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.

She headed in the direction the man had pointed in and went up the stairs. On her way, she paid attention to the areas around the trees so she wouldn't miss Harriette. Moments after Rose left, the man resting in the pavilion opened his eyes once again and trailed after her. Meanwhile, the other man...

Since Rose entered the pavilion, Elijah Xanth had been dazed by her eyes and kept staring at her. A voice in his head repeatedly told him, "This girl... looks just like her!"

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.

It wasn't until he noticed the murderous intent of that man leaving the pavilion that Elijah realized something. As if motivated with a force, he stood and trailed after them.

She continued calling Harriette's name as she searched for her. When she arrived at another branching path, a voice behind her halted her steps.

"Stop calling for her."

When she turned around, she realized it was the man who had given her directions earlier. Instantly, she knew Harriette
