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.
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?
