Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 237

'Is that it? Is this the end of everything? It can't be...' Carla thought hopelessly. He was going to cut her throat, she knew it. The thought made Carla panic and then she cried out, "Nooooo! Please don't!" "My God! Carla?!" the man exclaimed. To say that he seemed surprised was an understatement.

Hearing her name come out of his mouth, Carla was frozen. Now that they were so close, Carla could finally see the man a little clearer. The moonlight was dim but she managed to see the wooden fish hanging on his bracelet. Hot tears started to roll down from her cheeks. She was shivering all over and she reached her trembling fingertip to his hand as if she couldn't believe it.

Terence was dumbfounded. He knew that voice. It was Carla, his dear Carla and he almost killed her!

"Wooden fish, wooden fish..." Carla murmured hysterically. She thought that the situation got totally out of control. Carla sobbed and soon began to wail, grabbing the man with both of her hands. She was on the brink of collapse.

"Terence?" she then asked tearfully. Deep in her heart, she knew that this man was Terence. She finally found him.

Terence caressed her back to soothe her and to tell her to drop the dangerous dagger. "Carla? Is that you? Can I see your face?" he asked softly. His voice made her tremble again as she slowly raised her head.

After long days of anxiety and long sleepless nights, they finally saw each other again.

Her eyes were on him and his eyes were on her as wild joy and great sadness lay in their hearts.

Terence had been wondering about in the thick forest of this foreign land for a whole month. The only thing that kept him going was the hope that he would be able to see her again.

As for Carla, she had practiced martial arts round the clock for a whole month in the hopes that she could find him and rescue him.

So after all that they had been through, the world just faded and time stopped when they finally saw each other again. Suddenly, there were no trees, no noise, and no pains. There were no yesterdays and no tomorrows. At that moment, there were only him and her, and their love.

Terence's clothes were all tattered and dirty with mud, torn leaves, and branches. The camouflage make-up that he had on his face was smudged. To top it off, it was pitch-dark all around them. But Carla still recognized him immediately.

Terence stared at her eyes and took a deep breath. He was greatly astonished. He thought she was an assassin, a mercenary, or a head hunter. He thought she came for his life. But it was Carla, the woman he loved. To see her was beyond all expectations. Finally, he was reunited with the one he had been yearning for countless days and nights.

"Carla! Oh, my Carla!" Terence burst into tears of joy as he cupped her face with his hands. It was her. It was really his Carla. What he had been dreaming about for days actually came true.

But in seconds, Terence grew suspicious of the woman's identity again. If this was really Carla, how come she knew a lot of Kung Fu? It had just been a month! It was impossible.

"Carla?" Terence stared at the girl standing in front of him with tears. "Yes?" Carla responded anxiously.

She could sense the suspicion in his voice. She knew that his doubt was fair and reasonable and that she had to prove herself to him right away.

"Terence, it's me, Carla. I'm Carla. I'm yours," she said.

Carla looked at him, studying his expression under the moonlight but it was really hard to see. So she waited for Terence to say something but he just remained quiet. Carla grew desperately anxious.

"Calm down, my dear Carla. Calm down. It will be over soon, I promise," Terence finally said. Meanwhile, he turned towards Rainer's direction from the bushes. Rainer showed himself and he came towards them. Terence thought that he must see her face to be sure that it was really her. The hiding and fighting were very taxing on their minds, so he couldn't trust his instincts alone.

Terence looked at Rainer as he shone the flashlight on Carla's face. The light was blinding so Carla raised her hand to block it. Rainer immediately pointed it in a way that it was not directed at her face but they could still recognize her. "It's Miss Carla!" Rainer suddenly exclaimed.

It felt as if so much weight had been lifted from their shoulders. Behind the giant tree, Nathan took a deep breath and drew back his knife quietly.

Nathan and Rainer were both in shock. They couldn't believe that Miss Carla would come all this way by herself for Mr. Terence.

It was touching, to say the least and hard to believe if they were being honest.
