By the time they reached halfway up the mountain, there was already a layer of sweat on Minerva's back.
Although it was a particularly cold winter now.
They had their hats, scarfs, and gloves on when they came.
By the time they reached the halfway point of the mountain and sat down to rest, Vera and Minerva had already taken off their gloves and hats; they even took off their scarf.
Vera felt so hot that she wanted to take off her jacket, but Sam stopped her.
"Don't take it off. You just feel hot, but the surrounding temperature remains the same. If you take off your coat, you will likely catch a cold."
Because he had stopped Vera from taking off her coat, she wrinkled her nose unhappily.
"But it's very hot. How can I cool down if I don't take off my jacket?"
Sam took out two towels from his backpack, looked to the other side and beckoned.
"There is a bathroom over there. Young Madam, you can go inside with Vera and wipe off the
sweat and then rest for a while."
Minerva smiled as she took the towel from him. "Thank you."
It had to be said that Sam was very considerate. He had even thought of these things.
The more she looked at Sam, the more Minerva felt that he was a good person.
Vera was carefree. Sam should be able to take good care of her.
What a pity.
Both of them cleaned up the sweat on their backs. When they came out again, Sam had prepared the hot water and was waiting for them.
"I don't know how you guys are doing just now, but you'd better drink some hot water to warm your body."
When Minerva took over the hot water, she gave Sam a meaningful look.
It could be said that this man was truly very attentive.
"Thank you."
Vera was drinking the hot water slowly. Looking at the travelers and pilgrims around her, she sighed and said, "I thought I had worked hard enough. On the way, I felt that I was very strong. I didn't expect to find so many people here when I came halfway up the mountain. When we reach the top later, could it be that there will be many people there too?"
Minerva pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Maybe? After all, there must be a lot of people who want to worship sincerely."
After resting for nearly half an hour, they recovered most of their strength and then continued to climb up.
Because she was getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, Minerva felt that her energy was being consumed faster and faster. She rested for a long time but could only continue for a short period. She thought if she were a few more months pregnant, she really wouldn't be able to hike.
It was not until five in the evening that they finally reached the top of the mountain.
Actually, they could've reached the top earlier. However, Minerva and Vera did not have enough strength in the middle of the journey, so they rested a few times. The time they spent altogether on their rest was used up just like that.
"After you go in, if you don't know how to pray, just follow me."
Before going in to worship, Minerva reminded Vera beside her.
Many people came to St. Anne Mount to perform benedictions, and everyone was particularly solemn and respectful; no one smiled or did anything else that was not appropriate.
When it was Minerva's turn, she knelt and began to pray for blessings. Vera, who stood beside her, followed her sincerely.
"Have you ever prayed? Do you know how to pray?"
Vera nodded subconsciously.
"I know.”
When she was a child, Mabie would always bring her for prayers. Mabie always told what she wanted before saying the benediction.
"That's good."
Minerva closed her eyes as she prayed. She performed some gestures when praying and also uttered some benedictions softly.
After a while, Minerva opened her eyes to pause for a moment before continuing to her prayers.
When it came to Vera, she was a little nervous.
When she heard that Minerva was coming, she felt that she also had something to pray for and wanted to come with her. She had a request deep in her heart, and she knew what it was.
