Chapter 340
Aria smiled faintly and said nothing .
Fryderyk turned to Sebastian and said , “ I’ll have two officers go with you to the hospital ”
Sebastian was still in a daze and didn’t reply .
His friends quickly rushed over and surrounded him , talking over each other .
“ Sebastian , are you okay? That scared the hell out of us ! ”
“ How’s your neck ? Do you need to go to the hospital ? ”
His friends ‘ voices were laced with concern as they recalled the dangerous moment just now .
But Sebastian seemed not to hear any of them , and his gaze was still fixed on Aria in the distance .
In his mind , Sebastian kept replaying that life – threatening moment earlier . If Aria hadn’t yanked him , that knife would’ve gone straight into his neck .
His heart skipped a beat , then began racing wildly out of control at the thought of it .
Aria was chatting with White Fox , a relaxed smile playing at the corners of her lips .
Sebastian swallowed hard , his throat suddenly dry .
“ Hey , Sebastian ! ” One of his friends waved a hand in front of his face . “ What are you staring at ? You totally zoned out . ”
Sebastian finally snapped out of his daze , the tips of his ears turning red . “ Oh , nothing , ” he muttered .
His friends followed his gaze and saw Aria walking away .
Realization hit them , and they started teasing . “ Oh , so you were looking at that pretty girl ! ”
“ Usually it’s the guy saving the beautiful lady , but it is the other way around for you . Lucky guy ! ”
“ Damn , she’s got skills ! That guy had a gun , but she took him down and saved your ass ! ”
Recalling that intense scene , they felt both lingering fear and a surge of excitement .
They were all amazed by Aria’s moves :
Sebastian’s gaze lingered on her retreating figure as she disappeared around the stairwell corner with the officers .
Sebastian asked , “ Do you guys know her ? ”
The group shook their heads . “ We were too far away to get a good look . ”
Right then , two officers approached . One of them said to Sebastian , “ We’ll escort you to the hospital for a check – up . ”
It was only then that Sebastian’s friends snapped out of it . “ Right , right ! To the hospital ! ”
One of them urged anxiously , “ Alright , stop staring . She’s gone . Fryderyk seems to know her , You can go thank her properly another day . ”
Sebastian nodded and said , “ Yeah , I’ll get to see her again .”

Sebastian purposely changed into a high – collared sweater to cover the marks on his neck before going home .
Seeing him return , Benjamin finally relaxed , but gave a cold snort . “ What a surprise ! You’re back early today !
Sebastian thought , ‘ How could I not be ? I got taken hostage before I even got inside
the private room and almost got myself killed :
Thinking about how close he came to never seeing his family again , Sebastian’s eyes turned red . “ Grandpa , you should get some rest
Benjamin felt like his grandson was acting a bit strange tonight , but didn’t think too much of it . “ Aria is coming over early tomorrow . Be up early and make a good impression . ”
Whatever sentiment Sebastian had was gone in an instant . “ Grandpa , I’ve said it before . I’m interested in Aria . I don’t want a blind date : I like …
A side profile flashed through his mind , and his heart skipped again .
“ Alright , alright , ” Benjamin grumbled . “ I know you like the gentle type … whatever . Aria wouldn’t be interested in you anyway ”
A thought crossed Sebastian’s mind . ‘ It’s not like I only go for the sweet , gentle type . That lady is tough , but I like her !
Seeing his grandson remain silent , Benjamin waved his hand irritably and said , “ Alright , go to bed early . And don’t embarrass me tomorrow . ”
Sebastian nodded and turned to head back to his room .
He had no plans to make a good impression . He was going to find Fryderyk and get that lady’s number .
