My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
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 slammed 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 finished his words, I suddenly felt the pinch of 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 nails cut into my flesh.

The last 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 I?" I asked as I struggled to sit up.

"The hospital. You were thrown out on the street. Someone called the police and sent you to the hospital, then the hospital informed me." Aaron poured a glass of warm water and handed it to me. Then, he pulled out a chair and sat next to me.

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

When I composed 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 of comparing himself to Hendrix.

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

"Important? I don't think so." Aaron put the glass back on the table and said sarcastically, "For the sake of your baby, you were willing to become a hostage and put yourself in trouble right in front of us. At that time, you didn't think about us. How cruel do you think I am? How can I live well for the rest of my life, knowing that my sister was slaughtered right in front of my eyes?"
