Upon hearing this, she was stunned for quite a while before suddenly having a big reaction—instinctively stepping back.
Ann, who had only stepped back two steps, accidentally stepped on something on the ground—it seemed to be a rolling pin... This was the storeroom, filled with various odds and ends.
Ann lost her balance because she stepped on the round stick, and her body tilted backward, hitting her waist, and finally fell to the ground.
At this moment, a basin dislodged by the cabinet was about to fall directly on Ann—she couldn't help but instinctively protect her head with her hands... hoping it wouldn't hurt too much.
It didn't.
Slowly opening her eyes, Ann found that the old basin was now being held by the young man who had come out of the dark passage.
"Are you okay?"
"W-w-who are you?!" In a panic, Ann randomly grabbed the rolling pin that had tripped her and held it in both hands.
