The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 648
Quetaâs face was as white as a sheet when Gerald saw her in the ward. She looked terribly weak.
Thankfully, just as Lisa had said, she had already regained consciousness.
âHow are you feeling?â asked Gerald as he walked toward her bed.
âIâm not too sure either⦠At the time, without any warning, it simply felt like all the blood had been drained from my body. My vision went dark and the next thing I knew, I had already fainted,â said Queta in a soft voice.
âAnd what did the doctor say?â
âSee, thatâs why both of us are so anxious. While a few doctors have discussed her condition, they still havenât been able to detect the cause of her illness! At the moment, none of them even dare to continue treating her yet!â said Lisa.
Hearing that, Quetaâs eyes began watering slightly. After all, even she was slightly terrified.
Regardless of how strong she usually was, facing such a situation was still going to be hard on her.
âI seeâ¦â said Gerald as he nodded. He then looked at Queta, feeling sad for her.
After stepping out of the ward, he immediately contacted the Drake & Tyson duo. They were ordered to send in the professional medical team from the base.
The duo wasted no time after receiving their order and not too long after, the professional medical team arrived at the scene.
Since everyone from the team was quite famous, it was certain that the hospital would give their full cooperation with them.
After a two-hour check-up session, the medical team approached Gerald, looking rather glum.
âMr. Crawford, it saddens us to say that we havenât encountered symptoms like the ones Miss Smith is currently experiencing before this. Even though weâve used both Western and Chinese medicinal means to attempt to diagnose Miss Smithâs illness, weâve still failed to make any progress,â said a few members of the medical team as they shook their heads.
âWhat? Even youâve reached a dead end?â replied Gerald, feeling greatly disappointed.
âApologies, sir. Might I suggest calling the medicinal team from your family instead? They have higher medical skills than we do!â added an experienced and rather old looking Chinese medicine practitioner in a shameful voice. He seemed to be their leader.
âAlright, I got it. You may leave now!â said Gerald as he nodded slightly.
While he hadnât been able to confirm his true relationship with Queta yet, Gerald still treated her like his younger sister. Even if she ended up not being related to him, Gerald would still consider her to be a close friend.
Now that she was in trouble, how could Gerald just sit back and do nothing?
âPlease take care of Queta for the moment, Lisa. Iâll try to think of something!â said Gerald.
âI will, Mr. Crawford.â
Gerald then made his way back to his hotel. Once he got there, he started sending out orders and making arrangements for Zack and the others.
Zack was placed in charge of looking up the familyâs famous doctor.
He also called his father to notify him about the incident.
However, just as Gerald was about to leave again, he was immediately greeted to the sight of someone squatting right outside his hotel room.
The old person was even holding on to a sack that seemed to contain a blanket and his luggage.
Of course, the person in question was none other than Finnley the old man.
âMy grandson, what were you up to today? Didnât you say that youâd go home today?â said Finnley as he smiled happily when he saw Gerald.
He then stood up while still holding on to his sack.
Scanning Finnley briefly from head to toe, Gerald noticed that the old man had even stolen a blanket belonging to the hotel!
âFinnley, I hate to disappoint, but I really donât have the time to send you home now. I have too many things on my hand at the moment⦠How about this? If you really want to go home now, Iâll just order someone to drive you back to the Salford Province first,â said Gerald rather impatiently.
Gerald currently had a lot on his plate, and he was clearly feeling the immense pressure.
He knew that if anything were to happen to Queta, he would feel extremely uneasy when he actually looked for that woman later on.
âI refuse! You told me that youâd send me home in person!â said Finnley as he shook his head.
âFine, but youâll have to wait for a few more days then. Somethingâs happened to my best friend so I canât afford to go yet!â replied Gerald.
Just as Gerald was about to leave, Finnley firmly grabbed on to Geraldâs shoulder out of the blue.
âHmm? Somethingâs not right⦠My grandson, who did you meet today?â
