The next day.
As soon as he woke up, Matteo received a message from Serena.
After seeing it, Matteo was stunned and then relieved. She had replied.
"Be careful, if something happens, call me."
Then he put his cell phone away and, as usual, washed and dressed for breakfast.
His life had always been very regular and had not changed for many years, nor had he allowed women to approach him.
During the years of his sister's search, Matthew often flew abroad, but he only used his free time without leaving his job at all.

At the same time, they arrived in the neighboring town. They had driven all evening, so they checked into the hotel for the night. Before going to worship The Shrine of Our Lady they all stopped to rest.
Serena and Anna stayed in the car for two hours, and their backs and waists were very sore from poor posture. When they found the bed, they both lay down on the bed,
The next day everyone was up at ten o'clock to meet.
While they were having breakfast, Luke explained to them.
-I've heard that The Shrine has been very effective for vows, so many people come from all over the country, they say there are many people who come back to give thanks for having their wish granted.
Anna was about to believe it.
-Are you saying that many people come back mainly because the wish is fulfilled?
Luke nodded: -It's true.
Anna looked at him surprised, -Really? I thought everyone came here for peace of mind.
Luca smiled slightly. Indeed, who can be sure of the truth? After making the wish, perhaps he was particularly eager to get, so he would make more and more efforts.
After all, in this world, one cannot get something without doing anything.
It is difficult to get everything you wish for.
Luke said nothing more, but Anna sank into thought.
If it were true, would he be able to achieve his wish?
Thinking about this, Anna quickly lowered her head to eat.
Mrs. Serena, after we eat, we will take a cab from the entrance, they say that there is a newly built road on the mountain, which makes it possible to get halfway up the mountain by car. But I also heard that if we start climbing from the first staircase to the end, this will show sincerity, so there will be more chances to fulfill the wish.
Without waiting for Serena to respond, Anna immediately raised her head to advise.
-Then we climb from the first step!
Luca was speechless.
He reminded her with a glance, -Mrs. Serena is pregnant.
Realizing this, Anna lost her courage: -You're right, if we walk from the beginning, Serena's body may not be able to handle it.
-I'm sorry, Serena, I didn't even think about it.
However, Serena also took Luca's words to heart, looking out the window.
She did not care about the outcome of the worship. The most important thing was that she was sincere. She did not have to respect Our Lady or be superstitious, but she also understood the reason for doing what the locals did.
When they entered a small village that had its own unique customs, they had to obey their rules. If they broke the old customs or did not obey etiquette, it was easy to arouse the displeasure of others.
Worship was just like that. It had to be sincere. If the attitude had been incredulous or dismissive, it would have been better not to come.
Thinking about it, Serena said.
