Chapter 2418
“Sheldon, could you go to the restroom by yourself?” Rosalynn asked.
Sheldon looked with uncertainty at the dim restroom.
“Can you come with me? I’m a bit scared,” he responded.
Being only four years old, he was nervous about going in alone.
“Okay, you’ll come with me to the ladies’ room,” she said, amused.
With the restroom empty and it being nighttime, she wasn’t concerned about taking him there.
Rosalynn held his hand and led him towards the ladies’ room.
Next to a stand of tall bamboo, the restroom stood quietly, its surroundings filled with the soft whisper of leaves swaying in the night breeze.
Rosalynn’s smile faded, a sense of unease prickling at her skin, as though she were being watched.
Her gaze caught a sudden movement in the restroom mirror-a figure charging toward her.
Acting on instinct, she swiftly countered.
The intruder, dressed entirely in black with a hat and mask, gripping a handkerchief, clearly intended to attack her by surprise.
She knocked him down, catching him off guard.
He appeared surprised by her quick reaction.
“Who are you?” Rosalynn demanded.
She pulled Sheldon protectively behind her, and her expression hardened.
The masked man remained silent, his eyes behind the mask filled with a menacing glare.
He scrambled to his feet, launching himself at Rosalynn once more.
“Sheldon, find somewhere safe to hide!” Rosalynn instructed urgently, then turned to confront the assailant head-on.
Wide-eyed with fear, Sheldon darted out of the restroom.
They were facing a dangerous adversary!
He needed to locate his dad and other adults to aid Rosalynn!
Meanwhile, the man was surprised to discover Rosalynn’s skill in combat; she was no amateur.
They traded blows repeatedly, but he couldn’t gain the upper hand.
Eventually, Rosalynn knocked him down again.
He grunted, struggling to rise, but Rosalynn swiftly pinned him down.
