Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 220 72% Sebastian had promised to be back in two hours, and true to his word, he returned to the Shallow Bay Area right on time.

Initially, Stephanie had felt too tired and wanted to sleep, but thoughts of Ella's situation kept her on edge. So when Sebastian cback, she was still awake, waiting anxiously.

Sebastian took off his coat and walked over. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "Waiting for you," Stephanie mumbled.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?" He could tell something was bothering her. She loved her sleep too much to stay up for no reason.

"It's about Ella. She's really scared of Lorenzo. You might need to send someone to pick her up, Stephanie replied.

Sebastian asked, "Did she say she's scared?" "Yeah." Stephanie nodded. Now that Ella had opened up first, Stephanie felt even more committed to helping. After all, Ella was one of her few true friends who had always been there for her during the issues at the Hart residence.

"I'll give Lorenzo a call," Sebastian said and took out his phone.

He thought, 'There's no need to send someone. If Ella doesn't want to be with Lorenzo, just have him drop her off at Stephanie's villa.

'Besides, he's always been a loner; he probably doesn't even like having her around to bother him.' The call connected quickly. Lorenzo's voice cthrough. "Hello." "How's Ella?" Sebastian asked.

"She's doing fine." "She's scared of you?" There was a brief silence on Lorenzo's end.

Stephanie frowned slightly. 'Couldn't Sebastian be gentle? Ella is still with Lorenzo right now; is it really okay for Sebastian to be so direct?' Lorenzo finally replied, "Is there anything she's not scared of?" Stephanie was at a loss for words.

Sebastian said, "If she doesn't want to stay with you, then send her to Stefi's villa small manor at Mount Red, which was huge and had three manors in total.

Lorenzo responded, "She can't go to Mount Red right now." "Why not?" Sebastian asked.

Red Oak Mountain." Stephanie owned a Lorenzo explained, "She's being hunted right now. Unless I send her to the Giovanni residence, there's nowhere else that is safe." 'Send her to the Giovanni residence?' Stephanie paused for a moment and said, "That works too." She looked eagerly at Sebastian, pleading for his approval.

1/4 09:52 Sat, 22 Mar Chapter 220 Sebastian replied. "Then go ahead and send her there.” "That won't work either," Lorenzo said.

"What's wrong now?" Sebastian frowned-even the Giovannis couldn't protect Ella? Lorenzo explained, "We need to figure out who's behind this chase first. I suspect it's a setup, possibly targeting...

Lorenzo didn't finish his sentence, but both Sebastian and Stephanie understood perfectly.

Stephanie blurted out, "Ella wouldn't be involved." "She wouldn't, but the people behind her might, Lorenzo said.

Stephanie's heart sank. 'What do we do now?' Sebastian asked, "What's your plan then?" Lorenzo replied, "Let her stay withfor now. I'll look into this." 'But Ella is scared of Lorenzo.' Stephanie kept throwing Sebastian pleading looks.

But this tSebastian didn't budge. He told Lorenzo, “Then I'll leave her to you." Stephanie gasped. 'Oh no, there goes my friendship.

Sebastian hung up the phone and noticed Stephanie looking upset. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"She wouldn't get involved," Stephanie insisted.

Sebastian replied softly, "True, but we can't be sure about her pursuers." "But she's afraid of Lorenzo," Stephanie said. Ella's frightened voice on the phone made her worry even more.

Sebastian gently ruffled her soft hair. "Don't worry. Lorenzo won't harm her.” Stephanie fell silent. 'Lorenzo might not harm Ella, but he might frighten her to death.

"Maybe Ella will call you tomorrow, okay?" Sebastian comforted.

"Alright en,” Sebastian said. She didn't say anything else. It was getting late, so she decided to wait until the next day for Ella to call her to talk about it.

****** That night, Stephanie clung tightly to Sebastian-she was scared too. Lying on his warm arm, she snuggled in to find a cozy spot and closed her eyes. Being close to him felt much safer than keeping her distance.

Sebastian saw through her simple thoughts and chuckled softly, "Stefi-” "Don't talk. I'm really tired," Stephanie interrupted before he could continue. She didn't want to hear another word, especially when they were in bed. Continuing the conversation might lead to something she preferred to avoid.

***** Far away in Fiorenza, Ella was delirious with the fever that night. Lorenzo couldn't do anything but call Eric to cover.

It was 2 AM when Eric, drinking with Bernard and Cecil, received the call. "Now?" he asked.

Well.. they might as well just chat until they drove each other nuts, Canil dongin ***** At the villa, Ella was running a high fever. She clutched onto Lorenzo's arm and repeatedly murmured "Mom." Lorenzo felt quite stressed. After a tiring day dealing with the Dohrn family, he was worn out. Now, he had to take care of Ella. He had never done such detailed work before.

"I should just send you to the Giovanni residence, Lorenzo muttered-at least she'd be safe there.

The doctor quickly arrived with Eric. Upon seeing Ella's high fever, he immediately administered ano m injection. Then he turned to Lorenzo, saying, "Her fever is pretty high. We might need to use sphysical cooling methods" "What's that?" Lorenzo asked.

The doctor replied, "Wipe her body with warm water." Eric and Lorenzo exchanged glances before looking at the doctor. They both realized the awkwardness of the situation. The room was filled with men-who was going to do it? Eric finally said, "Well, Cecil and the others are still at the bar, probably drinking too much. I need to go pick them up."

He thought, 'Good grief, I shouldn't have come. Now that I don't even know what the girl lying in bed means to Lorenzo, why am I getting involved? But if Lorenzo brought her back, she must be special. I really shouldn't be here. Just as Eric took a couple of steps, Lorenzo's cold voice sliced through the air. "Stop." Eric's body stiffened as he turned around. "Do you need anything?" "Go find a female servant.

Lorenzo narrowed his eyes. "Then what should we do? "You handle it." Eric shrugged. There was no way he and the doctor could do that-it wasn't their woman and the dangerous.
