Chapter 554


    Rue would do this every year without fail


    She believed that it was Saint Elmer who had been protecting Adrian and their entire family all this


    time.


    When Adrian heard this, he looked up in confusion. “Is the event happening tomorrow? It’s been so


    many years since I’ve been to St. Elmer’s Church.”


    Back when Adrian was still a little boy, Rue would take him there with her every year. Time seemed to


    freeze whenever he thought about the church.


    Meanwhile, Samantha smiled and said, “Mother’s been taking me there every year while you were


    away, dear.”


    “Looks like she hasn’t changed her habits,” Adrian said with a smile,


    Rue was not a very capable woman per se, but she strongly believed that Saint Elmer could protect


    them, and it was the only constion she had over her years of hardships.


    Juno then said, “I heard they’ve invited a group of choir singers from Azure Creek. I hear they’re really


    famous.”


    St. Elmer’s Church would hire a group of local choir singers every year, which was a performance


    everyone looked forward to.


    Rue replied, “Yes, they manage to hire unique singers every year. Saint Elmer protected Swallowston a


    hundred years ago, so I’d like you all toe with me for a prayer session tomorrow.”N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.


    Joanna smiled. “St. Elmer’s Church is famous throughout Swallowston. If I remember correctly, no


    other cities have such a ce, do they?”


    Rue replied, “Yes that’s correct. Only Swallowston’s citizens will go there every year. Those from other


    cities most likely don’t even know who Saint Elmer is.”


    Adrian’s impression of the church was no longer as deep as it was once in his mind, but since Rue had


    brought it up, he chose not toment any further. He nodded and said, “All right, we’ll go with you


    tomorrow.”


    Joanna nudged Juno’s elbow and said, “Let’s prepare lots of snacks and enjoy them while listening to


    the choir! Let’s not give Sam any and watch her flip!”


    “Oh yeah!”


    The two women high-fived each other.


    The family then nned their schedule. Ultimately, they decided to pray at the church before going to


    watch the choir performance. After that, they would do some shopping at the festival market and try


    some local delicacies.


    The first day of the event arrived. People strolled through the mountain where the church was located.


    Many stalls had been set up along the way, lending the atmosphere a lively air.


    Nearby, a stage had been erected and the performers were putting on their makeup and costume. The


    elderly had already taken their seats beneath the stage, waiting for the show to begin. At the same


    time, some people were inside St. Elener’s church for the prayer session.


    When evening came, the choir began their singing. The crowd, both young and old, were shopping in


    the market at the foot of the mountain while listening to the choir performance or making their way up


    the mountain.


    Joanna and Juno had prepared a lot of snacks and were at home, waiting for Rue to finish cleaning the


    house so they could depart. Shortly after, they headed off to St. Elmer’s Church


    Along the way, they saw a number of cars also leading toward the church. The sounds of people


    singing filled the air. No doubt, the church had be the ce where almost everyone in


    Swallowston had gathered that day.


    Half an hourter, Adrian and his family arrived near the church and parked outside. They then got out


    and headed toward the event venue. Although it was already evening at the moment, many bright lights


    lit up the ce. Coupled with the huge crowd


    in the area, St. Elmer’s Church was the most happening ce in Swallowston that evening
