Love is the Sunshine

Chapter 225 Losing Contact (Part Two)

"What do you mean? What happened to Terence? Isn't he supposed to be in NF taking care of

business at this time?"

Little did Carla know that Edmund and Terence actually rarely got in touch with each other—that was if

they get in touch at all—due to the fact that the two of them weren't really that close. So it didn't come

as a surprise that right now, he wasn't aware of Terence's situation.

"Uncle, I haven't been able to get a hold of Terence since yesterday in the afternoon. It's just that I'm

getting so worried about him! He hasn't been answering any of my calls. I was afraid that something

bad might've happened to him!"

Upon seeing the anxiety written all over her face, he brought out his phone and tried calling Terence

himself. Of course, as Carla had was expecting, there wasn't anyone picking it up. So, Edmund

proceeded to dial another number.

This time, it didn't take too long before someone finally answered.

"Marcus, do you have Terence there with you? Is he busy? What is he doing right now? Why isn't he

answering his phone?" Apparently, Edmund was checking up on Terence through his eldest son

Marcus.

Carla then heaved a heavy sigh, getting so worked up.

Knowing Edmund, Carla thought that he would simply trust his son's words without question. But was

he aware of Terence and Marcus' stained relationship and that they had never really seen eye to eye?

Would Marcus really tell him what was really happening? Could they take his word for it?

"Father, there's no need for you to be so worried. Terence, along with his men went on a field visit for

some of our upcoming projects. He's currently in a remote area right now, and that place is quite

barren, so it might not have enough resources to provide electrical power. I have been through that

area before myself, and it wasn't really that unusual for us to not have any contact with anyone for

about three to five days."

The tone of Marcus' voice seemed so calm and composed.

Bobbing his head along, Edmund replied, "All right then. I got that. In any case, with NF being your

territory, make sure to look after Terence. After all, he is your brother. Okay?"

"Don't worry, I will! You're right. At the end of the day, we're still brothers. You can count on me, father,"

Marcus reassured him.

As soon as he hung up, Edmund shifted his gaze over to Carla and told her, "Terence is doing fine. It's

just that he had to go on a field visit, and this time, it's some place where he wouldn't have easy access

to electricity most of the time. That means he might lose contact with you for about three to five days,

but that's just how it normally is."

"But... But I still find it a little weird! Yesterday, his phone was still ringing, but no one was picking it

up..."

Carla insisted, still feeling so perturbed.

Edmund simply waved his hand and brushed her off to stop her in her tracks. He casually turned

around and headed upstairs straight away, saying, "Haven't I made it clear already? Terence is doing

just fine. Marcus is his brother, so for what reason would he ever lie to me about something like that?

I'm telling you, Terence is okay. He might call you back after two days. For now, you should just go

back home!"

Edmund completely trusted what Marcus said to him. A little bit hopeless, Carla couldn't do anything

but watch him leave, giving her no other choice but to head home just as he had suggested.

Upon walking out and leaving the An's Manor, Carla was still resolutely thinking who else she might be

able to turn to for help. It should be someone whom she could easily get in touch with, someone would

definitely side with Terence.

Edmund was a father to three sons. There was just no way he would ever think that his sons could do

anything to harm each other. But something inside of her was telling her that the situation wasn't as

simple as Marcus was making it out to be.

If it were true that Terence was bound to lose contact with her for a couple of days, she knew he would

have told her about that ahead of time. He was not the type of man who would just leave without telling

her anything and leaving her to worry about him.

That was right! There was one other person who just might be capable of giving her a hand in checking

up on Terence. Theo!

But there was just one problem. She had no way of contacting Theo. How could she get in touch with

him then?

For quite some time, she had pondered about it, until she eventually made up her mind to ask Noah for

Theo's number.

In spite of the fact that she had no way of telling whether Noah had Theo's contact or not, at the very

least, she was aware that he had a wide array of connections. He could locate Theo's whereabouts if

he so ever wished for it.

Carla immediately called Noah up and asked where he was. Then, she wasted no time and instantly

darted toward his hotel.

"What's the matter, Carla? Are you all right? What's the fuss all about?" Noah was pretty surprised

since he wasn't really expecting to hear from her.

Carla was worried she wouldn't be able to provide a clear enough explanation over the phone, so she

just ultimately decided to head straight into his hotel to meet him face to face.

"Noah, could I please ask you for a favor? Can you help me find a way to get in touch with Theo Huo?"

Carla had been so upfront with him about her intentions.

Noah was taken aback. Truth be told, this was probably the first time he had ever heard this name.

However, he didn't utter a single word, and still went ahead and browsed through his phonebook.

Of course, he was aware he didn't have Theo's phone number. But, as luck would have it, he knew of

someone who did have it.

After about five minutes, he gave Carla a phone number she could call. Carla saved it and dialed at

once. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

If it turned out she had only been overthinking things, then that would be so great. But on the off

chance that anything bad really happened to Terence, she was hoping to be of some assistance to him

in any way she possibly could. Time was of the utmost importance at that moment if he had really

gotten into trouble. Theo was one of Terence's trusted friends, and she thought he would be willing to

lend him a hand.

"Hello, May I speak with Theo please? This is Carla..." she couldn't afford losing anymore time, so she

called him up immediately.
