Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1305
With that, the Gunters and those from Judgement Portal agreed to cooperate to hunt Gerald down. It was evident that seeking Gerald out was crucial for both Yreth and the King of Judgement Portal.
At the same time, both forces were also well aware that even Queenaâwho owned the Squad of Divine Grimnessâwas looking for Gerald. Unlike them, however, Queenaâs aim of finding Gerald was to make him marry her.
Despite the clear differences in their interests in finding Gerald, both Lady Gunter and the King of Judgement Portal still made sure to keep a close eye on Queenaâs actions.
Regardless, the task of seeking out Gerald was given mainly to Felton and Hogan.
While the Gunters were indeed in full control over Ancient City, their true influence spanned the entirety of Querton City.
With that in mind, the Gunters immediately ordered the Simesâfrom Querton cityâ to aid them in their search for Gerald by utilizing large groups of people as well as by providing them with any necessary resources.
Even with so many people dedicated to hunting Gerald down, however, Yreth was unable to find him at all despite having investigated every spot she could think of in Qerton City! Naturally, this greatly infuriated her.
Eventually, every nook and cranny in the city had been searched, though there still werenât any signs of Gerald⦠All that was left, was the vast shantytownâ¦
By that point, both Felton and Hogan were already feeling extremely anxious due to their failure to locate Gerald, even after a week. With that, both of them then headed to the shantytown with a teamâ
provided by the Simesâthat consisted of around two hundred people.
âIf we still failed to find him here, then Dordwell Heights is the only place left for us to searchâ¦â Felton thought to himself extremely sternly.
He knew for a fact that Gerald hadnât left the city since his grandmother had previously used the Dead Annies to check for Geraldâs presence. But where the hell was heâ¦?
â¦
Meanwhile, an adorable little girlâwho had her hair tied in pigtails and looked to be around sixâcould be seen standing in a small courtyard of a house within the shantytown as she delightfully said, âIâll be heading off for school now, Brother Crawford and Sister Monica! Iâll come play with you again tomorrow! Oh! And these are some eggs that my mom told me to hand over to you!â
Turning to look at the elder brother and elder sister figures, she then smiled before adding, âSince youâre sick, be sure to eat more eggs to get healthier sooner, Brother Crawford!â
Upon hearing that, the womanâwho had been standing at the sideâinstantly burst into laughter.
Naturally, the âBrother Crawfordâ in question was none other than Gerald. Though he was now doing far better after that man healed him, his body was still extremely weak at the moment. As for âSister Monicaâ, she was the woman that had been looking after Geraldâalong with that middle-aged manâ
this entire time, and her full name was Monica Leonard.
âWhat a good girl! But yes, Iâll make sure your Brother Crawford eats lots of eggs till he gets healthy again! Donât worry, Iâll keep an eye on him!â replied Monica with a grin.
Knowing that the child meant no harm with her words, Gerald simply laughed along as he looked at the young girl with adoring eyes.
Still, he truly had suffered from massive injuries this time around, and it wasnât a stretch to say that he couldâve easily died back then after being tortured so much by Hogan. By the time he was rescued, not only had most of his veins and bones already snapped, but he was also suffering from terrible internal injuries as well as from highly potent poison.
Even so, from the middle-aged manâs point of view, Gerald already had it good enough since he had managed to escape with his life intact. Still, while the man had estimated that Gerald would only regain consciousness after at least a month had passed, he truly hadnât expected the youth to wake up just three days later!
The fact that his broken bones and internal injuries were healing so rapidly honestly made Monica both frightened and jealous of Geraldâs uniqueâand quite frankly abnormalâphysique.
While it was true that he had regained consciousness on the third day he was there, he was only able to get out of bed on the sixth, which was the day before.
Due to how weak Gerald currently wasâsince his body was still recoveringâthe middle-aged man had set off for Dordwell Heights first thing in the morning to gather herbs for him again.
Speaking of that man, ever since Gerald had regained consciousness, he had found the middle-aged man to be extremely familiar and friendly, though he wasnât quite sure if that was just a biased viewpoint since the man had, after all, saved his life.
Both Monica and the man were quite mysterious to Gerald.
After all, when asked where she originated from, Monica refused to give him a clear answer. All he knew about her was that she had stayed by that manâs side for a good two years by now.
The man himself was even more mystifying. After all, even though Gerald had asked him time and again why he had appeared all of a sudden to save him, the man simply avoided giving a direct answer. Not wanting to continue being rude to his savior, Gerald soon decided not to pry any further.
Instead, he chose to obey the manâs orders to simply remain in the shantytownâfor the time beingâto recuperate with peace of mind.
As for the little girl from earlier, she went by the name of Sierra. Throughout his time awake, Gerald had gotten to know the cute and kind girl fairly well. From what he was told, she was the youngest daughter from Elias Leakinâs family, which was one of the families here in the shantytown.
He also found out that when she was younger, she had fallen terribly ill. Ever since she was saved by that man, however, she had treated him like her godfather, which explained why she kept coming over to his house whenever she could.
In fact, she was there so often that she was tasked with wiping Geraldâs face for him every day.
Additionally, she even brought lots of food for him! The fact that the food mostly consisted of candies and snacksâfoods of which Sierra treasured mostâcertainly warmed Geraldâs heart.
Regardless, Gerald waved at the girlâwho was now running off while waving back at himâbefore shouting, âSee you, Sierra!â
From what he had been told, the girl was studying in the middle class of kindergartenâ¦
