Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 525

"I've already sent Miss Sally's hair and yours for the test. We'll get the results soon enough."

Rainer responded while he followed Terence outside.

Actually, it shouldn't have been necessary to have a DNA test. If Terence hadn't lost his memory, he would not ask for the test at all. The test was just to double-check if Carla was telling the truth.

Back in the ward, Carla took out the toy that she bought for her daughter. Her poor Sally had spent three years living in the mountains and had never owned a decent toy. All her toys were from Cathy, who made dolls out of torn clothes. That was the best that they could offer her.

"Mom, is Dad going to visit me tonight?"

Sally held on to the doll in a pink dress. However, no matter how attractive the toy was, it just couldn't compare to the comfort of having her Daddy in there with her.

To be honest, when Sally saw her Dad outside, holding another child in his arms, she felt really sad.

She couldn't afford to share her Dad with anyone else. And she didn't want her Dad to hold any kid besides her. For so long, she had been seeking the warmth of having a father.

So when she saw another kid clinging onto her Dad, it really made her upset. She would have accepted sharing her Dad if the kid was her biological brother or sister. Just like Bob and Abbey who were born by the same dad and mom. Only then would Sally consider to share a bit of her Dad's love.

"I have no idea." Carla responded and sighed heavily. When she saw how disappointed Sally looked, Carla brushed Sally's soft hair with her fingers. She then comforted her daughter, "But don't worry my child. Your Mom will fight. I won't stop 'till we have your father back."

Carla knew that her dedication to that purpose was not only for Sally. It was also for herself.

Indeed, love was selfish.

Terence belonged to her and she wouldn't give him away to any other woman, just like that. She will fight for him. She will fight for the love that they once had. She will fight for the family that they should have been building.

Therefore, there was no way she would stand aside and watch her Terence be with another woman.

She couldn't just admit defeat and cry in a corner.

"Really, Mom?"

As soon as Sally heard what her Mom had said, her sullen eyes were suddenly filled with hope. Soon enough, her eyes were so bright with happiness that it looked like they were shining.

"Of course. Have I ever lied to you before?"

Carla lightly tapped on Sally's little nose and put on a big smile.

Terence and Carla were husband and wife. Hence, Carla was not the third party in this mess. And she didn't have any fears that others would misunderstand her. Everyone knew that she was the wife. She didn't even have to fight for her position, it was hers.

When night fell, Carla took out a storybook. Then, she read it to Sally who was still awake in her arms. Soon enough, Carla had read story after story but Sally just wouldn't fall asleep.

"Sally, I've already read you four stories. Why are you still awake? Don't you feel sleepy yet?"

Sally was actually drowsy by then but she just wouldn't close her sleepy eyes. Then, she explained, "Mom, I don't feel like sleeping yet. I want to wait for Dad..."
