Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1255

Yana had spent most of her life relying on her family’s background, which led to how condescendingly she behaved today. It was also because of that reliance that she had no idea how terribly she was going to suffer, now that she had behaved so terribly before Gerald.

Gerald had made sure to word his previous sentence in a way that warned her that she wasn’t the only one capable and powerful in the world. In fact, there were many others who held much more power than her.

Georgia and the rest of the Sier family members themselves were now so frightened that they didn’t even dare to utter a single word.

Regardless, the birthday party had long lost its meaning and after a short while, Gerald and the Smiths simply left their villa.

Though the incident hadn’t really taken place for that long, Serenity felt like she had just experienced a roller coaster of emotions. Quite literally as well. By the time the Smiths stepped out of Georgia’s villa, the old woman could already feel her blood flow and heartbeat growing unsteady.

Things didn’t get better and halfway through their journey home, her limbs suddenly went numb!

Feeling extremely dizzy by this point, Serenity could no longer endure the headache— that she had been experiencing for a while now—and ended up passing out! Upon seeing that, all the Smiths grew equally frightened.

Gerald himself was unable to help since he didn’t even know that all this was happening. He had parted ways with the Smiths upon exiting the villa earlier since he wanted to check on the progress on Mountain Top Villa before paying the Smiths a visit at their home.

He had reason to be so keen on checking in on the digging process. After all, from what he had been told, excavation of the inner part of the mountain had been rapid and things were going much faster than initially expected. For all he knew, the Zircobsite could very well be located the next day!

Regardless, since Gerald wasn’t here to calm them down, the Smiths found themselves momentarily panicking. However, this wasn’t the first time they had seen this happening to Serenity in the past two years, so they quickly calmed themselves again. The good thing was that their home wasn’t too far off by now. The bad thing was that Serenity’s episode this time seemed much more serious than any of the last.

Upon reaching home, the Smiths immediately hooked Serenity up to a machine that supplied oxygen to her.

Following that, they phoned Dr. Jace Mabb and called him to come over quickly to help Serenity.

Jace himself was a sixty-year-old doctor in the military region who was famed for having exceptionally great medical skills.

He had returned to his homeland this year, choosing to work as a professor in a hospital instead. Given his capabilities, he ended up quickly getting the role of vice president of one of the medical associations as well.

Upon arriving at the Smith family’s home alongside his two apprentices—a man and a woman—the trio bumped into Gerald who had come over to visit the Smiths after receiving all the necessary updates on the excavation process.

Both parties simply nodded at each other in greeting before proceeding to the front door together.

The moment they entered the house, however, Gerald saw that Gavin and the others were all panicking. After enquiring what all the fuss was about, Gerald finally learned of what had happened.

As it turned out, Serenity had suffered an attack from her chronic illness on her way home earlier. It was also at that moment when Gerald realized that the trio who had entered with him were doctors that had been called over to have a look at her.

“Is grandma in her room? I hadn’t expected her illness to be this bad, so I’ll go have a look at her first!”

said Gerald who could already tell that there was a problem with the old lady’s body from the second he saw her back in Georgia’s villa.

Though he hadn’t revealed that he was aware of it since the timing wasn’t right, Gerald was certain that he could treat her.

Quite honestly, Gerald hadn’t decided to come all the way here—after getting updates from Mountain Top Villa—just to have a chat with the Smiths. Rather, his goal had been to cure her illness this entire time.

Before any of the Smiths could reply to Gerald’s question, however, Jace’s male apprentice—who was standing behind his master and looked to be around thirty—coldly shouted, “Hold it! How insolent you are! Can’t you see that my master is here? Are you trying to make a fool of yourself or something?”

Hearing that, Jace’s other apprentice smiled subtly at Gerald before saying, “There’s no need to behave this way, senior! From what he had said, I’m assuming that he came over to treat the patient as well! Is my deduction correct?”

Gerald simply returned a smile to her, though he was much too worried about his grandmother’s illness to be concerned with the male apprentice’s earlier taunts. Choosing to look at Gavin instead, he then asked, “How long has grandma been sick, Mr. Smith?”

Upon hearing Gerald’s question, Gavin began elaborating on what he knew about Serenity’s illness. As it turned out, the illness had been present for quite some time now, and the old lady would suffer from it from time to time. The Smiths discovered a pattern where every time she had an attack, it would always be followed by a few more in rather consistent intervals. Once those stopped, no more attacks would follow until the next time the illness struck again.
