Chapter 198
Both of them were quietly immersed in this long-lost harmony. In Derek's arms, Meredith quickly fell
asleep, and the feeling of nausea and vomiting had lessened a lot.
The faint scent of cologne from the man calmed her down. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
...
After about a few hours, the plane landed smoothly at a private airport in the United States.
Seeing that Meredith was still asleep, Derek couldn't bear to wake her up. After all, it was hard for
pregnant women to fly. He simply picked her up and went to the car that was arranged in advance.
Perhaps it was because she was unwell, or perhaps she was too tired, Meredith didn't wake up when
Derek was holding her.
Derek looked at her quiet sleeping face and had complicated feelings. As expected, he still did not want
to give up this woman. No one else could make him feel this way.
Once he missed it, he might never find it again. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
However, now he could only let Meredith stay abroad so as not to cause trouble.
Meredith slept in the car for a while longer, and her fatigue gradually faded away. She opened her eyes
and realized that she had already gotten off the plane.
At second glance, she actually slept on Derek, and she found something embarrassing. She drooled a
bit and wet a piece of his shirt.
Meredith blushed, wiped the corners of her mouth, and sat up awkwardly. "Sorry, I... Overslept."
Derek didn't say anything. He glanced at the piece of clothing that she had wet. "It seems that you slept
well."
Meredith suddenly felt extremely embarrassed. She didn't mean it, but... Derek's embrace was so
deceptive. It was as if she never had to worry about the storm outside. She felt safe and therefore
unconsciously fell asleep.
Fortunately, Derek didn't laugh at her all the time. The two of them sat in the car for a while, and the car
stopped at the entrance of a sanatorium in the suburbs.
Meredith's breathing became uneven. "Did we get it?"
Meredith felt her heart beating so fast at the thought of seeing her mother soon. She could no longer
hold back her eagerness.
"Yes, this is it."
Derek nodded. It was a remote place and, in fact, not even a sanatorium with mature medical
qualifications. Presumably, the Masons came up with such a bad idea in order to save money and hide
Meredith's mother's whereabouts.
No wonder Meredith couldn't find it before. After all, how could she find a place like this without even a
proper registration?
Meredith hurriedly opened the car door and walked down so as to see the full view of the place. A wave
of sadness and anger surged into her heart. The so-called sanatorium looked completely irregular,
shabby, and she could not even see any uniformed staff inside.
Could mom be taken good care of at a place like this?
Meredith was furious with Wesley. At least half of the Masons' assets belonged to her mother, he didn't
give the money to her mother. What's worse, he didn't take it seriously to treat her illness. He really
went too far.
"Go in." Derek saw Meredith's anger. "I've arranged for another world-leading sanatorium. I can send
auntie there in a while."
Hearing this, Meredith was a little surprised, but she was more moved. The resentment in her heart had
also disappeared a lot.
Only in this helpless moment did she realize how indispensable Derek's help was to her.
The two of them walked in. A roguishly-dressed woman saw them and tried to stop them, but Derek
glared at her. His cold gaze made her dare not talk nonsense, so she could only walk away quietly.
Then, she ran out and called the Masons to report that someone had found the sanatorium.
When the Masons sent Meredith's mother over, they urged them to hide her whereabouts and paid a
large sum of money for it.
Meredith quickly found her mother. When she went in and saw her mother on the hospital bed, she
couldn't help but cry. She forgot that she was still pregnant and almost ran over. "Mom!"
Amelia was no longer the elegant and beautiful mother in her memory. Her face had turned abnormally
pale after a long time in bed, and she was still having an intravenous drip. Because she was too thin,
her blue blood vessels had bulged out, which looked terrifying.
In particular, the sanitary conditions here were not good. Amelia's quilt was dirty and smelly. Meredith
knew immediately that Wesley's threats to her were all lies.
It was all a lie to say that as long as she was obedient, took the blame for Ava and not tell anyone
about it, he would take good care of her mother!
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you suffer."
Meredith lay down in front of the bed and burst out crying, as if she didn't notice the bad smell on his
mother's body.
For three years, when she couldn't hold on in prison every day, she thought about the day she met her
mother again, but she didn't expect it to be like this. Her mother was tortured in this way. Those people
in the Masons were simply not human.
Derek frowned when he saw that Meredith had lost control of her emotions. He had just got the news
and arrived here, and did not expect such a scene. In his heart, his impression of the Masons was
much worse.
In any case, the Masons was not short of money. The only possibility of sending her mother here was
deliberately torturing her.
"Meredith, stop crying. Get up." Derek stepped forward and pulled Meredith out of bed. Looking at the
woman's red eyes, his heart ached. "I'll get someone to take auntie to the ambulance. We need to get
out of here as soon as possible."
Since Derek was worried that Meredith's emotions would affect her body, he gave the order decisively.
Meredith looked at the man's face and nodded. At this moment, she was like a child who knew nothing,
and Derek was her only support.
Not long after, the ambulance that Derek called was coming. Meredith prepared ahead of time and
helped Amelia out of bed. Just as she was about to call the people downstairs to help, a few people
blocked the door.
"I'm sorry, the patient has been entrusted by her family. You can't take her away!"
Just after the report, Wesley had rushed over with his men. Amelia was the secret weapon he used to
threaten Meredith. If Meredith got her out, the fact that the Masons was behind it might also be
exposed.
