My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 911

I fainted right there in the lounge and with my last trace of consciousness, I saw the servants rushing in. I felt relief flood my heart.

When I woke up, it was without a doubt that I was in the hospital. As expected, Kaleb was here.

"You're awake?" He asked flatly.

Tiago frowned. "Why did you try to kill yourself?"

I looked at Westin and his face was cold. I then looked over at the expressions of Tiago and Kaleb. I laid there stunned for a moment.

So, Westin didn't tell Kaleb that I tried to pull a scheme against him?

I gave him a look and turned to look at Kaleb. I said in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Kaleb, I'll trade my life fortheirs!"

Kaleb frowned. "Trade for what?"

"I'll exchange my life for theirs!"

Kaleb jeered. "One life for four. Where do you get your confidence from?"

"Aren't you curious about my connection with the Milton family?" I asked, my throat aching with every word I spoke.

He raised his eyebrows. "Does it have anything to do with me?"

I...

I looked at him speechlessly for a moment. After gathering my thoughts, I said, "The Milton family has been looking for me everywhere, and you had plans to send me back. Why not just do me a favor and let my friends go?"

"Hey!" Tiago raised his voice at me. "Has your brain turned to mush, woman? How dare you talk about this in front of Mr. Kaleb!"

I pressed my lips together and didn't say anything, my gaze filled on Kaleb.

After a while, Kaleb said, "So, what's your relationship with the Milton family?"

"It's much more complex than you'd think it is!" I had no choice but to confess. They were afraid of the Milton family. The stronger and more complex my connection with the Milton family seemed, the bigger the advantage I had to bargain with them with.

His lips curled, but he still did not speak. After looking at me for a moment, he said, "The terms and conditions are mutual."

I was stunned for a moment, then sobered up. "What do you want?"

His dark gaze fell on my arm, where it had been wrapped with a bandage. It was then that a doctor came in to change the dressing.

He asked him casually, "When will the wound be fully healed?"

The doctor looked at him a little confused. Tiago spoke to the doctor in the Myanway language.

The doctor said a few words in response, and left.

After a while, he looked at me and said, "See you in three days. Take care of that injury."

I was uncertain if he would do anything to Naomi and the others in these three days. I quickly asked, "What about my friends?"

"They will be safe and sound!"

After that, he left.

Three days later.

Chaotic and frenzied music blasted through the speakers in the red-light district. There were dancers up on the stage and people screaming madly under the stage.

I was not used to the atmosphere here. I felt a little restless sitting next to Kaleb, who was calmly drinking his wine.

"Mr. Becker, what do I need to do?" The doctor had asked for an update on my condition while I was at the hospital in those three days. I wondered, but I never thought that the first thing he would do was to bring me here right after I was discharged from the hospital.

Only Kaleb and I were in the large private room. Many beautiful escorts who were wandering around looked at us from time to time.

Needless to say, these women probably regarded him as their prey.

After all, he seemed to be rich and handsome.

"Keep quiet!" said Kaleb, glancing at me.

I was startled. I pursed my lips and sat down, feeling a little annoyed.

It was not easy to be quiet here.

I noticed that Tiago and Westin, who wasn't far away before, seemed to have left.

It was then that Kaleb, who had been drinking calmly, put on a listening device.
