Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 237 Brawling In The Forest (Part Two)

'Is that it? Is this the end of everything? It can't be...' Carla thought hopelessly. He was going to cut her

throat, she knew it. The thought made Carla panic and then she cried out, "Nooooo! Please don't!" "My

God! Carla?!" the man exclaimed. To say that he seemed surprised was an understatement.

Hearing her name come out of his mouth, Carla was frozen. Now that they were so close, Carla could

finally see the man a little clearer. The moonlight was dim but she managed to see the wooden fish

hanging on his bracelet. Hot tears started to roll down from her cheeks. She was shivering all over and

she reached her trembling fingertip to his hand as if she couldn't believe it.

Terence was dumbfounded. He knew that voice. It was Carla, his dear Carla and he almost killed her!

"Wooden fish, wooden fish..." Carla murmured hysterically. She thought that the situation got totally out

of control. Carla sobbed and soon began to wail, grabbing the man with both of her hands. She was on

the brink of collapse.

"Terence?" she then asked tearfully. Deep in her heart, she knew that this man was Terence. She

finally found him.

Terence caressed her back to soothe her and to tell her to drop the dangerous dagger. "Carla? Is that

you? Can I see your face?" he asked softly. His voice made her tremble again as she slowly raised her

head.

After long days of anxiety and long sleepless nights, they finally saw each other again.

Her eyes were on him and his eyes were on her as wild joy and great sadness lay in their hearts.

Terence had been wondering about in the thick forest of this foreign land for a whole month. The only

thing that kept him going was the hope that he would be able to see her again.

As for Carla, she had practiced martial arts round the clock for a whole month in the hopes that she

could find him and rescue him.

So after all that they had been through, the world just faded and time stopped when they finally saw

each other again. Suddenly, there were no trees, no noise, and no pains. There were no yesterdays

and no tomorrows. At that moment, there were only him and her, and their love.

Terence's clothes were all tattered and dirty with mud, torn leaves, and branches. The camouflage

make-up that he had on his face was smudged. To top it off, it was pitch-dark all around them. But

Carla still recognized him immediately.

Terence stared at her eyes and took a deep breath. He was greatly astonished. He thought she was an

assassin, a mercenary, or a head hunter. He thought she came for his life. But it was Carla, the woman

he loved. To see her was beyond all expectations. Finally, he was reunited with the one he had been

yearning for countless days and nights.

"Carla! Oh, my Carla!" Terence burst into tears of joy as he cupped her face with his hands. It was her.

It was really his Carla. What he had been dreaming about for days actually came true.

But in seconds, Terence grew suspicious of the woman's identity again. If this was really Carla, how

come she knew a lot of Kung Fu? It had just been a month! It was impossible.

"Carla?" Terence stared at the girl standing in front of him with tears. "Yes?" Carla responded anxiously.

She could sense the suspicion in his voice. She knew that his doubt was fair and reasonable and that

she had to prove herself to him right away.

"Terence, it's me, Carla. I'm Carla. I'm yours," she said.

Carla looked at him, studying his expression under the moonlight but it was really hard to see. So she

waited for Terence to say something but he just remained quiet. Carla grew desperately anxious.

"Calm down, my dear Carla. Calm down. It will be over soon, I promise," Terence finally said.

Meanwhile, he turned towards Rainer's direction from the bushes. Rainer showed himself and he came

towards them. Terence thought that he must see her face to be sure that it was really her. The hiding

and fighting were very taxing on their minds, so he couldn't trust his instincts alone.

Terence looked at Rainer as he shone the flashlight on Carla's face. The light was blinding so Carla

raised her hand to block it. Rainer immediately pointed it in a way that it was not directed at her face

but they could still recognize her. "It's Miss Carla!" Rainer suddenly exclaimed.

It felt as if so much weight had been lifted from their shoulders. Behind the giant tree, Nathan took a

deep breath and drew back his knife quietly.

Nathan and Rainer were both in shock. They couldn't believe that Miss Carla would come all this way

by herself for Mr. Terence.

It was touching, to say the least and hard to believe if they were being honest.

All of a sudden, bullets from machine-guns and drones flooded the night sky.

Terence immediately grabbed Carla. Everyone jumped down to the ground and held their breath. There

were also drones in surveillance over their heads.

But for Carla, the world stopped the moment he held her in his arms. Terence felt a fit of giggles from

her. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. They were on the verge of death and she giggled. She

actually giggled!

Suddenly, hearing her giggles made him really calm. She knew they could die

but she was dauntless in the face of death. She was just happy because they were finally reunited.

Terence smiled at Carla and she smiled back, warmly and affectionately. Tears began to roll down their

cheeks. Terence felt an urge to do something to comfort her. So he pressed his lips against hers and

they exchanged affectionate kisses.

She grabbed his arms which were covered in scars and smudged jungle camouflage paint. Her lips

continued to brush against his, hot and fiery. "Carla," he whispered slowly, prolonging each and every

letter. He continued to say, "My Carla..." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

The noise of gun fires finally stopped. Terence knew that this round was over. He clasped her hand,

immediately got up and ran very quickly.

"Let's go! Go go go!"

Terence commanded. The next round of attack would begin soon, so they must make it to the edge of

the forest as soon as they could.

And according to the intelligence guy, 20 minutes after the drones, the enemy team would make a

circuit of the entire forest. If they couldn't reach the perimeter by then, they would face severe damages

or even casualties.

Time was running short. Though Carla was injured during the fight, they must go now.

"Carla, jump on my back. I'll carry you," Terence told her. "I can run. It's just a minor injury. Let's go!"

Carla insisted.

She didn't want to become a burden and implicate the whole team.

Terence sighed, then in a second he raised his head as he let go of her arms. "Keep up!" That were the

only words that he told her. He knew that no matter how much he commanded, she wouldn't give up.

Carla nodded at his words and they took off. Although Carla slightly lagged behind, the four of them

kept on moving.

In the forest, the paths ran in every direction. The rough bark of tall beeches scuffed at their skin.

"Jump!" Rainer shouted. But Carla's jump was too short so she landed in knee-deep mud.

It was a patch of marsh.

Carla tried to move her legs but she couldn't. She got stuck in a swamp and was gradually sinking into

the mud. The brown dirt was a really bad place to be in, especially at that moment.

The three of them tried to pull her out but they failed. They only managed to take off a few inches of her

feet from the mud.

"Mr. Terence!" Rainer shouted. "I saw some lamp signals! Blue has come with more men!" he added.

Everyone's face lit up. They made it! Blue and his crew were coming!

They endured all kinds of sufferings and now they finally lived through it all. Rainer looked at Terence

whose eyes were bloodshot. Carla was still sinking, right then the mud was at her waist already. In a

desperate situation like this, Blue was a true life-saver!

Terence clasped Carla's hand, he was ready to sink with her. He whispered into her ears, "We're

saved, Carla. We're not going to die anymore. My angel, you found me. Blue found us. And now we're

going home." With that hope in mind, they tried again and finally pulled Carla out!
