After Victoria Garcia took her nap in the afternoon, Edward Hernandez did as he said he would.
He drove alone to a temple in the suburbs, renowned for granting wishes.
Edward Hernandez climbed the temple stairs on his knees, one by one, wholeheartedly praying for a miracle.
Passersby who saw Edward adoring this way couldn't help but give him their praise.
Some middle-aged women curiously asked, "Young man, what are you praying for?"
Edward looked up, resolutely replied, "I am asking the Bodhisattva to bless my wife's child in her womb to be healthy and strong."
"With such sincerity, the Bodhisattva will surely be moved, and your baby will certainly be healthy and strong," the passing women said warmly and earnestly.
Everyone had something to say.
Soon, those who came to make wishes started to kneel and climb the temple stairs as Edward had done.
The line grew larger and more formidable.
