His laughter rang through the phone. "Arianna, you really value friendship. I'm starting to look forward to meeting you. However, don't try to hide anything from me. Otherwise, even if your daughter manages to find the right bone marrow, I will make sure she is unable to leave her bed for the rest of her life. Don't doubt my capabilities."
After that, he laughed and bade me farewell. He sent the address to me after he hung up the phone.
I pursed my lips and looked at the address. It was in the busiest area in the city center. I could not help but sigh with relief. If it was in the city center, even if he had the guts, he would not be able to harm me in Jarold City.
Putting away the phone, I saw Valerie coming back. She had left to retrieve the medicine prescribed for me. She looked at me and said, "You have to take these medicines accordingly. It's good for the baby. Take it twice a day, in the morning and at night."
I nodded and put the medicine into my bag, wondering how to tell her I wanted to go out for a while.
The door of the emergency room was opened, and a group of doctors pushed Anne out of the operating room. Valerie and I came to meet them and followed them to the ward. After the doctor left, Anne was still not awake.
I looked at Valerie and said, "Mom, I'm going to buy something. Help me take good care of Anne. I'll be back soon."
She looked at the time and nodded slightly. "Just go, I'll take care of her!"
I took a taxi to the address Sebastian sent me, a cafe. Fortunately, it was not far from the hospital. After getting off the taxi, I went straight into the cafe and found that Sebastian had arrived.
It seemed that he had been waiting for a while. When he saw me, he smiled gently as usual. "I didn't think you'd come back." Then, he called the waiter over to take our order.
I looked at him and said, "I hope we can talk quickly!"
He pursed his lips and looked at me indifferently. "So, in your opinion, we are not even friends?"
"Do you think we should be friends?" I looked at him and suppressed my anger. Ever since he tried to shoot Hendrix to death in Oakland, I had not been a friend to him. Instead, an enemy.
He looked at me with a sad smile and said, "You clearly know that I have never meant you harm." "What counts as harm?" I sneered, "Mr. Milton, you'd better not talk about these useless things. Since you have planned to get close to me since the beginning, no matter what your purpose is, it doesn't matter to me. Let's get down to business!"
He pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes slightly, and gazed at me. "Well, since you want to talk about business, then let's talk about the sandalwood box you promised me in Myanway. I brought you back safe and sound, while you gave me a replica. Arianna, in your opinion, I'm no different from a fool."
I was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he knew about the box. I pursed my lips slightly and looked at him, "I know nothing about that box. I gave it to you because you wanted it. That box was indeed given to me by my grandmother. I don't know what the significance of that box is for you, and I have no idea what you want from the box!"
He scoffed. "You know how to avoid your responsibilities. Fine, then. Since you don't want to give me the real box, then there's no point in me looking for you. Your daughter's life has nothing to do with me."
I frowned and said, "I really don't know where it is now. It has been in the villa all these years. It's being safeguarded by Hendrix."
