HER FATE

After several hours of driving, they finally arrived at the foot of the mountain where the temple was located. Looking at the stairway, Jackson blinked his eyes several times. 

"The view when you reach the last step would make you feel that every step going up is worth it," Belle commented. "Not fake," she whispered, and Jackson could only smile faintly at her. 

"Let's go," Eli expressed and held Belle's hand. 

Though she was caught off guard, knowing that Jackson and the kids were there, she just went along with him and linked their fingers together. 

The kids walked ahead of them with Jackson and the 'couple' followed. It wasn't a special day, but the temple was as crowded as ever. It seemed like people all around the world visited this temple. They could tell because of the races that came, and it made Belle happy to see diverse people of different cultures at the shrine.
