Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 235

Johnny had his thick eyebrows deeply knit as he sprung up and darted toward her to grab a hold of her arm. "Stop being so stupid! If you really insist on entering the jungle, I can send someone to accompany you first thing in the morning tomorrow. What do you say? Wouldn't that be better?"

Carla blew a fuse due to his repeated attempts to get on her way. This forced her to pull out the dagger she had on her side pocket and point its sharp edge right under his throat.

"Johnny, don't you dare try stop me!"

Carla yelled furiously, intensely glaring at him.

Upon seeing the dagger that was pointed on his neck, Johnny simply let out a faint chuckle. It appeared that she was so well-prepared and quite intent on doing this. "Okay then, you win. Go ahead and do whatever you want. If you die in that jungle, nobody's going to come to pick up your body."

That being said, he just fixed himself up and walked over to his car.

When she was done watching as he drove further away, Carla heaved a heavy sigh. With a torchlight at hand, she finally entered the forest.

After ten minutes, Johnny hurriedly drove his car around and went back. He stepped out frantically and dashed toward the place where he parted with Carla.

But she had already gone without a trace.

Johnny couldn't do anything but stand still, clenching his fists tightly and staring blankly ahead into the forest.

Carla, on the other hand, ran into the jungle as fast as her feet would allow her to. With a map in hand to guide her way, she managed to analyze her location quickly.

There was a high chance that Terence could've been hiding deep beneath that jungle. As Johnny himself had said, Marcus began a thorough search, and that would make it close to impossible for Terence to make it out alive, especially because there were no vehicles around that he could use.

The area below the high mountains was bare and uninhabited. There weren't that many trees nor water around. So, logically thinking, Terence couldn't have thought of hiding close to here.

By deduction, the only place left now where he could safely hide would be the jungle. She was quite certain about it.

In spite of the fact that she had no clue whatsoever how Terence was able to do it, she still simply believed that he would've found a way on his own no matter what.

Carla had so much faith that Terence was still alive somewhere in that forest.

Now, given that she had some time to think about it as she walked around the jungle, she realized that Johnny had indeed brought her to the right place at least.

Johnny had no idea that she actually knew the exact place where the plane Terence was riding had crashed. To try and mislead to her, he just brought her to the opposite side of the actual crashing point.

If her analysis that Terence actually concealed himself in the jungle was on point, then he must have headed for the middle of the jungle, meaning to say, she should be getting closer and closer to him at this point.

Deep inside her heart, Carla was praying nervously, hoping to find him safe and in one piece.

All throughout her journey, she just continued praying as she walked cautiously inside the jungle, an area where thorns were just all over the place.

Approximately two kilometers from her current location.

"Mr. Terence, take this. You should have some water," Rainer offered, handing over to him a bottle of water. "We're getting closer to the exit. Soon enough, we'll finally be able to get out of here. The last round of scouting the area just ended, so they won't be able to find us anytime soon.

Everything else has been taken care of. All we have to do now is to continue walking straight out of this jungle. Nobody will be able to lay a hand on us once we're out."

Grabbing the bottle, Terence suddenly shifted his gaze toward the starry night sky. "Rainer, do you have any idea how long we've been staying here?"

Rainer contemplated about it and told him, "If you take into consideration the day you left JA City, in just another week, it should be two months already."

The jungle was vast and they had to spend most of their time trying to keep themselves out of sight. For that very reason, it took them almost a month just wandering inside that jungle.

Terence stole a glance at the bracelet he had on his wrist which Carla had given him, and his eyes had instantly been filled with so much sorrow.

'Carla, please hold on a little longer. I swear I will be home soon...'

He never really had to say it out loud, because Rainer could tell that Terence had been missing her every single day that they had been in that jungle. After all, it had been such a long time since the last time he saw her.

To ensure that they wouldn't get caught, they decided to toss away their phones to cut off any means of communication with the outside world.

Carla must be scared out of her wits anxiously waiting in JA City. Who wouldn't be if they had been left without being told anything at all?

"Mr. Terence, it's time to move. I've surveyed the area. The coast is clear," Nathan informed him the second he returned.

Wiping his mouth, he quickly stood up and handed the water bottle back over to Rainer.

"We should go now. It would be best to get out of this place without further delay!"

Terence wanted to move quickly for he just couldn't bear the long wait anymore.

But just as they were about to move forward, they got startled when a beam of light suddenly peered through the dense dark forest.
