Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 238

Just as Rainer was beginning to relish his exultant joy, Carla, who had been following closely behind Terence after the incident, had finally stepped out of the woodlands.

The sound of vehicles approaching suddenly came from in front of the forest.

Carla frantically buried her face onto Terence's back out of reflex, extremely anxious that those might be Marcus' henchmen.

Terence carefully inspected the tag of the cars. With Carla wrapped up in his clutch, he reassured her, "There's no need for you to be worried. It's actually my men riding those cars you just heard."

Blue was one of the locals. Meaning to say, his dark skin complexion couldn't really hide the light gleaming from his bright eyes. Without delay, he immediately ordered his men to move.

Carla saw a group of men who were wiping something with mats, carrying and transferring it over to the forest.

It should take them just a total of twenty minutes. Ten minutes spent for escaping the forest and five minutes to have the scene set up. At that moment, there were only five more minutes remaining for them to run away, so Terence immediately brought Carla over to one of the cars.

As they hurriedly fled the scene, Carla noticed that there was something which seemed like a little robot, cleaning up the tracks which they would've left otherwise. It looked quite astonishing, such a sight to see.

As anyone would've expected, they left the area as though they hadn't even been there in the first place.

Carla actually had no idea what was going on, but it was not like she even really had to ask about it anyway. Having so much faith in Terence, that was all that mattered.

Just a few moments after they left, Marcus' underlings had arrived. A helicopter could be seen hovering up in the sky scanning the area.

For a brief second there, the expression on Carla's face made it seem as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Terence wasn't in such a hurry to send her back home to safety. What he did was he brought her along to a secluded house which was set up high in the mountains and deep into the wilderness. This place was somewhat of a desolate area.

Inside a modest but peaceful dwelling, Carla clenched her jaw, anxiously watching as Rainer was taking care of Terence's wounds. Just from seeing the wounds he had all over his body, especially the fresh ones, Carla had a hard time wondering about all of the unthinkable hardships he could have been through during the past month.

"Rainer, I can handle everything else here. But please go outside and check the area!" Carla insisted.

Taking in a deep breath, a bitter smile crept onto her face as she walked over to Terence.

Rainer bobbed his head in agreement, setting everything down instantly, and headed out.

Her hands were visibly trembling while attempting to dab iodine onto the numerous cuts Terence had on his back.

Terence promptly held her hand in a tight grip and assured her, "Carla, there's no need for you to be so worried. This is nothing, really. Every one of us had a few small cuts."

Terence sat up and straightened his back. His skin got considerably darker and all of those wounds only helped ruin his beautiful body. With so much tenderness, he looked straight into her eyes.

At this point, Carla couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She gasped under so much distress and moved behind him.

Her restlessness was spilling all over the place, taking shape in her uneven breathing pattern, and not to mention her shivering hands.

'Why? Why does this have to keep on happening? What did he do to deserve this?

He's nowhere near being a superhuman or a god.

He is just like everybody else, just a normal person. He feels pain, he bleeds, and he could even die. Why is all of this happening to him over and over again?

This doesn't feel right! It's so unfair! How come a wretched person such as Marcus can leisurely spend his time in his fancy house while Terence is out here, in god-knows-where this place might be, under so much discomfort and suffering?' Carla hopelessly wondered.

Turning around to face her, Terence rested the palm of his hand on her cheeks and tried to kiss her tears away. "Babe, please don't be sad. I hate to see you crying.

In this past month, I never let myself shed a single tear, nor have I ever thought of giving in to the torment. But your tears, Carla... Your tears could easily break my heart!" Terence told her.

He then wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly as he patted her on the shoulder.

Terence's warmth made her feel much better. It was enough to get her to be at ease. And then he added, "Don't fret, silly. Your man isn't so weak that he will succumb to something of this caliber. He is a superhero. There's no way he would ever think of leaving his beautiful girl on her own. I was quite aware that they had some things tampered with on the plane. I also knew they had replaced the bailout kit. In order to deceive them into thinking I didn't know anything, I had to beat them at their own game. So, this crash was also part of the plan.

My father had never truly given up on my older brother. I had no choice but to force him to make a decision. At the end of all of this, the entire An family would be bound to lose their faith in my older brother. I had to resort to this because it's the only way to ensure that he wouldn't ever dare bring harm to me and more importantly, to the people I hold dear."
