Chapter 4: The Suffering Mandarin Duck

It's so far from Atlanta to Washington, most people usually choose to take a plane.

But Melty is different.

She would definitely not be able to take a plane to Washington to meet Alex with her daughter.

Taking a train is also unsafe, and anything can happen.

Melty held his daughter's hand, dragged her suitcase, and walked towards the garage ahead.

So, the best way is to drive over.

Melty put her suitcase in the trunk of the car, then let her sit in the passenger seat and tied her seat belt.

"Sit down, Melias." Melty stressed: "Don't untie the seat belt, do you understand?"

My daughter Melias nodded.

Then, Melty got into the car, confirmed the map navigation with her mobile phone, and started to start the car.

Destination…Washington, DC.

...

However, the car drove less than a kilometer and suddenly, it was unable to move any more.

"Can't it..."

Melty looked at the car that could not be started, and the fuel tank was clearly full.

She told Melias: "Sit down and don't move around."

Then she opened the car door, opened the hood of the car, and checked whether the car had a malfunction.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened.

This will happen if you want to go to Philadelphia to meet Alex. This is pretty good. When I went to Detroit, I encountered a gunfight. The scenes I only saw in movies in the past were really staged.

In contrast, a car failure is considered a slight silly situation.

She specially bought this car with the highest safety performance.

At this time, a car passed by, the window rolled down, revealing the face of a black bald man, and asked, "Did the car break down? Do you want me to take a look for you?"

Melty looked at the black man in the car, shook his head, and said, "No need."

She now knows very well that the car is absolutely impossible to repair.

Obviously, the curse is still working.

It was much harder to meet Alex than I thought.

"It seems that I can only choose 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 held his cell phone and showed Dai Lin the photos he took in Philadelphia and Atlanta with his wife.

“This is what we photographed at the entrance of the Margaret Mitchell House Museum,” Alex told Dai Lin. “And this is the Martin Luther King Museum.”

“Is Father Martin Luther King from Atlanta?”

"Yes. This is also the pride of Atlantas." Alex continued: "Margaret Mitchell is the author of the original book "Gone with the Wind" of the famous movie "Gone with the Wind."

"I know this, this famous book is also very popular in China."

Dai Lin looked at the photos on his phone.

From the photos on the phone, we can see that Melty's lower abdomen is slightly raised, and it can be seen that she is pregnant at this time.

"The kid now..."

"I haven't even seen her with my own eyes."

Dai Lin couldn't help but remain silent.

Originally, Alex planned to take Melty to Philadelphia for delivery, but never expected that the sudden black swan event that swept the world a few years ago completely disrupted their plans.

The population of Philadelphia was three times that of Atlanta. The situation in Philadelphia was also very serious at that time, with hospitals overcrowded, and the government even temporarily stopped issuing gun licenses.

Hospitals naturally become extremely dangerous areas, and a bed becomes extremely rare.

“I was really worried at that time…”

As a doctor, Dai Lin naturally empathized with this most.

During that period, the hospital was so nervous that many patients' beds could only be arranged in the corridor. Pregnant women were naturally the worst. After all, children had to be without giving birth, so even if they were not sick, they had to go to the hospital.

The immunity of pregnant women is 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 the couple, Dai Lin didn't know about this detail.

"Now when I think back, I feel like I'm struggling on the brink of death. At that time, the hospital was full of patients and the treatment methods were relatively scarce. I still remember it very clearly. In the crowded corridor, I could only lie on the hospital bed, watching the patients around me die one by one and be put into body bags."

The despair and helplessness at that time were unimaginable.

He still remembers it very clearly that the bed near him 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 he arrived 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 awake and able to speak.

Ten minutes later, it turned into a cold corpse.

Alex felt that he might follow his footsteps.

But he had not yet waited for his child to be born, and he could not hold her in person and name her.

After those long months passed, Alex finally broke free from the hands of the god of death. When he was discharged from the hospital, he felt as if he had lost half of his life.

And his wife, Melty, gave birth to a daughter during the period when he was hospitalized.

But even though he recovered, Alex still dared not take it lightly.

After all, no one knows whether it will recur on a day. Judging from various news, the risk of recurrence is still very high. The newborn baby has a relatively low immunity. At that time, he always coughs from time to time, which makes him very worried. If his condition recurs when he takes care of their wife and daughter, the consequences will be unimaginable. He plans to wait for a while before seeing their wife and daughter.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! So, for a long time, he met his wife and daughter through videos.

"One day there will be a vaccine, and then everything will be fine. Fortunately, you were not infected when you gave birth to a child in the obstetrics and gynecology department. One day, we will definitely meet."

Alex believed so firmly at that time.

However……

Dai Lin looked at Alex and said, "At that time, your new house was finally renovated. When you were about to pick them up and come to Philadelphia... This strange curse made it impossible for you to meet until now?"

"Yes. It feels like this is punishing me... If I could go to Atlanta to take care of their mother and daughter immediately after being discharged from the hospital..."

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

When Alex saw that it was his wife Melty who called and immediately answered.

"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 the incident between the homeless man before is definitely not a coincidence.

This curse is still in effect, making the family of three unable to reunite.

What should I do now?

"You are going to Atlanta Railway Station now? OK, you must be careful on the way."

Dai Lin looked at Alex's increasingly pale expression and sighed secretly. The couple is really a miserable couple...

He walked to the side and asked the couple to talk for a while there.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker.

The day after tomorrow, the premiere of the movie "The Magic" written by Alex in Washington, DC. The couple have been looking forward to it for a long time, hoping that the spell from Hospital No. 666 can be reunited there.

Is there any way to achieve this small wish?

Originally, Dai Lin's purpose was to use this case to see if the Gaowei Curse was involved and to find out how to take David away. But now, Dai Lin wants to help him and his wife from the bottom of his heart.

...

night.

Atlanta Railway Station.

Melty held the phone, looked at the phone's call record for about twelve minutes and then put the phone back in her pocket.

Then, she held her daughter Melias in one hand and carried her suitcase in the other, and walked towards the train.

"A doctor at Hospital No. 666 personally escorted Alex..."
