Over the weekend, Margot decided to hike up to Serene Church.
She had heard that prayers made there almost always came true and decided to make one for Dominic, who was still in a coma.
She had heard he was once a remarkable figure, a gifted individual, the pride of the Stewarts, but a car accident had left him in a vegetative state for five years.
Now, as she was about to marry him, she thought, “In happiness and adversity we rise and fall together.”
She would do everything she could to help him wake up.
Even if he never did, she would care for him for the rest of her life, with no one else by her side.
She walked slowly, her devotion unwavering. She had not expected to run into some familiar faces.
Charles and Joey had accompanied Maisie, their knees slightly scraped from the climb. All three looked equally stunned to see Margot there.
Maisie’s eyes were red. She touched her cheeks and spoke with a choked voice, “Gigi! Charles and Joey heard the miracles of this church, so they insisted on coming to pray for me…”
Margot ignored her and focused on her prayers, silently chanting in her heart:
“May the heavens bless our marriage, and may my future husband wake up and live a life of peace and joy.”
Seeing her praying so devotedly, the three of them were all silenced.
After a while, Charles could no longer hold back and grabbed Margot’s arm.
“You’ve been pampered since childhood so what are you doing, running here like this? There are almost ten thousand steps before we reach the church. No one is worth all this effort from you!”
