Located in the corridor in the backyard of the church.
Fabian, with his head bowed awkwardly, followed closely behind the four men carrying the planks as they walked forward.
Even though he had been to the church many times, this was the first time he had ventured deep into the churchyard.
Everything was unfamiliar, and everything intrigued him. Despite his intense curiosity, Fabian kept his head down, focusing only on the ground beneath his feet.
"This is fine!"
Ahead, the voices of the church staff suddenly rang out, and everyone's footsteps seemed to pause.
Soon, the four men carrying the planks filed into the room, with Fabian following closely behind.
Upon entering the room, without waiting for anyone else to give instructions, he took the initiative to carefully carry his mother to the bed.
Fortunately, he has grown tall enough and is strong enough to be no less than the big man who helped carry the planks. Therefore, he doesn't need anyone else to lend a hand and can take good care of his mother all by himself.
Seeing that he could do it all by himself, the burly men who helped carry the planks exchanged glances and then left the room without saying goodbye to Fabian.
Although these four people are much older than Fabian, they are actually no different from Fabian.
This was also the first time the four of them had come to the church's backyard!
Not only did Fabian feel unfamiliar and uneasy here, but the other four did too!
Therefore, seeing that they were no longer needed here, the group immediately left in a hurry.
When Fabian turned around to express his gratitude, there was no one behind him!
Afterwards, having eaten what could be described as a sumptuous dinner, Fabian sat quietly by the bedside, waiting for the bishop to arrive.
—They learned from the church staff who brought them dinner that His Holiness the bishop would be coming to see them later.
Fabian, who thought he would have to wait until the next day to be summoned, was overjoyed when he heard the news!
He never expected it to happen so quickly!
Don't be fooled by his calm and unhurried demeanor; inside, he's practically jumping around in a frenzy, unable to contain his excitement.
Time seemed to drag on endlessly at this moment, and every second felt unbearable for Fabian.
Time ticked by, and just as Fabian was getting impatient and about to stomp his feet, a hand suddenly reached out from behind him and placed on his hand, which was anxiously gripping the edge of the bed.
It was a pale, thin hand. The icy touch startled Fabian, and he turned his head sharply to look at it. Just then, he heard a weak female voice in his ear.
"Fabian..."
Her voice was barely audible, but it instantly filled Fabian's eyes with tears: "A...Mother—"
The woman lying on the bed was still pale, and she had used all her strength to place her hand on Fabian's. But when she met Fabian's tearful eyes, she still tried to smile and comfort her, "A-Mother is here."
Before he could finish speaking, Fabian's tears fell first.
At that moment, Fabian didn't think about anything; he just wanted to rush over and hug his mother.
Fortunately, reason stopped him. He knew that if he did that, his mother, who was only just starting to feel better, might immediately be in critical condition again!
He hastily wiped his face with his hand, and under his mother's gaze, Fabian gave a shy smile. "Mom, are you feeling much better?"
Fabian's mother smiled, her voice surprisingly stronger than before: "Much better."
"Mother!" Fabian couldn't help but call out excitedly.
He never expected that just by coming to the church, his mother's health would miraculously improve!
Before this, and even along the way, his mother had seemed barely breathing, making him extremely worried that she might collapse at any moment—
No! No!
Fabian shook his head violently, as if that would shake away the unpleasant words that had just surfaced in his mind.
Putting everything else aside, since his mother's health was visibly improving, he insisted on staying here no matter what!
Regardless of the cost!
Thinking this, a hint of determination immediately appeared in the boy's eyes.
"Knock knock knock—"
Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Fabian snapped out of his thoughts and turned to see two people standing at the doorway.
Dressed in white and silver robes, Fabian knew at a glance that he was a member of the church.
However... looking up, he was quite certain that these were two unfamiliar faces, ones he had never seen before.
So who are these two people? The answer is obvious.
Almost the instant the answer popped into his head, the Fabian got up from the edge of the bed, knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed to the two men: "Thank you, gentlemen, for saving my mother."
The Fabian family had brought their mother to the church for medical treatment before, but as expected, her health deteriorated day by day.
This time, although he came to the church again and stayed inside, Fabian didn't notice anything unusual about his surroundings, and his mother's health miraculously improved a lot!
If this isn't the achievement of the new bishop, then whose is it?
Fabian's generous gift did not surprise Miller and Alger.
They had encountered this more than once. In the past, whenever they went to bestow blessings, the devout believers would kowtow like Fabian as soon as they felt physically comfortable.
When Miller first encountered this, he was still young and felt uncomfortable. But as he saw such scenes more and more often, he realized that he couldn't stop them anyway, so he gradually got used to it.
"Get up." With that, Miller walked into the room.
The room assigned to Fabian and his mother was neither too big nor too small. When it was just Fabian and his mother, the space was quite spacious. However, now that Miller and Alger had come in, the space seemed cramped.
Fabian, who was about to kowtow again, subconsciously moved his knees back when he saw the bishop who was almost in front of him. However, he only managed to take half a step back before he had no room to move back.
Such a large person kneeling there took up a lot of space, and Fabian was well aware of this. He couldn't care less about anything else now, so he hurriedly stood up, shrank to the side, and made room for most of the space on the edge of the bed.
