Chapter 965 He Missed Her

Meanwhile, in JA City.

--

Terence disconnected the call and stared at the blank screen. He stood up and walked towards the window. The neon lights outside the AJ Building were blinding his vision.

The entire city was still bustling with traffic at night. It was the peak hour and the blaring sound of the honking vehicles filled the air.

Without Carla around, the place seemed eerily quiet.

"Mr. An, are you worried about Mrs. An? Do you want to go to Yu Sea City and see how she is doing?"

Nathan asked.

Even Nathan was worried about Carla at the moment. Yu Sea City was a strange place and he was concerned about Carla's safety. Nathan wondered if Terence was thinking the same.

Terence gazed out of the window with a hand in his pocket. He took a cigarette and began to mindlessly fidget with it. His deep eyes carried an unfathomable expression.

"No, that won't be necessary. She'll be well taken care of,"

he said casually. Nathan couldn't comprehend Terence's emotions but he understood what he meant.

Nathan heard that Steven had managed to escape detention from his father. He would have definitely gone to Yu Sea City.

"Are you sure about that, sir?"

Nathan asked.

Terence had turned into an emotionless wreck after Carla's departure. He had stopped smiling and laughing. He was engrossed in his work and went home only to spend time with his children. Carla had taken Terence's heart along with her.

He hardly took part in social activities, and even if he did, he continued to remain dull and morose.

Terence was utterly and hopelessly in love with Carla. He could not even think of another woman.

"Now is not the time to worry about my fears and worries. It doesn't matter now. Yu Sea City is where she belongs. It's her world now. She has her new family and friends there. There are people who are willing to do anything for her."

Terence leaned against the wall and continued to stare out of the window. He was indeed feeling lonely but his wife's wishes were more important to him.

"She is a charming woman who is capable of captivating the hearts of people. All I can do is be there for her and support her success," Terence said.

If Carla was an ordinary woman, things would have been different. He would have showered her with wealth and happiness.

But she was not and Terence had to accept that.

He wanted Carla to understand her true potential and make her reach greater heights.

"But aren't you afraid of losing h

e man of my dreams. How can I fall asleep when he is far away from me?"

Carla sent, chuckling at her choice of words.

She burst into a fit of laughter when she read Terence's reply. "I'm impressed. But I know that you aren't able to fall asleep now because you slept too much early in the evening."

As Carla was happily chatting with her husband, there was a soft knock on the door.

Thinking that it was Carol who had come to give her the medicine, Carla answered without turning to see who it was.

"Come in."

Her eyes were fixed on the phone screen as she continued to type her message.

Steven walked in with the bowl of medicine that was specially prepared for Carla. He saw Carla grinning happily when he accidentally got a glimpse of her message.

"Drink the medicine before it gets cold and sleep well."

Carla jerked up when she heard Steven's voice. She looked at him and pulled the quilt closer to her body.

She was about to ask him about Carol but swallowed her words when she remembered her promise.

She quickly typed a message saying she needed to take her medicine and go to bed. She put down the phone after sending the message to Terence.

Carla sighed loudly and picked the bowl.

She was relieved to see the sugar cubes on the table.

She drank the medicine in one gulp.

She scrunched her nose and tossed a sugar cube into her mouth.

Steven placed his hand on Carla's forehead to check her temperature.

"You still have a fever, but your body has cooled down a bit."

Steven withdrew his hand and smiled at her.

"I'll stay tonight. You might need me in case your temperature spikes up again tonight."
