Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 445

“You’re right! Look at all the luxurious cars!” said the other girl.

Lilian was momentarily stunned out of her daze when she saw that they were telling the truth.

All of them were Maybach cars and every single one of them was worth as much as a single housing unit on the street they were currently in.

Imagine getting married to a person from such a rich and powerful family… How envious the others would feel.

Lilian sighed internally. ‘That god dmn Sharon… I’m much more beautiful than she is yet Hayward still chose her! That btch!’

‘The only thing Sharon is good at is pretending!’

Lilian was here because she had rented a house alongside her two other female colleagues there.

Looking at all the Maybach cars refueled Lilian’s jealousy toward Sharon and she fumed.

Soon after, the cars all left and everything returned to normal.

As for Yacob, naturally, he was taken away by the police.

The very next day, Gerald immediately headed to the hospital after he woke up to visit Giya.

“Thank you for saving me, Gerald!” were the first words she said the moment she saw him entering her ward.

After she had regained consciousness, her parents had told her what had happened the day before.

“It was my fault for not taking care of you in the first place. I’m just glad you’re safe!” said Gerald, a tired smile on his face.

“I’ve been wondering… Did you save my mother too? I’m asking since Yacob had made some confessions to the police officers. He said that him saving my mother was a lie! If he hadn’t mentioned the incident, I wouldn’t have entered the car with him the other day!” said Giya as she looked at Gerald.

She had been terribly shocked when she heard from her father that Gerald was actually Mr. Crawford.

“Well, yes I saved her,” replied Gerald as he nodded. He didn’t need to keep it a secret anymore.

“You idiot! Why didn’t you tell me about that earlier? You know, there was a time when I thought of becoming Yacob’s girlfriend! If I ever got into such a situation I’d have blamed you for burdening me like that!” said Giya as she pinched his arm lightly.

“Hey Gerald… Are you afraid that I’ll cling onto you and continue to pester you for the rest of your life?”

asked Giya, her eyes serious.

“After thinking about it, I finally understand why you’re so unwilling to be with me. You’re Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, a highly prestigious person! It would be impossible for you to fall in love with a girl like me!”

“Not at all! I’ve already told you before! I’m with Mila now… It’s impossible for me to fall in love with another woman!” replied Gerald honestly.

“I was just pulling your leg, I understood that the first time you told me… Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I was never truly in love with you in the first place. I was probably just touched by the precious gift you had given me the other day… However, now that I know your true identity, I understand that that gift must have been worth nothing much to you!”

“Aah… I’ve been overthinking about this for way too long! I think it’s better this way… I’m feeling much more relieved now… I think I can honestly say this now too. Gerald, I hope that you’ll be happy together with Mila!” said Giya as she smiled brightly.

Gerald felt the tenseness leave his shoulders when he saw that Giya had finally understood and accepted the situation.

“Alright so… We’re good friends from now on, okay? If you have any troubles, I’ll lend a hand as long as I’m able to!” said Gerald as he returned a smile.

In all honesty, Gerald was still filled with self-reproach.

He had canceled so many of her plans in the past. His inactions had also nearly gotten her r*ped if he had acted any slower!

So Gerald really meant what he said.

“Hmmm… Fine then. I’ll remember what you told me today! If I ask for help in the future you better not try to run away!” joked Giya.

“I won’t! Alright… For now, just focus on resting. I’ll get you some porridge from the cafeteria!” said Gerald as he got up and left the room.

As the door closed behind him, the smile on her face slowly faded. She then clenched on to her blanket tightly.

As Gerald continued walking to the cafeteria with Giya’s lunchbox in hand, he nearly knocked into someone.

“Hey! You blind? Look where you’re going!” scolded the woman who had almost been knocked over.

She was being supported by a girl who was also holding on to her IV bottle.

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t- …Lilian?”

“…Gerald? What are you doing here?” asked Lilian in surprise.

The night before, Lilian’s housemates had accompanied her as she had her IV.

She had suffered from a great shock and she was also fully drenched due to the heavy rain by the time she got home.

Though she showed symptoms of having a high fever, they couldn’t do much about it last night due to all the cars congesting their neighborhood.

Lilian had even thought that the fever would be gone by the time morning came.
