Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1094

The moment the woman saw him, she immediately teared up as she shouted, “Gerald! I’m so glad to be able to meet you again!”

“Why are you still here, Giya? And again, I told you that my name isn’t Gerald! It’s Xadrian!” replied Gerald, honestly feeling relieved that she was doing fine. Still, it was rather unexpected that she had chosen to remain here.

“You’re still trying to lie to me? Give it up, I already know you’re Gerald! You may have successfully changed your body figure and temperament, but you’ll never be able to change those eyes of yours!

You’re Gerald and that’s that!” replied Giya as she put down the plates she was holding onto before running over to Gerald.

Gerald himself took a brief glance at the plates before averting his gaze from Giya as he said, “Why would you choose to be a waitress here instead of remaining with the research team? I’m pretty sure being with them is a much nicer job than this…”

“I don’t care about that anymore… Waiting for your return was more important. Even if it had taken you days or even years, I would’ve continued waiting here for you! I just want to know why you’d lie to me!

It’s impossible for two random people to look so alike, and you know it! You may continue trying to deceive me but I know those eyes! So tell me, why did you lie to me…?” cried out Giya who was now starting to attract the attention of several of the hotel’s customers.

Gerald himself was feeling extremely moved by all that she had said.

‘So you were planning to wait for me here for the rest of your life, huh… Giya… Giya, can’t you see that I really can’t bear hurting you anymore…? Why can’t you just understand that?!’ Gerald thought to himself.

“…Giya, you’ve truly mistaken me for someone else… Look, since you wish to meet that Gerald so much, give me a year. I promise to locate him for you by then… Also, even if I’m not actually Gerald, you were waiting for me this entire time, right? Now that we’ve met, I’m sure you’re finally satisfied…

With that in mind, you should really return to your work, Giya…”

After saying that, Gerald turned around to leave, clearly uninterested in entering the hotel.

However, it only took him a few steps before he heard a soft ‘thud’ behind him. Turning around, Gerald saw that Giya had gone limp and fallen to the floor!

Seeing that, he immediately ran back to her side while shouting, “Giya!”

“T-there… Try saying you aren’t Gerald again… Even your voice had changed… I’m certain that it’s the same voice that used to always call me!” said Giya as she tried her best to hold on to Gerald’s arm.

“I… I won’t allow you to leave me anymore, even if I have to continue following you like this for the rest of my life! I’m willing to do so!” added the girl as she clung on tightly to him.

Gerald, however, frowned as he replied, “…Have you gone mad? I simply treat you as a friend!

Regardless, how could you fake falling to the floor just to grab my attention? Forget it… Also, I’d rather not have a constant burden by my side. With that, I bid you Godspeed!”

With that said, Gerald quickly turned around and left.

“G-Gerald!” cried out Giya as she immediately got to her feet again to chase after him.

While Gerald was fast, Giya still tried her best to run in the direction she had last seen him head to.

She ran, and ran, until eventually, she arrived at the small town’s border. Only a sandy road could be seen from that point onward, yet she continued running on, knowing that she would eventually reach the highway.

Aside from rows of pine and cypress trees, Giya hadn’t bumped into anyone up till this point. She didn’t even know how long she had trudged along that road. Despite her paling face and her cracked lips, she still continued heading in the direction that Gerald had left.

“I… I won’t let you run away again… Why… Why do you hide from me like this…? Just why…?”

muttered Giya to herself as the number of blisters on her soles continued to increase, causing her white shoes to slowly gradient into red, her fresh blood dyeing them.

She was feeling extremely dizzy, and this had been the case ever since she returned from the desert.

With that in mind, it was evident that her falling to the ground earlier hadn’t been just for show.

Feeling the last of her strength leave her body, she ended up kneeling on the road, exhaustion taking over her. Her eyes were filled with tears, yet she simply gnashed her teeth before crawling back up again.

Darkness soon began creeping in as the day slowly turned to night. After walking for an entire day, Giya could no longer feel her legs. At long last, she finally arrived at the highway and located there, was a tea stall.

Noticing her, the boss smiled before asking, “Well hey there, young woman! You have a terrible expression on your face! Would you like a cup of tea?”

“H-How much for a cup…?”

“Pretty cheap, honestly! Only two dollars!” replied the boss.

Feeling her pocket, Giya realized that in her hurry to run after Gerald earlier, she hadn’t brought a single penny out with her…
