Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 342

It was almost time to leave. Carla stood up and bade goodbye to Nicholas. Walking out of the ward, she decided that she should return to HA City.

She must go back and take up the post as soon as possible. The situation was critical and every day mattered.

Terence was right. Although he could afford to wait, Nicholas might be unable to.

She wouldn't forgive herself if Nicholas died with regrets regardless of how Terence planned to soothe her if that really happened.

Just as Carla stepped into the elevator, Terence came out from the other one and headed toward Nicholas's ward.

As a result, they missed each other in the blink of an eye.

Carla went downstairs and hurried to take a taxi. She headed straight to Sean's school.

In the ward, Nicholas sensed some movements outside the door.

He thought Carla had forgotten something and thus returned.

"Carla, is that you? Have you forgotten anything?

If you don't mind, stay with me for a little longer," he babbled as every old man would. That was when the door completely opened and Terence came in.

"Oh, it's you. I thought Carla hadn't gone yet," Nicholas said with mild disappointment.

Terence noticed the flowers and supplements on the table as he approached the old man. Those made him instantly understand why his grandfather mentioned Carla.

"Has she been here?" he asked casually.

"Yes, who else do you think would make your grandpa so happy except her?" Nicholas nodded. He was obviously flooded with joy. He was still smiling like a child when he added, "She just left. Didn't you see her?"

Terence pulled a chair and sat by the bedside. Grabbing the kettle on the table and pouring some water into a cup, he just simply replied, "No." He then handed the water to Nicholas.

"Oh, thanks! Aren't you guys seeing each other lately?" Nicholas asked in surprise as he took the cup.

Terence didn't say anything about it. Rather, he turned the conversation away from the topic and asked back, "Have you made any decisions yet about your heart surgery, Grandpa?"

A deep sigh escaped Nicholas's chest upon hearing about his health. He gave a feeble wave with his hand before saying, "As I've said many times before, I'm too old to have such a big surgery.

This heart has been serving me all my life. It's a part of me. I don't think I can afford to replace it."

"So you are saying that you don't want to see your future great-grandson?" A grin crept on Terence's lips as he spoke.

"No, I didn't mean that! Of course, I want to see my great-grandson. But still I'm too old to suffer too much. Who knows, I might even live longer without an operation. Getting that operation isn't a guarantee. In case it fails, then it would be my last day." Nicholas's misery was clear on his face.

Little did anyone know that he had his concerns too. He was afraid to die and it would take great strength from him to consider such risks.

"But the doctor said that you might not make it through this winter if you don't have this surgery. Give me a clue on how I can make you a great-grandson in such a short time?" Terence teased as he tried to lighten up his grandpa's mood.

He peeled a banana and handed it to him. "The surgery would give you three to five years more if it turned out successful. I promise that you will see your great-grandson by then.

Think about it, Grandpa," he persuaded.

Meanwhile, Carla arrived at Sean's school.

She picked him up as soon as the school was over in the afternoon.

"How's it going lately?

Are you getting along with your friends? Is there anyone who is bullying you?"

Carla asked Sean while they were eating in a restaurant. She was busy peeling shrimps for him.

"It was good. I've been studying here for so long that nobody would dare to bully me." Sean took one of the shrimps Carla prepared and chewed it.

His relationship with Terence wasn't a secret to anyone. Thus, all the other students in the school naturally showed him great respect.
