Female Novel
Chapter 688
The bodyguards were worried. They believed that if Madelyn kept going like this, her legs might give
out, even if they weren't hurt.
When Madelyn finally reached the mountaintop, it had taken her nearly three hours. The place was
buzzing with tourists and believers alike. She bought a bouquet of fresh flowers from a young girl and
went into the prayer building.
Madelyn found a seat, closed her eyes, and folded her hands, but her mind was empty. She didn't have
any more wishes like she used to. Or to be exact, she didn't know what to wish for anymore.
Safety for her family? Her one and only father had already abandoned her.
Friends? Her friends always seemed to have their own hidden agendas.
As for love, Madelyn had already decided she wouldn't get married in this lifetime.
'I'm all by myself. What else is there to wish for? Good health? Can I even live a long life? I have very
limited time.'
"We meet again, Ms. Jent," the abbot, who had been quietly standing there, suddenly greeted her.
Madelyn was a bit surprised. "You... You still remember me?"
"Four years ago, you visited this place. Are you here today to fulfill a vow or do you have other favors
to ask for?"
One of the bodyguards placed the bouquet in a vase while Madelyn continued to sit, her eyes filled with
confusion and a touch of wonder.
"Back then," Madelyn said, "I only wished for the health and safety of the people around me. Now
they're all doing well. But there is one person I don't know about, and I'm not sure if I should fulfill mynovelbin
vow."
"This time," she continued, her brows furrowing in thought, "I came thinking about what I could ask for
myself. But... when I really thought about it, I realized I couldn't ask for anything."
"You remind me of someone I met years ago," the abbot began, his gaze thoughtful. "At that time, she
was pregnant and made two requests: the safety of her husband and the well-being of her child." He
paused, looking at Madelyn. "I asked her why she didn't ask for something for herself. You and she are
similar, both kind-hearted people."
Madelyn curiously asked, "Did she ever come back?"
The abbot shook his head. "Why don't we talk about your other unfulfilled wishes instead?"
'Wishes?' Madelyn's biggest wish was to have a child, the one she had been pregnant with in her
previous life. Her sole regret was losing that child.
Madelyn shook her head, "What I want, maybe even the heavens can't grant. This time, let it be for
fulfilling a vow." After saying this, she got up.
"Good things will come your way."
"Thank you."
After Madelyn left, the abbot watched her retreating figure for a long time and said, 'I hope you won't
follow in Alicia's footsteps."
The bodyguard reminded Madelyn, "Miss Jent, it's getting late now. We should head down the
mountain; it'll be difficult to navigate in the dark."
"No rush." She was ready to face any challenging path.
