The next day.
Quill had just woken up when he saw Minerva's text message.
Seeing the content of the text message, Quill was stunned for a moment. Then he felt relieved and replied. "Be careful. If anything happens, call me." Then, he put away his phone and went to wash up, put on his clothes, had his breakfast and went to work as usual.
His life had always been in such a regular pattern. For so many years, there had been no change, and no other woman around him had interfered with his life.
Apart from the years after he found his sister, Quill flew abroad from tto time, but what he sacrificed was his personal rest time. When it cto work, he didn't fall behind at all.
On the other side, Minerva and the others had already arrived at the neighboring city. Since they traveled late at night, they went straight to their hotel that night. After that, they fully rested before going to the temple on St. Anne Mount to pray.
Minerva and Vera slept in the car for two hours, but their backs were sore because of their poor sleeping posture, so the moment they saw the bed, they laid on it immediately.
The next day, everyone slept until around ten in the morning before they got up to meet.
During their meal, Sam explained to them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I have consulted with them. It is said that St. Anne Mount is very efficacious, so many people cfrom all over the country to pray. I heard that the people whose wishes were granted cback to redeem their vows." Vera thought it was true.
"Redeem a vow? Does it mean that once my wish has been granted, I have to return here purposely?" Sam nodded, "Yes." Vera widened her eyes in surprise, "Really? I thought... everyone was just seeking peace of mind." Sam smiled faintly. Who could actually tell if this was true? It could be that the person worked harder to get what they wanted, and that was why their wish was granted.
After all, no one could get anything without working for it.
It was still very difficult to get what one desired.
He did not continue talking, but Vera's heart was beating fast.
If it was really so efficacious, could it be possible for her dream to ctrue? Thinking of this, Vera quickly lowered her head and ate.
"Young Madam, well take a cab to St. Anne Mount after eating. I heard that there's a road built over there that allows cars to enter until halfway up the mountain. However, I've heard from the wishers that if we walk starting from the first step at the bottom of St. Anne Mount, there's a higher chance that well realize our wishes." Before Minerva could say anything, Vera immediately raised her head and replied.
"Then let's start from the first step!" Sam was speechless.
He glanced at her and reminded her, "Young Madam is pregnant." Hearing this, Vera lowered her face, "Oh, yeah, if Minerva started walking from the very first step, her body might not be able to take it." "Sorry, Minerva, I didn't think of it just now." However, Minerva also took Sam's words to her heart and looked out of the window.
No matter what the result was, praying was a matter of sincerity, and one should not be disrespectful. One may not believe in it, but one should still be respectful.
It was the sas a small village with its own customs. When you entered a village, you had to follow their rules. If you insisted on breaking the customs and not being respectful, the villagers would feel offended.
Worshipping God was actually the sas this. Both had to be sincere. If one was careless and disdainful, it would be better not to come.
Thinking of this, Minerva said.
"Let's start from the first step." "Minerva?" Vera was surprised, "You just said..." "Yeah, since we are here, let's show our sincerity. These steps are not many, so it doesn't matter if we walked." "But..." "That's decided. I'm not worried, so don't worry about me. If there is anything wrong, I will tell you in advance." "Okay, whenever you don't feel well, you must stop and rest." "Okay." After the three of them finished their meal, they headed straight for St. Anne Mount.
When they arrived, they found that many people cto pray; there were even foreigners.
Vera whispered, "Do you think the foreigners speak French when they pray? Do you think our God understands French?" maybe their English is very fluent?" Lets go.
Minerva did not have the mood to pay attention to others, so she walked ahead.
St. Anne Mount was surrounded by trees from the outside, so it was impossible to see what it looked like from the bottone. It was said that this mountain was famous during ancient times. The roads were steep, and it was very difficult to go there. If you were not careful, you could easily fall into the abyss.
Later on, the steps of St. Anne Mount were added with stones. This project took a long tto complete m Followed by that, a temple was built on the top of the mountain. Because of its efficacity, it becmore and more famous and attracted many visitors. Soon, many vendors cto set up shops that sold incense and drinks as they saw business opportunities as well as providing convenience to the pilgrims.

For example, there was only one path at the beginning to the top of the mountain.
But as they walked, the path was divided into several smaller paths.
But no matter which road you took, you could reach the top of the mountain.
Minerva and the others did not choose their route; they let fate decide.
Because the routes were designed to prevent overcrowding, that was why it was separated into different paths. The further they went, the fewer people there were on the road.
As soon as Minerva was out of breath, she heard Vera gasping and said, "Am I lacking exercise? Why do I feel so tired after walking for such a short time?" Sam glanced at Vera and found that she was panting heavily, so he stopped to teach her.
"There's something wrong with your breathing technique. It's like this..." After Sam demonstrated to Vera, Minerva slowed down as well.
Under Sam's guidance, Vera's breathing becsmoother, but she was still a little puzzled: "It's not like I don't walk normally, but I don't get as uncomfortable as this." Minerva looked around and explained.
"You usually walk on flat ground, but now you are going uphill. Every step needs strength. This is only the beginning. Can you climb up the mountain like this?" She was still talking, as if she didn't seem to be tired at all. Vera couldn't help but complain in an instant.
"It's unfair, Minerva. We used to be together. Why don't you look tired at all? If I couldn't climb up the mountain, wouldn't it be more difficult for a pregnant woman like you?" Upon hearing this, Minerva smiled faintly.
She was different from Vera. In the beginning, because Vera was full of vitality, she would trot take Parge strides. Although she stopped from tto tto wait for them, her physical strength was consumed quickly, and her recovery was slow. X
