Chapter 14 In the hospital , Jonathan saw Christopher voluntarily give up his spot by the bedside . At that moment , there was a newfound sense of mutual understanding between the two men . Christopher stayed by the sickbed , holding the divorce papers , wanting to tell Adeline that the issues online had been resolved , and that he and Francesca were now divorced . This time , he could stand openly by her side . Unfortunately , it was all in vain - the person lying in bed showed no response . It was even more severe than last time ; the illness came on with greater force , and many doctors refused to treat her as soon as they heard about the condition . Even the expert from Australia who had helped before admitted he was powerless . Late at night , Christopher stepped into the bathroom of the room . He pressed his hands heavily against the sink , his knuckles turning white from the force . He looked up at the mirror , and the face reflected back was so unfamiliar it made his heart race . His eyes were lifeless , like stagnant water , his complexion as pale as paper , frail and sickly , his body so thin it seemed as if life had drained all flesh from him . Suddenly , a message popped up on his phone . Legend has it that if someone devoutly climbs all thirty thousand steps of Gracepeak Mountain and then prays before the Lord at the Cathedral of Eternal Light , their wish will be granted - even if it means bringing back someone on the brink of death . Christopher immediately decided to set out . The weather on the mountain was unpredictable ; one moment it was sunny , the next , dark clouds gathered and heavy rain began to fall . His assistant , holding an umbrella for Christopher , couldn't help but advise , " Mr. Adams , you've never believed in gods or spirits . Even if you're desperate , it doesn't have to be today . If the rain gets heavier , there could be a mudslide . " But Christopher was determined to climb all thirty thousand steps . " You go . Keep an eye on Addie's condition and update me promptly .

The rain grew heavier , forming streams that rushed down the mountain , but he did not falter , forcing himself to finish all thirty thousand steps . At last , he knelt before the Lord . "I swear on my life , I am willing to trade the rest of my years for ten years of peace for Adeline . " *** At that moment in the hospital room , Adeline , who had been unconscious for days , finally woke up . All the doctors considered it a medical miracle , something unprecedented . Days passed one after another . The previous incident was clarified , life finally returned to peace , and the band's tour was able to continue . After the recent turmoil , the band's reputation soared . But for a while afterward , Adeline felt vaguely uneasy . There were many strange things : the snow at her doorstep was always cleared in time on snowy nights , and after coming home late from work , she would find a thermos cup of warm soup waiting for her . And the sound of footsteps behind her when she walked alone at night ... On race day , Jonathan and his friends signed up to compete and invited Adeline to watch . In the distance , the winding racetrack looked like ribbons of black silk . Adeline watched the race from the sidelines , cheering for Jonathan . She wasn't unfamiliar with racing ; she had accompanied Christopher before . She always thought the sport was dangerous , but after several brushes with death , she now had a new perspective . Jonathan's friends were also present , especially curious about Adeline . After all , Jonathan had been infatuated with a woman for years but had yet to win her over . Despite their curiosity , Jonathan had warned them in advance , so everyone kept their distance . As the race was about to begin , Jonathan walked over to Adeline , gripped her shoulder , and 44.50 % 06:40 Chapter 14 288 Vouchers declared confidently , " Addie , I'm going to win this championship for you today ! " Adeline gave a gentle smile and nodded , reminding him , " Be sure to stay safe during the race . I'll be right here cheering for you . " Her voice was soft , but those nearby heard it clearly . Their interaction made the surrounding friends start to tease them . The huge electronic screen slowly lit up , and the names of the contestants scrolled by one after another . Adeline's smile froze instantly . Because on the screen appeared a name she knew all too well , yet never expected- Christopher . 06:40 Trish Harper misses her blind date with Adam thanks to Daylight Savings Time, and instead mistakenly meets Parker, a thoughtful paramedic.
