Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 146 We Can't Die

Ted had thought that Jimmy would be opposed to his suggestion.

However, Jimmy replied, "Let's do what you said, since we're going to die anyway. But before we die,

we take her to hell with us. After all, she caused all of this!" Jimmy felt so indignant.

What Ted said made sense. Since they wouldn't see their boss anymore and it was just a matter of

time when they would be killed, they might as well kill Carla as revenge.

Carla almost fainted when she heard what they were going to do.

She knew that she didn't stand a chance if the gunmen had decided to give up on their lives.

They pointed their guns towards Carla simultaneously as if they had done it many times before. Carla

backed up toward the window.

"Ah!! No! Please don't!"

Carla screamed and closed her eyes. However, they didn't stop. She could clearly hear the sound of

gunshots and death was whispering in her ear.

At the same time, she could hear the horrible

sound of bone cracking and brains splattering.

She fell to the floor with a 'Thud!'.

Was this the feeling of dying?

But why?

Why could she still hear the sound of the helicopter propeller hovering overhead? The noise was

getting louder and louder.

Why did she still have senses after death? Right, there was someone that she couldn't let go of.

It was her little brother Sean. He was only ten years old. He had lost both of his parents and now he

would lose his last remaining family, his sister.

But, surely Terence would take care of Sean for her, right?

After all, she died because of him.

'Do you regret meeting him?' she asked herself.

Once she thought about Terence, her heart was full of him.

No, she didn't regret it one bit, even though she did die for him.

If there was a regret it would only have been, her refusal to Terence. She pushed him away time and

time again. Now that she had died, she could never be intimate with him. If she had known that her life

would end in such a way, she would have made love with Terence before she died.

So that she could leave without any regret.

It broke her heart to think that Terence would give his first time to another woman.

Moreover, she died with two kidnappers. How could she rest in peace after death?

In addition, she was drugged when she was alive. It was really a torture for her!

"Carla! Carla! Wake up!

Don't scare me, Carla!"

Terence patted her face anxiously. Why was she still unconscious? Where was she hurt? He had

already checked her and there was no wound.

"Carla!" Terence continued to call her.

He took his top off and wiped the blood from her face. He then lifted her from the pool of blood that she

was lying in. "Carla! Wake up! Don't scare me! You must stay with me! Do you hear me?"

Terence shouted hysterically. His heart was pounding against his chest. He was so afraid that he would

lose her forever. He didn't know how he could continue his life without her.

Carrying Carla's limp and lifeless body in his arms, Terence rushed out to find an ambulance for her.

"I'm— I'm not dead?"

Carla murmured in surprise.

Terence stopped in his tracks.

He lowered his head and his teary eyes lit up when he looked at her.

"Carla? You're awake!"

Carla blinked and opened her eyes.

She could feel the sticky blood on her face and could smell the metallic scent. It made her feel queasy.

But she didn't feel any pain in her body. Just a hot feeling that was caused by the drug that she was

forced to swallow.

"You're not dead! Of course, you're not dead! The kidnappers are dead. You have been saved!"

Terence assured her and put her down on the floor. He rubbed her face to refresh her and his voice

was full of excitement.

Carla tried to focus her eyes on the man in front of her.

He was so damn handsome. Even more so, with his serious and dangerous face. She couldn't help but

be enchanted by him. Carla was unwilling to die, thinking of that such a handsome man would become

another woman's husband after her death.

"Carla, look at me! Tell me, how do you feel? Do you have any pain?" Carla gripped tightly onto his

hands. He looked down into her eyes and was insanely happy to see her awake.

Carla's eyes were still dull. She squinted and raised her hand to touch his face.

"Ter— Terence, am I really alive? Or—You're dead like me?"

Terence couldn't help feeling amused. He smiled lovingly at her and leaned his forehead against hers.

He didn't care about the blood stain on her face. "Carla, feel my cheek. It's warm. I'm not dead and

neither are you. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

We haven't been married yet. We haven't had our own children yet. We also need to see Sean grow up

and marry. We'll grow old together and die in our bed. There are so many things waiting for us to do.

How can we die now?"

Carla was slowly coming to her senses and heard every word that he had said. She felt his warm body

against hers.

Suddenly she started to whimper at the realization of everything that had happened to her and how

close she came to death's door. She began to cry like a small child.

"Oh—Oh— Terence, I don't know how it happened. I just had afternoon tea with Violet, but all of a

sudden—" Carla sobbed. She felt like it was a horrible nightmare.

It was already dark outside and she felt like she had just woken up from it.

"I know, Carla. I know how you feel. It's all my fault! I blame myself for everything that has happened!"

Terence kissed her and apologized. He creased his eyebrows and blamed himself. He had thought that

it would be all right with just the driver to take care of her. He had thought that nobody would dare to

hurt her in JA City under his protection.

However, he was wrong. He had underestimated someone's ambition.

But he would never allow this to happen again!

"Mr. Terence, the ambulance has arrived downstairs. It's best to have a doctor check Miss Carla,"

Rainer said.

Terence scooped her up into his arms and carried her down the stairs.

In the ambulance, the doctor conducted general checks on Carla. She was asked if she had been

injected by any substance.

Even though she was drugged, Carla knew it was a philter which wasn't life-threatening, so she told

them that she hadn't.

The doctor was relieved to hear that she wasn't. He assured Terence and Carla, "Apart from some

bumps and bruises, you will be fine. Just get some rest."

Terence finally felt relieved.

Since Carla was given the all-clear, it was unnecessary for her to go to the hospital. Terence took her to

his own car and let Nathan drive them home.

On the way home, Terence hugged her tightly to him. He couldn't stop blaming himself for everything

that had happened. "Carla, I'm so sorry. I could have lost you. It's all my fault. Thank God, that you are

safe now."

Carla stared at the shifting night scene outside of the car window. The colorful lights decorated the

buildings and sky. These familiar things made her feel reassured. She could finally rest.

All of a sudden, Carla's whole body shuddered. She felt something awakening inside of her and

spreading to her limbs until she was engulfed by the hot feeling everywhere.

"What happened? Do you feel cold?" Terence asked concerned when he felt her trembling. He called

out, "Nathan, turn off the air conditioning."

Nathan obeyed immediately.

It wasn't because she felt cold. It was her body's reaction to the aphrodisiac she was forced to drink

that was mixed in the beer. She didn't feel the effects of the drug early, because she felt too anxious

being in a life or death situation and the adrenaline took over.

But now that everything had quieted down and she was relaxed in Terence's arms, the drug was

starting to slowly take over her sanity.

One of Carla's hands snaked up Terence's shirt and was caressing his broad chest. Then she lifted her

head and started kissing his neck, mumbling in a trembling voice, "Terence, do you want me?

I want you right here, right now!"

Terence furrowed his brows and looked down at her in shock. He put his palm on her forehead and

could feel that she was burning up. "Carla, have you been drugged?"

Carla didn't reply but brushed his hand away from her forehead impatiently. She twisted in his arms and

forced him to lie down and climbed on top of him, straddling his body. Leaning down she covered his

lips with her own, kissing him passionately and slipping her tongue into his mouth.

Her hands fumbled urgently to unbutton his shirt, but she failed because she was trembling so much.

The fire inside of her burned hot making her feel uncomfortable and desperate for release. She pulled

harder on Terence's shirt, ripping it open.

"Nathan, pull over!"

Terence commanded.
