The soft morning sunlight was filtering through the windows, scattering a radiant glow across the forest. bed. “What do you want?” Maggic asked; her gaze was calm and composed. The sunlight enveloped her face, making her delicate features appear even more stunning.

Timmothy didn’t give a direct response. Instead, he proposed, “Have you heard of the famous fountain on Parbo Hill? According to legend, if you climb to the summit and make a sincere wish at the fountain. people will see their disasters alleviated and their wishes fulfilled. Would you like to go see it?”

Maggie disliked the way he spoke, which was as torturous as a slow execution, elusive, and unfathomable, making it impossible for her to guess his true intentions.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Timmothy smiled softly. He said warmly, “Don’t you have any wishes? I’m just looking for someone to accompany me.”

This was, by far, the most absurd reason Maggie had ever heard. He wanted someone to accompany him on a climb, so he dragged her all this way!

Looking at his pale, harmless face and the melancholic depths in his beautiful eyes, Maggie felt a sudden urge to bag his head and batter him.

“I’m not interested in climbing mountains. We’re all adults here; let’s go straight to the point. What do you want?” Maggie said it coldly.

Timmothy seemed slightly disappointed. He sighed and said, “Maggie, you’re dying. Don’t you have any wishes?”

He approached the French window with his gaze fixed on the rising sun. There was a fragile air about him, as if he could break with the slightest touch. Yet, at the same time, an eerie sense of darkness lingered around him, rendering him both contradictory and enigmatic.

Maggie struggled to articulate her emotions toward him. This man seemed to be torn between two conflicting sides of himself, one veiled in shadows and the other bathed in sunlight.

Did she have any wishes?

Of course, she did.

Maggie was silent for a long time before she broke it. Her voice was slightly hoarse. “I don’t believe in God.”

Timmothy responded quietly, “Yet, the gods have given you a chance to start anew.”

Maggie was speechless and unable to argue with him.

Just then, Timmothy’s phone rang/His overly pale fingers answered the call at a measured pace. Maggie stood not far away. She could clearly hear the voice on the other end.
