1 Day After His Collapse

Adan awoke in a hospital bed, the sterile smell of antiseptic filling his nostrils. Confusion swirled in his mind, but the doctors’ voices pierced through the haze, explaining the severity of his condition. Instead of sinking into despair, a sense of clarity washed over him. This was his second chance—a gift he would not squander.

In the quiet moments that followed, visions of the mountains they had dreamed of exploring filled his thoughts. The adrenaline of adventure coursed through his veins, igniting a fire of determination. He could see their laughter echoing off the cliffs, feel her hand in his as they stood atop a peak, gazing out at the endless horizon. This was more than just a trip; it was a vow to live for both of them.

As he began to heal, Adan mapped out his journey, each destination a piece of their shared dream. He immersed himself in preparations, fueled by the thought of Aixia’s spirit guiding him. He envisioned a future that, while lacking her physical presence, would be a celebration of her essence—a life filled with adventure, hope, and the love they once shared.
