Chapter 1710
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1710 When Gerald awoke the next day, he was greeted by his master, who sat by his bed with his eyes closed.
Gerald realised his entire body was aching as he attempted to stand⦠He wasnât even able to sit up!
Sumeru opened his eyes at that precise moment. When he realised Gerald had regained consciousness, he smiled and said, âGerald!â Youâve woken up!â
âMaster, Iâ¦â
âDonât worry, everything will be fine. Right now, youâre just dealing with some internal injuries. Sumeru replied before Gerald could even finish his question, âYouâll be fit as a fiddle in no time if you recover properly for the next few days!â
Gerald fell silent when he heard thatâ¦
Knocking could be heard from his roomâs door shortly after.
Sumeru walked over to open it and saw that it was Meilani who had come to deliver Geraldâs breakfast.
Meilani entered the room and placed Geraldâs breakfast on his table before asking, âHow do you feel, Gerald?â in a concerned tone. Is there anything bothering youâ¦?â
Gerald responded by smiling subtly and shaking his head before weakly replying, âIâm fine⦠I just need to rest for a little whileâ¦â
Sumeru exited the room after noticing Meilani would be caring for Gerald.
Meilani took advantage of the opportunity to whisper, âSay, Gerald, I have some good news!â
Yesterday, the Wroe familyâs master was assassinated in his own home!â
Gerald appeared stunned for a moment, as if he hadnât expected such a thing to happen out of the blue.
ââ¦Also, you may not know this, but your master went somewhere last night to, âattend to something,â
as he saidâ¦â Meilani added after a brief pause.
Gerald raised a brow in thought as he considered Meilaniâs obvious hint before responding, âYouâ¦
think my master did itâ¦?â
âIf you need any more proof, I went over to Quidâs body today⦠Meilani explained, âThe gash in his neck was similar to the ones on the three elders your master killed yesterday!â
When Gerald heard this, he thought to himself, âIf what sheâs saying is true, then I guess master has already avenged meâ¦â
ââ¦Well, in any case, Gerald, thereâs no need to be concerned. After all, the Wroes donât appear to be aware that your master is to blame. Furthermore, since the Wroes attacked you yesterday, their family is unlikely to want to make this event public,â Meilani explained.
The Wroes were definitely going to play it safe after suffering two major losses for attempting to outwit their enemyâ¦
Nori and the rest of Geraldâs entourage followed suit not long after.
âHow are you feeling, Geraldâ¦?â the concerned Nori couldnât help but ask as she sat at the foot of his bed.
Nori had been terrified half to death the day before after seeing how bad Geraldâs condition was, fearing that he wouldnât be able to recover.
âDonât worry, Iâm doing a lot better now!â Gerald replied with a smile.
âThatâs fantastic news, Mr. Crawford! Rest up for a few days so we can resume our journey when youâre fully recovered!â Ray stated.
They would not be able to continue their journey at their current rate if he remained in this condition.
With that in mind, the best course of action for the time being was to wait for Gerald to improve.
Gerald went silent for a moment after nodding, before turning to face his party and asking, âSpeaking of which, where did master go?â
âOh, the dean has already departed!â He told us to take good care of you and to tell you that he had gotten everything sorted out for you. Ray explained, âWith the Wroe family currently in disarray, it wonât be long before they ruin themselves!â
Gerald was able to relax after hearing that. Despite the good news, he had a nagging feeling in his stomachâ¦
The fact that he was still badly beaten the day before indicated that he wasnât powerful enoughâ¦
