For such a long distance from Atlanta to Washington, most people usually choose to take a plane.
But Melty is different.
If she wants to take her daughter to Washington to meet Alex, she will definitely not be able to fly.
Taking a train is equally unsafe, and anything can happen.
Melty held her daughter's hand, dragged her suitcase, and walked toward the garage in front.
So, the best way is to drive there.
Melty put the suitcase in the trunk of the car, then put her daughter in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.
"Sit tight, Melias." Melty emphasized: "Never unbuckle your seat belt, do you understand?"
My daughter Melias nodded.
Afterwards, Melty got into the car, checked the map navigation on her mobile phone, and started the car.
Destination...Washington, DC.
…
However, the car had driven less than a kilometer when suddenly it was no longer possible to move.
"Could it be..."
Melty looked at the car that couldn't start, but the gas tank was clearly full.
She told Melias: "Sit tight and don't move around."
Then, she opened the door and opened the hood of the car to see if there was any trouble with the car.
This is not the first time something like this has happened.
Whenever you want to see Alex in Philadelphia, this situation will happen. This is quite good. When I went to Detroit, I actually encountered a gunfight. The scene I only saw in movies in the past came true.
In comparison, a situation such as a car breaking down is already a trivial matter.
She specially selected this car with the highest safety performance.
At this time, a car passed by, and the window rolled down, revealing the face of a black bald man, asking: "Is the car broken down? Do you want me to help you take a look?"
Melty looked at the black man in the car, shook his head and said, "No need."
She now knew very well that there was no way the car could be repaired.
Apparently, the curse is still at work.
Wanting to meet Alex was much more difficult than imagined.
"It seems that the only option is to take the train."
The effect of this curse is far more powerful than Melty imagined.
…
"This is a picture of me and my wife."
Alex took his cell phone and showed Dai Lin the photos he had taken with his wife in Philadelphia and Atlanta.
"This is what we took at the entrance of the Margaret Mitchell House Museum," Alex said to Dai Lin: "And this is the Martin Luther King Museum."
"Father Martin Luther King Jr. is from Atlanta?"
"Yes. This is also the pride of Atlantans." Alex continued: "Margaret Mitchell is the author of "Gone with the Wind", the original work of the famous movie "Gone with the Wind"."
"I do know that this famous book is also very popular in China."
Dai Lin looked at the photos on his phone.
It can be seen from the cell phone photos that Melty's lower abdomen is slightly bulging, and it can be seen that she is pregnant at this time.
"The child is now..."
"She can't speak much yet. In fact, I have never seen her with my own eyes."
Dai Lin couldn't help but remain silent.
Originally, Alex planned to take Melty to Philadelphia to give birth, but he never expected that the black swan incident that suddenly swept the world a few years ago completely disrupted their plans.
The population of Philadelphia is three times that of Atlanta. At that time, the situation in Philadelphia was also very serious. The hospitals were overcrowded and the government even temporarily stopped issuing gun licenses.
The hospital has naturally become an extremely dangerous area, and a bed has become extremely rare.
"I was really worried at that time..."
As a doctor, Dai Lin naturally feels this the most.
During that period, the hospital was so tight that many patient beds could only be arranged in the corridor. Pregnant women were naturally the worst off. After all, they had to give birth to their children, so even if they were not sick, they had to come to the hospital.
The immunity of pregnant women is even lower than that of ordinary people, so the situation will become very serious.
Then, the most tragic thing happened.
"At that time, I...I was diagnosed..."
Hearing this, Dai Lin was stunned.
Although Director Green had heard about their couple, Dai Lin didn't know such details.
"Looking back now, I feel like I was struggling on the verge of death. At that time, the hospital was overcrowded with patients and treatment methods were scarce. I still remember clearly that I could only lie on the hospital bed in the crowded corridor.
"I watched the patients around me die one by one and be put into body bags,"
The despair and helplessness he felt at that time was beyond his imagination.
He still remembered clearly that the bed next to him at that time was a young man in his early twenties.
"I thought it was just a cold..." The young man was from Boston and was diagnosed less than a week after arriving in Philadelphia. "I don't want to die... we won't die, right?"
The young man was put into a body bag two days later.
Ten minutes before his death, he was still conscious and able to speak.
Ten minutes later, it turned into a cold corpse.
Alex felt at the time that he might follow in his footsteps.
But he hadn't waited until his child was born, and he hadn't been able to hold her in his arms or name her.
After those long months passed, Alex finally escaped from the hands of death. When he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, he felt as if he had lost half his life.
His wife Melty gave birth to a daughter while he was in hospital.
But even after recovering, Alex still dared not take it lightly.
After all, no one knows when a recurrence will occur. Judging from various news, the risk of recurrence is still very high. Newly born babies have relatively low immunity. At that time, he always coughed from time to time, which made him very worried.
If his condition relapses when he goes to take care of their wives and daughters, the consequences will be disastrous. He plans to wait for a while before going to see their wives and daughters again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, for a long time, he met his wife and daughter through video.
"One day there will be a vaccine, and everything will be fine by then. Fortunately, you were not infected when you gave birth to the baby in the obstetrics and gynecology department. One day, we will definitely be able to meet."
Alex believed so firmly at that time.
However……
Dai Lin looked at Alex and said, "At that time, your new house was finally decorated, and you were preparing to take them mother and daughter to Philadelphia... This weird curse has prevented you from meeting each other until now?"
"Yes. It feels like this is punishing me... If I could have gone to Atlanta to take care of their mother and daughter immediately after being discharged from the hospital..."
At this moment, suddenly the cell phone rang.
Alex saw it was his wife Melty calling and immediately answered the call.
"Hey, Melty...what? The car broke down? Are you going to the train station now?"
When Dai Lin heard this, his heart tightened.
It seems that what happened to the homeless man before was no coincidence.
This curse is still in effect, preventing the family of three from being reunited.
What to do now?
"Are you going to the Atlanta train station now? Okay, you must be careful on the way."
Dai Lin looked at Alex's increasingly pale expression and sighed secretly. This couple is really a pair of hard-working couple...
He walked to the side and let the couple talk for a while.
It was getting darker and darker at this time.
The day after tomorrow will be the premiere of Alex's movie "The Stranger" in Washington, D.C. The couple has been looking forward to it for a long time, hoping that with the help of the magic of Hospital 666, the family of three can reunite there.
Is there any way to achieve this small wish?
Originally, Dai Lin's purpose was just to use this case to see if a high-dimensional curse was involved and to find a way to escape with David. But now, Dai Lin wants to help him and his wife from the bottom of his heart.
…
night.
Atlanta train station.
Melty held the phone, looked at the call record with Alex for about twelve minutes, and then put the phone back into her pocket.
Then, she held her daughter Melias in one hand and her suitcase in the other, and walked towards the train.
"A doctor from Hospital No. 666 personally escorted Alex..."
Will we be able to meet Alex at the movie premiere in Washington the day after tomorrow this time?
