Chapter 1716


    "Do you still remember what I said?"


    Sebastian rested his fingers on the edge of the stone bed and looked sideways at me with a faint smile, which made me shudder.


    I was shocked, but I still didn’t answer.


    Sebastian had said so many things to me, how could I remember all of them clearly?


    What''s more, I would rather not meet him again for the rest of my life


    Seeing that I did not speak, Sebastian was not angry at all. Instead, he whispered to me, "Don''t worry. I had been pining after you for a long time, but


    now I have changed my mind. There is plenty offish in the sea."


    Listening to what he said, I should have felt relieved, but for some reason, my fear grew stronger and stronger.


    "That''s good." I pretended to be calm and said lightly, "I wish you a life full of happiness.”


    "Of course.” Sebastian raised his eyebrows while smiling, but he suddenly changed the subject. "But for me to be happy. I need your help."


    Sure enough, he had other tricks up his sleeve.


    However, I didn''t want to be so passive.


    "Yes, as long as you return my child to me, we can talk."


    After listening to me, Sebastian lowered his eyes and smiled softly. "Why do you think that I am negotiating with you?"


    As his voice fell, the smile on his face abruptly stopped.


    There was a loud bang behind me, and the heavy iron door mmed open. A group of people in white coats and masks broke in, grabbed my hand,


    and tied me to the stone bed in a swift motion


    When I finally reacted, my body had been tied to the bed with duct tape, and I was tightly bound. The only thing that I could move was my ankles and


    wrists.


    Sebastian walked near to my head and leaned over me, blocking the light from above. He looked down at me. "Don''t worry. It won''t take long.”


    As he finishechhis words, I suddenly


    felt the pinckof a needle in my thigh,


    and then the pain became more and


    more intense. I was in so much pain


    that I broke out in cold sweat. I


    clenched my fists so hard that my


    nafs cut into my flesh. Content

    Thest thing I remembered before I lost consciousness was the eerie smile on Sebastian''s


    face.


    When I opened my eyes, everything was pure white, and the smell of disinfectant lingered on my nose.


    "Arianna, you''re awake." It was Aaron''s voice.


    Following the voice, I turned around and saw him.


    "Where am 1?" I asked as I struggled to sit up.


    "The hospital. You were thrown out


    on the street" Someone called the


    police angsent you to the hospital;


    then the hospital informed me.”


    Aaron poured a ss of warmiwater


    and-ianded it to me. Then, hey pulled


    outa chair and sat next tome.

    Maybe it was because I had been unconscious for too long, my throat felt parched and thirsty. I gulped down half the ss of water before finally


    stopping.


    When Iposed myself, I realized that Hendrix wasn''t around. So I asked, "Where''s Hendrix?"


    Hendrix''s power in Mesville was stronger than Aaron''s, so he should have received the information about my whereabouts before Aaron.


    "Don''t you have a conscience? I''ve traveled such a long way to see you, but all you want to see is Hendrix." Aaron could never change his bad habit


    ofparing himself to Hendrix


    Feeling a little helpless, I passed the ss to him and exined, "I was just asking casually. Both of you are very important to me."


    ‘Important? I don''t think so." Aaron


    put the ss hack on the table and


    said sarcastically, "For the sake of


    your baby, you werewillingto ~~


    be @ hostage and put yourself


    in troule right in front of us. Atthat


    timezyou didn''t think about us How


    cruel do you think I am? How can I


    live well for the rest of myTife,


    knowing that my sister was


    ughtered right in front of my


    eyes?"
