âAre you all right?â Rosalynn asked in a gentle voice.
âYes.
â The girl nodded.
Just then, an anxious voice came from the streets outside.
âAlice, where are you?â
âOver here!â
Relief washed over the girlâs face as she ran toward the end of the alley and into the arms of a young man.
Rosalynn couldnât help but purse her lips at the sight of their reunion.
She closed her eyes and tried to block out images that suddenly flashed in her mind.
She had to take several more breaths to regain her composure after that.
âYou saved my sister.
Thank you very much.
â
The young man took the girlâs hand and pulled her back to stand in front of Rosalyn.
âYouâre welcome.
â
âAre you here on a trip? Alice says that the man who assaulted her is a notorious thug in this area.
He is a member of an underground organization.
They might make things difficult for you during your stay.
Please be careful from now on.
â
The young manâs brows furrowed with genuine worry.
âI see,â Rosalynn replied with a faint smile.
âIâll keep that in mind.
Thank you for your concern.

The siblings thanked her once more before running off.
Rosalynn heaved a deep sigh, straightened her clothes and gathered her stuff, then walked away as well.
She continued down the lively street until she found a roadside stall.
She plopped down on an empty stool and ordered some food.
She had completely calmed down by then, and ate the food with much interest.
There certainly was a curious taste to the local cuisine.
Halfway through her meal, Brian suddenly appeared by her side.
âRosalynn! Why werenât you answering my calls?â
Brian eyed Rosalyn with obvious displeasure.
Rosalynn looked up from her plate, a hint of tenderness passing over her eyes as they landed on his familiar face.
But it vanished in the next second.
