Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 228

If Carla decided to go there directly, it was clear that she would head to her doom. She was not that stupid so she decided not to go to the airport.

Instead, she paid a visit to Nicholas.

The moment that she stepped into the door, she knelt down.

"Carla? What are you doing?" Nicholas was quite taken aback by her behavior.

Race took her arm and tried to help her up but she just ignored him.

"Grandpa, I have one request. If you don't give me your consent, I'll just keep kneeling here." She bowed her head after her declaration.

"Come on. Don't be like this. I will help you to the best of my ability. Come. Let's sit down and talk about it." Nicholas gestured for her to stand up and sit beside him.

Carla raised her head slowly and looked at him with determination. She took a deep breath and said, "Grandpa, please. Train me.

I don't want to do this just to show off or to lose some weight. I want to be trained so that I could protect myself in the future. I want to be strong enough to defend myself against the enemies. I was kidnapped for two times. I was thinking... If I know some self-defense skills, I won't have to wait for other people to come to my rescue.

Grandpa, I don't mind working hard. I wish you could give me some lessons as soon as possible. I want to be stronger."

Carla knew that he could help her. As a veteran, Nicholas had trained countless of soldiers before. She just wanted to learn some self-defense skills.

She was willing to overcome any weakness, despair, and fear.

She didn't want to be protected. She didn't want to be the one to drag the group down whenever they face emergencies.

"Carla, tell me. Why do you want to learn? Are you planning on finding Terence by yourself?" asked Nicholas.

He was experienced and had the ability to understand the motives of other people. He could read her mind.

Carla had no intention of disguising her plan. She nodded immediately.

"Grandpa, I've made up my mind. I'm willing to do a month's training. Trust me. I can do it. The training could help me rescue Terence. It was possible that he would be returned after a month. But if he wouldn't... I'll go to NF and find him myself!"

The usually innocent and mild-mannered girl glared firmly into his eyes. "I will find him and rescue him. I will spare nothing, even my own life!" swore Carla in a low but determined voice.

At least, she wanted to try her best.

"Good girl," murmured Nicholas. He was moved by her devotion. "I'll help you," Nicholas promised her.

'How blessed you are, Terry, to be loved by a girl like this!' thought Nicholas.

Carla could wait for Terence if she wanted her safety guaranteed.

Even if Terence didn't come back, or worse, lost his life, she was not the one to be blamed.

The Ans would treat her well and provide her with an affluent life.

However, Carla still chose to risk her life to help Terence.

"I promise you. I'll introduce the best training officer to you. You can stay here with me for a while. If you can bear the hard work, I'll help you,"

Nicholas slapped his thigh and declared.

"Okay. Grandpa, please keep your promise!"

Carla was extremely happy that she gave him a high-five.

The training officer arrived the next day.

Carla immersed herself in the training. Of course, it was impossible for her to become a skilled fighter like Terence in such a short time.

It was because she lacked the basic skills that was not easily developed in a short period of time.

The trainer taught her some basic moves which were enough for her to defend herself and deal with some enemies. The training also included practices in agility and reaction stability. It enabled her to sense danger and take effective measures.

The trainer was a top ranking officer in the army. He had accumulated a wealth of experience in military operations. He taught her some clever tactics that was suitable for women. Women's physical strength was usually inferior to men's but their opponents were more likely to be men so it was only natural for them to pay more attention to strategies.

Nicholas stood at the window, observing them.

Carla was sparring with some young fighter in the courtyard. Nicholas was delighted but at the same time, he felt regret.
