Chapter 6 The next day , Evelyn called in sick .
She visited St.
Michaels Cathedral , an ancient church on the outskirts of the city known for its spiritual significance .
Over the years , shed spent countless hours there , kneeling in prayer .
Praying for Sophias soul to find peace .
Praying for Issacs health and happiness .
But soon , she wouldnt have the chance to come anymore .
This time , she knelt beneath the old oak tree in the cathedral garden .
Legend said that those who proved their devotion could request the churchs most sacred relics .
As evening fell , snow began to fall heavily .
The bitter wind whipped against Evelyns body , making her dizzy with cold .
Pain wracked her entire body , so intense that even in the freezing weather , sweat beaded on her forehead .
She trembled violently until finally , blood spilled from her lips .
Still , Evelyn didnt move .
She knelt there for a day and a night .
At dawn , Father Michael found her half buried in snow .
Then he noticed the blood staining the white ground .
Child , your devotion is profound .
What do you seek ? Evelyn rose unsteadily , her face deathly pale , and crossed herself .
Two blessed candles … and a protection medallion .
The blessed candles were said to ensure peace for departed souls when placed at their memorial .

These would be her final gifts to them .
Knowing Issac would reject anything from her directly , she secretly placed the candles on his desk during lunch hour .
The protection medallion she planned to slip into his car when she had the chance .
Instead of leaving , she waited outside the building , hoping to see if Issac would keep the candles .
At 6:30 , he emerged holding the gift bag shed left .
Evelyns hopes rose , only to see him hand the bag to his assistant with a gesture toward … The dumpsters .
She followed the assistant frantically .
Seeing him about to throw away the candles , she rushed forward .
Stop ! She grabbed the bag , only to find it empty .
I knew it was you .
Issacs cold voice came from behind her .
Evelyn turned slowly to see him holding the candles .
The assistant left them alone .
Issac approached , his voice bitter as frost .
You think these foolish gestures can repay your debt to Sophia ? I just wanted … to give her one last gift , she whispered .
Issac snapped the candles in half .
No ! Evelyn lunged forward but could only watch as he threw the broken pieces into the trash .
In her movement , something fell from her pocket .
Issac caught it the protection medallion .

His voice dripped with contempt .
All this talk of atonement , yet youre still seeking protection for yourself ? Still afraid of death , Evelyn ? He laughed coldly and dropped the medallion .
It fell into a puddle .
You dont deserve protection .
You deserve to suffer for the rest of your life .
Issac turned and walked away , leaving Evelyn standing alone .
She stared at her sacred gifts , now ruined .
Just like her life in the end , everything had been for nothing .
