Chapter 538 Rescuing Her

Albeit momentarily startled, Rose suppressed her uneasiness and asked, "Could you tell me where you saw her?"

The man pointed toward the hill. "There. A pretty girl about your height seemed to have twisted her ankle. She just sat there silently," he spoke with certainty.

Rose quickly thanked him. "Thank you so much." The man didn't respond to her and simply closed his eyes to resume his rest.

Naturally, he didn't hear a word Rose said and dazedly watched as she left the pavilion and ascended the hill. Filled with countless questions, he wanted to follow her but found that his limbs had gone weak. He couldn't stand up.
