Sebastian drove following the directions the masked man gave him, and found a building.


    He got out of the car and rushed inside, only to find a person tied to a pir, crying sadly.


    Rosalie heard the footsteps, and looked up to see Sebastian rushing toward her.


    "Rose!" He rushed up to her, and cupped her face in his hands. "Rose, I finally found you! Are you hurt?"


    He brushed her fringe off her forehead, and found an abrasion on her forehead. The sight broke his heart and filled him with rage.


    Rosalie looked dazed, and immediately asked while looking behind Sebastian, "Where is Theo? Where is he?"


    The masked man showed her a video, in which she saw Sebastian and Theodore heading here together.


    Hearing Rosalie show such concern to Theodore displeased Sebastian greatly. He immediately untied her from the pir. Rosalie''s legs were sore; she copsed backward, her body unable to stand it any longer.


    Sebastian held her at once. "Rose, I''ll take you home. I''ll protect you, and I''ll never let anything happen to you again."


    He hauled Rosalie in his arms to take her away from this ce.


    “Seb, quick, tell me. Where is Theo right now?" Rosalie asked again.


    The masked man forced her to make a choice, and she had no choice but to choose one of the two. Otherwise, both of them would die-she didn''t want that to happen to any of them.


    No matter who she chose, it hurt.Copyright N?v/el/Dra/ma.Org.


    "He''s fine, and he''s gone home," Sebastian said coldly.


    He had risked his life toe save her too, but all she cared about was Theodore. If he had been shot by that arrow, would she still ask him about Theodore?


    Sebastian reminded himself not to


    get angry and that Rosalie chose him at the most critical moment, thereby proving that he was the most important person to her. As for Theodore, he was probably already dead and no longer posed any threat to Sebastian.


    "He''s fine? Really?" Rosalie said in disbelief.


    Sebastian nodded. "He''s fine, really. I''ll take you home now."


    Rosalie sensed the evasiveness in Sebastian''s eyes, and grabbed his cor. "Seb, tell me the truth! What happened to Theo? That man made me choose. I chose you, so Theo must be injured. How could he possibly be fine?"


    "He''s really fine. Rose, stop asking. I''ll take you home, it''s not safe here.”


    "No!"


    Rosalie started struggling against Sebastian''s hold. A strong sense of uneasiness filled her chest, which started hurting.


    “Sebastian Carter, tell me where Theo is right now and how he''s doing! Don''t lie to me!"


    Sebastian almost fell. He hurriedly put Rosalie back down on the ground, worried that she might fall from his arms. He hugged her tight, and said, "Rose, don''t be like this. Calm down. Your safety is of utmost priority right now."


    The more worried she was about Theodore, the angrier Sebastian felt. She even called him by his full name!


    "How am I supposed to remain calm? Seb, I''m begging you. Tell me how Theo''s doing! I don''t believe that he''s fine. I want to call him! Where''s your phone? Let me use your phone, please!"


    Rosalie wanted to grab his phone from his pocket, but found it empty.


    "I didn''t bring my phone. I was worried the abductor would hurt you, so I didn''t bring anymunication devices and came alone," Sebastian said.


    On the way here, Sebastian had


    smashed his phone. He destroyed


    Theodore''s phone and snatched it, so he decided to throw his phone away just in case. Otherwise, if he was found to be the only one with a phone while Theodore''s corpse had none, others might find him suspicious.
