TimeNovelChapter 201 Chapter 201: But she gently cut him off, saying, “Don't rush to answer. Think it through properly before you decide." She wasn't sure if she had simply taken him by surprise. The next morning, when Rachel woke, Brian was already gone.
After breakfast, she turned to Carol and said, "Carol, you once mentioned a church on the mountain that has a wishing fountain. Can you tellmore about it?" "Of course. Are you thinking of making a wish?" Carol's heart swelled with joy. If her guess was right, Rachel was likely praying for a child. The idea of welcoming a great-grandchild soon made her smile with delight.

So, make sure to clear your mind of any distractions. The church is at the top of the mountain. It's a long and tiring journey, so bring food and don't lose heart halfway." Rachel took in every word.
The driver pulled up at the base of the mountain, and Rachel stepped out, tilting her head back to take in the view. The mountain stretched high, covered in dense greenery, making it look both beautiful and intimidating.
The peak was nowhere in sight, and there was no sign of the church either-it had to be tucked away somewhere deep in the forest. Even reaching the top wouldn't be the end of it; she still had a long way to go. It was going to be tougher than she thought.
"Ms. Marsh, are you sure you want to go up there?" The driver, who had been sent by Carol, spoke with the kind of politeness that showed how much he respected Rachel.
"Yes, I've call this way, so I have to do it. It's going to take a while, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You don't have to wait-go ahead and leave." "Alright then, just givea call when you're ready to cdown, and I'll be there to pick you up." Discover more at "Okay." Slinging her backpack over her shoulders, Rachel took her first step and started climbing, keeping a steady pace. She knew this wasn't a quick task-it was more of a marathon, so she made sure not to rush and saved her energy.
But even with her careful pacing, by the ttwo hours had passed and noon rolled around, she was completely drained and gasping for air. Her cheeks were flushed from all the effort, giving her face a warm, healthy color.

Rachel turned the camera around to show her surroundings. “Hiking. Thought I'd pray for sgood luck." The second she said that, the video call froze.
"Yvonne?" Rachel called out a few times, but the screen stayed stuck, neither of them moving. She tried calling again, but it wouldn't connect.
Looks like the higher she got, the weaker the signal became. The m content is on novelenglish.net!
Taking that as her cue, she rested for a few more minutes before getting back to hiking, She stil had a long way to go and needed to reach the top before 3 p.m. Otherwise, the return trip would be even tougher.
