Chapter 186
“Her door’s open; she’s back! Awesome!” Roman’s sweet voice echoed from outside the door. Astrid turned around and saw the little guy running towards her.
Dropping what she held onto the couch, she squatted down to pick up Roman, kissing his chubby cheek. “Long time no see, Roman. I’ve missed you!”
“I’ve missed you too!” Roman responded, hugging Astrid’s neck happily. Spotting the odd items on the sofa, he exclaimed, “What are these? Tiny flashlights?”
“Hm? Oh, it’s nothing.” Astrid replied with a smile. Elio, however, had already moved to pick up the can of pepper spray.
Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Did you buy this?”
“Nope, the guys gave it to me,” Astrid responded, noticing a slight change in Elio’s expression.
Elio frowned, “So, you think this stuff would be useful to me?”
“Well, we wouldn’t know unless we try, right?” Astrid said, gripping a taser, a smirk on her face.
Roman, curious, picked up the powerful flashlight and directed it into Elio’s eyes. Suddenly Elio couldn’t see and shouted, “Roman!!! I’m blind!”
“I’m sorry!!” Roman, terrified at Elio’s reaction, apologized.
He had no idea this was no ordinary flashlight.
Had he known it would blind Elio, he would never have casually pressed the button.
Seeing his panic, Astrid soothed him, “Roman, you should only shine this at the bad guys‘ eyes, not your dad’s.”
“I know, I’m sorry…” Roman pouted, tears streaming down his face. “Will Elio go blind?”
