dignity. If he gets kicked out he will be looked down on by his peers. But let's take him to the hospital first."

When Terence stared at Sean's badly beaten face his heart ached with anger and sorrow. He balled his fists and clenched his teeth. The muscles in his body tensed. 'Who could be so cruel as to beat a small child so badly?'

"Sean, I promise you! No one will dare drive you out of JA City as long as I'm here!"

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor who saw to Sean made small jokes to cheer him up when he saw Sean's teary face. After a thorough examination, the doctor informed them that fortunately all of the injuries were only superficial and external. No bones had been fractured and there was no brain swelling. Sean would make a full recovery after a few days of rest.

The doctor prescribed some medicine and told Sean to have plenty of rest. Both Carla and Terence heaved a sigh of relief and thanked the doctor on Sean's behalf. By the time they had finished at the hospital it was quite late. Terence drove Carla and Sean back to the apartment.

Carla gave Sean a painkiller and put him to bed.

Then she tried to go to bed herself. But as she lay there, she tossed and turned unable to get to sleep.

All that kept going through her mind was what had happened to poor Sean. And why did it happen? It couldn't have just been a school playground incident. It just didn't make any sense.
