As they departed the chapel, a sense of calm enveloped Hellen, grateful for the unexpected kindness and the prospect of finding temporary refuge along her journey. With the elderly woman's guidance, she followed, hopeful that the sanctuary by the river would offer a moment of respite and tranquility.

As Hellen arrived at the elderly woman's home by the river, a serene tranquility embraced her. Nestled amidst lush foliage, the quaint abode exuded an aura of peace and warmth, offering a haven from the bustle of the outside world.

The gentle whispers of the flowing river nearby provided a soothing melody, its rhythmic cadence harmonizing with the tranquility that enveloped the surroundings. The soft murmur of rustling leaves and the distant chirping of birds added to the picturesque tranquility of the place.
