Chapter 25 Once I could see clearly , I noticed I had a long red prayer flag .
Why is mine so long ? The longer it is , the more powerful the wish .
I talked to the temple head for a long time to get two .
One for you , one for me .
Fair enough , right ? Ethan Fuller said seriously .
Me : Okay .
Make a wish .
I closed my eyes , praying sincerely .
May our nation forever prosper ; may our scientific and technological capabilities advance ; may our people live happy and healthy lives .
May my future always be filled with light .
After a moment , I opened my eyes ; Ethan Fuller was still praying .
I waited , finally seeing him open his eyes .
I almost laughed .
You had a lot of wishes .
Yeah , its a rare opportunity .
I had to express everything I felt .
Maybe some will come true .
He took my flag and ran off .
What are you doing ? I shouted .
Hanging it .
Higher is better .
I watched him weave through the crowd , climbing the pole to tie the flags to the very top .
He waved at me when he was finished .
I waved back , smiling .
The sun illuminated the flags , their colors even more vibrant .
< Chapter 25 Menu A cold wind blew , making the flags snap and crackle , carrying everyones dreams and hopes into the distance .
Unexpectedly , I was fine that day .
But that night , I developed a high fever .
My head ached horribly .
In my haze , I heard a familiar voice , calling my name again and again .
I wanted to open my eyes but couldnt .
Ryder touched my burning forehead , his eyes like ice , turning to the doctor .
Why hasnt her fever broken ? Under his intense gaze , the doctor stammered , her fever is very high .
We need stronger medicine , but weve run out .
There might be some at the clinic at the foot of the mountain .
We can go get some when it gets a little lighter … Ryder heard my feverish murmurs ; his heart tightened .
Wheres the clinic ? The doctor looked up , surprised .
Colonel , its the middle of the night , snowing … youre going … Ill take her .

Tell me where it is .
Ryder bundled me up in a coat , scarf , and earmuffs .
He took some emergency medicine and hoisted me onto his back .
The doctor protested .
Colonel , let me carry her .
No.
Tell me which way .
Ryders voice was firm .
After the directions , Ryder started down the mountain .
< Chapter 25 The intense cold woke me .
Menu I felt myself resting on a broad back warm and familiar .
Uncle … I murmured .
Im here .
Ryder replied .
I was disoriented .
Uncle … where are we going ? Youre sick .
Im taking you to the doctor .
My eyes were hazy ; my speech was rambling .
Uncle … do you hate me that much ? We were married for so long … why dont you love me …
