Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 236

"Follow me, and stay down!"

Terence commanded, keeping his voice as low as he could when he noticed the flash of light. Silence fell over them.

For the past few days, they had been traveling under the cover of darkness without any source of light because they were afraid that it would expose them. Revealing their position was certainly suicidal.

Nathan had just checked everything. He guaranteed that there was no one else except them. So where the hell was the light coming from? They searched and listened with anxious breaths.

Terence made a gesture. Everyone began to scatter in all directions. Some of them hid in the huge trees while some hid in the thick-growing grass. After then, nothing could be heard except the sounds of the forest. Terence could hear his heart beating loudly in his ears.

All of a sudden, a person's silhouette was illuminated in the darkness by the light of a flashlight. Someone was approaching them!

At the other end of the path, Carla was holding a walking stick on her right hand to help her clear the way. And on her left hand, she diligently shone the electric torch on the thick bushes while she was trying to get through in the depths of the forest. She knew enough that there were traps everywhere.

Every now and then, she would check the detector that Grandpa Nicholas gave her before she left. The detector had a thermographic camera as well as a motion sensor which she had hoped would help her find the man she was looking for.

However, things did not go according to plan. Something was wrong with this bloody detector. She was in a hurry to search for Terence, but the detector didn't seem like it had the least bit of intention of working. The way it was malfunctioning almost drove Carla insane.

A few meters away, Nathan had already drawn out his dagger. Using guns in there was not an option because the gunshot would inevitably expose them to enemies. And if that happened, everything that they had done so far would be for nothing.

Nathan held the dagger tight. He was waiting for an opportunity to attack.

Carla raised her flashlight again to illuminate the path ahead. Walking all night had soaked her shirt, her face, her elbows, her entire body; whether from sweat or the mud, she didn't know. And honestly, she didn't care. All she could think about was finding Terence.

She was alone and terrified, walking through the dense forest. She was also fretful and anxious. It was a surprise she could still go on but that was all that she could do. At the time, she had only one thought in her mind - Terence.

"Marcus was still searching for Terence. As long as he hasn't found Terence, he would still be alive. God, please bless my Terence. Please let him be alive!" Carla murmured to herself.

To keep herself sane, she planned, "If I can't find him here in the woods. Then, I will search up and down the river next. And then, I will swim to the other side of the river and search the opposite bank." And then, to keep herself going, she repeatedly told herself, "I will never give up. I will search every nook and cranny until I find him!"

Carla was staggering along the path. All of a sudden, she stumbled and fell. It was so painful that she even bit her lip. She pressed her hands to her mouth to repress her screaming. For a moment, she forgot about her fear because the only thing she could feel then was pain. She raised her flashlight again to check what had tripped her.

But before she could see anything, someone kicked her flashlight with a force so strong she almost screamed. The light rolled into the thick grass.
