Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 118 Who Used My Name For This Dirty Deed (Part One)

Terence didn't ask any more questions. As soon as he hung up the phone he ran out the door of the

mansion.

"Rainer, tell my father that I have something very urgent to attend to. I'm leaving now!"

As he called out, he saw the Lamborghini sports car parked outside. Initially he was going take that

thinking it would be the fastest car to get to Carla and Sean. But then a thought crossed his mind. He

quickly jumped into the Maybach that was parked next to it instead.

The sports car could only carry two people, so Terence decided to take the other one which had more

room.

Nathan had sharp eyes. When he saw Terence running out in a hurry, he immediately drove another

car and followed Terence without asking.

Terence drove as fast as he could all the way and pulled up in front of Carla's apartment.

He ran up the stairs and Nathan quickly followed.

When Terence saw Sean's little face had been beaten black and blue he flew into a rage and almost

kicked the table over in anger. "How could this happen? Sean, tell me who beat you so badly? Don't be

afraid. I'll back you up and help you get revenge right away!"

When Sean saw his hero Terence, he thought of Terence as a knight in shining armor. He had been

crying so bitterly and was so sad and swollen that he couldn't speak at all.

Nathan was also distressed when he saw the little boy's face so badly beaten. He went to Sean and

consoled him softly. Then he advised Terence and Carla in a calm low voice, "Mr. Terence, Miss Carla,

please try and calm down. It's very late now. Even if we can get in touch with the school the students

have all returned home and are probably in bed by now. Besides, Sean needs to be seen by a doctor

now. I'll contact the school tomorrow morning and find out the truth."

Carla thought it through and agreed with Nathan. "Nathan is right. We should find out the fact first

before we do anything. If the school director believes that it's Sean's fault then he will be expelled from

the school and sent back to BH City. Sean likes this school so much and pays great attention to dignity.

If he gets kicked out he will be looked down on by his peers. But let's take him to the hospital first."

When Terence stared at Sean's badly beaten face his heart ached with anger and sorrow. He balled his

fists and clenched his teeth. The muscles in his body tensed. 'Who could be so cruel as to beat a small

child so badly?'

"Sean, I promise you! No one will dare drive you out of JA City as long as I'm here!"

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor who saw to Sean made small jokes to cheer him up when

he saw Sean's teary face. After a thorough examination, the doctor informed them that fortunately all of

the injuries were only superficial and external. No bones had been fractured and there was no brain

swelling. Sean would make a full recovery after a few days of rest.

The doctor prescribed some medicine and told Sean to have plenty of rest. Both Carla and Terence

heaved a sigh of relief and thanked the doctor on Sean's behalf. By the time they had finished at the

hospital it was quite late. Terence drove Carla and Sean back to the apartment.

Carla gave Sean a painkiller and put him to bed.

Then she tried to go to bed herself. But as she lay there, she tossed and turned unable to get to sleep.

All that kept going through her mind was what had happened to poor Sean. And why did it happen? It

couldn't have just been a school playground incident. It just didn't make any sense.

'Why was Sean suddenly beaten up? He didn't provoke anyone recently.'

Terence had been on a phone call and when he finished, he went into Carla's room to check on her.

She was still awake and sitting up in bed. He sat down on the edge of her bed and put his arms around

her pulling her gently into his arms. "Try not to worry too much about Sean. He will be fine. We'll find

the truth out tomorrow. So please just try and get some sleep for now. We'll go to the school first thing

in the morning."

"Okay. I'll try to sleep." She knew that it was no use worrying about it now. She eventually closed her

eyes and forced herself to sleep. She needed her wits about her for tomorrow there might be a battle to

fight.

"Carla, know that I am here for you. I will get to the bottom of this and it won't happen a second time,"

Terence whispered as he caressed her hair and gazed off into the distance.

It had been such a long night—

The morning had finally arrived. As promised, Terence drove Carla and Sean to the school.

Last night, Terence made a call to Nathan to tell him not to contact the school. He wanted to find out

who was behind Sean's beating but he wanted to add an element of surprise and not alert the enemy in

advance.

He didn't want to give the school director a chance to prepare a false story beforehand, so he could get

the truth out easier. The school director's name was Cameron. He was in his office when they had

arrived. Terence hid his identity by wearing a pair of dark sunglasses so that Cameron wouldn't

recognize him.

"Are you two Sean's guardians?"

Cameron first glanced at Terence and then turned to Carla. He noticed that they were too young to be

Sean's parents. "You're not Sean's parents, are you?"

"No, I'm his sister," Carla said as she put a hand on Sean's shoulder.

Sean stood between Carla and Terence.

"You're his sister? Why didn't your parents come? Where are your parents?" Cameron asked as he sat

casually on the chair and crossed his legs looking down at Carla from his glasses.

"Our parents had passed away a long time ago, Mr. Cameron. I'm Sean's guardian. I'm here to ask you

why my brother was beaten up like that yesterday?

And why wasn't I notified about it as soon as it had happened?"

Usually, if children were involved in a fight at the school, their parents were notified of it immediately. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

However, Carla didn't know anything about it until Sean had come home with bruises. It was highly

unusual.

Carla put her arm around Sean's shoulders and stepped closer to question the director about the

incident.

Terence remained in the background careful not to draw any attention to himself. He was still waiting

for the right moment to expose who he was.

He thought he had made the right decision to stop Nathan from calling the school beforehand.

Otherwise, the director would have put his guard up and Terence would never have known that the

director should treat Carla so rudely.
