Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 58

Terence strode toward Carla who looked so distraught and was helplessly sitting on the floor. Much too disoriented, she seemed to be totally out of it.

Then, he lifted her up and carried her in his arms, saying with his brows furrowed, "Carla, please try not to worry too much. I've already asked Nathan and Rainer to look for Sean.

I've specifically told them to check all of the surveillance videos around the school, and since the security cameras are basically everywhere, I believe that they'll be able to locate Sean much sooner!"

While comforting her, Terence walked inside the room holding her in his arms.

"Terence, I'm so worried and frightened. I don't know what to do. I feel so powerless.

Sean is the only family I have left in this world. I can't bear the thought of losing him!"

Upon realizing that Terence had come back just so he could accompany her, Carla could not contain her emotions any longer and immediately burst into tears, clinging tightly onto his clothes with both of her hands.

"No, you will not lose Sean. Please try to pull yourself together. He needs you to be strong, now more than ever. Trust me. I will do everything I can in my power just to help you find him and bring him back home to you safe and sound." Terence held her closely in his arms and patted her repeatedly on the back, trying to calm her down. And because he wasn't used to seeing her in a state like that, it was hard for him to watch the strong woman he loved so dearly acting so vulnerable.

Carla, upon reflecting on all of the things that happened, managed to calm herself down eventually. Then, she made a phone call to ask Sean's teacher for the phone numbers of his close friends who he would often be playing with, after which she anxiously called them one by one to check whether Sean had just been hanging out with them all along, hoping he was doing just fine.

However, the result just terribly disappointed her, because Sean didn't come over to any of his friends' houses.

One of his friends told Carla that he actually walked out of the school together with Sean at the same time and thought that Sean had just simply headed straight back home.

Carla, who had tried her best to remain calm up until that moment, started feeling distressed and worried again. In that brief moment of weakness, she suddenly couldn't hold back her sadness anymore and began tearing up again in front of Terence, disregarding their differences and the state their relationship was currently in. Besides, there was no else left for her to lean on to apart from him, so she felt so grateful for his presence.

"Carla, please don't cry. Just give me some more time and be patient. Panicking would only make things worse. I promise that I will not let anything happen to him!"

It was a bit hard to believe that just a few moments ago, Terence still hated how Carla had been so heartless toward him, but now, upon seeing his beloved girl crying, all of those feelings of hatred had instantly withered away, and instead, he simply felt sorry for her. Just as much as he wanted to make sure Sean was safe, he was also very eager to lift Carla's spirits up.

At this moment, Terence somehow came up with an idea, so he put his hands over Carla's shoulders and asked, "Carla, this might be a long shot, but it's well worth trying. Does Sean still wear the bracelet I had given him?"

Carla had already forgotten about that bracelet, the real-time location of which could be tracked by Terence from an app.

As Terence reminded her of that, she began feeling hopeful again, even if it was just a little bit, and immediately nodded. "Yes. That bracelet is so precious to Sean. He wears it every single day after you gave it to him," she answered.

Terence bobbed his head to acknowledge Carla's response and immediately took out his phone to check and sent Sean's bracelet's real-time location information to Nathan, with hopes that maybe they could find him sooner.

Carla was still extremely anxious and distressed, her frightened expression showing signs of weakness. Throughout the years, she had always thought herself to be an independent woman with a strong will, but now, she was starting to realize how wrong she had been. She was actually just a frail city girl, weak and incapable of keeping her only brother safe from harm.

Although it was true that Sean was wearing the bracelet and the authorities had already gotten a hold of his real-time location, there was still a possibility that Sean might be in danger if some bad guys had taken him and decided to harm him at this moment.

"I can't just sit around and let my brother walk into danger. Even if I'm the one who gets involved in a life-threatening situation, I simply can't let him get hurt by others."

With these words, Carla braced herself once more and headed toward the door, but Terence immediately grabbed her by the wrist.

"Carla, wandering around aimlessly and randomly looking for him on your own would be useless. I don't want you to risk getting yourself in trouble as well. I've already ordered a lot of people to look for him. Now, the policemen of BH City have been sent out to join the search. They will update me as soon as they get any information regarding Sean's whereabouts,"

Terence reassured Carla in a calm voice, wrapping his arms around her waist. Now that he had also sent the real-time location information to Nathan, he believed that it wouldn't be long before they could figure out where Sean was.

Carla abruptly stopped, turning around to shoot Terence a glance.

It just came to her that Terence was just as powerful in BH City as he was in JA City and that his family was also so wealthy and influential that she couldn't begin to imagine it.

With this in mind, she thought that she shouldn't be underestimating his power and ability. She had reservations, but the best course of action right then would be to take a leap of faith and put her trust in him.

As she waited, Carla had gotten more and more restless, pacing nervously back and forth inside that small room and watching as the time ticked away.

She was surprised when Terence lifted her up all of sudden and brought her over to the sofa.

Taking a bowl of warm congee, Terence put a spoonful of congee in front of her mouth. "Here. You should have something to eat. I can't begin to imagine how anxious you're feeling right now, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be taking care of yourself," he reminded her.

"I have no appetite..."

"Okay. I can just feed you directly then."

Without any hint of annoyance and impatience on his face, Terence put a spoonful of congee into his own mouth, and then firmly grabbed Carla's chin, about to transfer the congee from his mouth to hers.
