Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 287

Carla had her eyes fixed on Allen who was lying on the bed. He was so weak that it seemed like he would pass away the next second. Upon realizing this, all kinds of feelings welled up in her heart.

There was so much sorrow in the room which almost drove her crazy. If she could, she would escape from there and put aside all the responsibilities that she was supposed to bear as the only heir of the Hua family.

She didn't care if the family was having a crisis. It had nothing to do with her. She didn't want to be involved in this chaos.

She just wanted to go back and be with Terence, living a free and peaceful life with him. With Terence, there were no worries, no pressure, and no pain. She knew that Terence would always be her hero and save her from any troubles and miseries.

However, fate brought her back to the Hua family, forcing her to face all of these problems by herself.

It was true that it allowed her to meet her biological father after years of being separated. She should be happy. But how could she be when upon meeting him, he was on his deathbed? What was worse, he was even asking her to marry a man she didn't love. There was no way that she would want to, but since it was his final will, she couldn't find any reason good enough to refuse.

After a few seconds of silence, Carla said, "Of course, Father. I will marry Noah."

She promised against her will while she closed her eyes and quietly exhaled deeply.

Upon hearing what she said, Allen finally closed his eyes in relief.

A few seconds after, a string of beeps came out of the ECG monitor, indicating that Allen's heart had stopped beating.

It took everybody in the room several seconds to realize what just happened. Then, Andrea couldn't control her tears anymore. The poor widow was overwhelmed by raging waves of sorrow. But Carla just closed her eyes tightly. She didn't feel the impulse to cry even if she tried to force herself to.

News about Allen's death spread far and wide really fast.

Then, three days after, a funeral was held for him.

There were quite a lot of people that came to the service. Carla couldn't tell how many they were because most of them was a stranger to her.

The funeral procession consisted of lines of women and men. All of them wore black suits and a white corsage fastened on each of their chests. They all looked solemn and respectful throughout the journey to the cemetery.

As the oldest child of Allen, Noah led the procession and took the main responsibility to perform the necessary functions.

Since only a few people knew about Carla and she was still recovering, her job was to simply be there.

Meanwhile, she noticed that among Allen's several children, Bonnie was the one that cried the most.

Carla thought that it was a solid proof that she must have been Allen's favorite one.
