He sat beside her and took two deep breaths. After resting for a moment, he regained his strength. He supported himself againstthe door and stood up, knocking on it.

After a while, the temple’s door opened. A young monk poked his head out and saw the two people at the doorstep. With atender voice, he asked, “Dear guests, would you like to take shelter from the rain?”

“Yes.” Gabriel’s expensive suit and expensive handmade leather shoes were soaked through, his black hair still dripping withrain. He was looking quite a sorry state.

“Follow me.” The young monk opened the door.

Gabriel carried Serenity and entered the temple. The young monk ran very quickly, shouting as he said, “Master, we haveguests. Come out quickly.”

The temple did not belong to the resort so Gabriel did not know much about this place.

The abbot of the temple heard the little monk’s shouts and came out of the meditation room. “This is a quiet place of Buddhism.How many times have | told you not to make so much noise? Why can’t you change this habit?”

The little monk pouted and pointed behind him.

The abbot glanced behind him and noticed the unconscious Serenity. He did not ask who they were and immediately led them tothe guest room. “Dear guests, this way please.”

After entering the guest room, Gabriel placed Serenity on the bed. His legs went soft and he almost collapsed on the ground.Fortunately, the abbot caught him in time.

The little monk passed a towel to Gabriel who took it gratefully and wiped the water off Serenity’s face before wiping his own.The abbot opened Serenity’s eyelids to check. “She just fainted. She'll be fine as long as she doesn’t have a fever.”

Gabriel looked at the pale-faced woman on the bed and thanked the abbot. The abbot looked at him. “You need more rest thanher. Do you want me to check your injuries?”

Judging from the state they were in, the couple must have encountered a landslide on the mountain. They were lucky to be alive.“There’s no need,” said Gabriel.

The abbot did not say anything else and left the room with the little monk. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Gabrielwas extremely tired and did not want to move at all.

Without waiting for a response, the door of the room opened and the little monk walked in. With him was another monk who wasslightly older than him.

The little monk had two sets of clothes in his hands while the other was holding a basin of hot water. “Dear guest, you shouldwash up.”

“Thank you.” Gabriel smiled at them.

The other monk looked at Serenity on the bed and exclaimed, “I saw this female benefactor this afternoon.”

“Where?” Gabriel frowned slightly.“Here, at the temple.”Did she and Sam come to the temple when they disappeared?

The other monk thought that Gabriel did not believe him so he continued to say, “She and another man. Not only did they donateincense money, but they also made wishes tied to the wishing tree outside.”

Since he was the one who was in charge of the box of incense money, and there weren't many people at the temple today, theother monk was able to remember Serenity and Sam well.

The abbot came over with a blanket. “Dear guest, there are no nuns in the temple, so I’ll leave this female guest to you.”

Gabriel still wanted to ask the monk about the wish, but the abbot took the two little novice monks away. Returning his focus tohis wife, Gabriel removed the wet clothes from Serenity’s body and used hot water to wipe her body clean. Then, he helped herput on a long gray robe. He also removed the wet blanket under her and replaced it with the dry one brought by the abbot..
