However, before Meredith could explain, the two men had already gone to talk about the contract and
transfer procedures.
Easton saw the situation and walked over. "Dad is going to pay. He is rich. Don't save it for him."
Meredith laughed bitterly. Easton was Derek's son, so Easton could spend his money, but she...
Since she had already said that she would be separated from Derek, how could she still use his
money?
"Easton, let's buy a smaller house."
Meredith didn't want to buy a house with the money her mother had saved up, but she could use the
money she earned from her previous job to buy a smaller apartment.
She was not a materialistic person.
"Mom, why? I know that you like this house too."
When Easton heard this, he knew that Meredith did not want to live here.
Just as Meredith was about to say something, her phone rang.
"I'm going out to answer the phone."
Meredith walked out. It was a call from the nurse who was taking care of Amelia.
"Miss Mason, your mother suddenly fainted today. There are no her relatives here. You should come
back as soon as possible!"
Hearing this, Meredith was a little dumbfounded, holding the phone and standing there for a while.
Why did her mom suddenly faint? Wasn't her mom still fine when she left?
"Miss Mason, Miss Mason?"
The person on the other side of the phone called loudly as Meredith didn't say anything.
Meredith came back to her sense and quickly replied, "I see. I'll be right back!"
After that, she walked out and realized that Derek had already driven away, probably going out with the
owner to do some paperwork.
The area she was in was so remote that it was impossible to get out without a car.
Just as Meredith was anxious, Parker called.
"Mer, I heard that auntie fainted. Where are you now? I bought the first flight back to J City. We have to
go back now!"
The person who was taking care of Amelia was arranged by Parker, so he was the first to know the
situation. When he went to find Meredith, he found that she was not there.
"I'm in the north of the city. I'll send you the address. Parker, please pick me up!"
Meredith was not in the mood to stand on ceremony. All she could think of was to return to J City
immediately and stay with her mother.
If something happened to her mother while she was away, she would be guilty for the rest of her life.
Besides, her mother hadn't seen her biological daughter yet, so she wouldn't let anything happen to her
mother.
"Did something happen to grandma?"
Easton came out to look for Meredith. When he saw that she didn't look well and was talking about the Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
hospital, he guessed what had happened.
"Easton, we're going back to J City immediately. You're coming back with me."
Meredith didn't want to let Easton go with her at first. However, Derek had left, and she didn't have time
to wait for him to come back. Besides, there was no one in Capital City she could trust. So she had to
take him back.
"I'm fine. I'm not airsick. Mom, don't worry too much. Grandma will be fine."
Easton, on the other hand, appeared calmer than Meredith, holding her hand and comforting her.
Meredith forced herself to calm down when she heard Easton's words.
Not long after, Parker's car stopped at the door.
"Mer, Easton, get in the car."
Parker rolled down the window and urged them.
Neither Meredith nor Easton dared to delay and got into the car immediately.
Parker told them to buckle up and drove as fast as possible to the airport.
Fortunately, although this place was remote, it was just in the same direction as the airport. It would
take a few more minutes to get there, and they could catch the fastest flight.
"Thank you, Parker."
Meredith sat in the car and watched the scenery outside the window. She could not help but feel a
lingering fear.
Fortunately, Parker arrived quickly enough, or else she would really be extremely worried and anxious
there.
"This is what I should do."
Parker shook his head and sped up the car.
Soon, they arrived at the airport, checked in and got on the plane.
Derek negotiated the price with the house-owner and went straight to the real estate bureau for
formalities, so that Meredith and Easton could move in tomorrow.
There was a soft smile on his face at the thought of a warm home for them.
However, when he drove to the house, he did not see Meredith or Easton.
The man couldn't help but frown. "Easton? Mer?"
He shouted several times, but no one answered him.
Derek took out his cell phone to call them, but no one answered and both of their phones were turned
off.
Derek frowned and suddenly thought of many bad possibilities. Could it be that they were kidnapped?
Just then, he saw a message from Meredith on his phone. "My mom fainted. I'm going back to J City."
Derek was relieved to see this message, but he soon realized how serious the problem was.
Without hesitation, he drove to the airport.
He couldn't leave Meredith alone.
A few hours later, the plane landed.
Meredith did not dare to delay and quickly got off the plane. Parker had already arranged for someone
to pick them up.
They got into the car quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
Meredith couldn't help but feel anxious. She wanted to have wings and fly straight to the hospital.
"Mer, don't be too anxious. We are already very fast now. Don't be in such a hurry. What if something
bad happens to you?"
Parker held Meredith's hand and calmed her down.
If it was in the past, Meredith might have taken her hand away, but now, she was not in the mood. She
was filled with fear and guilt.
When Easton saw Parker holding Meredith's hand, he was furious. Parker was taking advantage of
Meredith's difficulties.
"Mom, don't worry. It's okay."
Easton reached out his hand, tried to move Parker's hand away, and glared at Parker a few times.
Parker didn't take it seriously. Easton had little strength. Parker held Easton's little hand too.
Although Parker's hand was very warm, Easton was still very unhappy when his hand was held by
Parker.
Parker made him annoyed.
Easton was very dissatisfied, but seeing that Meredith was in such a hurry, he knew he could not argue
with Parker, so he could only endure with a sullen look.
After about half an hour, they finally reached the destination and Parker let go of his hand.
Easton quickly wiped his hand on his clothes, but Meredith did not notice it at all. She quickly jumped
out of the car and ran towards the emergency room.
