Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 547

Before he left, Edmund made quite an effort to persuade Sally to go to the An Manor and stay with him just for two days. However, Sally simply kept on turning him down no matter what he tried to say.

Sally had never been away from Carla from the moment she was born, so she had gotten so used to having her mom around at all times.

The only way she would agree to stay in the An Manor was if Carla was going to stay there with her as well.

For that reason, no matter how hard Edmund tried to twist her arm, Sally was still very reluctant to leave with the grandpa she had just met.

On the following day, Carla and Terence brought Sally along with them to pay Nicholas a visit.

The place Nicholas was staying in was a private sanatorium surrounded by a lake. It boasted of such a wonderful scenery on top of its first-class service and medical facilities.

People who lived here probably wouldn't really feel like they were staying in a hospital at all. They could enjoy being looked after by the doctors while the mood was that of being on a vacation.

Right now, what Nicholas needed the most was to have a relaxing atmosphere and a comfortable state of mind.

"Carla, just let Sally come in first, we'll go see grandpa later." Just as she was about to enter the room, Terence grabbed Carla's hand and stopped her in her tracks.

In his current condition, they needed to give him a bit of time to wrap his mind around everything that was happening.

Carla didn't get right away why Terence would say something like that at all. In that situation, she was under the assumption that Nicholas could become even more emotional if he met Sally before they show up in front of him.

That being said, when she saw the way Sally acted, she realized in an instant what Terence had in mind when he said that.

"Great-grandfather, this flower is for you!"

With a carnation in her hand, Sally trotted straight toward Nicholas.

Quietly sitting in a wheelchair, Nicholas was basking in the sunshine with his eyes closed. When he heard a voice which seemed to be calling out to him, he opened his eyes and put on his glasses to check who it could be. As he stared at the lovely girl, who appeared from out of the blue, he beamed her a smile and asked, "... Oh, where did you get those flowers, sweetheart?"

Waving at her, Nicholas asked the little girl to come closer. At that moment, he simply thought that she was a relative of one of the other patients who came there to play and have some fun.

The only people who were staying there were the elderly, and most of their great-grandchildren were significantly older than her.

"I specially requested this one from mommy because I wanted to give it to my great-grandfather as a present."

Sally batted her big innocent eyes as she came up to him.

Looking at her great-grandfather, who seemed to have lost a bit of color in his face but nevertheless still quite amiable and kind, Sally explained.

"Oh? You picked this one especially for me? That means I certainly need to take it then. Come on, sweetheart, would you be so kind as to let this old man know your name?"

Nicholas rarely ever was in high spirits, but right now, he was brimming with happiness as he took the flower from her hand.

"My name is Sally An!"

Sally answered in an instant.

Hearing her response, Nicholas was left a bit dumbfounded for a long while. Then, a smile crept onto his face as he remarked, "We share the same last name. Do you happen to know your father's name, dear?"

People with this last name were quite thin on the ground. Given that their last name was An, Nicholas thought that there was a good chance he knew this little girl's father.

After all, he knew every single person who could afford to live in this sanitarium with that surname.

He was cudgeling his brains about who that person was, and that he was lucky to have been blessed with such an adorable and beautiful granddaughter.

"My father's name is..."

She usually just called him "daddy", so Sally had to think long and about what her father's name was. After a while, she reached out a finger and told him, "I always hear mom saying that name. It's Ter..." Terence An! Dad's name is Terence An!"

Only her mom had the guts to call him using his full name. Others simply addressed him as "Mr. Terence".

...

Watching from just a couple of meters away, when Terence heard his daughter shout out his name, he smiled wryly while looking at the woman who was standing right beside him.

"Babe, I think it would be the best for you to stop calling me by my name. Just call me dear husband or something like that. Look how much our daughter sounds just like you."

Glaring at him, Carla said, "Okay, fine. But only for as long as you promise not to upset me."
