Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 341

"Please, leave,"

Terence responded faintly, looking at the unfinished document on the table without raising his head.

"Okay, I'm leaving. I mean it. I'm really leaving now,"

Carla said, frowning as she noticed that he wasn't about to raise his head and look at her.

"Okay," Terence said.

"Well, goodbye then!" Carla said angrily.

Terence didn't say anything.

Carla looked at him as she bit her lower lip. She felt a despondency that she couldn't put in words. It brought home the thought that perhaps all her efforts had been in vain.

She had tired herself out trying to satisfy him as he sat and enjoyed her efforts. But now he was acting like nothing had happened and barely looked at her as she began to leave.

She wasn't up to take any nonsense from him and really walked towards the door, determined to leave. But the moment she reached the door, something important sprang to her mind.

So she turned around.

"Umm... Do you have any cash on you?"

Carla asked. And then she saw his wallet on the table. She bent to take it but Terence's hand shot out to stop her.

He opened his wallet, took out all the cash in it, and put the cash on the table.

"I'll transfer the money to you when I get back," Carla said. She took the cash and shoved it into her pocket without saying thanks.

She didn't take much cash though. And she also didn't want to power her mobile phone back on because she knew that Noah and Andrea would call her over and over again. She really didn't want to talk to them right now.

Therefore, she thought it was convenient to have some cash on her.

She still needed to eat and then take a taxi, so she needed money a little desperately.

And this time, Carla really did exit Terence's office.

Once she left, Terence took a deep breath and rubbed his temples as he leaned back on his chair. He stared for a long time at the door through which Carla had left.

His gaze shifted to the wallet lying beside him. He opened it and sifted through, and exhaled as he saw Carla's picture was still well stuffed into it.

He took the picture out of his wallet, opened the drawer and put the picture in there.

"Mr. Terence, I've postponed the meeting for an hour. But do you still want to have the meeting today? I can cancel it if you like," Rainer asked.

Rainer finally dared to come in a while after Carla left.

"Oh, yes. I'll attend the meeting, of course. And arrange a car for me after the meeting. I'm going to visit Grandpa,"

Terence said as he checked the time on his watch. 'Good, it's not too late, ' he thought.

Once Carla exited the AJ Building, she went to buy some tonics that were suitable for heart patients and then headed for the hospital.

She had heard that Nicholas had been hospitalized since long. And he would need to be hospitalized every time the weather got cold because he had a heart problem.

Carla knew the ward that Nicholas was in. When she approached the ward, she saw Race walking out and hurried towards him.

"Race, is Grandpa Nicholas in there?" she asked.

"Miss Carla? What brings you here?" Race was surprised to see her.

But he recovered quickly, smiled and said, "Yes, he is in there. He has just taken his medication and he's resting now."

"Could I go in and see him?" Carla asked tentatively.

"Of course. Let me open the door for you," Race said. Then, he opened the ward door for Carla.

Carla went in, only to see Nicholas sitting up on the hospital bed and reading, his presbyopia glasses perched on his nose.
